“You must have tea and cake with the vicar, or you die.”
—Eddie Izzard

So what will it be?  Tea and cake or death ARCs?  (Keep reading... there are other prizes if you already have an Advance Review Copy!)

Everyone knows I love cake... and cupcakes... ok fine, dessert in general. With ice cream on top.  And the fairies from EYES LIKE STARS share my passion.

So it's time to have a little contest, CakeWrecks style:

One contest entry: Tell us (in 100 words or less) how Peaseblossom, Moth, Cobweb, and Mustardseed wrecked your cake, and yes, this theme is open to interpretation.

Four contest entries if you bake a cake and wreck it fairy-style, sending in a picture as evidence of their carnage.  This can be done in conjunction with the story entry, for a total of five entries.

Ten contest entries if you bake a cake and wreck it fairy-style ON VIDEO (as close to one minute as you can get) then upload said video on YouTube and send us the link.

Bonus contest entry: For reposting about this contest on your blog or journal

How to Enter:

Send your short stories, your pictures (as links or attachments,) your videos (YouTube links only, please) and your links to the reposted contest information to contest+2@theatre-illuminata.com with the subject header "FAIRY CAKE-WRECKING CONTEST"

One of these silver fairy charms:

Candy (not necessarily THIS candy, although Pixie Stix are certainly thematically-appropriate!)

And FIVE theater-themed BPAL Imps Ears, one each of:

Fae - A brilliant, ethereal scent: white musk, bergamot, heliotrope, peach and oakmoss.
Jolly Roger - Sea spray with an undercurrent of leather, Bay Rum, and salty, dry woods.
Tempest - A crisp ozone-tinged breeze. The scent of the first gentle rain before the storm. 
Ophelia - Wistful and vulnerable: lotus, water blossom ivy, stargazer lily and white rose.
Belle Epoque  - Sweet opium, Lily of the Valley, vanilla, mandarin and red sandalwood. 

Now get to writin', bakin', an' wreckin'!
