Yes, I do see people are misunderstanding. Piped figures are figures created with icing on a cake.

I really wasn't sure either but I did enterd a couple that were created with just icing.  When I saw the prizes and that they were from Roland Winbeckler I assumed that they were to be like the cakes he creates.  He creates sculptures using only buttercream.  The cakes that I entered are similar to what he does so I hope that I interpreted it right. I started with mostly a flat cake and piped in buttercream to sculpt the features.

I have a photo that has piped fruits and veggies on it and I marked it Figure Piping Contest but it doesn't show up. The other one I have does, any suggestions?

I am with you on that... I was unclear too when I saw some of the submissions.  I was thinking of the piped figures that are 3D too but there are a lot more variations entered.

I'm still a little confused on the definition of piped figures based on what I'm seeing in the submissions.  I don't do any piping yet.  But I want to make sure my voting reflects the correct interpretation of the theme.  My interpretation is that piped figures means three dimensional figures (people animals etc) piped on top of a cake...kind of like those clowns they do in the Wilton class, but the operative word here being three dimensional.  But most of the submissions are flat, two dimensional piping.   Am I being too literal, or is either okay?

I thought they would be 3-D too, but most of the slubmissions seem to be 2-D.  I have yet to  try the 3-D piping.
