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.
a Triple Chocolate Meltdown with vanilla ice cream…Mmmmm
French silk pie! Raw eggs and ALL! :)
If the only choice i have to eat something for the rest of my life i would have to say Junior’s Cheesecake from Brooklun, NY….as a child living in brooklyn one of my best memories was going to downtown brooklyn to get Juniors Cheesecake…..I remember my dad and I would get one for mothers day cause it was my mom’s favorite….Now as an adult living in Long Island, NY i dont get the chance to go to brooklyn as often as i would like but thankfully i have a hubby who thinks of me on those special days and will make the trip to brooklyn to get me a Juniors cheescake….i remember when our daughter was 8 and i had recently lost my dad and on top had surgery to remove a growth from my neck and i couldnt eat many solids so he made an exceptional trip to Juniors so that i could eat something smooth which i would be able to swallow plus he just wanted to make me happy and a bring a smile to my face….so yes i have many fond memories of Juniors Cheescake and thats why in my opinion no other can compare….Thank you for the chance to win! The Crystal Blue Mixer. :)
Take 5 candy bars. Perfect mix of sweet and salty!
I would have to say it would be Red Velvet cake !! Thanks for the chance to win!
This is definitely a hard decision. Chocolate and Peanut Butter are always a favorite, but I think I would have to say my grandmother’s Banana Pudding. Yum!
It’s so hard to choose! I’m sure in 5 minutes I will think of another *best dessert ever* but right now I am all about Moose Tracks Fudge Ice Cream. Delightful!
I am fron Ushuaia, Tierra del fuego. Argentina! the most austral place in the world! The end of the world!! and if i had to pick one, It would be CALAFATE (kind of berries from Patagonia Argentina) sauce! like you’ve never tasted before!!!!
pd: I have been following your blog for years and it´s my favorite!! it´s the first time that I write
Chocolate Raspberry Cheese Pie
The perfect mix of cheesecake, raspberries, chocolate and an oreo crust! Love it!
I make the best pumpkin bread on the planet. If I could only have one thing, it would have to be that!
The most perfect chewy chocolate chip cookie with LOTS of chocolate chips.
It would be very hard to remain loyal to one dessert but if I had to it would be my chocolate chip cookies…warm from the oven with a tall glass of cold milk!
That’s easy!!! My wedding cake! It was from Alice’s Tea Cup in NYC. It was a dark chocolate cake with yummy vanilla buttercream frosting and a NUTELLA filling. Anything with nutella and I’m ALL in! lol
I would eat red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. Love that blue coloe!
those molten lava cakes where when you put your fork in it, the chocolate oozes all over the plate. aaaahhhh…
Definitely the toasted marshmallow cupcakes from trophy cupcakes (the recipe that they made on the Martha Show). Amazing cupcakes – not too rich, not too sweet. Decadent and wonderful.
Brownies… dark chocolate gooey brownies.
I’d have creme brûlée. Real vanilla, with no extra frills other than (maybe) fresh-whipped cream. I love fresh fruits, just not on my creme brûlée! I don’t have it often, but it always gives me a luxurious feel. :-)
Nothing crazy…It would have to be red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for me.
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life… I would eat the Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcake from WDW… They have them at multiple parks, but my favorite park to get them at is MGM (aka Hollywood Studios).
Disney world is so much fun, we went in 2010 when my daughter was 4!! we are planning on going again for halloween 2013 with our daughter and our new son !! my favorite dessert is actually from disney Beignets!! they are so amazing i can not wait to go back and eat some!!
My every-night dessert would be Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. It is just the perfect ice cream, and so far, it looks like I AM eating it every night for the rest of my life!
I can’t imagine anything more fun that traveling, cooking, meeting other talented people…and, of course, EATING lots of yummy things!
My favorite dessert would have to be cheese cake. It could be chocolate, swirled, raspberry topping, lemon or lime, turtle….you name it. Cheese cake wins everytime with me!
Coffee ice cream!
Only one?! You make my life so difficult. I’m going to say salted caramel gelato.
