Saturday Night Contest - A Birthday Cake!

[CaseyRudd]

Hey guys, hope you all are having a great start to the weekend. Yesterday was my birthday! To celebrate, I'm in desperate need of a cake. But not THAT kind of cake. We're talking about a cake out of playing cards!

To celebrate, the challenge this week requires a little bit of creativity and a lot of fun. The task? Make me a birthday CAKE out of playing cards. We're looking for the most creative submission to take home the prize this week. It doesn't have to be the biggest, we're just looking for the best. It could use only one card, or however many you can imagine. Also, think outside the box, flex your creativity, and help us celebrate.

Upload a picture of your cake of cards to Instagram or directly here, and post the link to your picture in response to THIS forum thread by no later than 11:00pm EST tomorrow, Sunday, August 9th. Once time is up, our panel of judges will go through all submissions and decide on a winner based on which one we think is the best overall based on the criteria above.

What can you win? 1,000 Elite Member Points and a VARIETY BOX (12 decks!), shipped on the house anywhere in the world.

Good luck!

Happy Birthday!!! (Feliz Cumpleaños is that in Spanish). I had to guess how old were you, that, and the other numbers I had might have been too old for you.

Beautiful cakes everyone (and big ones too)! My cake maybe small but don't take it Casey as a sign of disrespect, quite the opposite! (I guess it's the thought that counts ) Happy Birthday Casey! And on the bright side, there shouldn't be that many calories in this one

Happy birthday Casey! Hope you had a great one!

Thank you all so so much for the birthday wishes! It's always such a pleasure being able to host these contests every week, for nearly 16 years at this point since coming on board with theory11. That's basically 800 contests I've hosted in that span, so it's awesome to look back and see some of the older generation of t11 fans participating, and a bunch of new faces in the fold. We hope to continue hosting these contests as long as we can!

Yeti, we have chosen your entry as the winner for this week's contest. Really loved the use of the card splitting to imitate the icing on the edge, and the card rose and composition of the cake was very clean and creative. Please reach out to our support team with your details so we can get your prize out to you ASAP!

Wanted to extend some honorable mentions to lapele, super_r, and Gabriel for their entries making this one really really close! It's been a wonderful birthday thanks to all of you who helped celebrate with me; it truly does not get taken for granted.

See you all later tonight for a new contest!

 

[Gabriel Z.]

On a side note: I wanted to use American Express at an online casino, but the cashier pages I checked did not clearly explain the processing times or whether another method was needed for withdrawals. To check available transaction speeds and limits at Amex casinos, I visited interacasino.com. The guide gave me a practical list of things to confirm: regional availability, fees, issuer restrictions, deposit limits, and the payout route. I checked those points with the casino and my card issuer before depositing, which saved me from choosing an unsuitable option.

Happy Birthday! Hosting 800 contests over 16 years is a legendary milestone. Thank you for keeping the theory11 community so active and creative for nearly two decades. Congrats to Yeti and all the honorable mentions — can't wait for the new contest tonight!
