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.

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.

  17. I can’t choose one…can I just eat dessert for the rest of my life instead? LOL :)
    It’s a tie between the Italian Cream Cake from The Cheesecake Factory, frozen custard, and the Italian Rainbow Cookies I grew up eating!

  18. Oooh that’s a tough one. Right now I’d have to say these lemon ricotta cookies that a bakery near my house makes. They are pillow soft with a perfect hint of lemon. I want one now!

  19. My favorite dessert is Red Velvet Cake with Fluffy White Frosting. My mom would make it for me for my birthday.

  20. Fruit tart! Its been my birthday cake wish for the past several years! My birthday is in July, so a beautifult fruit tart with straberries, blueberries and kiwi with that delicious cookie crust makes me very happy!

  21. If i could only have one dessert for the rest of my life i would probably want strawberry short cake. The biscuit kind with perfectly ripe, wild strawberries and fresh, homemade, full fat whipped cream. mmmmm so tasty! here’s to winning! om nom nom!

  22. so hard to pick just one dessert. I love it all especially CHOCOLATE. But if I only had ice cream I would be a VERY happy gal. Almost any flavor will do though I am partial to raspberry with dark chocolate chunks!!

  23. Definitely sour cream apple pie with streusel topping. It’s been my fave since I can remember!

  24. For a dessert for the rest of my life would have to be tiramisu. I love it and when I see it on a menu when I go out, I usually try to con the husband into sharing one with me :)

  25. I would have to pick strawberry shortcake with angel food cake… Yum!!!

  26. My all time favorite dessert is Creme Brulee! Love to hear that crack as you go in for the first bite! Oh yum!

  28. i have a special relationship with warm brownies (with chocolate chips) smothered in ice cream. all-time favorite, hands down.

  29. Would defiantly have to be warm chocolate fudge brownie sundae! The mixture of the hot fudge brownie and ice cream with choccy sauce is amazing! Even better with a few marshmallows on top! Delicious!

  30. I make a “chocolate chip” cookie using a mix of butterscotch, chocolate and cappuccino chips. I could these everyday for the rest of my life.

  31. I would have to pick strawberry rhubarb pie! I love the combination of the two. Sweet and Tart!

  32. That mixer is sooo pretty! If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be thin mints. And it would be good that I would have them for the rest of my life since I could probably eat a box a day! :)

  33. I think I would have to pick the petite vanilla scones from Starbucks!

  34. i’d choose meringue cookies!

  35. Creme brulee for sure!!

  36. i love the mocha haupia cake from kings hawaiian bakery, and would love to eat it everyday!

  37. What a beautiful color, and an amazing trip!! I wish I could be a blogger that got invited on trips like this. :)

  38. Hard to pick just one, but creme brulee wins by a nose.

  39. Just one dessert?!?!? That’s sooo difficult… But I guess I’d go for the fabulous alfajores my auntie makes, just the right amount of cookie and tons of delicious dulce de leche, all covered in chocolate, yummy!

  40. Oh gosh, that is such a hard decision!! I guess I would have to say either Creme Brulee or Tiramisu. They are my favorites!

  41. If I could eat just one type o sweet for the rest of my life, it would be home made, classic tollhouse cookies. Nothing can beat them!

  42. Gosh, that’s a hard question to answer! I think if I HAD to choose, it would be the chocolate molten cake from Chili’s (I know, how sad…) I am totally obsessed with it and have never been able to replicate it and have it come out near as good.

  43. Triple layer chocolate mousse pie, for sure!

  44. If I could eat one kind of dessert for the rest of my life it would be madagascar bourbon vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Perfectly simple and awesome with a glass of milk.

  45. I would eat triple chocolate cake w/ ganache icing if I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life U

  46. Triple chocolate cheesecake for this chocolate chick.. Dark, milk and white, smooth and creamy. Oh yeah. Yum.

  47. One dessert forever – it would be a toss up between my mum’s deliciously refreshing lemon tart or the chocolate & salted caramel cake I made the other day for the first time!
    The second one would have been made a lot easier if I’d had a Kitchenaid!
    xx

  48. I would have to go with brownies. I LOVE them. rich chocolate flavor with a hint of nuts and white chocolate on top. mmm. delicious!

