The concept is simple. Do a Shameless Plug to promote printing.com and you win! The more shameless and creative you are the better! If you win or rather, when I win ;-), I get to have £1000 worth of their products! So here’s what I’ve come up with:

Cakes & Cookies– I baked a whole cake and a whole batch of cookies with the printing.com logo only to findout I will need to use the “I ♥ printing.com” logo. Eeeks! All the work and I can’t even use it!? Tsk, tsk!

Fine! This is just a setback. So I planned better and this is what I came up with:

Cookies – baked another batch and this time I used the correct logo. The logo is edible so you can eat this as well.

Cookie lollies – another version of my cookies

Cupcakes – Faces shouting they love printing.com. This is one of my favourite concept, edible (and yummy) cupcake faces “shouting” they love printing.com

Mini-cupcakes in a flower pot – This is a bit symbolic. Seedlings = shameless plug. The people participating in this contest are the gardeners. The more we do shameless plugs, the more promotion for printing.com! More promotion means the business grows = seedling growing. Yes I know, it is a bit too deep! I 

Yes, I’ve been busy. In case you still don’t know what my business is…yes, I bake stuff! I am a one woman business who bakes from home for a living. I cannot afford to buy printing materials to promote my business. I do not have a shop, or staff. This is the reason why I am entering this contest. Yes I am desperate! This is why I am allowed to be shameless! You may think I am doing a bit of a sob story here but I am not, but if this “sob story” helps me win this thing (aside from my creative sweet treats in promoting printing.com), why not right? 

I’ve given all the cookies, cupcakes to colleagues, neighbours and friends so this is an additional plug for you guys! :-)

Now I’m crossing my fingers and wait for the results.