The chocolate cookie dough cake I made last weekend! It might be cheating though because it incorporates chocolate cake, amazing frosting, cookie dough, AND cookies. mmmm!
Pumpkin muffins with chocolate chips
Honestly, of all the sweets I adore…. I would pick Dairy Queen’s French Silk Pie blizzard. I eat one at least once a week. So yummy!
ps- that mixer is so gorgeous. I love love kitchen aid!
Oh wow what a great prize! And such a gorgeous color! I would have to say that the only one I would say I have to have for sure would be homemade SOFT chocolate chip cookies NO nuts!
Can`t find my comment that I posted earlier…so I`m trying again:) If I could choose only one dessert it has to be…chocolate icecream with cocolate saus sprinkled with mnm`s and peanuts!! Love love love kitchenaid, but can`t afford it as a student….Oh what a dream!!
Gosh, just one? I’m usually a sucker for something warm & a la mode… something warm like brownie, bread pudding, or apple pie. But I also like anything with PB & Choc. Hmmm, PB Chocolate pie a la mode?
That is easy Peanut Butter Bars. The best of both worlds, peanut butter, chocolate…..mmmmmmmmm
And that beautiful mixer would match my newly redecorated kitchen *fingers crossed* :)
Key lime pie for me! Unless I start thinking about it more, then too many options to count spring to mind…
If I had to pick just one dessert, which is just madness by the way, (how do you pick just one?!) I think i could live off a creamy key lime pie with a pistachio/shortbread cookie crust and fresh whipped cream.
I just love simple butter cake and any toppings on it
Love your blog
Thanks for sharing
For me, it would have to be chocolate covered pretzels. The salty, the sweet, the smooth, the crunchy…it is the perfect treat!
I would have to go with divinity! With nuts. I know, I know, it’s very sweet but I have such a fondness for the sugary, stickiness, fluffy and white! It’s my weakness, so I try to keep it for a special occasion: Christmas. But I’d be lying if I said it never fell into my hands a couple of times throughout the year!
I LOVE this mixer color. My daughter’s middle name is Blue, so it would be perfect in my kitchen!
If I could only pick one dessert… it would have to be warm apple crisp with vanilla ice cream on top… so good!
Definitely a french “Tarte aux pommes” !
Thx, Zoey
This is so simple, but a chocolate chip cookie. They are my all time favorite and I could eat them over and over again.
It would be so hard to pick just one…but I think it would definitely be made with chocolate! A chocolate cake with fudge chocolate frosting :)
I would consume caramel topped fudgey brownies for dessert for the rest of my life topped with cookie dough ice cream of course! :)
I would have to choose my mom’s chocolate cake with her whipped icing. It is sooo good I can never get enough.
I have such a sweet tooth and desserts are a definite weakness! To choose just one would be hard… but if forced to choose just one… i’d say my newest craving… which is molten lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
I love magic cookie bars. I’d pick those. Nice graham cracker crust and chocolate plus sweetened condensed milk!
I could most definitely live on milkshakes the rest of my life! I love dark chocolate, any kind of fruit (especially berries!), and PEANUT BUTTER, which makes any dessert taste better!
If I could only eat one thing I’d go with my moms key lime cheesecake bars..they are AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG and oh so yummmmyy!!!
Ooh, that is so pretty…I would give it to my mom! If I could eat only one sweet forever, it would be a cupcake, but it’s so hard to pick one…I love a classic white, but that might get kind of boring. I will go with a chocolate cherry cupcake with cheesecake filling. Yum.
If I could eat one type of dessert every day, it would be anything of a pudding consistancy…..creme brulee, rice pudding, asian “che” desserts etc! It makes me a happy panda!
I would make macaroons. My nemisis.
The first thing I thought was Tiramisu! So I’m going with that. Thank you for the chance to win!
Homemade caramel!!! It’s so good I don’t even have to put it on anything. Just eating it with a spoon is divine!
You look like you are super busy and having a great time! Love the pics and that baby blue kitchen aid makes me drool!
I’d eat chocolate eclair cake with the homemade frosting (not canned) for the rest of my life if I had to pick one. A little pudding/custard filling with chocolate and graham crackers-the perfect sweet!