    P.s. I love your blog!! <3

  49. That was a very good question:) First thing that popped into my mind CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE!!!! two of my ultimate Fave desserts and when you combine them OMG!!! Its like HEAVEN!!! Now you have me craving Chocolate cheesecake, Thanks:)
    By the way, I absolutely LOVE your Blog!!!
    I have lost count of all the recipes i have tried:)
    Thank you for sharing!!!
    Angela

  50. No-bake cookies are by far my favorite!! Definitely the recipe that includes cocoa powder :o) Peanut butter, chocolate, and oatmeal…don’t stop til my tummy hurts :o)

  51. gelato! Not to picky about the kind, love them all :) If i had to choose i would say panacotta (wedding cake)

  52. Easy! My Girlfriends utterly amazing cream cheese and white chocolate strawberry cupcakes.

    Sometimes, we don’t bother with dinner. We just eat 4 each and hit the white wine. lol

    Ben @ Cakecircle

  53. My mom’s sugar cookies … or orange creme brulee. I’d be happy eating either until the end of time.

  54. cheesecake with blueberry topping or turtle cheesecake or chocolate cheesecake….pretty much any cheesecake:D

  55. I would love to eat Hot Fudge Sundae’s forever!

  56. Just one dessert..well, it would absolutely have to be my Meyer Lemon Boysenberry Angel Food Cupcakes…a friend and family favorite. And really, can you imagine making angel food anything without a KitchenAid Mixer?

  57. It’s a toss-up between my pineapple cake or Tres Leches cake. Both are sinfully good, so it wouldn’t matter… :)

  58. If you could only eat one kind of sweet/dessert for the rest of your life, what would choose?

    That’s a hard one – there’s so many yummy things out there. For me it would be lemon meringue pie.

  59. My Nana’s Snickerdoodles!

  60. I would have to say my homemade French silk pie. Yes, it takes a ton of time to do, but it’s worth the labor of love. I’d eat that one dessert every day. Yum.

  61. Baked brie….creamy sweet rich goodness. (though that is likely to change if you were to ask me the same question tomorrow.)

  62. lemon curd with brown butter shortbread cookies!

  63. First of all I would like to say that only one dessert for the rest of my life would be torture!! This is really difficult to answer… I would have to say: a sundae – chocolate ice cream, hot fudge, whip cream… you can hold the nuts (ha!) & the cherry, they just get in the way of the good stuff!

  64. Cheesecake!! Except I can’t eat it anymore, because I have dairy and wheat intolerances :(

  65. I was going to go with red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, but I’ve been thinking of Florida lately, and with that comes key lime pie. Nice and tart with a graham cracker crust and some lightly sweetened whipped cream. Yum!

  66. One dessert…hmm that is tough. I would probably have to go with creme brulee. First, I don’t know how to make it. Second, it is the one dessert I actually eat so slowly that I can say, for sure, that I savor it!!!

  67. If I had to choose one dessert to eat for the rest of my life, it would be my grandmother’s specialty. A buttery dough layer brushed with apricot jam, topped with ground walnuts that have been folded into whipped egg whites. My favorite!!

  68. I would have Junior’s New York Style Raspberry swirl cheesecake with Haagen Daz Strawberry icecream. You gotta mush the two together, eat it in a bowl with a spoon. Rest the bowl on your pregnant belly (if the stars align).

    Best desert E.V.E.R!

  69. I’m just about to re-paint my kithcen and I’ve LOVE a blue mixer on the counter to replace my plain white one. My fave dessert…sheesh, I have issues with rocky road! I love many bar recipes (pink lemonade bars, or lemon bar or the pumpkin pecan butter that you’ve posted). Too many to choose from!

