🥧 1st edition - Bitcointalk Pie Baking Contest 🥧

[RickDeckard]

I am so happy to join this contest even though I am doing this for the fun baking my own pie even though it may not look so good but I am happy as part of the first edition contestant for Bitcointalk pie backing contest. I am not so good in baking but joining this contest had enlightened me on some ingredients that are used in baking. I totally humbled myself so learn how to mix the flower with other ingredients to achieve this result. So happy I finally learnt how to back pie as a result of join this Bitcoin baking contest.

I am sorry to say this @Bushdark, but sadly your submission can't be accepted because your baking, while looking good, isn't a pie. Considering the interpretation that some members are having as to what a pie is (in some languages pie and cake are the same word), I've updated the OP with the definition of a pie, per Merriam-Webster:

Code:

a: a dessert consisting of a filling (as of fruit or custard) in a pastry shell or topped with pastry or both

To accept your participation would mean that the system would be unfair to other suitable submissions that took the time to make a pie and it wouldn't make the system equal to all. Don't be discouraged though as there is still enough time for you to make another submission, if you do find the time for it .

While it's hard to refrains myself from drooling while watching all these pics, I'd like to announce that I also translated OP in Romanian board: 🥧 Prima ediție – Concursul BitcoinTalk de Făcut Plăcinte 🥧.

My friend, thank you so much for this translation! I've updated OP with your thread, sorry it took me so long.

Hey RickDeckard, I proudly announce that this is the first topic being translated pro bono in our respective local boards by our brand new Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators [AOBT].

Little product placement here, if we are allowed :-P

GazetaBitcoin will be happy if you add a link to the Romanian translation he just made for you

I hope that together we will help to give more visibility to the contest.

First of all congratulations on assembly such an OP team as far as translators go! And secondly, thank you so much for considering this contest the first project within your group! For sure language is one of barriers in any forum, and having a dedicated group of members trying to close the gap between all the communities that are present within this forum is an exchanging feat and a very noble one. Do keep up the great work!

She says I'm too late Usually, she spend several days when she bakes a cake, and doesn't have that much time to spare before the deadline.
I did have an idea though: it should look like this: BTC, but big enough for 12 people

Oh, that's a bummer but totally understandable. If this contest happens next year, do let your wife already know in advance that she will receive a call to arms as a redemption for not being able to take part this year in the competition

Here is my Submission.
Recipe:
Flour ,Baking, Water
Soabean oil
Sugar/Molasses
Egg

Thank you for your submission, unfortunately it doesn't comply with two requirements (while it does look tasty):

• Requirement #1 - While you have enough activity, you lack the required merit amount - which is 30 - in order to participate in the event;
• Requirement #2 - Sadly the submission can't be classified as a pie. Please refer to OP to see the definition of what a pie is.

A wonderful contest.  

This pie is homemade by me and my cousin. To make this pie we need sugar, flour, oil, chocolate flavor, baking powder, milk powder, eggs and some other essentials. We had a lot of fun making this pie. And everyone celebrated with this pie after making it.

I am sorry (again) for saying this, but in order for the contest to be fair for everyone, your submission can't be accepted because that is not a pie but a cake. Fellow Becassine also did that mistake[1] but she turned things up around and also made a pie and ended with two incredible looking deserts. Don't give up, you still got time to make your submission!

Because (at least in french) a pie is a cake but a cake is not always a pie, some pictures to help (in good english maybe : what does a pie look like ?):

[nioctib_100]

I baked the pie before fully reading the rules about merit (only 29 merit points away from hitting the 30 minimum to qualify!), so I understand that I'm not eligible, but still had to post since I spent hours on this (despite what it looks like)

I used fondant letter cutters to cut out the letters of BITCOIN in place of the top pie crust, and I put my username in there to prove it's mine (Nioctib is Bitcoin backwards). I gotta say, I think it looked better in my head vs. how it turned out. Still the best apple pie I've ever cooked... of course it's also the only apple pie I've ever cooked  

[pawel7777]

WTF I made a pie and wanted to participate but I found that I have 0 merit and 12 activity !!!! (((( These limits are strange and its not fair

Cheer up, the true reward is the pie itself and the fun you had while making it.

Also, if you actually made it, you could've just posted the photos anyway, maybe someone would reward you with some merit points for the effort. Sounds better than complaining.

I am also in, will submit something by the end of this week. During covid, in the middle of the lockdown, I started baking pies, cakes and bread every sunday just to keep busy but I also started enjoying it. Nothing more fun to also enjoy your "creation" with friends and family. When everything opened up again, I stopped doing this, but this contest could be nice restarting point again.

If I were you @nioctib_100, I would surely do my best to try to contribute to the form in an organic way so that you're able to gather the required number of merits. Ever since that you've made this post you're just 18 merits away for your submission to be considered for this contest. From my perspective, it would be a shame for such a good looking pie - and with a nice twist for the decoration - to miss this contest! You've still got some time until the end to meet the requirements .

Happy Bitcoin Pie Day

Sadly your submission can't be accepted since what you did, while looking good, isn't a pie. Please refer to either to OP where you can find the definition of a pie or see Becassine visual post about it[1]. I'm sorry for this, I still hope that you've enjoyed the cake!

I participated in the contest after seeing your rules.  I know it takes 30 merits to participate.  My goal is not to win.  I have made an entry in the contest.  I'm so happy to see so many more feeds.  I have gained a lot of experience in this. I have entered to gain experience so that it is easier to enter any such contest in the future.  Thank you for organizing such a beautiful event.  I look forward to such events in the future.

Dear bitcointalkers,

At first I made a cake, but in fact I realized I had to make a pie... This mistake led to two creations, because I didn't know if cakes are eliminatory in this international contest

Impressive cake, a lot of work in that eatable piece of Art.

[Mr.corol]

I tried my best to prepare.
my work submission.

[Cantsay]

I hope I'm not too late to the party. I would have submitted earlier, but I was unable to obtain the necessary ingredients for my Egg Pie.

This is when I took the pie out of the oven. Because my electric oven was broken, I had to use a coal oven, and the baking was completed at midnight.



Because I had no baking skills, decorating it with icing sugar for cakes would have been a nightmare for me. So I went with some carving designs. I attempted to carve out the Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and Litecoin logos before making a paper art chair. Here they are:




I wanted to make something that showed Bitcoin sitting on his throne while other altcoins such as Ethereum, BNB, and Litecoin bowed down to him. This indicates that bitcoin is the most valuable cryptocurrency in the entire crypto ecosystem.



I don't think there'll be any need for me to tell you what happened to the pie after that, so I'll just let the next image do the talking.
