Quests & Challenges

@KittyHamilton I didn't even realize answers were up at some point and was trying not to be confused, I do remember voting for the decorations at some point though, do I need to send in my vote again?

@KittyHamilton

Welcome back! :) I like your "fix."

Could you do me a favor and let me know how many times I have voted? I know that I missed Sunday, June 24 (unfortunately) so I am not in the running for the "Perfection" prizes, but I am trying to figure out how many tickets I have in the General Raffle...I'm pretty sure I have been right every time I voted, I just have lost track of the numbers.

Thanks!

So we're waiting for the next vote to be posted. . . ?

Everyone likes their cake to match the flowers. You just need to look up what species will be depicted on the cake...which you can’t find a reference to, anywhere, at all.. Wonderful. Until someone finds what looks like an attempt at a modeling chocolate flower from the freezer, with a note about it being for a Brightshine wedding cake, or at least an attempt at practicing at it. No one remembers having made it, much less what type of flower it’s supposed to be. You go to the florist anyway.

@KittyHamilton love the message after the vote :D
It needs to be shinier! NO! SHINIER!!!

How come Celyn & Galen got the one Tier cake w/ cupcakes instead of a three Tier cake, when in the 3rd clue they wanted a three Tier cake (now I get that it had to be them because Duke obviously isnt allergic to cheese, I don't remember what I voted anymore though, but what made them change thier minds)?

@Xoanon the third clue says they're interested in other shapes because they thought the 3-tier was too traditional.

@Alastriona1 Well I thought that had to do with the fact that they have a scalloped shape cake, not that they wanted something other than 3 tiers ?
At least they are in no danger of being traditional, seeing as Duke and Duchess have a 3 tier round cake which I think is pretty traditional.

@Xoanon ahh! I see what you were asking. Yes the scalloped was less traditional, and then the 4th clue talked about the cupcake tree. I don't know, when I read clues 3 and 4 together, I understood it to mean that C&G weren't really interested in the 3-tier at all. But I can see how it is open to interpretation!

@KittyHamilton I'm not sure if we're too late to vote for Thursday in all this confusion, I know I did once already but there was more confusion and I'm not sure if I had to recast my vote, I just know I never saw the answers to it and decided it might be more helpful for me to just vote again anyway than wait for you to answer my question.

This has still been a fun event regardless, I only feel sorry for you, I can't imagine it's anything less than superstressful when issues snowball while you're running it.
