I don't see why anyone would vote for entry #7 Oh No! There is no creativity or hard work there. They put in maybe 10 minutes worth of work. Which I think is unfair for the people like myself who put in 50+ hours worth of work on their entry only to be outdone by someone who put in only 10 minutes or less of work.

Like the person who did the spider cakes deserves all of the votes they have gotten. I don't mind loosing out to someone who has a really great entry and that deserves to win. But when someone puts in very little effort and has more votes than me it just seems a bit unfair. less

Just because somebody didn't have 50+ hours to be able to devote to making something to enter doesn't make it any less creative. You don't know how much time they may have had to spare or even how much time it may have actually taken that person to get everything to work correctly to get the picture taken in the first place.

In a community that prides itself on being supportive of its members no matter what the endeavor, I'm honestly a little shocked to see a statement like that. Time spent on a project does not equal how great it's going to be, and it takes guts for everybody to enter their projects here and share them with the community. It wouldn't be fair for anybody to criticize you for how long you spent on your entry, and it's just as unfair for you to criticize somebody else's entry. less

I showed the Oh No! to someone else who also agreed with me that it took 10 minutes or less to do it.

I pride myself with my crochet work and have sold several hundred dollars worth of items. I am not a professional but I have recurring customers and have sold in shops locally.

I am not sad about loosing I am just sad about loosing to an entry that was just thrown together. Also, myself and the person I showed that entry too agreed that even it is one toy or a dozen toys should have went in the toy category.

I do know how long it took to make that. I know exactly how they did it. I am also into clay work and that is what they used. I know how they produced it. less

Well. The funny thing is, I actually submitted three entries in three different categories. I spent much more time on the other two while the third one was crammed and hastily made. Surprisingly, the one I crammed was the one that got the most votes. lol.

It really depends on the appeal and target audience I guess. My pretty victorian doll dress just lacked the appeal that the other entries had, even if I worked hard on them. Next time I need to take into account my target audience. It seems that they go for sexy or funny. lol. Just dont fret about it! less

Really thick poured fondant =)

I was hoping to win! I was looking forward to the rabbit vibe. I only have one and it doesn't work well with my body. But hey, if I had to lose to someone, that picture was the one! It was very well done. =) Even my boyfriend said he would vote for it haha. Congrats! less

For those that commented about what the spider cakes where made of, the head/legs/body are different for a reason.

Like Sam said, it was a project for baking class. We had to incorporate different things into our specialty cakes (meringue, tempered chocolate). I made the body out of a tempered chocolate shell filled with red colored caramel (so when you bit into it, it oozed red 'blood'), and the head/legs are done with airbrushed meringue. less
