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.

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.
If I had to choose one, and only one dessert to eat for the rest of my life, it would have to be a Guinness chocolate cupcake with a Jameson dark chocolate ganache filling, and a Bailey’s vanilla bean frosting. I made these for my sweetie’s birthday this year, and they were to die for! Now, if only something could make them for me everyday ;)
I love baking and am trying to get my bakery business off of the ground, after a rough year of trials in my own life. This kitchenaid would be a huge help to kick off my business, but I hope whoever gets it, enjoys it to the fullest!
Vanilla bean creme brulee. I order creme brulee anytime I go out…it’s delicious!
I’d eat cranberry orange scones and mango tea.
Creme Brulee!!
It is so hard to choose just one dessert but I guess if I had to it would be Tiramisu.
I would happily eat my mom’s peach pie for the rest of my life :)
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies – delicious!
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies – delicious!
Only one? I would pick made from scratch fuge brownies…mmmmm… yummy!
I would have to say something with chocolate, and I go for chocolate mouse with cream in top.
I would have to say apple pie, love the warm and cozy feeling you get when eating a slice.
Right now I am fixated on a cupcake my friend made for St. Patrick’s Day, but I think I could eat it any/every day… Irish Car-bomb cupcakes – http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/01/car-bomb-cupcakes/ I’m obsessed.
One dessert?? Ah, probably a brownie. I love them oh so much. Or maybe a snickerdoodle….no no, a brownie. Wait, ice cream! Do I have to only pick one flavor???
I think it would have to be a deliciously decadent dark chocolate layer cake. I am a sucker for anything dark chocolate, but this would have to be on the fudge side.
Hershey’s Cherry Cordials
Chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting!
It would definitely be red velvet cake with flour icing. I’d pass it up if it had cream cheese frosting.
super fudgy brownies — with dark chocolate
I would be an oatmeal raisin cookie, they’re everyones fav and such a comfy feeling dessert.
I would eat vanilla ice cream with either a cupcake, brownie, or chocolate chip cookie smooshed in. And not gently folded in, but stirred and smashed until it’s a mushy, slightly melted mess! Mmmmm….now I’m hungry.
I would say anything chocolate but that’s to broad. Soft sugar cookies with nutella filling. Wait, maybe red velvet anything. Ok carrott cake. Final answer tiramisu.
I t was easy to narrow it to 2 -both my mother’s ecipes. One is apricot fried pies and the other is chocolate rolls. But if I am limited to one, the chocolate rolls would win. They are made from scratch with yeast dough. She also made cinnamon ones, but the chocolate always won me over. Biting into those warm rolls and having chocolate roll down my chin is one of my favorite feelings and strongest childhood memories. Yep, definitely her chocolate rolls.
I would definitely choose brownies because you can make them in a lot of different flavors (chocolate, blondies, Peanut butter, butterscotch); you can change the texture- fudgy or cakelike; and you can top it with so many things- turtle brownies, cheesecake brownies, with nuts, without nuts. YUMMMMM
What a hard question! Just one kind?!!! I would need to combine my two biggest loves – chocolate and peanut butter – adding marsmallows – chocolate/peanut butter confetti squares. I have to avoid making them very often cause when I do, I can’t stop sneaking bites of them.
I would eat turkish delight!!
I haven’t made it in a long time, but my favorite is pineapple upside-down cake!
chocolate covered caramel candies
If I could only have one dessert forever it would HAVE to be Chocolate Texas Sheet Cake!! YUM!!!
Hard decision…but probably a smore brownie. The combination of chocolate, marshmellow, and grahm cracker is to die for!
I would forever eat an eclair with vanilla center and chocolate icing/ganache. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Hard to choose just one dessert but I have to go with chocolate! A fudge brownie with chocolate fudge frosting on top. Thanks for the chance to win!!
it would have to be the chocolate chip cookie, but specifically the jacque torres’s secret chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Super chocolate brownies!
