Food Blog Forum and Something Brand New and Bright Blue

This post doesn’t involve baking from this weekend
but there’s something pretty sweet at the end I think you’ll like.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Okay, so I’ve been out of town for the last two weekends. First, Chicago for the Home and Housewares Show

IMG_9497

and last weekend somewhere a little bit warmer.

I was in sunny Florida for a weekend conference full of learning and sharing with friends – and a bunch of food and fun thrown in.

IMG_9522

Food Blog Forum Orlando. Put on by Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen, Todd & Diane of White On Rice Couple, Julie Deily of The Little Kitchen and Dawn Viola.

And sponsored by Disney, Kitchenaid, OXO, Land O’ Lakes, Whole Foods, Le Creuset and more.

The meeting was held at Walt Disney World and it was amazing. So well done. Julie from the Little Kitchen knows how to put together a great event. I was there with a bunch of great speakers. (See the whole group here) Alison Lewis (Ingredients, Inc.) and I spoke at round table discussions on writing a cookbook. I really enjoyed the round table set up because we were able to talk one-on-one with people and that’s much more my speed. I don’t think I’d be very good at getting up in front of a big room of people and talking. There would be a lot of umms and likes and pauses I’m sure.

On the evening before the meeting, we had a beautiful outdoor reception at the Grand Floridian. My sweet friend Jenny (Picky Palate) and I met some great girls. Nikki (Pennies on a Platter), Krissy (Krissy’s Creations), Julie (Table for Two) and Rachel (The Fabulous Foodie). Hi girls. Thanks for making Magic Kingdom such a blast!

We hit up a few rides and went on a search for Dole Whip and churros before the park closed. It was my first time trying either. So yum! Thanks for sharing these phone pics girls.

We spent all day Saturday at Epcot where the meeting was held.

It was definitely a special place to have a meeting. Not only were there great speakers, yummy treats, amazing prizes, like stand mixers and refrigerators, Le creusets and more but when we were done, we had a huge world to explore.

IMG_9445

If only I could have seen it all. I’ve never been to Epcot. I had no idea how ginormous this park was. Actually, I still don’t know how big it is. But that’s okay because what I did see was perfect.

We had an incredible lunch extravaganza prepared by Disney chefs from the parks and hotels.

I focused on dessert of course.

Lunch gave us all more time to talk.

Here’s Lauren’s Latest, Julie, Krissy and Jenny.

And I finally finally met Elise from Simply Recipes. Yay! Hope we can chat more next time.

Alison and Jenny. Love you guys.

And sweet, sweet Julie. Again, great job on pulling this event together.

On Sunday we had a brunch hosted by Whole Foods. Incredible food means the cameras come out.

IMG_9649

See what I mean. That’s Dawn in the back, Julie and Jenny, and then Lindsey (Love and Olive Oil) in the front.

This might be one of my favorite pics from the weekend. It just makes me giggle at how we all do the same thing as bloggers. It’s almost uncontrollable when you have a camera in your hand.

But in our defense, the flowers were pretty cheery.

I enjoyed this weekend so much.

Hi Emily (Sage Recipes) and Kiran (Kirantarun)! It was nice meeting you both. Hope to see you again. And you too Droolius and Simply Southern Baking.

Thanks for a weekend of great memories with old friends and new!

So now the fun part.

I’m having an amazing giveaway today.

If you read last week’s post, you may remember some of the new products I talked about from the Home and Housewares Show in Chicago. One of them was this Kitchenaid mixer in Crystal Blue, the brand new color from the Catalina Collection that I fell in love with.

catalina-collection

Well, I met some of the folks from Kitchenaid in Chicago for the first time and and then coincidentally, we met again in Orlando the very next weekend as they were one of the sponsors of Food Blog Forum. It was a surprise to see them two weeks in a row. We talked about how much I loved the brand new color they debuted in Chicago and we thought it would be a fun giveaway here on bakerella.com.

Reading all of your sweet choices are driving me crazy. I have cravings now for way too many treats.

  1. I think I’d have to go with vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate syrup drizzled on top.

  2. Chocolate Chocolate Chip ice cream! YUM!

  3. It would definitely have to be a fudge chocolate chip cupcake with a marshmallow frosting topped with ganache.

  4. Mom’s sugar cookies with soft butter cream frosting

  5. Love most desserts so it is really hard to pick one. Maybe pie ~ I especially love my Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Cream and Coconut Cream!! Mmmmmmmm! : )

  6. Uh oh – that’s hard – it’s definitely cake… either the Chocolate stampede cake from our favorite restaurant!
    —or our family version of red velvet – Waldorf Astoria red with creamy fluff frosting !

