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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Want to brighten up your kitchen and be one of the first people to own a mixer in this brand new, bright blue color courtesy of Kitchenaid? I know I would. It’s such a happy color. And much more vibrant in person.
Enter for a chance to win this Crystal Blue 5-quart Artisan Stand Mixer from Kitchenaid!
- Just leave a comment on this post here on the website and answer the following question.
- If you could only eat one kind of sweet/dessert for the rest of your life, what would choose? And not just cookie or cupcake, etc. – but what kind if you can? I’m very curious.
- Deadline to enter is Wednesday, March 28th at 5 pm ET.
SORRY, TIME’S UP! Winner Announced Below.
- One winner will be chosen at random and announced sometime Wednesday evening.
GOOD LUCK GUYS!
oh and FYI – the Crystal Blue color should be available for purchase starting sometime in April.
Reading all of your sweet choices are driving me crazy. I have cravings now for way too many treats.
I don’t know if I could pick just one either. But warm brownies and ice cream are always a safe bet for me. No nuts. No whipped cream. No syrup. Plain and simple chocolate and vanilla. Warm and cold deliciousness.
Okay, ready for the winner?
It’s comment #6224 – Leann
Congratulations and enjoy your bright blue baby. Hope you make lots of amazing desserts and smile every time you look at it.
And big thanks to Kitchenaid for supplying the mixer in this beautiful blue.
I would love to eat strawberry cupcakes with a lemon cream cheese frosting…soooo super yummy!
I think I would choose a good-old chocolate chip cookie….that may be boring but it’s a classic. :-)
Just one dessert forever… it would have to be either super fudgy brownies or the dark chocolate PB comfort cookies that you posted back in November, they are to die for!
Brownies, definitely. Simple, gooey, chocolatey brownies.
double chocolate fudge brownies!! oh joy! my mouth is salivating and my tummy has butterflies just thinking about them!!
A pear tart with dark chocolate ganache and a big spoonful of whipped cream.
I’m mildly embarrassed by this, but I could probably eat funfetti cupcakes with the matching vanilla icing for the rest of my life!
It would have to be German Chocolate Cake. My very favorite that my grandmother always made. It would always remind me of her and it includes all my very favorites.
Honeybuns,they are the best!
Cheesecake – for sure.
Just one??? Really??? Doesn’t that seem a little unfair….. well, if you insist…. Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. Yeap, that would be my choice.
cookies…because there are so many kinds that i couldn’t get bored. if you made me pick just one cookie, then i would have to go with chocolate chip. it goes with any occasion and it’s good any time of the day.
I’m going to say white wedding cake (w/a hint of almond) with raspberry filling & butter cream icing. YUMM!!!
If I could only make one dessert that would have to be angel food cake with whip cream frosting. This has been my favorite since I was a child and had to have it for my birthday cake.
wow only 1 dessert. Then I would have to go with strawberry shortcake, with fresh strawberries or this amazing strawberry
vegan cupcake I had in Boston at the Vegetarian fest. Both are to die for.
Without a doubt chocolate mousse anything!
I would have to say peanut butter cookies.
probably a warm chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream and one scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, surrounded by mixed berries. does that count as one dessert or three?
This may b a duplicate. I don’t see my entry. No matter how many fancy desserts I make my favorite will always be a white cake with Hershey’s chocolate icing.
So it’s really boring but I would have my mom’s sugar cookies with almond flavor glaze….they aren’t ridiculously pretty or anything but they are just the right softness…and just the right sweet!
That is beautiful! I would eat a great chocolate chip cookie! Thanks for the chance to win!
dark chocolate – sraight up and anything from semi sweet to 80%
Coffee ice cream with chocolate chips
I’ve dreamed of having a Kitchen Aid stand mixer ever since I started baking. This question is a little difficult to respond to; however, I think I have my answer. If I could only have one type of dessert for the rest of my life, it would have to be Baklava. The reason is because it is a fun, simple, user-friendly dessert. It can be soft and gooey with honey and cinnamon. It can be nutty and crispy with pistachios or other nuts. It can even be tangy when made with lemons. My favorite way is always with honey, cinnamon, and pistachios.
Your blog and book has inspired me in so many ways. I’m no longer afraid of baking and cooking. Thank you so much!
I’d eat creme brulee every day, because it’s totally delicious yet light enough to eat even after a heavy meal.