A brownie. A simple, , sinful, unpretentious, fun, whimsical brownie. They can be dressed up with nuts and icing, left plain, loaded with chocolate chunks or syrup, streaked with caramel or marshmallow cream… so many possibilites. But for me? A simple brownie made from a great recipe and a glass of milk get me every time.
And as I do not have have a staning mixer, I would love one in ANY color! :)
My homemade chocolate chip cookies would be my one dessert.
If I could only pick one… I would definitely pick the classic chocolate chip brownie. It’s so simple yet delicious too.
Also, thanks for this opportunity. I saw this mixer in your previous post, and I thought it was beautiful, and now I have an opportunity to win it!
I would have a bag of roasted chestnuts, usually available from the Korean grocery store.
Tollhouse chocolate cookies made by my husband.
I guess if I had to choose just one, it would be carrot cake with nuts & crushed pineapple and of course a thick layer of cream cheese frosting!
i would want CHEESECAKE BROWNIES oh my goodness the taste in my mouth YUMM
Whoopie pies. All day every day. Or red velvet cupcakes. But I’m pretty sure it would have to be your good ol’ standard whoopie pie.
O.M.G. nobody can’t settle on one sweet thing…this is the question of question’s. I want to say DONUTS, but how can you left cookies behind, and what about cakes, uggghhhh. COCONUT DONUTS final answer, or not. Anything with sugar will be fine.
Oh man! That is SO TOUGH! I guess I’d probably choose…cake…? Coconut cake?
(Or maybe cherry pie…or key lime pie…)
That’s an awful question ;) How could you make me choose?! The possibilities… but you know, the best dessert that I probably still think about all the time is this amazing chocolate-drizzled Speculoos/Nutella macaron that I had from a bakery in Holland. It was to die for. It must help that I could probably eat those two things out of the jar for the rest of my life :D
Very hard question to answer! So many desserts to choose from, I guess I have to say Creme Brulee. Thanks for the chance to win, love the color!
this looks like an amazing trip. I love Disney! The one dessert that I could never live without and could absolutely eat everyday is home made chocolate pudding.
I know it’s not homemade, but I have to go with moosetracks ice cream.
How can I only pick one? I guess if I have to I would pick flan. I hardly ever get to eat it but when I do I’m in heaven. I wish I had some right now.
My favorite dessert would have to be Tiramisu! It is a special bond I have with my oldest daughter who is now away at college. Every time she has a birthday we have to make it and she now has me hooked on it. I love the process of making it and plan on it becoming a tradition to hand down to my children. I love the taste of the espresso along with the chocolate zabaglione! What a combination!!!
BAKERELLA you are so famous from a cake pop from a book
and that mixer is pretty my mom would love those she LOVES blue and that would look good in her kicthen :-)
Maybe my grandma’s coffee cake. It tastes like christmas/home :)
Ice Cream! Ben and Jerry’s Coffee Heath Bar Crunch!
I think I could eat gingerbread cookies with the home-y feeling and the not over-the-top sweetness. The can be gingerbread men, women, children, houses. I could eat it all! It doesn’t have to be the Holidays to eat gingerbread cookies!
Oh my gosh… Disney! How fun! Also, that Kate Spade clutch looks great in action with you. I’m at college and miss having a Kitchenaid stand mixer so very much… the things I could make with it. Swoon. Anyways, if I absolutely had to limit myself to one dessert for the rest of eternity… I’d have to go with apple pie. It’s my favorite thing to make and eat.
Definitely a brownie. Just a simple, unpretentious brownie. Classic, fun, can be made in cupcake papers of various sizes or in a sheet pan… Wildly diverse in that you can toss a lot of other things in there to up the Yum-factor. Be if it is just one for a lifetime, then a plain ol’ brownie and a glass of milk will get me every time.
nd as I don’t have a standing mixer, I would love one in ANY color :)
I can’t get enough lemon bars. I don’t always have them as much as I’d like to, but there’s something I find really comforting about them. And a layer of powdered sugar on top doesn’t hurt either. :)
I would love to enjoy lemon meringue pie every night for the rest of my life. But the meringue has to be a certain kind with just the correct amount of sugar.