  7. That’s a tough one… I think I’d go with my applesauce cupcakes. Not too sweet, moist, and a little bit spicy. I think it would take me a while to get tired of them.

  8. Oh no question. Chocolate cupcake with milk chocolate frosting and sprinkles. I love so many other fun flavors but chocolate is something I couldn’t live without.

  9. I would honestly have to choose Barbara’s Bakery Fig Bars. Love. With a cup of green tea!

  10. This is a hard question, because I love sweets so much! At first I thought it would be red velvet cupcakes with the lovely cream cheese frosting, but then if that is all I’m eating… I’d be sick by the end of the day. So, I will have to go with brownies… No nuts, and not fully baked. Yum!

  11. red velvet cupcakes :)

  12. I would make macarons EVERY SINGLE DAY with a different filling and flavor for each day of the week in MY FAVORITE COLOR, FAVORITE APPLIANCE in the whole wide world :))

  13. My absolute all-time dessert would be a fresh fruit galette – pie crust filled with lightly sweetened cream cheese and topped with peaches, blueberries and raspberries. Served warm. I adore chocolate, but I could eat this rustic “pie” everyday!
    FYI, this crystal blue KitchenAid mixer would match the colors I am planning for my bakery. I hope to open this year!

  14. Some sort of chocolate ice cream for sure.

  15. Cheesecake…definitely cheesecake. My favorite to make and eat is Pumpkin/Chocolate cheesecake with chocolate crust and chocolate ganache on top.

  16. If anything I think it’d be snickerdoodles. They are the best cookiesw

  17. Dark chocolate cake with Raspberry filling and topped with fresh raspberries!! EVERY DAY.

  18. Creme brûlée! No, chocolate cheesecake! Wait, creme brûlée! :)

  19. I would eat chocolate chip cookies. :)

  20. My moms cherry pie with a ton of cool whip. Delicious. Love it. I could eat it everyday. Maybe I say that because I only get it once or twice a year.

  21. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie….MMMMMM.

  22. I love dessert so much that it’s hard to pick just one…I think a good chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream would be my pick though!

    Love the color of the mixer, thanks for the giveaway chance!

  23. Today is my birthday!!! I love this blog, it’s such a nice gift to wake up to this opportunity. If I could eat a dessert for the rest of my life it would proubably be something with chocolate, ganache or strawberry. Like strawberry cheesecake or chocolate mouse pie with strawberries. I wonder if you, bakerella can make a strawberry cholocate covered chocolate filled mouse pie ball or a cheesecakeball filled with strawberries. If so I would proubably eat it as a dessert for the rest of my life. As for now I’ll stick to a classic strawberry cheesecake.

    Thank you Bakerella! :)

  24. I would have to eat just chocolate cake made by a local baker here in town. it is divine and always is a big hit!

  25. My one and only dessert would have to be brownies. Yummy!!!!

  26. Warm white chocolate bread pudding with milk/dark chocolate shavings and fresh strawberries! OMG, Yummy!

  27. Salted caramel macarons. They’re rich, sweet, savory, and perfect.

  28. Ice Cream…..and if I could only have one flavor forever, it would be vanilla. Boring, I know!

  29. Awesome giveaway! I soooo wanna win this! Only one dessert? Kinda harsh thought, dontcha think? lol My choice would be homemade cinnamon rolls with extra cinnamon. And extra frosting. And my lower half would suffer.

  30. If I had to choose one it would probably be Irish car bomb cupcakes .With guinness-chocolate cake base , whiskey ganache filling and baileys frosting:)

  31. redvelvet cake!

  32. Anything with pastry cream in it. Actually, I could just eat the pastry cream plain! Yum!

  33. I know it sounds boring but I would eat vanilla bean cupcakes with buttercream frosting. I seriously can’t get enough of those!

  34. Strawberry Shortcake! Of course it’s strawberry season here so that’s probably influencing my choice… but it’s so delicious!

  35. My absolute favorite – Sugar cookies (with frosting of course).

  36. That will be a Peruvian dessert called Suspiro de Limeña, it is so delicious! look for the recipe and picture here
    http://www.artperucuisine.com

  37. Tough question. I love anything chocolate… so I love chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge, brownies, and other stuff like chocolate chips in it!

