As part of Food Feb - a month-long celebration of food on Mumsnet - we want you to show us the cakes you've made and decorated for your family. It could be a first birthday special, or a wedding cake for your sibling - whatever it is, we'd like to see it.

The three best cakes submitted will each win a copy of Delia Smith's new book, Delia's Cakes. Even better, we'll have the cooking goddess herself coming in for a webchat on 28 February, when she'll announce the three winners and personally sign a copy of her new book for them.

What we'd really love is that when you post your picture you include any tips on how you made it and give specifics on decorating styles, tools or tricks that you used, so that others can emulate your cake-decorating prowess.

To enter, simply upload your image as a post on this thread, using the image upload tool. See our image-uploading tips in the topic note above.

We'll shortly be showcasing this comp on our Facebook page too. (We'll post up the link when it's live.) Winners will be chosen from all the cake pics uploaded to this Talk thread and to Facebook.

The competition closes on 20 February, at which point we'll convene an MNHQ panel to judge the entries and decide on three winners. For additional terms and conditions go to our T&Cs page

If you're one of them, we'll contact you on Wednesday 27 February to ask whether you'd like Delia to inscribe the book with your Mumsnet or RL name.

@MikeLitoris

I'll post one soon but can I just point out the OP says you will be contacted on 27th January Grin

Now, which cake do I post? Confused

Doh! All the cakey excitement had gone to our heads! Thanks Mike, we've changed it now!

Just wanted to pop in and say WOW. Can't believe how brilliant these cakes are. Keep 'em coming!

Hi MikeLitoris and Bottleoffish - I think, as we said family in our OP that we'll have to stick to cakes made for members of your family and not friends. Sorry!

CatherineHMumsnet · 05/02/2013 13:21

MikeLitoris - have done that for you.

And Happy Birthday Tee2072!!

Mummytowillow - when you add a message you'll see a box below with a button saying choose file - use that to find your picture, add it to your message and then post the whole thing.

Hi - the competition is now closed and we'll be posting up details of the three winners tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who entered - we're slightly staggered at how brilliant all these cakes are!

The MNHQ jury has ruminated, not to mention cogitated and has finally agreed on our three cake decorating winners. We'll be PM-ing them all today in advance of Delia making the official announcement when she's in for her webchat tomorrow lunchtime.

I have to say the standard was unbelievably high. We're all quite staggered by your brilliance and inventiveness. What lucky families you all have!

Want to know who the winners are? Delia's just announced it over on her webchat thread.