I l-o-v-e your blog and I love making cake pops!!!
Thanks for having such awesome giveaways!!!!
i would choose brownies with ice cream with a little caramel at the top and banana OH MAN SO TASTY !!!!
My ultimate favorite dessert is definitely tres leche! It’s so delicious.
If i had to choose something to eat for the rest of my life, it would be my all time favorite German chocolate cake. There’s nothing better than the tart cocoa flavor along with sweet coconut flakes and that pecan crunch just makes my mouth water!
Hmm… Only one dessert for the rest of my life? How about cookies and cream cheesecake with a chocolate chip cookie crust, raspberry swirl and topped with rich chocolate ganache and whipped cream!
Probably sugar cookies … I just can’t seem to get enough of them!
My Grandmothers Lemon Meringue Pie. The perfect balance of sweet and tart. Not too much Meringue and a crust oh so flakey. This Pie would melt in your mouth without chewing and one bit woule transport you back to summer no matter what time of year.
Batter of any kind… Cake batter, brownie batter, muffin batter… Love it!
Sour cream chocolate chip banana cake!!!!!
Chocolate chip cookies … tried and true, best when dunked, and great to make memories with family and friends!
If I had to pick one.. I would choose a cheesecake with all kind of berries :)
coconut cake for sure!!
Homemade Original Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies
And not gain any weight??? I would totally choose oatmeal pie. It is to die for! Lots of eggs, butter, and oats. Yummy yummy in my tummy!
Lemon bars foreverrrr!
I’d have to pick my gluten-free chocolate and almond cake! It’s very rich, delicious and satisfying :)
Milk Chocolate!
Vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, it would have to be angel food cake stuffed with a mixture of whipped cream and fruit. My grandmother makes it and it is so light and delicious! It is by far my favorite dessert <3
Generally I prefer ice cream or a good (homemade by me) chocolate chip cookie over most things . . . but for fancy dessert I’d definitely have to go with Tiramisu. Yum.
My favorite dessert is apple charlot that my mother made with toast, stewed apples or apple sauce and lots of cinnamon. It was warm on cold evenings and spicy on cool evenings. So good.
I’m in love with classics, with a twist. Whether it be clothing, books, or dessert (especially dessert). One of my favourite desserts was made for my 20th birthday. I was a classic chocolate chocolate chip cake but with the addition of Bailey’s which added a deliciously moist kick to the cake. The best part was the icing (buttercream) that was a bright pink and read HAPPEE BIRTHDAE AZRA in green icing just like Hagrid’s cake for Harry! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-61lOn3Dc8cU/Tiblsfcky0I/AAAAAAAACms/lY1cjCWW8ZM/s400/HagridBirthdayCake.jpg
I would definitely choose Sweet Potato Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Marshmallow frosting! Doesn’t that just make you DROOOOOOL?! :D
Nothing would make me happier than to win this!! Well, aside from a lifetime of cherry crumb cobbler! So delicious… if only there was a way to make a calorie-free version. :)
Banana pudding CAKE! It’s like banana pudding but baked with the Vanilla Wafers inside. I don’t like bananas any other way except in this!
Oh seriously? We can only pick one?! This is aweful! I would have to say as of right now…I would pick lactose free brownies….and NO they are not discusting! They just don’t have butter or milk in them and are delicious-ness in my mouth! Oh so joyful! I love them even more when baked in a little squares so I can have two and feel good about having that many to fullfill my craving!
Now I need to go make some! Thanks alot!
So very hard!! ;-) It would have to be a very good chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting. …that is the one dessert I can never resist!
The blue ROCKS on the KitchenAid!!! Good luck everyone!
