🥧 1st edition - Bitcointalk Pie Baking Contest 🥧

[Becassine]

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

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.

Happy Bitcoin Pie Day

[Patrol69]

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!

The first time I made a cake by mistake.  But I try again to create a bitcoin pie.  Hopefully this time I can make a bitcoin pie.

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

Thank you for your submission Popkon6! I've added your submission to the list.

The first time I made a cake by mistake.  But I try again to create a bitcoin pie.  Hopefully this time I can make a bitcoin pie.

Thank you for the submission Patrol69! Will also add it to the list for the next phase.

       My first ever try to make pie

Thank you! I've also added it to the list!

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!

 'like dark chocolate like a mouse ! 

[tisnaislam111]

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.

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.

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.
