I always love seeing everyone's delicious creations. Too bad I can't actually taste test them. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with this year.

Do we have to take a picture of the actual ingredients or can we just list what we used? For example, if the recipe came from a recipe card, can I just post a picture of the card?

They require a picture of the actual ingredients. This was one of my entries from last year just to show you.

@tripletfeb is correct. We need a picture of the ingredients you used. It helps to prove you actually made it for the contest, plus it's just pretty to see.

Ok, thank you!

Entry one:
This cake recipe came from a card in my great-great-great-grandmother’s recipe box from around 1900. It only listed the ingredients; no instructions. I frosted it with a salted caramel frosting, and it came out delicious!

That looks really good. I might need to try making it. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Did you make the frosting too?

Yes. Here is the recipe:

Would you like the recipe for caramel sauce also?