One dessert? My Big Mama’s recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread. You can add walnuts – or not. You can eat it for dessert, or in a pinch, breakfast!
Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies (love the recipe from Our Best Bites)
So hard to pick just one, but if I had to, I guess it would be ice cream!
I would have to choose a lemon poppy seed cake with a coconut filling and a cream cheese frosting!
triple chocolate cream cake :)
Chocolate pie. Hands down.
DEFINITELY Raspberry Cheesecake
If I could I would eat Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies everyday.
I love the mouth feel of them as well as the flavor. They just scream “COMFORT!”
I would pick mint brownies–yum!
I would go with raw cookie dough. So yummy!
Brownies!
that’s an easy one…chocolate eclair with fresh cream filling :)
I’ve been thinking for about 10 minutes about which dessert I would choose if I could only have one for the rest of my life. After some tough deliberation, I’ve narrowed it down to chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. I could make plenty of chocolate cake with that lovely new mixer!
The classic chocolate chip cookie!
aw man, that’s such a cruel question! hmm if i absolutely had to only eat ONE dessert for the rest of my life it would be tiramisu cake
could absolutely not live without peanut butter and jelly cookie bars. seriously. it’s like being a kid all over again! minus the high metabolism part.
Such a hard question! If I had to choose, I’d have to go with a family recipe of yellow pound cake – moist, fluffy, and mm mmm good!
Ahh! That’s such a hard question. Probably sugar cookies (soft) with frosting and cute colored sprinkles. I’ll take those anytime. :D
That blender is beautifullllllll. The color?
Thanks (:
Oreo Blizzard!!
Ok…. If I could only choose ONE dessert, it would definitely be Black Bottom Cupcakes with chocolate Ganache topping… Can you say chocolate OVERLOAD? I would need this mixer just to mix all that cream cheese :•)
my mom’s strawberry rhubarb pie. :-)
I would go for chocolate mousse pie…. it’s got a bonus for being chocolate and having whipped cream… but it’s also light and fluffy so it doesn’t weigh you down. not to mention, it’s great with fresh fruit or more chocolate!
I would eat these perfect Dark Chocolate and Toasted Pecan Cookies with Browned Butter. They are the perfect combination of crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside with gooey chocolate and toasty pecans and slightly salty. I had a difficult time letting myself post them to my blog because they are THAT good. But I figured I needed to quit being selfish and share them with the world :) http://bakerbettie.com/2012/02/16/dark-chocolate-and-toasted-pecan-cookies-with-browned-butter/
My favorite dessert is cheesecake! You can’t beat a good cheesecake and you can do so many different things with it. From a pumpkin cheesecake, to an Oreo…so many options.
This color is darling and
That’s probably one of the most difficult questions I’ve ever been asked! I’ll say Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
Love ur site! And I really love the blue kitchen aid!
I would eat vanilla ice cream with warm brownie and hot fudge drizzled over it. A strawberry or two would finish it off perfectly!
Plain cheesecake (yes, I’m a stick to the basics kind of girl!) with peanut butter topping! So good.
Tuxedo cake! Hands down! :)
I would probably go with a really good rich, homemade eclair. Definitely NOT the store-bought kind! It would have to be homemade.
Chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting!
Chocolate cream cheese swirl brownies. Yum!
WOW! Check out all of these comments! Reckon the blue is a really popular color LOL I too would love to win. My all time favorite dessert would be a Caramel Butter Pecan Cheesecake. Can’t live without it. :) Good luck to everyone and than you for the opportunity to win such a gorgeous KitchenAid!
That’s hard since I love sweet things…but if I had to choose it would be a creamy, luscious vanilla bean cream puff dipped in hard caramel. The contrast of the soft puff and sweet filling with the crispy caramel shell is heaven.
I LOVE CHEESECAKE and not just any, it has a pool of caramel in the center, BIG chcolate shards surrounding the edges and an oreo cookie crust.
