Tossed in my vote. Can't wait to see the final cakes. (Please tell me you're posting finished pictures!!! Otherwise I may have to draw them myself. XD) Ivylight has some cake based you could use if needed.

But they need a final touch! A topper, to make them pop! Edible, of course. Toppers are often the most distinguishing trait of a particular cake, where couples display their individuality through their choice.[/color][/center] [columns][center][color=#775849][b]Lavender Sprig[/b] Elegant, understated, beautiful.

One in particular has turned into a late, disorganized mess. Now, she’s about to have a nervous breakdown over a deconstructed wedding cake. She came up with the perfect arrangement, but forgot what it was! A deconstructed wedding cake consists of multiple one-tier cakes on cake stands, all with a similar theme and style. All three of these cakes will have pink strawberry buttercream frosting, but what piping technique should be used on which flavor of cake? And which goes on the left, center, or right cake stand? [color=#775849]This arrangement will have:[/color] [list] [*][color=#775849]Flavors: Chocolate, Pink Champagne, and Vanilla flavored cakes[/color] [*][color=#775849]Piping: Basketweave, Rosettes, and Shells as piping techniques[/color] [*][color=#775849]Positions: Left, Center, and Right as positions[/color] [/list] [color=#775849]The baker does remember some bits and pieces...[/color] [list] [*][color=#775849]Center does not have Shells.[/color] [*][color=#775849]Chocolate is not in the middle.[/color] [*][color=#775849]Pink Champagne has either Basketweave or Rosettes.[/color] [*][color=#775849]Pink Champagne is to the right of Vanilla.[/color] [*][color=#775849]Rosettes is to the left of Shells.[/color] [*][color=#775849]Vanilla does not have Rosettes.[/color][/list] [color=#775849]Surely you can work it out from that...right…?[/color] [img]https://imgur.com/XLuYPiZ.png[/img] [color=#775849][size=7][font=georgia][b][url=https://goo.gl/forms/hoz3De7eV3yHSGhn1]Vote Here![/url][/b][/font][/size][/color][right][img]https://imgur.com/6mlt6oK.png[/img][/right] [img]https://imgur.com/XLuYPiZ.png[/img] [/color] ----- [size=2]@excessnight @Cheshly @FrostyTigress @Syceris @jbapple @Silvertabby13 @sacredpools @OpalNova @Quintillion @birdfairy @Zillua @mossyaki @alyblaith @Mishil @aelith @sockmonkeygerald @Sidegrinder @zedetta @SilverQuark @Stellatrix13 @tigressRising @Dragonartist24 @GeriVl @MarinaQuakenbush @QueenSabriel @Lilydew @Saraceaser @Juri01 @CharlieWeasleyy @chatoyant @jinian @Katsuokai @gloria956 @Reroad @Alastriona1 @Tues @Dil @Scatterspark @Roenais @Als @TheOtherKirby @changelingstar @Gravebloom @heartcrusher1 @Eialyne @Saronai @lilystar6 @SnakeGarden @RaiStarDragon @Broderick @ghostpastry @LiNaan @Canisa @velkyr @counterfeat @argylion @openlocks @Bluecupcake52 @rubyredtan @Lundlaeva @SolInvictus @CyberneticWolf @Kazure @Xoanon[/size] -----

Hooray, new puzzle! This event's been fun, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit sad this was the last one. You've struck a really good balance between making them challenging and still possible to solve.

I have no idea what to make of that poem, though. I'll look over the old clues after I get some sleep. ^^'

@KittyHamilton

I'd like to pretend that this new clue makes the difrence in wether my vote ends up right, but nope - still blind

Just cast my final vote in, still trying to decide if clue 11 helped me or made me doubt my choice haha

@KittyHamilton thank you so much for hosting such a great game, funny hiccups and all. It was a really neat challenge, and you deserve tons of praise for managing the whole thing!

@KittyHamilton >> I think I got the wrong answer. no way to submit the right one, is there?

Sorry for pinging everyone so much due to my mistakes!

If Clue #11 makes you want to change your vote, go ahead and vote again! If you voted before Clue #11 was posted, and again afterward, I will ignore the pre-Clue#11 vote in favor of the new one.
