[hackerspaces] Global Hackerspace Cupcake Challenge

[P]

To clarify, the rules included having the cupcake made during the hackathon.  For those who send new cupcakes there will be a 10pt deduction.  We look forward to seeing your entry and thanks for being a great recipient and judge of the cupcakes.
