My name is Christina Strellec-Simpson, and here is my entry for JJ's Amateur All Occasion Cake Contest!

This cake is a yellow batter. It's the first time I used the Cake Boss's cake recipe. It's filled with my mother-in-laws homemade berry preserves (it was for her birthday). The icing is vanilla American style buttercream.

My name is Goreti Pavao and this is my entry for the JJ's Amateur All Occasion Cake.

 

The cake is red velvet (from scratch), raspberry filling and frosted with crusting cream cheese frosting.  The flowers were from my first attempt at making gum paste flowers.

I would like to know  why my name does not appear on the contest list of contestants.  I thought I followed all the rules?  Would really like to know what I did wrong for future reference.

  It seems anyone after Lynda Gunn hasn't been added,  I bet he's just been busy. I haven't looked at your cake but I know there are many that don't meet the criteria and they have still been accepted. Hopefully he will respond to everyone today since it's the last day of the contest! Best of luck to you!

I just looked at your cake, I'm SURE it will be accepted, you have everything the rules say to do!!! It's beautiful by the way!

My name is Vanessa, and here is my entry for the "JJ's Amateur All Occasion Cake Contest!" It is an 8" 2 layer chocolate cake filled, iced and decorated with vanilla buttercream.

My family only appreciates cakes of the mildly sweet and non-iced variety (which poses some difficulty for an aspiring cake decorator!) so, thanks to JJ, I've been given an excuse to break out the colours and creativity for my first ever cake decorating contest! I've only taken to decorating in the last few months - this is only my 3rd attempt at piping - so I jumped at the chance to practice and faced my first real cake decorating nightmare in a buttercream icing that simply wouldn't crust enough to be smoothed with a paper towel and, oh, the unspeakable horrors of a brown crumb-speckled white buttercream! I'm sure you all can relate. Regardless, I'm hoping for more excuses to work with my piping bags...

Cheers!

Hi! My name is Vanessa and here is my entry for JJ's Amateur Cake Contest.  This is both sides of the cake but my picture of the top of the cake did not come out.  It is a carrot cake with cream cheese buttercream for a Boston REd Sox and New York Giants fan. 

Thanks for looking!
