August Who Takes the Cake Contest! | Enter Your Cakes Now!

So… for quite awhile I was regularly hosting monthly Who Takes the Cake? Contests.  And then I missed a month.  Then one month turned into two and before I knew what happened… it’s now been 5 months since I had a contest.  🙁   So instead of promising again that this will be a regular monthly contes, I think I’ll just take it one month at a time and for now… here’s the August Who Takes the Cake Contest!  Enter Your Cakes Now!!

Way, way back… okay, it was only January, my assistant and I decided to choose a color theme for each month of the 2017 contests.  And although I’ve missed a whole truckload of contests, I dug up our notes to see what we chose for August.  To my surprise,  and we had decided that black would be the color theme for the August contest!!

I have no idea how we decided on that, but for better or worse – enter your BLACK cakes (or cakes with black on them) and you’ll be in the running to win the Rose Bakes “Who Takes the Cake?” Contest!

Here are a few of my cakes with black as a primary theme…

A baby shower cake 🙂

A wedding cake!  This was actually the first cake I posted here on Rose Bakes!!

and and birthday cakes 🙂

You get the idea!  And you aren’t limited to cakes… you can enter cakes, cupcakes, cookies, cake pops and any other decorated sweet I might have forgotten!

So there you go… are you ready to enter your BLACK creation?

I will keep the widget open for 7 full days so that you can call get your pictures submitted!   And then once the submission period is closed, at least 12 cakes (or other sweets) will be chosen for voting (possibly up to 24) and readers will have ONE WEEK to vote and choose their favorite!

PLEASE NOTE:  YOUR CAKES WILL NOT APPEAR WHEN SUBMITTED – ONLY THOSE CHOSEN TO BE VOTED ON WILL BE PUBLISHED NEXT WEEK!

You can also submit cookies, cupcakes, cake pops… all the sweets qualify!

And the prize??  Well this month I’m going to be giving away an Amazon Gift Card!!  Amazon is not affiliated with this giveaway/contest in any way.  This prize is completely sponsored by yours truly!

Okay?  Okay!  Let’s go!!
