CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods?  It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear.  My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas.  Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas.  Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next Call.  This is a beautiful venue, by the way…

The entry fee is only $25, and the commission is ONLY 20%! For those of you looking to add a SD show to your resume, here is your chance…

GINGERBREAD
HOUSES…

Last year, I mentioned gingerbread house kits and got one in the mail from a reader.  The result, well, we won’t talk about it.  But, when it comes to baking, I have to depend on kits, or leave it to my husband for the scratch-made goods.  I’m not great at it.  The recipe for this Christmas Cake (left) by Delia Smith used to be available in kit form.  This will be my fruitcake substitute this year. The next Call wants you to be inspired by a kit of mystery materials. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mystery Build 2013. This year’s theme is “Re-Invent a Work of Art”.  What can be better than getting a mystery box of supplies by mail? Investigate this one…

Mystery Build 2013

Mystery Build is an art challenge developed by two artists to inspire creativity. The concept is simple. Buy a kit. Make something out of the contents of the kit. And, upload either a picture or video of your creation.

ELIGIBILITY: Contest is only open to legal residents of the U.S. and D.C. Contestants must be 18 years of age and older to receive cash prizes. Contestants under the age of 18 must have an adult who is 18 or older complete the Submission Form.

THEME: “Re-Invent a Work of Art” — You may interpret the contest’s theme any way you wish. Perhaps a re-creation of a famous painting in the form of a sculpture, or a new perspective or hidden angle on a familiar work of art. You will specify what work of art you are re-inventing on the submission form. Any work of art can be used, in any medium from painting, to film, music, architecture, photography, sculpture, culinary arts etc. The entry should not be a replica of the work but a re-interpretation, continuation, or unique version of the original artwork.

Learn more about the 2013 Mystery Build! MEDIA: You must buy a Mystery Build Kit. You may choose to use anything in the Kit and the Mystery Build tin itself, but you are not required to use all of the materials. Entrants MAY ADD paint, varnish, lacquer, food coloring, oil, water, dye, ink, and similar liquids to decorate or enhance the entry, or to manipulate the materials. Liquids may not be used for structural elements, but may only be used as a surface enhancement or as a tool. Substances which are not liquid at room temperature, such as wax, are excluded. Liquid adhesives not included in the Kit are also not permitted. Judges will have final ruling on use of liquids.

Entrants may use any tools available to them to alter the materials in the Mystery Build Kit, barring tools that add or leave behind an additional physical material, such as a stapler which leaves a metal staple, or a soldering operation which adds solder. You may make tools out of any materials you want. Tools may include molds, which also do not have to be made of materials from the Kit.

FRUITS
