How does one close the portal?

Did you read the Cookbook on the table next to the "Cookster"? There's a hint in there.

More direct answer: Look for the cake.

As soon as I take the cake from the locked box, it turns into a loaf of bread in my inventory. Eating all the loaves of bread in my inventory has no effect.

That shouldn't happen. When you take the cake and eat it, the portal closes.

EDIT: Apparently it's a problem with the gamesys. Check the original post here for a fix.

Entry 3: this one :p

OK I was looking for other threads posted about the same time as this one. :p It's kinda odd to have contest entries released months apart but oh well.

Variety is the spice of life as they say. :)

I think there's some consensus that there won't be voting in the usual way (as per the discussion (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146929&p=2348640&viewfull=1#post2348640) here) as this was not a usual contest. I expect there'll be an announcement in the not too distant future.

Dear El Tafferino:

Your intent was to make us laugh and, speaking for myself, I certainly did.

Most notable moment: The Cookster.

Thank you for some truly - out there - fun at the end of a rough day. Hope to see more from you, and would love to see you create the "serious" as well.

PS: Although it may not seem relevant to this post, schadenfreude is the greatest word in German ever.
