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.

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 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) Cheesy

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  Wink

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 ?):

I am so happy to join this contest even though I am doing this for the fun baking my own pie even though it may not look so good but I am happy as part of the first edition contestant for Bitcointalk pie backing contest. I am not so good in baking but joining this contest had enlightened me on some ingredients that are used in baking. I totally humbled myself so learn how to mix the flower with other ingredients to achieve this result. So happy I finally learnt how to back pie as a result of join this Bitcoin baking contest.

I am sorry to say this @Bushdark, but sadly your submission can't be accepted because your baking, while looking good, isn't a pie. Considering the interpretation that some members are having as to what a pie is (in some languages pie and cake are the same word), I've updated the OP with the definition of a pie, per Merriam-Webster:
Code:
a: a dessert consisting of a filling (as of fruit or custard) in a pastry shell or topped with pastry or both
To accept your participation would mean that the system would be unfair to other suitable submissions that took the time to make a pie and it wouldn't make the system equal to all. Don't be discouraged though as there is still enough time for you to make another submission, if you do find the time for it Smiley.

While it's hard to refrains myself from drooling while watching all these pics, I'd like to announce that I also translated OP in Romanian board: 🥧 Prima ediție – Concursul BitcoinTalk de Făcut Plăcinte 🥧.
My friend, thank you so much for this translation! I've updated OP with your thread, sorry it took me so long.

Hey RickDeckard, I proudly announce that this is the first topic being translated pro bono in our respective local boards by our brand new Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators [AOBT].

Little product placement here, if we are allowed :-P

GazetaBitcoin will be happy if you add a link to the Romanian translation he just made for you Smiley

I hope that together we will help to give more visibility to the contest.
First of all congratulations on assembly such an OP team as far as translators go! And secondly, thank you so much for considering this contest the first project within your group! For sure language is one of barriers in any forum, and having a dedicated group of members trying to close the gap between all the communities that are present within this forum is an exchanging feat and a very noble one. Do keep up the great work!

She says I'm too late Tongue Usually, she spend several days when she bakes a cake, and doesn't have that much time to spare before the deadline.
I did have an idea though: it should look like this: BTC, but big enough for 12 people Cheesy
Oh, that's a bummer but totally understandable. If this contest happens next year, do let your wife already know in advance that she will receive a call to arms as a redemption for not being able to take part this year in the competition Smiley

Here is my Submission.
Recipe:
Flour ,Baking, Water
Soabean oil
Sugar/Molasses
Egg



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.

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!

Somehow I forgot to reply to this post of yours @LoyceV. Like I previously debated witihn some members[1], the rule regarding making yourself the pie exists for the purpose of preventing people simply go out into a store and buy them. If you do take part into the baking process alongside your wife - perhaps under her guidance? - the entry is still valid. Plus, it would be an awesome bonding moment I imagine! How about letting the kids decorate it? Wink

To be fair, you can come back next year because it looks like this contest will be made into an annual contest by OP @RickDeckard Wink
Well, the guy hadn't posted since 2018 so maybe it'll be more like another 5 years Grin (edit: and has an interesting post history ^^)

Nice try buddy, this is why merit requirement is needed here to reduce scammer participating in this contest.

I'm baking an apple pie for this, but anyone out there wants to be creative and isn't so much a pastry baker, I'd think you could bend the rules a little and do a clever Pizza Pie in reference to Laszlo's famous 10,000BTC pizza  Wink Might not be a winner but I'd give that an honorable mention for creativity. And any Australians out there, let me see a meat pie!
Better to read the rules first, you're not allowed to participate this contest due to minimum merit requirement. Well it's up to everyone else to create which pie, it can be egg pie, apple pie, blueberry pie, meat pie etc. Meat pie is different with pizza, you can google it yourself.

If you want to celebrate about Laszlo Pizza day, that's a different contest, it would be happen in the next 2 months.

Who can participate & vote?:

  • Users with 30 merit (airdrop merit won't count) and 30 activity.

Anyway the contest will end in the next 7 days, I hope people who want to join this contest aware with the deadline.
