See. Capture. Create. Post
Love Pastry initially challenged our fans to a, “Photo – A – Day” contest for the month of May on Instagram. We launched this because 1.) We love our fans and want to see how creative they are. And 2.) We are obsessed with Instagram. We wish we were joking. Have you checked it out? If you haven’t, you need too, because it has become the newest trend with our fans on Instagram!
We sat collectively in the LovePastry magical headquarters to devise the following rules for this contest.

“Everyday, a new theme would be announced, along with a designated hash tag. The winner from each day would get an amazing feature on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. At the end of the month, we would select a grand winner, and she would be awarded with an amazing prize.”
To date, we have had selected winners from the following themes:
Flowers.

Winner: Alissa Carsley, @smile_alissa98

Aren’t these images just stunning? The quality, dedication, talent and originality surpassed our expectations – and it is only the first week of the contest! Our favorite themes so far have been the sky, quotes and hair!

From viewing the vast assortment of creativity, to reading the love and appreciation our fans have for LovePastry, we want to take this time to say,
