When it comes to decorating cakes, anything could be your source of inspiration. How about turning your favorite t-shirt design into an edible work of art? Well, the creative folks at
Threadless.com have done exactly that. They started this fantastic online baking competition called
Threadcakes and it's going on right now. Here are some of the winners from last year (photos courtesy of Threadless.com and Threadcakes.com)
I had a chance to browse through their
cake gallery this week and the entries so far have been amazing. There were quite a few cakes that I was really impressed with, including
Zombie at Tiffany's,
Bitter Teeth ,
Why is an Owl Smart? and
Phascolarctos Cinereus. What's so cool about this competition is that each participant shows you the step-by-step process (with photos!) of how they made their cake. I really enjoyed reading the stories submitted with each cake and I got to learn some new cake decorating techniques for use in the future.
It's not too late to participate. Bakers and non-bakers are welcome to enter. The contest ends August 16 so check out
Threadcakes.com, pick a design and start baking!