Chocolate and pecan turtles! Perfect for satisfying my need to have chocolate mixed with something (caramel, nuts, etc….)
Welcome back! I’ve only owned hand mixers and would love to win this Kitchenaid table mixer! If I could only have one dessert for life, it would probably be flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sorbet… :-D
Chocolate chip cookies – the perfect blend of sweet and salty.
Its actually a new found love but I could eat Ben & Jerrys Americone Dream every.single.day. The smooth vanilla, swirls of caramel, and crunchy chocolate covered cone bits are amazing! Even this early in the morning it sounds good!
I was a very strange child that didn’t like sweets at all, so my mom came up with a cake that didn’t have any icing on it. She makes a basic Strawberry Cake then mixes cool whip with frozen strawberries and that becomes my icing. Its so cool and refreshing and going on 25 years now its still the cake I request for my birthday!
hmmm, I think I would have to go with just plain old cherry pie. Probably chilled. What would you choose?
I would have to say my Mom’s Oatmeal Rice Crispy Cookies! It has the right amount of sweetness and crunchiness . It melts in your mouth. Plus my mom makes them… Can’t go wrong with mom!
Warm devils food cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, yummy!!
My dessert of choice would have to be butterscotch pudding pie. It has been a favorite since I was a little girl and one I don’t have the opportunity to enjoy but once in a great while. So, to have it the rest of my life would be alright by me.
it would be a tiramisu cupcake. :-)
If I could only eat one sweet or dessert for the rest of my life I believe I would have to go with my homemade Devil’s Food Cheesecake. It’s sinfully delicious! A nice thick layer of devils food cake, a thick layer of homemade chocolate buttercream, two to three inches of New York style cheesecake no crust, more buttercream and another layer of my moist devils food cake all topped with the homemade chocolate buttercream with chocolate curls on top. I want one now. Too bad my mixer is broke!
I would eat the S’Mores Cupcake from Cupkate’s Bakery (a food truck) in the San Francisco Bay Area. A close second: banana cream pie.
I could probably forever love a good old fashioned choc chip cookie sandwich filled with choc ice cream! Wish I was there while this was going on! I have the Bakerella Book and a few others. I’ll be there during the Epcot Flower Show in April.
I have always wanted one of these mixers and now they have this cheery blue! I have a long-term illness and extreme fatigue prevents me from making my favorite double chocolate chip with pecans cookies for friends and neighbors. I would love this mixer to get me back in the kitchen again-so would my friends and neighbors! Love your blog, glad your are feeling better!
My birthday is this Thursday and my dream cake is strawberry shortcake. so I think that if I had to choose one desert it would have to be just that w a lot of whipped cream.
I would have to say a delicious brownie. No frosting or nuts, just the brownie and, if I could choose, it would always be the corner piece. Like the chewier texture of the edge with the fudgy goodness of the center!
Vanilla bean with raspberry buttercream!
If I could only have one desert for the rest of my life it would be…………………………………………….. penuche fudge. My Dad makes the best penuche in the whole entire world and I would never get tired of eating it.
thanks!
Claire
Gingersnaps or Nilla Wafers :) Simple, but delicious — and hopefully not too overwhelming that I’ll get sick of them!
If I could eat just one dessert for the rest of my life it would be blackberry pie! YUmm! I can’t wait for blackberry season.
Bit O’ Honey Candy. Never gets old!
I made a turtle cheesecake brownie complete with homemade dulce de leche for my birthday and it was FABULOUS! My husband is STILL raving about it :)
Chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies!!
Definitely shortcake–yeah angle food shortcake. Strawberry, raspberry–any fruit on light fluffy angle food with real whipped cream. Yum
I had a tough choice between creme brulee and tiramisu. My final choice would have to be tiramisu. With the yummy coffee creamy goodness of it all.
Pie! Most definitely pie…and if I had to pick one, it would be apple for its versatility. Apple, apple crumb, dutch apple, apple raisin, apple pecan, apple cheese…yum! Thank you for the great give away.
Pecan pie!