  70. Your trip looked like so much fun! The weather looked gorgeous, too!!

    Its a toss up between Red Velvet cake and S’mores Cupcakes. I think it depends on the time of year (summertime for s’mores), but I think I would have to go with Red Velvet because the combination of the sweet, moist cake and the tartness of the cream cheese frosting…its just so good!! I am still trying to find a really good red velvet recipe…although, maybe its a good thing that I haven’t found one yet…cause then I’m sure I would be making it all the time!!

  71. How pretty! I LOVE that color. I would have to say Snickers Brownies. Yum!

  72. I just love your blog. One dessert only is a tough one but probably chocolate chip cookies!

  73. I would have to say vanilla/sweet cream ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. It makes me feel like a kid when I see sprinkles and I can never resist!

  74. Without a doubt…coconut custard pie!!!

  75. Does Ice Cream count? because its my favorite food, desert, sweet and snack!

  76. I would have all kinds of cheesecake!

  77. Growing up in Maryland, we were occasionally treated to Berger Cookies – which, hands down, are the most fabulous cookies I can imagine. They were always a special treat since they are hefty cookies indeed – vanilla wafer cookies topped with mouth-watering fudge and only served fresh. Now I live in New York – and I haven’t had one in years! Guh, just thinking about them is giving me goosebumps!

  78. This is a really tough questions since I have just come back from Portland, Maine and had incredible desserts at Bresca”s and Hugo’s Restraunts!

    Carrot Cake that is light in texture with a incredible light cream cheese icing. I had this from a specialty shop in Waldwick. I could have at least tried to eat the whole cake, it was that good.

  79. Key lime pie!

  80. Chocolate Chip Cookies! Have to go with a classic.

  81. I would say triple chip macadamia cookies.

    I do so hope I win!

  82. It would have to be chocolate covered strawberries! Chocolate + sweet strawberries, what’s not to like? :)

  83. I would eat a peanut butter cup pie — every day for the rest of my life!

  84. White chocolate cheesecake with dark chocolate crust

  85. I would have to go with chocolate chip cookies. Easy to make and they always taste good. I can’t remember ever saying, “I’m just so sick of chocolate chip cookies!” :)

  86. I would have to pick chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream since you have both of best worlds…ice cream and cookie!

  87. Very difficult to decide on one. It would have to be a walnut brownie with vanilla ice cream and chocolate fudge sauce, warm of course. The blue Kitchenaid is beautiful. I’d love to replace my 20 something year old cobalt blue one with this one.

  88. Chocolate chip cookies with walnuts. Mmm!

  89. I think I would have to eat Cherry Almond sugar cookies! I’m drooling just thinking about them.

  90. It would have to be Oreo cookie truffles! Just Oreos, cream cheese, and almond bark. I seriously cant make them very often because I cant stop eating them!

    Thank mixer is beautiful!

  91. If I could only eat one type of sweet for the rest of my life it would have to be chocolate mousse! That silky smooth texture, the rich chocolate flavor! I have to stop, I’m drooling all over my keyboard! :)

  92. I love chocolate chip cookies, so I’d be inclined to pick them. So yummy just out of the oven.

    I love this giveaway! I’ve been saving for a mixer (just getting by with elbow grease until I can buy one). So, it would be lovely to win one. Also, that color is just magnificent.

  93. The dark chocolate lava cake made by my friend Chef Nicolas in Costa Rica, I’ve never had one that came even close in taste. It alone is worth the trip to Central America…

  94. Chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake!

  95. If I could eat just one dessert for the rest of my life, it would have to be French Silk Pie….it is chocolaty bliss!

  96. I have to pick just one? That’s a really hard decision. I think I would go with a warm, gooey brownie, with a scoop of classic vanilla ice cream on top. Yummy!

  97. I would choose the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream called coffee buzz buzz. It’s amazing. It’s cold, with a powerful flavor, little pieces of coffee and chocolate! YUMMY!!!

  98. lemon bars!!! I LOVE LEMON BARS!!!

