Re: Birthday - Samanayr Treats Cooking Contest!
Thank you! Her mane/tail/tufts are made of cotton candy- which melted to the cake now...good thing I took pictures right away! My first time sculpting cake! Here were two things I learned: 1. DO NOT use the "extra moist" cake. 2. DO NOT use the creamy frosting. 3. Make sure the house is not too hot. Ugh...the frosting wanted to stick to everything except the cake. =P
I considered fondant since I've worked with it before, but I didn't have the time to make it or the money to buy it. That stuff's expensive! Ditto with marzipan...love the taste though! I love how you can sculpt with it like clay...well, annoying clay in both cases. I want to try using sculpting chocolate, but I don't know where to get it.
Oh...and here's the reason that I only entered 1 contest:

Results!
I'm so sorry to take so long with the judging for this and the design contest! I was overjoyed to see so many delicious Samanayr treats, and while going through the entries I had to stop and make cupcakes so that I could get my own sugar fix XD I love how everyone incorporated Samanayrs into their entries too - you're a talented bunch of bakers! Thank you for all of the entries, and I hope you enjoyed devouring them when all of the pictures were taken!If you'd like to see some real deliciousness and haven't checked out the contest thread on the forum, I'd highly recommend it - lots of people posted step-by-step photos and info about their entries!

Mr Sushi helped with the judging, otherwise I'd still be working on it XD

Congrats everyone! There were some amazing cakes and such entered, can't have been easy narrowing it down to just four!
Re: Birthday - Samanayr Treats Cooking Contest - results!
Eee! Exciting! Congratulations everyone....! They were all so tasty, and like Lakota - I sooooo wanted a nibble.
As far as prizes go - choices, choices, choices! So hard! .... as pretty as all of the Samanayar are I am SO a puppy person, so I'd like to have the Oquiesa pretty please. I do not know who I will equip her to, but I can take a little time doing that I hope? <3

Since Delicious has now chosen, an excellent choice I might add, I will go ahead and choose now.
As much as I love Sa'grisayrs, I think I am going to choose the Illiayr girl, Stealing of the Luminous Lichen, to be my first Illiayr
Thank you Sushi for holding this event! It's nice to have a reason to cook up something artistic.

Whoo, I never thought I'd actually have a shot at getting the Sa'grisayr! I was ogling her when the contest began because she has such an awesome design ;} So, I'm going to take her XD
Sweet!
Delicious, I can't wait to see that Oquiesa equipped - she's beautiful and I'm totally a dog person too XD