My mom’s recipe chocolate chip cookies but with my twist of added butterscotch chips. Love the combo of chocolate and butterscotch.
Runner-up would be angel food cake with fresh strawberries and real whipping cream.
Yum. I’m hungry.
Brownie Sundae with the works!
Nestle Chocolate Chip Cookies – without nuts!
I’m glad that I don’t actually have to choose one though – there are way too many yummy desserts!
I think if I had to choose it would be cheesecake! It is so good. I love most any kinds, but white chocolate raspberry is my favorite!
Only one dessert? What kind of cruelly is that? Well, if I had to choose it would be a chocolate creme brule with a touch of cinnamon whipped cream and a sliced strawberry on top. My fave!
I think it would have to be dense chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. Perfection.
Oatmeal cookies.
Ooo! A brownie with a scoop of chocolate ice cream on top!
Umm just one? It would have to the Tiramisu that I tried in Venice in one of the local restaurants. I still cant forget the taste that it’s left in my mouth after all these years !! That was some dessert! :)
I’m in desperate need of the mixer for my new found love of baking! :O)))
I would have to go with Tiramisu. I love to make this extra special by making my own ladyfingers.
Coffee flavored ice cream is my favorite!
How am I supposed to pick just one!? I guess I’ll go with white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. But I would always be thinking about the chocolate chip cookies and warm fudgey brownies that I was missing out on!
My favorite sweet to eat would be tiramisu in any shape or form. I love it original, as cupcakes, and as pancakes. I love the flavors it combines. I would love to win this mixer! I don’t have a kitchenaid, and it would make my baking life so much more fun if I did.
My most favorite dessert in the whole wide world is plain cheesecake with chocolate sauce drizzled over it! I know that’s a little boring, but it’s oh so good!!!
This is so hard! I would go with Creme Brulee from Bijou. Best thing ever.
I love the new blue mixer! And I would have to say a vanilla vanilla cupcake would top my list!!
Have to go with Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food!
Almond Poppy Seed Bread. Sooo delish!
If I had to eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would be my malibu rum pineapple coconut cake, glazed with butterrum sauce and cream cheese glaze…. Yummy. Love your blogs! Thanks for the chance to win a kitchenaid.
If I could only have one dessert, it would have to be chocolate chip cookies with nuts…..simple but nothing better! I hope I win. I’m 61 years old and have never had a KitchenAid mixer. It’s about time! Love, love, love the blue!
I would sooo love to win! It’s been my dream for 10 years to own a Kitchen-Aid Stand Mixer!!!
If I could eat one dessert for the rest of my life, it would be red velvet…in cake, cupcake, truffle or cookie form.
Since I’m a dark chocolate addict, I’d have to say Toll House chocolate chip cookies with toasted pecans.
Just the thought of their smell makes me want one right now!
Tres leches cake!! So yummy and moist!!! Yep I could eat that forever.
It would have to be raspberry cheesecake!
Lemon bars for sure, but they have to be from scratch, slightly tart, and on a shortbread crust. Mmm!!
Chocolate chip cookies, hot out of the oven!
Chocolate chip cookie cake. The nice and soft kind, covered with icing!
I would have cherry chip cupcakes with mom’s homemade frosting!!!! She makes them every year for my bday!
some kind of berry pie or tart. chocolate is always good but i think berries always win for me :)
What would it be, only one kind of sweet from this day forward – white almond cupcake with almond buttercream. Some of my happiest times have been been at weddings, bridal and baby showers and until recently you could always count on a white almond cake with almond buttercream! Now I do love all the the other sweets by you said I could only pick one, right?
So easy! White cake with Hershsy’s chocolate icing. No matter how many fancy icings I make, that is my favorite.
I would eat yellow cupcakes with chocolate icing. I dont know if “yellow” is a flavor or not? It’s my classic birthday treat from when i was little and it remains my very favorite!!!
Without a doubt, Amaretto Cheesecake with roasted almonds dipped in chocolate for the trim, YUMMY!!!!
OH, how I LOVE the new blue! I have never had a Kitchen Aid, and am drooling at the new color! As for the dessert of choice, it would have to be cheesecake! I make cheesecakes and my new favorite flavor is blueberry streusel. I could eat it everyday! (and have, for the last week!) :)
It would definitely be bread pudding…. M’m’mmm it’s just soo delicious! The warmth of it when it lands in my mouth, is just decadent.