  99. My favorite dessert is Double Fudge Brownies (Warm!) topped with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream and drizzled with chocolate and caramel! Throw in a few pecans on top! Man….. I gained a pound just THINKING about this!

  100. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! All time favorite! I love lots of others but always come back to these! :)

  101. hmmmmmm. If I only had one pick, it would be still warm from the oven chocolate chip cookies. Nothing beats one of those!

  102. Anything chocolate – chocolate brownies.

  103. Definitely oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. My mom used to make them when I was little. She would include butterscotch chips but I prefer chocolate chips only in oatmeal cookies. Delish!

  104. chocolate oreo volcano custard. yum.

  105. WOW! love that blue mixer!!!
    Answer to the question for me would be….chocolate chip cheesecake!
    Hope I win!!

  106. My all-time favorite dessert has to be my great grandmother’s carrot cake recipe make with baby food carrots. It gives it a soft, fluffy and moist consistency. Plus, her cream cheese recipe that goes along with it still has people talking! A plus side is my 3 year old enjoys helping me make it by dumping the baby food in the bowl.

  107. White chocolate chip cookies! I love them!

  108. Rhubarb strawberry pie. Thats what I would eat all the time!

  109. No bake cherry cheesecake!

  110. What a wonderful giveaway! But I can hardly choose 1 dessert. First thing that came to mind was strawberry shortcake :)

  111. Only one dessert? Hmm…that’d have to be fudge brownies with peanut butter cups in the middle! Annndd…now that I typed that, I’m tempted to go make some! I could whip up a ton in a new mixer :)

  112. Flourless chocolate cake!!

  113. Such a hard call! I would have to go with turtle cheesecake :)

  114. 3 leches my favorite dessert ever!

  115. If I could eat one type of dessert forever it would be any kind of chocolate covered marshmallow! Russell Stover has me addicted…… Every time I’m in Walgreens around a holiday I always buy like 5 and eat them all in the car! So bad, but SO good!

  116. It would have to be Cake. Specifally my moms Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese icing. It is to die for and I mean that literally. Its moist sweet spicy goodness worth every calorie. Good thing I know how to make it. :-)

  117. I make a mean espresso short bread. Can’t make it too often (hmm…butter) but I do love it. That and a good cheesecake. Oh, to have to pick one…cheesecake.

  118. Chocolate Coconut Cheesecake-(from Cheesecake Factory) it is to DIE FOR!!!

  119. I would LIVE on carrot cake for the rest of my life… and would probably be happier for it (and a smidge chubbier) haha

  120. That is EXACTLY the color my husband has been looking for to go in our orange and blue kitchen! Oh, my fingers will be crossed all week!

    To answer your question, my favorite sweet is something we call Triple Threat Cookies. They are a mix of peanut butter, oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies and taste the best just a minute out of the oven with a good beer like Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. Superb!

  121. Definitely lemon meringue pie, hands down.

  122. Such a difficult question… I would have to say bars of dark chocolate (over 70%), because I couldn’t live without chocolate!

  123. It would have to be apple pie.

  124. Anything chocolate! As long as it had chocolate in it, I’d be one happy gal!

  126. Vanilla cake pops with made with vanilla buttercream and dark chocolate coating. Mmmmm.
    Or chocolate chip cookies. Sorry. I can’t choose just one!

  127. Oh man, I would totally eat anything chocolate+peanutbutter every day for the rest of my life, or more specifically, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory! Sooooo good!!

  128. Chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting topped with crunched up reese cups! I could not live without this….seriously!!

  129. For me it would have to be Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. I’ve been eating it since I was a kid and I can’t imagine anything else that I could eat every day for the rest of my life ; )

  130. I would be a classic nestle toll house chocolate chip cookie, no nuts. You can never go wrong with that!

  131. I would pick my mom’s cream puffs, definitely. The’re just the right amount of eggy-sweetness-creamy-custardey goodness!