If I had to choose one desert to eat for the rest of my life it would have to be a brownie fudge sundae, that is my absolute favorite desert….mmm!
I don’t think I could ever get sick of eating chocolate chip cookies!
My favorite would be Marble Brownies. Chocolate and vanilla (my favorite part of the brownie) goodness. A recipe my grandma made for us as little kids and then my parents and now me for my kids.
Only one! I’d have to say a danish with any fruit… the flaky crust… and the fruit kind of makes it healthy, right? At least that’s what I tell myself when I go back for another one :)
Just one dessert for the rest of my life? Um.. I have not just a sweet tooth but sweet teeth :) I looooove every thing sweet and delicious. So picking just one is very hard.
So I’m choosing a home made chocolate cake with a layer of chocolate ganache and a layer of mascarpone+fresh raspberries+fresh strawberries.
I gotta go now cause I have to go and make one right this minute :)
I would definitely eat homemade rice krispy treats for the rest of my life. So delicious! Thank you for this incredible giveaway!
black forest cheescake!!!
anything chocolate. Let’s choose chocolate mousse!
My first thought was banana pudding. But the more I thought about it, I went to pumpkin pie and then dump cake. I think I’ll stick with banana pudding…really good, rich banana pudding.
I think I would have to go with butterschotch brownies – So yummy they even beat out something with chocolate.
I have a chocolate cake recipe that is very similar to PW’s chocolate sheet cake. You cook the frosting on top of the stove, then put it on the cake when it’s right out of the oven. That is my favorite of all time and i could not live without it.
I’d eat plain chocolate brownies . I like things to be pure and there’s nothing tastier than warm brownies out of the oven. YUM!!
Ugly Duck Cake – It’s a yellow cake mix with a can of fruit cocktail mixed in and shredded coconut sprinkled on top. It’s my absolute favorite cake!
If I had to only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, it’ll be flan. When my grandma was still alive, she used to make the best flan ever! We all have her recipe but no one could make it as good as hers.
You can’t go wrong with vanilla ice cream. It never gets old. It never lets you down. You never don’t feel like having it…yes, vanilla ice cream would do very well as the only desert in the world for me.
Finchy
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would be creme brulee…. I can’t get enough of the burnt sugar topping and creamy custard! Yummmm
If I had to pick just one – New York Cheesecake!
Sprinkles’ PB Chip cupcake!
Only available on Sunday & Tuesday.
BEST DESSERT EVER.
Mmmm… Cookie Dough Ice Cream. That’s all I need :)
I would have to say apple crumble with vanilla ice cream (if thats allowed to be considered as one) You can never go wrong with apple crumble, always SO good!
I could survive off cookies n cream ice cream if it had to be my last food item altogether! Thanks bakerella!!
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would probably be chocolate chip cheesecake.
It would have to be Devil’s Food cupcakes with peanut butter buttercream. May I have coffee with that, too, please?
Red velvet cake!
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life I would say the carrot cake cupcake from wuollets bakery in Minnesota! They are so wonderful!
That mixer is such a beautiful color, I love it!
my mixer/blender is on it’s last legs. that blue would look awesome in my kitchen! i can’t pick just one dessert but anything with strawberries is sure to please my tastebuds.
Definitely donuts. Preferably glazed cake with sprinkles!
I would have to say red velvet cake! I’m in love with it!
I didn’t even need to think about this one….Creme Brulee….without a doubt or question!!
It’s a lot to narrow down everything, but I’d have to go with a s’more. Not an ordinary S’more, but one with peanut butter holding the marshmallow in place. That way, I get the sweet AND the salty. Thank God I don’t have to REALLY do this! It would be awful!
If I could, I would eat creme brulee every day! I’ll try any flavor, but a clasic creme brulee with fresh berries can’t be beat!
homemade baklavas !:)
Dark chocolate with hazelnuts and raisins
Chocolate! Specifically molten chocolate lava cake w/ vanilla bean ice cream and some more hot fudge on top for good measure!!!
If I HAD to choose, I think I could eat cheescake everyday for the rest of my life!!(without gaining a pound!)
Red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting.
