@sanspoint Brithday? I doubt meh wants one of those…
No candles because no one likes people blowing their germs allover the food.
@MrMark That’s a big cake.
@galmaegi what I lack in ability i make up for in size.
/giphy wink
yes, that red thing above is a bird
@Yoda_Daenerys I thought it was one of these:
@sammydog01 well they are distant cousins, so i’ll take that as a complement
/captionbot
I am not really confident, but I think it’s a close up of a birthday cake.
@thismyusername gesundheit!
@thismyusername I think you need a little more purple.
Okay, that’s actually quite nice,. Good job @ACraigL
@chacham Well, he is an experienced designer!
Hmmm…
@BillLehecka Irk looks sweet today.
Happy Birthday, Meh!
@curtise Yum…!?
I resisted the urge to dip into photoshop and spent over an hour drawing this out by hand. Picture links if you want to see!
Happy Birthday Everybody!
Edit: Apparently the one I drew didn’t actually clean up the stuff I un-did so the cake as shown in my picture doesn’t 100% match the site because garbage parts are under parts from the final cake… shame.
@jbartus so I just noticed that it keeps loading different parts of the deleted decorations every time I look at the cake… that’s annoying. Even in the picture I linked the Meh period is filled in and it was supposed to be hollow.
@jbartus it’s still very impressive. I like it.
@MzSooze thanks.
I hope i’m not too late for a submission!
Mostly I just wanted to screw around with the cake maker. The caker.
@brhfl at first I thought you’d made a 3D shark eating the Y in Happy out of white frosting somehow… then I realized it was just the nozzle since you took your picture in the editor.
@brhfl I couldn’t figure out the screenshot thing but had a blast with the cake thing.
@jbartus Ooooops. Kinda like it, though.
@brhfl I like the “OOPS.”
@Trillian I love purple.
@heartny how did you get chocolate?
@jbartus Photoshop, red + yellow. I had a craving for chocolate cake.
@heartny such disappoint. For what it’s worth at least on my cell phone screen it looks like you did a good job of it.
oh my … I will never figure this out. How can I get this to show properly?
@oknekok
Success, at last! Ty again, Melwin.

@melwin Thank you!
Now if I can figure out how you did it and post it under my own screen name.
@oknekok I took a screenshot and opened it in Paint, cropped it, saved it, and then click on the image icon here to post the pic.
@melwin A clear explanation - much appreciated!
@lowlypeon Use your imagination cake?
Help. Click on PrintScn. Then what?
@pooflady open Paint or another image editing piece of software and paste it. Then crop / edit as needed and then save as.
@Ignorant Thanks, but it just got too technical for me.
@pooflady I had the same problem. I tried- do I get a participation medal?
@sammydog01 YES! I Googled paint software (after I Googled just paint and knew that was wrong), clicked on the first one, but it didn’t say “Paste here,” so I gave up. LOL It was a nice cake, too.
http://www.theoworlds.com/birthday/index.php?CardID=233451
lol… Well, that didn’t work!
@daveinwarsh
@jbartus Cool. Thank you!!
@daveinwarsh de nada.
When does this, and the other contest(s) close anyways?
@lichme I was going to close it this morning and saw another cake.
@galmaegi if you just leave it open ended there’s gonna always be another entry as someone new comes along and finds it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@galmaegi And I just posted one so now cuz I just drove around 1800 miles in the last couple of days and today was being tortured with tests at my annual cancer check up…and 450 miles to drive starting around 4pm tomorrow… so of course now this thread needs open long enough that people can continue vote since otherwise the early bird not only gets the fuku they get the most votes (I said with self interest in mind LOL).
@jbartus @lichme Going to close at noon today!
@Kidsandliz Aw, better late than never right? Thanks for the cake. Safe drive, hope you can get some rest soon!
@galmaegi Cool, thanks! Same with the adventure story thread?
@lichme That would be up to @MEHcus. I bet he’s still reading or not.

@Nate311
@jbartus thank you. my mobile phone has just about given up the ghost. i didnt win the fight for a screenshot.
3 candles so that this can be reused next year too - refurbished of course so blow out the 3 candles now before they burn down the rest of the way LOL
Alright, thanks everyone who participated and making our birthday fun! Those cakes are um… not bad. We’ll call the three top voted cakes at noon today.
Since you are turning two, I decided to make a kid friendly cake.
The winners are…
@BillLehecka
@ACraigL
@jbartus
Congrats! We’ll be sending out some stuff for you guys. Great job, everyone!
@galmaegi Thanks! And congrats to the others! That was a super-fun birthday. Let’s do it again next year.
@galmaegi woo, thanks everybody! Didn’t think mine was gonna get very far since I missed the initial round of voters by posting late in the day.
@BillLehecka and @jbartus – did you get anything yet?
@ACraigL At least winners were announced for this one. @MEHcus must still be reading the Adventure stories.
@ACraigL Negatory
@ACraigL they are gonna ship those after they send out the backlogged goat prizes… I hear they are waiting on the trophies.
@ACraigL nothing here.
UPDATE: Just got a notification of 3 lb. something headed my way. Will update the thread when it arrives. Thanks @galmaegi!
@ACraigL Has it actually been picked up? I have a 5Lb one with a label created on 7/21, but no movement.
@lichme Same. Still in pending status.
@ACraigL where do you see that? I’m not seeing anything in FedEx delivery manager (I’m unconvinced that it’s even working)
@jbartus That’s where i see it, but since @lichme wasn’t a cake winner, mabe it’s something else?
@ACraigL Something mediocre is on its way…
@galmaegi woohoo!
@ACraigL I bet it’s a box of cake mix and frosting
@lichme I’ll take it!
@ACraigL I would too! I think my FedEx Delivery Manager is broken.
@ACraigL Any movement yet?
@lichme Still 3.1 lbs, but according to FedEx, it’ll be here Monday.
@ACraigL Ah, mine still just pending in label status. I was given false hope lol.
@lichme Update here
@ACraigL Nice, congrats!
Thread/Contest [CLOSED] because we all got fat eating cake?