  132. The Last Dessert for me would be molten chocolate lava cake with a scoop of butter pecan ice cream and a vanilla shake

  133. One dessert I would choose to eat for the rest of my life would be homemade TRES LECHES!! So delicious and extremely moist!! But it MUST be homemade :D yumm!!!

  134. I would probably pick cupcakes, and a classic combo like chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. Yum!

  144. I would have to go for some really soft sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles. YUMM!

  145. Chocolate filled doughnuts! TO DIE FOR!

  146. Peanut Butter Ice Cream would satisfies all my desert cravings for the rest of my life. It has the chocolate, the sweet and salty all combined into one with nuts as well!

  147. For sure, I would only eat Red Velvet. It doesn’t matter what shape it comes in, be it cupcakes, cake pops, or a full blown cake. I heart Red Velvet!

  148. Ice Cream! In every flavor and color ever imagined. :)

  149. My favorite dessert would be a New York style cheesecake with strawberries and whip cream on top :) YUMMY!

  150. Well that is so easy! I would eat Devil’s Chocolate cake with dark chocolate icing with whipped heavy cream and chocolate pudding in the middle! Love CHOCOLATE!
    The new colors for KitchenAid are just wonderful. Everyone can use a new one! Love that brownie cup maker!

  151. My favorite dessert by far is my homemade chocolate cake with chocolate peanut butter icing. I don’t eat sweets often, but when I’m craving something sweet, I pull out my grandmother’s recipe and make this cake. I’ve never had a moister or richer chocolate tasting cake because it has a cup of steaming hot coffee mixed into the batter. Delicious!

  152. tres leches is my favorite desert you should try it too

  153. If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, I would choose chocolate caramel cupcakes! These delicious treats have a gooey caramel center surrounded by a rich chocolate cake. Top it off with a light caramel buttercream and you’re good to go! Mmm…I think I could survive just fine :)

  154. My flan (yum), I do make a very good flan. I have friends requesting it all the time. I think I’m going to make one today, it’s been a while ;)

  155. Definitely Toll House chocolate chip cookies form scratch!

  156. i’ve decided on chocolate covered strawberries rolled in something crunchy…pecans, snickers etc…i love sweet and tart and the strawberries always make me feel semi healthy

  157. I love anything chocolate, but if I had to pick one dessert as the only one forever, I would pick a chocolate chip cookie. Classic and traditional and always my favorite. :)

  158. I have a horrible time picking one of anything. Sweets are my weakness and anything chocolate gets me excited. I guess if I HAVE to pick just one I would say, chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven!

  159. If I were limited to only one dessert…it would have to be my mom’s brown sugar pie…it is yummy!

  160. Homemade Carmels.

  161. Only one…wow the pressure….I think warm bread pudding with rum sauce. thanks for the chance to win!

  162. Buckeyes; because I couldn’t live my life without peanut butter

  163. I love everithing with sugar any kind of desserts, but i think couldnt live without chocolate!!! theres another dessert i love is tres leches hope you can try it too!

  164. Only one???? I guess it would have to be the recipe for a devil’s food cake with caramel topping, frosted with a seven minute frosting and drizzled with dark chocolate. Love your blog and all the other blogs you mention. Bakerella you are amazing!

  165. Chocolate chip cookies. Simple is sometimes the most delicious!

  166. If I could only have one dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be warm chocolate chip cookies, right out of the oven. Not any chocolate chip cookie though. Only the cookies and cream pudding one. They are THE BEST!

  167. Peanut-Butter-Pretzel-Chocolate-Chip-Oatmeal Cookies (they’re not entirely real yet – I’m still perfecting my recipe). They give you everything – the chewiness of a chocolate cookie, the delight of peanut butter, the saltiness and crunchiness of pretzels, and just enough oatmeal health to make them (somewhat) guilt free!

  168. That’s difficult!!! but i would pick pecan caramel pie (with ice-cream on top ;) )

  169. i would definitely choose a good, old fashioned, moist pound cake. they’re simply perfect for any occasion and they taste like heaven

  170. i would eat duncan hines original supreme brownies. i feel pathetic and embarrassed that my favorite thing is boxed brownies, but these have hershey’s syrup in them and they’re pretty much the best things every. the batter is wonderful, the brownies warm are to die for and… well, they never last much longer than that.

    darn it, now i’m craving brownies…

  171. Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter buttercream!