Oh my gosh. If I could only pick one I think it would have to be salted caramel butter bars. So amazing!
I would eat pretzel crusted turtle brownies everyday if I could… although I would have to run a marathon after, to keep it off:)
Sweet giveaway! If I could only eat one dessert it would be turtle cheesecake with plenty of caramel and whipped cream.
Oh, what a difficult question you’ve asked :) I think it would be, it should be cream cheese tart with strawberries, sweet, but not too much and this refreshing taste of strawberries, heaven :)
oh, how i wish random would work for me this time:P althoug, i’m not even sure if this could be sent to Europe? Kitchen Aid is my dream for long time now, but in Poland it’s now very popular and the price is bit high, too high.
The most important: I loooove your blog, don’t know how you can create such beautiful and for sure delicious things.
Good luck with everything! :)
Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!
This is such a difficult decision but I think I would have to choose banana pudding! :) At least then I can pretend like it’s healthy since it has fruit and dairy! And that blue KitchenAid is the most perfect color blue ever!!!! :) :) :)
Bakerella, this is a hard decision…. But, I think I would choose warm and gooey chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven. Nothing brings comfort and a feeling of home like they do!
I would eat 60% dark chocolate. I know its not techinally a dessert, per say, but it is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Of course it would be Ghiradelli chocolate. What other chocolate is there?
Chocolate cheesecake with whipped cream topping! Yum!
That is such an awesome kitchen aid! Anyway…I would be quite content to eat cinnamon fried ice cream (vanilla) with caramel, fudge, and whipped cream on top. YUMMMY!!!
Probably Turkish Delight. I know I’ve only had it once, but I can’t seem to forget how delicious it tasted and I want more.
Pumpkin Pie!!! Especially with a quickly melting pile of vanilla ice cream on top. I get this from my dad; as kids, my brother and I would always make a birthday pumpkin pie for him! Of course, I know you don’t need a stand mixer to make punky pie but it’d sure be nice to have one :)
I would have to pick chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream!
It would have to be Red Velvet Cheesecake with Cream Cheese filling and White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting…….I’m drooling just thinking about it……yum yum yum!!!
I think it would be pie. And if I had to choose just one pie it would be cherry, maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. That still counts as one dessert, right?
Hmm, the dessert i would eat is a chocolate chip cookie. the ones that come out of the oven on a chilly winter day ;) i never get bored of them. so goooood~~~~
I wish I would have known about this! I might have tried to crash it! I live here in Orlando! Disney always does things first class…;)
My mother was not much of a baker, but one thing she does incredibly well is Raspberry Pretzel Salad!! I could definitely eat that forever…
red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting
Christmas cake with mature cheddar cheese….scrummy :-)
Chocolate chip gelato from Gelato Paradiso in Newport Beach, CA.
If you are ever in CA give me a buzz. We can go and get some Gelato Paradiso together then head next door to Sprinkles Cupcakes!! My treat!!
Happy Monday!!
Wow – that is a tough question! It would have to be something chocolatey – probably chocolate mousse, because it is super easy to make (Elizabeth David’s recipe) and is always a hit!
My dessert would have to be the good ‘ol chocolate chip cookie. Especially when it just comes out of the oven. OOOOHHHH the smell and then the taste….delicious.
I love my warm cinnamon buns with cooked icing and truth to tell, everyone who has experienced this wonderful gastronomical sensation, loves them, too! Bring them on with a steamy cup of coffee!
Homemade tiramisu! Its heaven with every bite :)
This was such a hard decision, but I would most definately have to choose glazed donuts…and kind the donut hole the regular donut or even the twisty ones, I can’t get enough of them. :)
I’d say ice cream in general but if I have to pick just one specific thing I’d go all out and have a fully loaded banana split!!! mmmmmm :)
Rocky Road Ice Cream!
