Forums » Art & Creativity » Official Contest: RPR Food!

What’s a birthday without a special meal and a cake? Treat the RPR to a special something for its second birthday.

To enter:
In this contest, you must bake or cook something. Post pictures or the recipe -- bonus points for both!

Your entry must somehow be themed to fit one of these categories:

• The RP Repository
• Fantasy
• Science Fiction
• Science, Gaming or other Nerdly Pursuits

A cake with an RPR slogan in icing? Yes please. Your recreation of the “coney stew” that Samwise Gamgee prepared for Frodo while they were on the long path to Moria? Absolutely. Rock candy you somehow crafted into perfect d20s? Genius!

You cannot enter pictures of food other people created, nor post copyrighted recipes; ie something you got out of a cookbook or magazine. Make sure it’s truly your culinary creation.

Prizes:

1. A DVD of 7 RPR Adventure shorts, signed by Kim and Darth_Angelus
2. 6 month epic membership
3. 3 month epic membership
4. A map of the world of RPR, signed by Kim (as seen in the Epic Anniversary Adventure Movie!)
5. A set of RPR bookmarks
6. 3 extra character slots

The first place winner will get to pick any one of these prizes. Then second place picks from the remaining prizes, then third, etc.

Deadline:
Get all your entries in by April 30th.

Now this contest is right up my alley! Are we allowed to enter multiple times?

Absolutely! You can enter as many times as you want, although I can only give one prize per person per contest.

I have a question for this contest
Am I allowed to get help from someone? Like, my know-how baking little sister? xD

I think family baking is appropriate and traditional, so long as you are yourself involved in a central way. If she has an account, make certain you give her credit.

Unless you plan to pay her to make the cake for you. That's not cool.

I may enter this... cake anyone?

Yes please!

Yay
My only payment would be letting her partake in the yummy eating of this baked treat

However...MAY I REQUEST A DEADLINE CHANGE?
My life = busy until April is over. College registration weekend and whatnot!
I will try to get it in before the end of April. But my only chance to bake is gonna be...actually no. If I get the chance to bake it will be perhaps on Sunday. Maybe. Or maybe Monday depending when my sis gets out of state testing. xD

Well, here's my first entry. Possibly more to come because it was very fun.

It's my pathetic first ever attempt at a bento. It's something I've always wanted to do, but never had the motivation to do it. Why bother when you can just make a sandwich? Nori Totoro stuffed with tuna and mayonnaise, Sausage, cheese, cherry tomato, and lettuce base.

D'aawwwwww. That is the cutest seaweed ever.

The gauntlet has been thrown at mine feet...

This is gonna take some prep. -put's on cooking apron-

I KNOW WHAT I MUST DO. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MUST DO.

Does it involve pancakes?

I wondered when you'd show your face in these parts. I hear tell you're pretty good with a griddle.

'Kay. I'm being totally lazy right now, and I may bake up something better this week that's actually especially for this contest, but. I have things in my blog that totally count in category four!

I made this on Mar 14, 2010:



This pie are squared. It was filled with a pear-cranberry-orange filling taken from a dessert cookbook of vintage recipes (which I highly recommend!). The crust recipe is my own secret recipe, and is better and flakier than your grandma's crust.

Then there was this cake, made for my brother's birthday a couple of years ago...




It was delicious and moist - no, really. And, holy cow, so much chocolate. Three layers of devil's food cake (and alas, can't remember where I got the recipe from), whipped cream between the layers, french chocolate icing, chocolate shavings, whipped cream, and cherries. The only bit I didn't make myself was the cherries and the shavings - turns out you can get those pre-done out of jars, these days! Saved so much time, pfaha.

Oh man that is one of the best Portal cakes I've ever seen. I attempted one a few years ago but it pales in quality compared to yours.

Anyone else working on their yummies this weekend? I am. .
I'm not super creative, so I'm just going with a RPR themed birthday cake.



Sorry, not a professional, and totally broke. Used some cake mix and icing I had left around the house.
Cake reads:
Happy
RPR
B-day

Ha ha.

Tried to go to follow the colorscheme of the site. Failll.

Health potion:
-Plain black tea, brewed VERY strong
-Red food colouring (5-6 drops should do it)
-Mint extract because I'm too lazy to go out and buy real mint and boil it myself 93 drops should be more than enough)
-Vanilla extract
-Cinnamon because it tastes awesome.
-two sugar cubes because I'm a whimp.

This is what I drink when I'm sick, save for the red dye. I saw the beaker and I basically had this little torch go above my head and light up. Potion!

Potion: Cure light wounds - it gives you 1D8 back in health. Enjoy.

Edit: Man that glass is dirty, and so is my stove - sorry!

Oh whoa. This thread is so full of win. Awesome cake Amirrora! I wish I could have a slice!

And what a creative entry, Lily! Thank you very much for including the recipe and the fact that it is actually useful for its stated purpose. I'm so impressed with what people have been coming up with.

It was a very yummy cake. Devil's chocolate food cake, with milk chocolate icing. Filled with Cream Cheese icing, and the letters written in cream cheese icing. Topped with rainbow bit sprinkles. Tasted sooo good.