  172. My Momma’s chocolate chip cookie’s – they are famous in our town :)

  173. Could never get sick of pumpkin pie being the only dessert I eat for the rest of my life!

  174. Cheesecake. I didn’t have to think for half a second to answer this! =)

  175. Ohhhh that mixer is pretty! My favorite dessert is Ben and Jerrys’ Phish Food Ice Cream….little tiny chocolate fish in chocolate ice cream, with a swirl of carmel, and a swirl of marshmallow sauce….oh my……it’s delicious!! ‘Would be so good in a Cake Pop!

  176. I could live off of a southern pecan pie with a cream cheese layer for the rest of my life!

  177. Frosting. Hands down.

  178. Hands down…..Hot fudge sunday with chocolate icecream & chocolate chip cookie dough, its everything I love & everything I should not eat!!

  179. Creme Brulee… oh so bad for me, but I love it!

  180. Lemon Icebox Pie!!!

  181. Carrot cake or red velvet cupcakes. YUM!

  182. Only one kind of sweet? Oh my…Um..probably Ghirardelli milk chocolate/caramel squares. SO YUMMY.

  183. I would eat Biscoff fudge!
    I would do anything for it!

  184. Oh, this is tough….I think I’ll go with chocolate peanut butter cheesecake (homemade). To die for!!

  185. Uncle Lews Chews….my husband passed away unexpectedly in Oct. He was only 43 and these were his favorite. These wonderful treats will now always be for us a reminder of him!

    My Christmas gift from him this past year was planned to finally be a KitchenAid mixer …. obviously this did not happen.

  186. My grandma’s rice pudding has to be the BEST!!

  187. snickerdoodle cookie!!

  188. When I read this, only one dessert came to my head. A hot dark chocolate souffle with white chocolate centre. Served with cold cream, it works perfectly. There is simply a clash of all things inside your mouth. Dark vs Light, Cream vs Sponge, Plain chocolate vs the rich White chocolate. The only downside of having this is you will soon put on the pounds.

  189. Only one!!??!! Hmmm, it would have to be a moist devil’s food cake with creamy chocolate frosting and a big glass of milk! (They go together, so it only counts as one right?) :) :)

  190. I would want to eat chocolate cupcakes with ganache chocolate frosting. I absolutely love chocolate cupcakes.

  191. Chocolate meringue pie just like my favorite aunt Gertrude used to make for me when I was little.

  192. Your pictures are wonderful! My all time favorite dessert is a chocolate chip cookie-you know the kind that is gooey on the inside and when you pull it apart the chocolate has a tail that you have to capture before you loose it.

  193. Avocadocake! With raspberries on top. And lots of it too, one can never have too much ;) It’s happiness on a plate, and let’s face it, what’s more perfect than that?

  194. Chocolate mousse cake! :)

  195. Peanut Butter Blossom cookies! Yum – a little sweet, a tich of salt, chewy and crunchy, PB & chocolate. No matter what I’m craving these take care of the urge. They are at the top of my comfort food dessert list.

  196. homemade chocolate chip cookies that are chewy and thick. Mmmmm

  197. I would pick apple crisp. I have this obsession with it and have ever since I was pregnant with my son almost six years ago. I could not get enough of it. All day long every day I wanted apple crisp topped with vanilla ice cream. I could have eaten my weight in it.

  198. one dessert for the rest of my life….oh my goodness….what a hard decision and it would have to be something really good….I think I would have to go with Heath Bar Cookies…they are sooooo good and feel so bad when you eat them. All those chunks of buttery toffee goodness. When I feel like being really bad I make a batch or if I only want to be alittle bad I go to the Fresh Market and buy one or two for myself and whichever one of my kids is lucky enough to be with me that day. :)