One dessert….it would have to be one my late uncle used to make dont know the name but it had a pecan pastry crust a layer of ganache then a cream cheese layer then chocolate pudding layer then on top a whipped cream layer and to top it of a drizzle of cocolate mmm…i can taste it now.
If I could only have one sweet treat it would be plain vanilla ice cream, and nothing fancy either – no bean specks and unnaturally yellow is my true favorite!
If I could only have one dessert it would be our family favorite, Pumpkin Crunch Pie!! Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous Kitchenaid Mixer!!
Only one?? Chocolate?? Lemon??? Something simple like brownies? Nah….I think I would have to say Tiramisu. My all time favorite. Light, sweet, and delicious!
It would have to be my dark chocolate cake with Chocolate buttercream. Yummmm!!
If I had to pick only one dessert I’d go with lemon meringue pie, with butterscotch sauce to drizzle on top. Btw, LOVE the colour of the Kitchen Aid!
This is easy. I would choose passion fruit cheesecake. I can and have eaten this all by myself.
Tiramisu
Creme Brulee….no doubt about it…. :)
I would eat dark chocolate flourless cake- yum!
So hard to pick something!
I think I would go for a chocolate lava cake with really good vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce.
I LOVE that color! I’d have to go with plain cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust for my favorite dessert – it’s the most dangerous dessert to keep in the house for sure!
What a hard question! I love all sweets but if I had to choose it would be sugar cookies. They are simply so yummy!
The dessert I could eat every day for the rest of my life is dark chocolate! It could be little squares or baked into anything. The best thing it could be baked into is brownies with chunks and toasted walnuts. Yum!
Lemon meringue pie
It’s hard to decide, but I would have to say, gooey butter cake!
Without a doubt I would say “Crème brûlée”. Even if I am stuff, I still have to have a bite or two if a restaurant has it on the menu. Total weekness!!!
Mint chocolate chip ice cream. This desert girl cannot be without ice cream for long, even in the dead of winter!
Yellow cake with buttercream icing, with a bit of chocolate on the side.
Something either orangey or lemoney…Love both flavors! Cake, cookies, icing, you name it.
At the moment I would have to say Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey. It is just perfect.
If I had to pick just one – it would have to be French Silk Pie!!
I would have to go with carrot cake with a generous amount of cream cheese icing!
Easy! Ice cream is my favorite food! Breyers Vanilla Bean is one of my favorites…and ,of course, they’re creamy, dreamy chocolate! It pairs well with almost anything.
Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. It should be mandatory with each meal and we should have a National Holiday for it. Who doesn’t like chocolate cake?
Cheesecake!!! I could eat it everyday of the week. I love them all, plain, chocolate and caramel, apple, raspberry…and that is only some of my fav flavor combinations…I love it so much, I even made cheesecake Cakeballs!!
It would have to be something chocolate – well, anything chocolate to tell the truth!
I’d have M&M cookies. I LOVE me some M&M cookies!
Ooh, it would totally be my mother’s bananacake with hazelnuts!
Tastes like happiness, home and bananas, couldn´t be be better! Well, maybe if it was mixed together by a crystal blue kitchenaid! <3
I would have to say white chocolate cake in either cupcakes (regular or mini size) or regular cake form.
Cupcakes! I am not even a big cake fan but there is just something about cupcakes I love. I just made some banana cupcakes with a chocolate peanut butter frosting that I seriously can’t get enough of!
Yellow cake with a rich vanilla buttercream…extra buttercream at that. I love frosting.
Tough question! I love dessert and hop around so much, but I’m going to have to go with my current obsession…snickerdoodle cookies! Yum.
A really good chocolate chip cookies always hits the spot for me.
Flourless dark chocolate cake covered in rich chocolate ganache with a side of vanilla ice cream.
If I had to eat one thing dessert for the rest of my life it would probably be a dark chocolate raspberry cupcake with chocolate ganache and a tart raspberry filling. I would choose this becuase it is rich and decadent with hints of tartness from the raspberry. Yum!
Warm peanut butter & chocolate chip cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
For me, fudgy chocolately chewy brownies!!! Easpecially the corners, they are my fave! Too bad there are only 4 every time :)
I would have to eat French macarons all the time…..ones filled with nutella, because I love chocolate!
