Ah, Pancake Day. When a simple mix of flour, eggs, and milk meet an incredibly hot frying pan to make a breakfast treat so delightful that it gets its own annual event.
We love pancakes. But as providers of Internet services and not pancakes, we’ve always wondered what digital pancakes might look like. We challenged our staff with this idea, and the following piece of HTML, CSS, and JS was born:

Thanks to Ryan for putting this code together for us, and to CodePen.io for hosting it!
Now make us some pancakes!
We’d like to extend this challenge to you. Just:
- Code up some digital pancakes using HTML, CSS, and JS
- Upload it to CodePen.io
- Tweet @HeartInternet a link to your pancakes!
We’re looking for absolutely anything pancake related – so go crazy!
And what could you win?
1 winner will win a Raspberry Pi 2.0! This little computer can be used for a million different purposes – even a 3D pancake printing machine!
5 runners up will win a Heart-shaped Frying Pan! Serve pancakes with love for years to come with your own heart frying pan!
Tweet your entries to @HeartInternet before the competition closes at 12:00pm on Friday, 12th February. The competition is open now to UK residents aged 18 and over, and the full terms and conditions can be found below.

I can just about write with a pen let alone codepen. It sounds like something from a James Bond Movie.
Now what would be cool is HI have an open day for it’s resellers so we can see what it’s all about at the main hub
Many Thanks
Davide
Hi Davide!
CodePen is really just a site that lets you preview your code on the fly. Try it out, it’s pretty fun!
I love the idea of a resellers open day and I’d love to meet you all. I’ll have some chats internally and see if that’s something we can do later in the year.

When will the winners be announced? Will there be a display of the posts that were done?
Hi Rosey,
We’ll be announcing the winners towards the end of the week. And we’ll have a display of all the great pancakes we’ve received.
Hope we’re seeing the results today 🙂
Hi Matt,
Unfortunately, we’ve been so busy with the downtime that we haven’t been able to give the entries the time they deserve to be properly judged.
We should have the results next week. Thanks for being patient!