My mother’s chocolate ice box cake—-ladyfingers lined loaf pan filled with a smooth chocolate mixture similar to French silk pie–only better, more dense and richer–really. And of course whipped cream on top. I might put a smidgeon of Bailey in it at this stage of my life. *;-)
I would eat my mom’s banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies forever!!
Chocolate chip cookies. I prefer the chunky chocolate kind with nuts if possible, but I don’t turn down any of the other chocolate chip cookies. Looove these! Especially with a cold glass of milk. Yum!
A grasshopper cupcake! I think I could eat one every day for the rest of my life and never get sick of it.
anything chocolate… good old fudgy brownies with nuts, I guess, since I have to pick one. :)
I would have to say, red velvet cake, cupcakes, or cookies. yummy!!!
If only one dessert, it would have to be my homemade biscotti with a cup of tea…
I Love the new Kitchenaid color, well I pretty much like anything blue!!
If I could choose one dessert it would be… yellow cake and chocolate icing with little caramels and gooey chocolate on top and sprinkles!!
Oh so hard to choose . . . probably chocolate peanut butter cup bars w/ dark chocolate. Yummy!
The one dessert (if there was only one) would be mousse – chocolate with fresh Florida strawberries and lots and lots of fresh whipped cream. This is what I always have for my birthday and any other time I can. Takes me back to when I was a little. That was a wonderful weekend you had at Disney and great pics!
Rainbow cookies, the kind you can find at any metro NY area bakery. Absolutely! I miss them terribly on the other side of the country. Black and whites are a close second.
If I could only have one dessert for the rest of my life, it would have to be Rhubarb Crisp.
The one I make has a yummy custardy cream filling! mmmm mmmmmm!
I could share it with you if you like!
Awesome mixer color!
Love your pictures! TFS!
I would have to choose rocky road ice cream. I don’t think I could live without ice cream!
OMGosh!!! I’m in love with this new blue color!!!! If I won this new Kitchen Aid stand mixer, I would find a way to use it every day! Haha
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, first of all, I would cry. And second of all, it would probably have to be white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake, like the one from The Cheesecake Factory. Yes, please.
French macarons with a casis flavored filling is my absolute favorite
Only one dessert? Sounds too awful to think about! But if I had to choose it would be my family’s chocolate cake. It is so good!!! Very light and not too rich. Yeah, Im going to have to make one today! Lol Drooling…
I think if I could only eat one type of sweet/dessert for the rest of my life I’d have to choose my Aunt’s “Cindy Cookies” I have no idea what type of cookies they are exactly, but they are CRACK. They’re almost a really cake like sugar cookie, with an amazing frosting. She only makes them once a year at Christmas.
My absolute favorite dessert is tiramisu cheesecake. I made it for the first time last year for my friends birthday and of course made an extra one for me. It is wonderful.
NY pineapple cheesecake made by my NY Mother…..
Fruit Pizza, hands down! If I were stuck only eating one dessert this would be it. I don’t think I would get tired of this quite as quickly as I would some other richer desserts.
Strawberry wedding cake. Not just any , the good stuff. Cake so soft its almost angel food cake. Frosting so light its almost whipped cream. And to pull it all together…Fresh Strawberries hidding ever so carefully throughout the layers of yummy goodness. Dang, now I have to go find some for lunch today…mmmmmm!!!
Marionberry pie a la mode. YUMMERS!
Only one mixer and only one dessert…wow what a challenge! I would have to pick brownies!! Yummy…fudge brownies with chocolate chips running through it.
I think it would have to be a devils food cake with a whipped cream – powdered sugar frosting and then topped with pie cherries – like a black forest cake but not as rich or calorie laden. I could eat this every day and never get tired of it! Beautiful pics of Disney World trip by the way!!!
Apple pie or apple crisp would be my first choice. Second best would be chocolate chip cookies. :) btw what beautiful ladies and pictures. I’m still sad I couldn’t go but hoping to meet everyone next year!
If I had to eat just one dessert for the rest of my life I would choose a simple plain white cheesecake with fresh strawberries on top and a splash of chocolate sauce. So yummy! I bake all the cakes and goodies for all the family events and could really use a new mixer! And blue just happens to be my favorite color! Good luck everyone!
