Sunday Sweets: Threadcakes 2011
It's Threadcakes time again, peeps! This is the contest inviting you (yes, YOU) to make a cake of your favorite Threadless shirt design. There are fun prizes, and your cakes are judged by the likes of Mary Alice from Ace of Cakes, Bakerella, Bake and Destroy, and yes, even yours truly. :D

Sarah just graduated HIGH SCHOOL! She's really got a talent for baking and art... obviously.