  38. hey! wow food and Disney what a great combination!, well I’m big fan of sweet and salty desserts, so I’m gonna say I’ll stick with Salted Chocolate Caramel Tart… has the best of both worlds :D

  39. I could eat chocolate chip bars everyday!!! They resemble a cookie, a cake and a brownie all in one.. With a crispy, yet chewy and cakelike texture, they are the most amazing snack ever!

  40. This isn’t going to be fancy, but I cannot resist any kind of ice cream with a vanilla base. Growing up my uncle owned an ice cream factory, and I lived for a visit to his business. Just think–walking into a gigantic freezer filled with ice cream and being able to choose anything. I happily blame my uncle for my addiction.

  41. Frozen yogurt with strawberries & pineapple…. I could eat it for a dessert or breakfast or lunch…. or a snack… anytime really. Yum..

  42. I have a terrible sweet tooth but if I had to narrow it down to one I’d have to go with a brownie sundae. Made with my homemade brownies, vanilla ice cream, tons of hot fudge, chocolate sprinkles, whipped cream and of course, the cherry on top!
    Thanks for the chance to win a kitchenaid!

  43. I am so torn, but I would have to pick homemade chocolate cake with homemade buttercream frosting. The cake would be so moist that it would melt in your mouth with each bite. The frosting would be smooth as silk.

  44. A very fudgy brownie… studded with chocolate chips :)

  45. Creme brulee! I love it! Especially with the crusty sugary top!

  46. I don’t think I would ever get tired of eating chocolate sheet cake.

  47. Ohhhhhhh boy. I was thinking like cheesecake or creme brulee, but I actually think if I had to choose one I would go berries and whipped cream. Hard to get sick of that! NEED a kitchenaid mixer :)

  48. Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby. It’s amazing all the time!

  49. red velvet cupcakes!

  50. I had a dream about these mixers from your post about the food show! And here is my chance to pick one! Fingers crossed! I could do major damage with this bad boy! ;~}

  51. I think I would have to go with white cake with lots and lots of buttercream frosting. I’m a huge cake fan, and as much as I love other desserts, cake is definitely my favorite!

  52. If I had to pick one it would have to be tiramisu, for sure ;)

  53. I like chocolate truffles!

  54. Hmmm, plain old Vanilla ice cream – now, I could NEVER get sick of that!

  55. I’m between my mom’s sugar cookies with royal icing (love how it ust melts in your mouth!) or black and white cupcakes. you know the kind…chocolate cupcake filled with a sweet cream cheese mixture and topped with buttercream frosting and chocolate chips. mmm makes me drool just thinking about it :)

  56. Choc. Chip Cheesecake with Hot Fudge!!

  57. This is easy to answer: CHOCOLATE!!! I think I will never be able to quit chocolate!! … so my dessert would be Chocolate Cake. The ones that you bite and the chocolate melts inside… mmmmm!!!! I think I am going to look for one of those right now!!! … I am wishing for this Kitchenaid mixer for so long! and my favorite color is blue!!! so It would be just amazing!!!!

  58. My grandmothers teegatoes with royal icing!

  59. Mine would have to be homemade pistachio ice cream! Its so light and yummy can’t get enough.

    Oh I hope I win! I have wanted a mixer for years and years !!

  60. I could happily eat ice cream every day for breakfast lunch and dinner but if I could pick one dessert to eat everyday it would be Rockcakes. A scone like cookie that I make with raisins or chocolate chips or craisons or any combo of mix ins. I hope I win that mixer!

  61. I think if I could only have one dessert for The rest of my life it would have to be mint chip ice cream, but good mint chip, not the kind that the chocolate tastes waxy.

  62. CHOCOLATE, plain and simple!

  63. Easy! GRASSHOPPER BROWNIES!!! The mint/chocolate combination I would trade anything for! (Can I have it with some ice cream on top though? ;)

  64. That is almost an impossible question to answer. I could get by with a just warm, very buttery chocolate brownie though-probably wouldn’t complain.

  65. Creme Brulee! I love love love classic Creme Brulee :)

  66. My favourite sweet is the lemmon pie, a pie with lemmon curd and a soft vanilla flavored meringe. It’s a simple,fresh and delicious recipe. I can have it as a dessert, for breakfast or in the afternoon with a good coffee.
    I love your blog and hope i can win this new giveaway.

  67. I would say my favorite of all time is a chocolate chip cookie. I seem to gravitate towards that no matter what. I am a chocolate chip cookie snob. Trust me it’s tough trying to find a delicious chocolate chip cookie.