I love that color! If I could only eat one dessert the rest of my life it would have to be Pioneer woman’s petite vanilla skones.
It would definitely be my grandmother’s red velvet cake! Her matching cream cheese icing recipe is to die for.
If I only could choose 1 dessert then it would be Carrot Cake, which of course is great and has carrots in it so it must be healthy as well. A girl has to dream!!!
I had a tiramisu piece of cake from Ralphs once and I had never tasted anything like it. It was AMAZING! I have not seen it since and look for a piece everytime I go! Yum!
My mother’s Italian Cream Wedding Cake. A slice every day would still incorporate lots of protein (nuts), dairy, and other necessary essentials. :)
If I had to choose one dessert for the rest of my life, it would definitely be my great-grandmother’s homemade chocolate cake with her marvelous chocolate buttercream frosting. It’s to die for! I believe some of her ingredients included pudding and semi-sweet chocolate chips. So yummy! :-)
Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream!
Red velvet cake!!!
The one dessert that I could eat for the rest of my life would have to be Red Velvet Cake!! :) But only the red velvet cake from The Kast Net in Woodville, FL!
If I could only eat one kind of sweet/dessert for the rest of my life I would choose my Mom’s Apricot Nectar Cake, with plenty of drizzled icing. It is so delicious!
Definitely New York Style Cheesecake. No embellishment, just thick, creamy, cheesy goodness! Love the KitchenAid colors – I’ve been asking for one for many gift giving holidays. What a treat this would be!
How can you only choose one??? I’m torn between chocolate cheesecake, brownies, or caramel chocolate crunch gelato. Drool.
Cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting!
Chocolate bumpy cake
It would have to be a Hershey chocolate bar. That would make me happy!!
If I could eat only one dessert for the rest of my life it would be cheesecake. That way I could make it sweet with chocolate or salted caramel or sharp with fresh berries on top. Blueberry cheesecake made with my pretty blue Kitchenaid? Serendipity!
If I could eat just one dessert for the rest of my life, it would have to be a vanilla ice cream sundae with hot fudge and marshmallow sauce, topped with fresh cut strawberries all piled on top of a piping hot chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. Gotta fit as many delicious things as possible on that baby!
Most amazing giveaway ever! I’d love to have my very own Kitchenaid Stand Mixer! I hope I win!! :D
Chocolate… milk or dark chocolate with maybe a hint of nuts. I love sweets, but after a straight week of eating any sweet treat, I grow tired of it… EXCEPT chocolate :) You can pack it, purchase it almost anywhere and the dark version is actually good for you- go figure!
Samoas!! (Girl Scout cookies) Love that blue!
I put way too much thought into this probably, but mine would be cheesecake, specifically with some sort of fruit topping.
I’m going to say PB caramel bars. Crumbly crust in the bottom and a top layer of melted butterscotch, chocolate and peanut butter. To die for!!
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies with dark chocolate chips. Yum!!
NY style cheese cake! Yum!
I think I would choose Creme Brulee. It’s rich and has a wonderfully crisp top that when done correctly snaps when you dip your spoon into it.
Without a doubt, COTTON CANDY!! When I see it I lose all control. It doesn’t matter what color or flavor, I have to have it!!!
Two years ago when I was in Paris, I managed to find a cotton candy stand right nest to the Eiffel Tower! Two of my favorite things at the same time, I thought I was going to burst I was so excited. I stood underneath staring up at the sparkling tower AND ate my cotton candy. Perfect :)
This is a really tough one! I think vanilla ice cream would be the best answer- anything else I’d get sick of after a few times…
If I could only eat one dessert it would be a blood orange curd milk chocolate ganache chocolate tart. Because I would be able to have chocolate and a nice savory.
I must admit I am a chocoholic so chewy Chocolate Fudge Brownies with Chocolate Frosting would have to be my all time favorite! No nuts cause that would interfere with the chocolate flavour! LOL
Love the brilliant colours of the Kitchen Aid appliances!
Brach’s Conversation Hearts! So random I know, but you should see my stash, I stock up on them at Valentines and savor them as long as they’ll last!
First of all, thank you for your inspiring ideas and creations- they really lift up my spirit! One dessert I could eat FOREVER is Apple Pie Crumble with 2 scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream with Caramel!
Just one? My first thought was Tiramisu because that’s my favorite, but if we’re talking about forever, I’d probably go with homemade chocolate chip cookies.
