Subeta Birthday Cake Contest - Issues With Entering



We've only received two reports of users being unable to submit their entries for the Subeta Birthday Cake Contest, but wanted to make sure that there aren't more of you out there!

We think the issue is caused by a browser extension but haven't been able to pinpoint it (one user was able to upload after switching to another browser). If you're having issues with your upload--remember, the image will continue to be displayed on the submit page if it was received!--please submit your description as well as an uploaded link to your image in the text area. It will let you do this without submitting an image.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or issues. We'll make sure you're all entered into the voting!

BAH COMPUTER! My image won't open from my camera disk and I can't find the camera cord to connect directly to the computer! :( I loved my entry too so cynical :P

I just finished my cake! Thankfully I took a bunch of pictures before I dropped my phone on it, haha. This is the first cake I've ever decorated, and I'm happy with it! Uploading now. :)

Couldn't make it to the store and got swamped down with things. No cake. :( Can't wait to see all the other entries, though.

One thanksgiving, my siamese cat walked through ALL FIVE of the homemade pumpkin pies my mom made. Perfectly formed cat prints.

Sadly no pictures D:

Looks like I'm going to miss this altogether. Wish I had some vacation time to re-do the cake I made, which my cat decided to push off the table :P

The entry form gave me error messages until I resized my image to something like 400*600. You might want to check the file/dimension parameters and like...display them.

I'm gonna pretend that the french toast I make tomorrow morning counts and take a picture of it. :P I probably won't submit it, but I will definitely enjoy eating it.

Oh no, the Subeta theme has been killing me, too. And my original idea fell through, so I have one shot tomorrow to possibly make something

What's killing me is the Subeta-themed thing. If it's for an official item, we could be allowed to make cakes that still aren't in the site. I'm just not good at baking and I'd not know how to draw a pet or make a cake shaped like a pet :P (or a Subeta land etc.)

And it needs to be edible! But as long as it's food and technically a cake, GOPHER IT!

Cupcakes are totally fine! Honestly, if you want to be clever and make something not technically a cake in a cake fashion, feel free! Just make sure you can at least talk it into being a cake.

I'm thinking like the meatloaf cupcakes that are frosted with mashed potatoes--and now I'm way too pregnant and going to make that for dinner brb.