  69. Key lime pie or raspberry Ice cream :)

  78. It would be my sugar free banana cream pie with loadsof bananas and whipped cream and a fabulous cup of dark roast coffee!:)

  84. Dutch chocolate ice cream with peanut butter mixed in. I can never get enough!

  87. dark chocolate brownies!

  88. My all time favorite dessert is Creme Brûlée. Whenever we go out to eat I have to have it if it’s on the menu…only because not many restaurants around here have it :-(

    Thanks for the giveaway chance :-)

  89. I would eat chocolate eclair – the kitschy 1950’s kind, layers of graham crackers, vanilla pudding/cool whip, and chocolate icing in a casserole dish. I have it instead of cake for my birthday every year :)

  90. Key lime pie!!!!

  91. Kuih Makmur! A traditional Malay biscuit, usually intricately pinched with pincers in the shape of a leaf. It’s filled with nuts and melts in your mouth. Usually made and served during Hari Raya, a festive celebration. Try googling it! :D

I use raspberry preserves between the layers and have been known to eat it for breakfast with cottage cheese and a cup of coffee with lots of milk – seriously delicious!!

  149. Who knew it could be this hard to choose just ONE!!! It’s a choice between German Chocolate Cake and Turtle Brownies….is there such a thing as a German Chocolate Turtle Brownies???? Served with coffee, no cream. Have to save calories somewhere, right?!?

  150. It would have to be red velvet cheesecake!

  151. I love eclairs. I even have the experience of making them. I was a teenager when I did and I remember making 3-4 batches along with the cream for the inside for the people that my mom worked with. I loved to make them and love to eat them.

  157. I’m going to have to go with the peanut butter cookies with the hershey’s kiss stuck into the middle….those things are good any time, any place!!!

  158. I could be happy the rest of my life if the only dessert I could eat was my Mom’s Sour Cream Apple Pie.

Thank you for the opportunity. :)

  159. Only one – yikes!

    It would have to be New York Style cheesecake with fresh fruit. Perfection!

  160. I would say a chocolate cake with a cheesecake layer and a chocolate moouse somewhere on it!

  161. This is a tough choice, but I’d have to go with Creme Brulee. It’s my absolute favorite! I’ve never met a creme brulee I didn’t like :)

  162. If I had to narrow down to only one dessert, I think I would have to go with cheesecake covered with strawberries. Although I love it so much, it would be a heartbreak to give up everything else!

  163. Chocolate covered pretzels — salty with sweet!!

  164. Love the bright blue color! We just moved into our house and I’m looking for ways to brighten up my kitchen – this is perfect!

    What a tough question dessert wise – usually for my birthday I request ice cream cake because I love the crunchy center (only from Dairy Queen), but if I had to choose one dessert, I would go back to my childhood – my parents used to make me dirt cake for my birthday – complete in a pot, with flowers, and gummy worms. It was a delicious combination of chocolate pudding, cool whip and oreo cookies…so good!

  165. Blackforest cake. Just love the moist and deep dark chocolate taste.

  166. I’d go with red velvet cupcakes with a vanilla buttercream frosting. Simple but they are AMAZING! That blue is my favorite color, it’d be awesome to win!

  167. A warm chewy chocolatey brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. Yum-my!

  168. Lemon poundcake with fresh lemon and sugar syrup poured over as soon as it comes out of the oven. I love anything lemon! Sam’s used to make these wonderful Lemon Bites. THEY were addictive but they don’t male them anymore :(.. But that’s ok. Make my own lemon cake and just the other night I topped it off with fresh stawberries. So delish!!

  169. Chocolate Chip Cookie all the way. the absolute perfect dessert.

  170. Irish car bomb cupcakes! Guinness chocolate cupcake with whiskey ganache filling and baileys irish cream icing.

  171. Chocolate – just pure milk chocolate, any kind!

  172. snickerdoodles! they are the perfect combo of sweet with a hint of spice from the cinnamon all in a buttery, soft cookie. btw, i finally wore out my trusty kitchenaid of 11 years, a new one to replace it would be fantastic.

  173. Maybe right now my favorite dessert would be double-chocolate cheesecake(whitechocolate&milkchocolate), just amazing<3 Or maybe triple.. I just haven't tasted it as triple yet. But like sweetie I would eat just lot of Marabou's milkcreme filled easter chocolate eggs, omnomnomn… Because I just adore chocolate, it's my love!