It would be tres leches!!
Dark chocolate gelato. Nothing says “I love you” like cold, dark chocolate.
Tiramisu would be my dessert of choice. Yum!
So many to choose from but being from the South, I think my favorite would have to be Pecan Pie!!!!
I would have to say a good old-fashioned carrot cake with extra cream cheese frosting!
This is tough. I think it would have to be an English classic: my mum’s apple crumble with a generous dollop of custard.
I think I have to go with Chocolate Texas Sheet Cake. It’s been our go-to family birthday cake for years! It’s not only delicious, but has lots of memories wrapped up in it too! It is best eaten warm out of the oven and topped with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream!
I would eat these cinnamon toast crunch cupcakes I make every day if I could. They are delicious and taste just like cinnamon toast crunch. Yum!
I’d have to go with a classic chocolate chip cookie. I would never tire of those. Love them!
Well if I had to pick one it would be praline ice cream ummm sooo yuuummmyyy
I LOVE Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies….so much that I inspired a client of mine to make a cake out of them! A local bar and grill that does gourmet catering and baking had heard me talk about my love for oatmeal cream pies forever and decided to experiment with making a cake 3 tier cake! It was a TOTAL SUCCESS!!! So I would gladly eat Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie Layer Cake!!!
This is probably the most difficult question I’ve had to answer for a loooooong time! But I’m going to go with the first thing that popped into my mind (probably because I’m craving it big time at the moment, sitting writing my master’s thesis at the library..) : BAKLAVA… sweet, sticky, nutty, crunchy, perfect!:)
Dark Chocolate Mousse.
I think it would definitely be Canolli’s. You can’t take the new york out of this girl. :)
Birthday Cake remix icecream from Coldstone… OR homemade apple pie ..with ice cream
Definitely Guinness Chocolate Cake with cream cheese frosting!
If I could only est one sweet forever, it would be decorated sugar cookies. They are my all time fave. You can make them for any season, theme, party or occasion. They need to be a nice thickness with good icing. Love love love them :-)
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life…it would have to be pumpkin roll. The perfect blend of spices and sweet cream cheese filling. I think that would cover my bases – plus you can always garnish with shaved chocolate!
Chocolate cake with some sort of peanut butter frosting….all. day. long.
Wow, looks like so much fun! If I could only have one dessert… I think I’d have to say good old-fashioned brownies. I just can’t do without my chocolate fix!
only one :(.. but if I got it everyday it would help…. I’m thinking angle food cake with fresh strawberries, whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate..
Its so hard to pick just one dessert.. but I think I could survive on Boston Creme Cake for the rest of my life..its simple, yet so rich and delicious
I would choose double chocolate chunk brownies :) I love brownies and chocolate! lol that color is so awesome and I’ve been dying for a kitchen aid. Good luck everyone :)
Ok so nestle toll house chocolate chip cookies, homemade of course. They are so yummy and versatile. Don’t think I’m crazy, just been craving them a little (ok A LOT) since we’ve moved to Singapore (from FL) 2 years ago. I’ve baked them over a hundred times since I’ve learned to turn on an oven but something about the ingredients/humidity/appliances combination here doesn’t quite fit the bill and they never seem to turn out right!! We are moving back in July and can you guess what will be baked first when we return… YEP, chocolate chip cookies, served with a heaping spoonful of Dreyer’s vanilla bean ice cream topped with some Sander’s hot fudge topping ( available in MI, where I was born & raised) Oh man, I can’t wait to get back to the US…
Chocolate Chip cookies… I already eat them every day, its plausible to extend that to forever!
If I had to pick a dessert, it would be my mom’s layered lemon dessert. It is so lite and lemony delicious, you can never go wrong with shortbread and lemon! Never!!
Banana Split Sundae… Ice cream, fruit, nuts, chocolate, whipped cream… A little bit of everything, you can’t go wrong!!
I’d have to say Lemon Cake with a lemon icing glaze. I might regret no chocolate later, but I have to stick with lemon.
