We've brought in some heavy-duty cake-judging talent to determine who reigns supreme. In addition to one or two Threadless staffers and myself, the following foodie-folks will be taking your tasty creations to task:
Jen is the writer and creator of the hit blog Cake Wrecks. Cake Wrecks was the 2008 Weblog Awards winner for Best Food Blog and the 2008 winner of the Best Humor Blog from the Blogger's Choice Awards. Jen's book, Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Hilariously Wrong, is
available now!