I would have a hershey chocolate bar with no nuts! That would make me happy!!
For the rest of my life? This is tough! My grandmother makes what I call the poor man’s toffee! Graham crackers covered in melted brown sugar and butter and then baked, sprinkle with choc. chips once they are nice and melty spread and then sprinkle with nuts!
So simple and delicious
plain and simple… chocolate chip cookies.
if i could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be the breyer’s chips ahoy blast ice cream.. i love how they have the cookies in there :)
I will be alternating between a warm chocolate cake w ice cream and cream cheesse flan….YUM
I would eat chocolate caramel peanut cashew pecan ice cream…wit crumbled top cookies on top…..bakerella u shud try my cookies
Chocolate brownies.
Although my favorite cake for birthdays is banana cake with cream cheese frosting, if I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be cheesecake. I love cheesecake!!! Pumpkin, oreo, topped with cherries, and even plain.
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be my favorite…..Key Lime Pie!
Creme Brulee…I could eat it everyday!
A green tea macaroon!
Creme Brulee…but I’d have to be able to change up the fruit to whatever is in season!
Brownies with mint frosting!
I don’t have one specific dessert that I could pick for the rest of my life, but I do LOVE caramel. So I guess any dessert that involves carmel would be wonderful!
Love the blue color mixer!
Apple pie with real vanilla bean ice cream!
So hard to pick one dessert !! I would have to say chocolate cake pops! My most favorite dessert!
Def scotcharoo bars…. Pb, chocolate and butterscotch! Yummy!
My favorite dessert of all times has got to be key lime pie. So creamy and refreshing, add some real whipped cream… yummy
Chocolate cheesecake, hands down. Yummers.
Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Fingers crossed that I win. I need a mixer so bad & blue is my daughter’s favorite color!
I would munch on a fresh cherry pie every single day!
If I could only pick one dessert I’d pick cinnamon rolls or cupcakes. I looooove the blue color and have been dying for a stand mixer! Sorry I hit it on anonymous
I would pick lemon jello cake. My son requests it for his birthday every year and there’s no way to make it look pretty but it tastes so yummy and moist!
I would eat chocolate eclairs as my only dessert choice – happily!!
Although I am a baker by profession and hobby, I am wheat intolerate and there is not much in this category I can eat without the risk of getting very sick, so I just have to pick pudding. Vanilla or tapioca are my favorites. I love your website and try to recreate many of your creations, to the joy of my grandchildren. Thanks for being such an inspiration to me.
I think for me it would have to be red velvet cake, with just enough acidic cream cheese frosting :) nomnomnom
I would have to say New York Vanilla cheesecake.
My choice would be Oatmeal Butterscotch Chip Cookies…I cannot leave them alone when I make them…..so yummy!
Apple pie!!! With creamy vanilla bean ice cream!
I would eat soft chocolate chunk cookies! The chunks are the most important part :)
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Ice Cream
If I had to pick just one, it would have to be black forest cake! Yummmmmm
My mom’s yellow layer cake with homemade fudge frosting (my grandmother’s recipe). My mom makes me the cake every year for my birthday!
Hmm. So hard to choose just one! But I think I’d go with homemade caramels. I don’t make them often, usually over the holidays, but they are always a hit!! Deeee-lish!
I think I’d stick with a caramel apple :) yummm
If I could only eat one dessert it would be cheesecake cup cakes with a side of home made sweet cream ice cream. Mmmmmmmm, That would set me for life.
I’ve wanted a Kitchenaid for forever! I would love to own one!
One dessert for the rest of my life? Probably a Fudge banana bar. I recently made some (kind of a different recipe then how it started out) and they tast fantastic! I love them!
If I could only pick one dessert I’d pick cinnamon rolls or cupcakes. I looooove the blue color and have been dying for a stand mixer!
I would go with a typical Swedish dessert, a strawberry- and rhubarb pie with home made vanilla custard!
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, I’d go with a super rich cheesecake with a dark chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries on the side.
This is an amazing question… I think I’d have to pick strawberry-rhubarb pie. As much as I love chocolate, sometimes I just need something fruity and lighter than heavy heavy (but delicious) chocolate cake or brownies. I don’t think I’d burn out on strawberry-rhubarb pie.
Strawberry-rhubarb pie was also what my husband and I cut at our wedding in lieu of cake, so of course it’s a favourite! :)
Chocolate chip cookie. a nice soft gooey one!