If I had to eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would definitely have to a Belgium waffle ice cream sandwich (or open face, either way =] ) Mmmm ..nice hot and fresh Belgium waffle right off the griddle with a simple scoop (or two..three) scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. I would be totally happy with that but it wouldn’t hurt to put a little peanut butter on the waffle and drizzle a little caramel on top. Perfect
Toasted Coconut Cupcakes….I live for them :-)
Oooh. That’s a hard one but I would say a warm, gooey Magic Cookie Bar with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate fudge topping!
plain NY cheesecake. no cherries, no chocolate just graham cracker crust and a hint of lemon zest.
If I had to have only one sweetie forever…mmm, perhaps Ranger Cookies. No, pie definitely my homemade apple pie. Well, my mom used to make the best persimmon cookies known to man….wait a minute, does this mean I have to give up chocolate!?! Clearly I can’t choose.
i would eat my mother’s baked pineapple empanadas sprinkled with cinnamon sugar fresh out of the oven!!
Hmmm hardest decision ever!
I would choose Chocolate Chip cupcakes topped with a little chocolate frosting and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. YUM :)
Cucumber and chili paletas from Las Paletas in Nashville!
My would be the Italian dessert Tartufo. Its shaped like a dome and on the inside 1st layer devils food cake 2nd layer white chocolate ganache” 3rd layer cake 4th layer choc. ganache then cake again, but it gets better, then the whole cake is covered in a choc. ganache’ shell!
It would be tres leches!!!
My first thought was rice pudding! But I think I would desperately miss chocolate, so I’ll have to change my answer to: Half Baked ice cream! Perfect mix of chocolate & vanilla, with some brownies and chocolate chip cookie dough — all my favorite things!
I spend so much time dreaming up crazy flavored sweets for my kids or friends…but I’m so simple. Give me a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and I’m a happy girl.
I’d eat red velvet cupcakes from Lucy and Leo’s in Tallahassee, Florida. They have the best frosting ever and that’s the most important part of the cupcake! =]
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would be my Mom’s dark chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing. There is no better combination!
It would be a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream (in my case an egg free wheat free dairy free brownie with vanilla Rice Dream Dessert) So Good!
I think I’d pick a simple, chewy dark chocolate chip cookie. Just plain delicious!
my favorite dessert would be my Grandma’s cream puffs filled with vanilla icecream and covered with hot chocolate sauce ! Yummmmy!
Bread Pudding, I love it:)
If I could eat one dessert it would be tiramisu!!!!! So rich, so creamy, so yummy!!! Espresso, liquor, and cheese….how can you go wrong?!?!? :)
Oreo cheesecakes… So good~
I would have to say my favorite would be coconut cake! Thanks for sharing all of your photos.
Wow what a great giveaway! Have I told you lately that you are my FAVORITE blogger?! But such a tough question. I am decision-challenged, so choosing just one is pure torture!! It has to be something chocolate! Today I will say, devil’s food cupcake filled with chocolate mousse and topped with raspberry buttercream and chocolate curls. YUM!
I would have to go with yellow cake with chocolate frosting. What can I say, I’m a simple kind of girl.
Hmmm…I would definately choose arroz con leche! Yummm
Ice cream, vanilla or mint chip!
It would have to be tres leches!!
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have a new Kitchenaid mixer! That aside, my absolute favorite dessert that I’m sure that I could eat every day for the rest of my life is called Russian Cream. It’s a delicious custardy type dessert made from sour cream, knox unflavored gelatin, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. Heat all of that in a sauce pan, and then let it cool to the gelatin consistency. Layer it with raspberries in their own syrup. It’s like heaven! I’ve loved it ever since I was a little kid. I don’t make it too often, though, because I’ll eat all of it!!
P.S. My uncle serves it at his restaurant, The Blue Lion, in Jackson Hole, WY.
I could eat chocolate (dark) covered strawberries ALL DAY!!
For me, it would have to be oatmeal raisin cookies. The exact kind that were stolen by bears when I went camping in Yosemite years ago!
I adore my mom’s Almond Poppy Seed Bread.
