Yamaha 1300 Tourer - Yamaha 1300 Tourer Fansite

Good morning everyone,

Just an update on the judging for those who submitted birthday cakes for our birthday party! This was a tough contest... mainly because there was no way to taste the cakes (or submit the cakes to the judges). Apparently there are different sets of rules for fat containing cakes and non-fat containing cakes (angel food specifically). 60% of the possible points when judging cakes comes from flavor and texture.... so we have to throw that out and go only on appearance.

First of all... let me say thank you to Conrad for giving it a shot. Conrad... While I did find your entry amusing... it confused the judges. I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.

Larry, the judges found your entry intriguing and you may have had a shot if you left more than a few crumbs on the plate. I am sorry... with your masterpiece eaten, your entry can not be judged. You've been eliminated as well... but if it makes you feel better, the judges did like the style of your dinnerware.

Based on presentation (of only those edible items), I was given the top three in no particular order:

1. KansasWizard (http://1300tourer.com/content/here-my-entry)
2. GaryTJ (http://1300tourer.com/content/my-cake-entry)
3. Ladytiger (http://1300tourer.com/content/jackies-cake-entry)

Honorable mentions go to Doug, TL, Cliff, and Dirtball. Thank you for your submissions!

At this point, my options are to give the top three a prize or put it up to a vote here for a week or so. Let me know what you think!

Thanks everyone,

Will R.
