~❤️ Happy February, Talonians! ❤️~
What's that aroma in the air? Is it LOVE?
HAHA NO, silly! It's cakes, pastries, brownies, and cookies! ....filled with love. Okay, you kind of got it right.
Here at TalonRO, we don't believe in merely just taking one day in particular to prove your love, we're gonna stretch it all the way till March so everyone gets the chance to show the world what they can create!
Three exceptional Talonians will win top prizes for creating a delicious treat for their loved ones, judged by looks, deliciousness, recipe explanations, and overall quality!
The only catch is: You have to bake this with your love of someone in mind! Tell us who you want to "give" your creation to; It could be another player, a GM, an NPC, even a monster or pet!
So show us the shape of your heart with the power of BAKED GOODS!
~❤️ The Rules ❤️~
❤ Include your In Game Name in your post and in the picture (on a piece of paper, for example). ❤ You must include photos of your finished baked good/dessert. The finished product photo is absolutely required! ❤ Keep a connection to tRO in mind. Don't just make a normal dessert and give it an RO name - there must be a clear tRO theme and explain the connection if it isn't immediately obvious. ❤ Make sure your recipe is HAND CRAFTED BY YOU. You can be inspired by online recipes or choices, but make sure you post the entire recipe you've used and make it RO-themed somehow! ❤ Name your creation! ❤ Include your IGN or Forum name hand-written somewhere in the photograph so we know it was made by you. ❤ When you are baking, make sure you include both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures. ❤ You are baking this with someone in mind, so please state in your post or in the picture itself whom you are baking this creation for! It can be another player, a GM, an NPC, a monster - You get the idea! ❤ Lastly, this is a Bake-Off! So be sure to make this a baked good and focus on the dessert quality. If this particular dessert you choose is still considered a treat and doesn't require any real baking, that's fine! You can get creative!