  174. Hands down, no-bake-cookies or eskimo cookies. The rich cocoa mixed with creamy peanut butter and steal cut oats right out of the freezer is heaven. Chocolatey, peanut buttery heaven.

  175. Cheesecake-it’s what a very good friend of mine calls “Heaven in a Box”, or at least that’s what she calls my cheesecake! you can dress it up or dress it down!

  176. If I could eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would absolutely be oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate chip cookies. Couldn’t decide which to make some I combined them all. Yum!

  177. If I could eat only one dessert, it would be tiramisu. I love the stuff, and it’s a bit sentimental with me and my fiance. We had some on our first date, and he incorporated the restaurant/dessert on my “proposal scavenger hunt”. and more than anything…. its just simply scrumptious!

  178. Strawberry rhubarb pie! Warm with vanilla ice cream…

  179. Chocolate Chip Cookies… the perfect dessert!!!

  180. I love that shade of blue! It would go great in my kitchen :)

    If I had to pick 1 sweet for the rest of my life….it would be chocolate chip brownies, without nuts. (the King Arthur Flour recipe with chocolate chips/chunks thrown in the batter) when eaten warm and slightly underbaked…mmm. I now want to leave work and go bake!

  181. NY Chocolate Chip Cookies? The BAKED Brownie? Nanaimo bars? Butter tarts?
    There are so many amazing desserts to pick just one!

    However, if I had too, it would certainly be good old chocolate ice cream. Chocolate Breyers Double Churn or Kawartha Dairys Death By Chocolate is my preference!!!

    Good luck to all entrants :)

  182. I would have to say that chocolate mousse would be the sweet that I would eat FOREVER! Love that stuff! It’s light and fluffy and just so darn good!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  183. My one dessert would have to be angel food cake with seven minute frosting. It was my birthday cake as a kid, and it always makes me happy. And because angel food cake is reasonably fussy to make from scratch, I only got to eat it on that one occasion as a kid, and I rarely have time to make it now. So, it’s a special dessert for me.

  184. I make cupcakes and so it would have to be the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcake. A fresh vanilla cupcake infused with mini
    choc chips & cookie dough, with a homemade cookie dough frosting topped with a fresh mini baked cookie! Scrumptios!!! Alot of work but Sooo worth it!!!!

  185. Danish layer cake… Yellow cake, French vanilla pudding, yellow cake, raspberry jam, yellow cake, French vanilla pudding, yellow cake… Covered in cool whip!
    Phenomenal!

  186. If I only had one dessert to eat for the rest of my life I would choose a simple rice crispy treat. I am amazed at how much I enjoy them each time I have one. ;-)

  187. Disney is my favorite place in the whole world! If i had to choose, I think I would pick snickers cupcakes – chocolate cupcakes with snickers baked inside with caramel buttercream. YUM!

  188. Chocolate chip cookies! :)

  189. I would probably have to go with just plain cheesecake. I love all kinds of crazy desserts, but there’s something about sitting down to a nice slice of cheesecake!

  190. Chocolate chip cookies!

  191. I would have to go with Lake Champlain Hazelnut Milk Chocolates! Yummm

  192. I would have to pick an Oreo cheesecake! With a great chocolate ganche and oreos! Sounds so yummy! :)

  193. OH… Pick ME!!!!!!!

  194. I would eat the Baltimore Bomb pie from Dangerously Delicious pies. If you’ve never been to the Baltimore/DC area, the pie is this amazing chess pie with Berger cookies (a Baltimore specialty) melted into it. Soooo yummy when its warm and the ganache from the cookies is all melted.

  195. I can’t imagine choosing only one, but if I had to I’d go with chocolate cake!

  196. Chocolate saltine toffee…a.k.a., crack. I can’t get enough. =)

  197. Wow, I don’t think I have just one but my new kick is skillet chocolate chip cookies with a huge helping of vanilla icecream.
    Serving dessert in a small cast iron skillet is my new thing right now. Yum!

  198. One dessert for the rest of my life? I’d have to say that would be cream puffs. The kind my mother used to make – filled with pastry cream and covered with shiny chocolate ganache. So, so delicious!

  199. My mum’s chocolate mousse cake……chocolate cake on the bottom, chocolate mousse on top, covered in ganache….. Heaven on a spoon!

  200. I think my dessert would be ice cream. I wouldn’t be too picky about what kind or how it’s served as long as it didn’t have fruit in it. But if I had to choose? Probably a hot fudge sundae with real whipped cream and toasted almonds!
