I thought you had to have a border on top too, but I see some of the entries dont. Here is another entry that I think is better than my first!

Entries that don't meet the basic decorating criteria are not likely to win. I have entered your first cake in the contest. I think it is quite nice anyway :)

This is a tribute to the victims of 9/11. 3 wreaths, 1 for each tragic location. The cake and buttercream frosting are Vanilla Almond flavor. One layer is blue, one is red and the filling is white.
Thank you.