Snickerdoodles!
HMMMM…I’d have to say german chocolate cake pops!!!! My favorite…think I will go make some right now!
Chocolate mousse, hands down! I can never get enough of it.
Toast with butter and sugar. It’s simple but oh so good
If I could only eat one sweet/dessert for the rest of my life I would have to choose just plain old birthday cake. You know…white cake with a yummy buttercream. I know it sounds boring but it is just something that I don’t get bored with. Especially if it is a nice soft white cake with a very yummy buttercream (real butter please…no shortening).
I’ve narrowed it down to carrot cake with cream cheese frosting (and lots of it!!)
This blue color is beautiful!! So very Spring!!!!
Cheesecake. Or Oreos. Or Oreo Cheesecake..Swoon…
only one dessert??? that’s crazy-talk, but if i had to choose….there’s a little restaurant in Leitchfield KY that makes the best Pecan Cobbler, that would be my one dessert!
the dessert i would choose would be cheesecake. you can make it so many different ways. you can add flavors of candy to it. make mini cheesecakes, cheesecake balls, layer with cake, make flavored cheesecake to taste like cake, cookies or candies. make with a cookie crust, or no crust. top with fresh fruit, and the best part is the creamy taste of any flavor.
CHEESECAKE BITES!!!! Plain new york style ones because I could essentially dress them up with whatever I felt like at the moment. So hrd to pick a flavour because dipping them in caramel or chocolate would be delicious, as would having them with fresh bites of raspberries, blackberries or strawberries….YUM! And the Kitchenaid mixer would make it that much easier to whip them up! That colour is so fresh! Now if I can EVER afford to buy one (if I don’t win here), that will make the choice of colour that much harder as it’s a new contender! Thanks for the great blog! Always gives me great ideas!
Something caramel and chocolate related. Perfect combo!
Chocolate Eruption Cake – chocolate mousse, cheesecake chunks, cookie crust, caramel sauce, almond slices…… oh yum!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
If I had to pick just one dessert, it would probably be cheesecake! Specifically, plain cheesecake with cherry or strawberry topping :D
Creme brulee! I just can’t get enough of it!
Jeni’s Salty Caramel Ice Cream!!! (luckily I got her cookbook and can make my own!!)
I think if I only had to eat 1 dessert it would be a Cannoli. I love that it is sweet and cheesy and you can have a bit of chocolate too and pistacho. It is just perfection for me.
IF i could only eat ONE kind of dessert forever I would choose chocolate ganache macarons!! They were perfect, melt in your mouth and soooo amazing
would have to be tiramisu!! (Along with a good cup of coffee) Blue is my favorite color… would be a great, just turned 40, present! :)
Given that there are over 2284 comments I’m still going to try my luck at winning one of these. I’ve been wanting one for so long..poor college student here :)
If I could eat anything? It would be lemon bars!!
http://www.lyzhang.com
This is so hard! I think I would have to choose raspberries and strawberries with whip cream and a drizzle of chocolate!
Chocolate marshmellow ice cream from Schwan’s!! :)
Honestly, I’d probably be eating chocolate chip cookie dough until my face fell off. Not just any cookie dough, but my Uncle Jeff’s recipe. Its got french vanilla pudding in it and just… agh. I freakin love it. :)
Oh man. Tough choice. If I could only have one dessert (and not gain any weight from it, ha!) I think I would choose millionaire shortbread, especially if it had macadamia nuts in it. There’s just something about that combination of buttery dough, nuts, and chocolate.
Chocolate and Caramel Cheese Cake! Its amazing! I will eat a whole cake with a spoon, and not have that “I regret doing that feeling” :)
If I could only eat one kind of dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be creme brulee.
I love all kinds of sweets, which makes this hugely difficult. But I think my favorites right now are peanut butter cups. My favorite chocolate shop in Boston has these giant peanut butter cups with marshmallow, salted dark chocolate or caramel in addition to the more traditional peanut butter cup, so I would pick the salted dark chocolate peanut butter cup. So delicious!
If I could have just one dessert for the rest of my life, it would definately have to be chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream – nothing fancy, just moist and yummy cake with creamy vanilla ice cream. PERFECTION! :)
I would want pretzels covered in chocolate and peanut butter. Perfect combo of sweet and salty!