I grew up in Australia, so I have to go with a pavlova with passionfruit topping – I haven’t had a real one in 10 years and miss them so much!
I would so definitely eat custard flan with that caramel sauce for the rest of my life–willingly too. Delish!
Cheesecake – love it. I could definitely eat it any time of day and I like it plain best :)
I am in love with the new dark chocolate Peepsters. Yum in a tiny package just like your cake balls. Too bad they only appear at Easter!!
Chocolate chip cookie. My mom’s are the best, but even a bad one is good! :)
This one had me thinking…I have to go with carrot cake with (heavy-handed) cream cheese frosting. Absolutely my fav. Makes my mouth water just thinking of it.
I would eat carrot cake!!!!
I love all desserts but I could not live without jello! Simple but totally overlooked!!
Turkey Hill brand Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. Green and minty but not overpowering. The chocolate is actually chocolate shavings and not hard chips.
Wow! What a great color! I would have to pick loaded carrot cake cupcakes. They have everything I love in them and they are so satisfying.
I’m kind of boring, but I would have to go with plain ol’ vanilla ice cream. It’s my favorite flavor and there’s nothing better than a bowl of vanilla ice cream on a hot, summer day. :-)
My very-favorite dessert…if I could eat only one sweet thing for all of eternity…Irish Cream Tiramisu!
That blue Kitchen Aid is gorgeous! Seeing all the Kitchen Aid colors lined up is absolutely uh-may-zing.
I would have the rest of my life be filled with mint chocolate chip ice cream…in a waffle cone! ^_^
Ice cream, hands down. Especially anything with mint and chocolate in it…
Chocolate Honeycomb. In Australia they called it Victoria candybars. I’m not Aussie. Just found that out one day. We used to buy chunks of it at Sears. Its marvelous.
I have a great lemon bar recipe and I would choose it. Yum.
Mmm…brownies.
I love brownies. It’s almost impossible to choose just one. I will for the chance to win a mixer…but in reality, there is no way I can choose just one. :) Glad you had a good time this past weekend. :)
One dessert would definately have to be oreo truffles, they are just mouthwatering!
So, I don’t know why but this didn’t take from my phone…my favorite is my mother’s rhubarb pie! A close second is Blue Bell mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Also, I love the blue and the apple green…saw them on QVC about a month ago and couldn’t decide which one. I’ve wanted one for a long time now…
That is a hard one to answer! I’d have to say buttermilk pie because it is just so damn good! That is one dessert that I cannot pass on, and one that I never want to share. Love it!
red velvet cake waffles with a cream cheese syrup!
I would have a hard time chosing between chocolate with chocolate icing, or German Chocolate, must have pecan and cocount icing though. :D Anything chocolate though!!
oooh what a tough choice!! so many delicious choices… between NYC cheesecake, or banana bread, or rocky road brownies, or ben & jerry’s ice cream… i think my final choice has to be peanut butter cookies! they’re my lifelong favorite!
I could survive for the rest of my life on the iced shortbread cookies that my Nammy taught me to make! And I would give anything to win a Kitchenaid mixer, let alone this beautiful blue one!
baklava for life!
My favorite dessert is fresh homemade apple crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Thanks for hosting this contest. Love your blog!
Classic New York Cheesecake.
Mine is a cake actually, spice cake and dark chocolate with an irish cream frosting, it can either be half and half or marbled,.
If I had to eat just one dessert for the rest of my life it would be the chocolate melting pot cake dessert that they serve on Carnival Cruises! I just love how sweet and warm the chocolate filling is!!
The rest of my life would probably be filled with New York styled cheesecake…can’t get enough!!
red velvet whoopie pies!!
Probably Cheesecake. I love it just about anyway it can be made. But Dulce De Leche is from Cheesecake factory is devine. BUT my Mom made a refrigerator pie with graham cracker crust, cream cheese type filling and blueberry pie filling as the topping with whipped cream…..growing up I always thought of it as Cheesecake….I would eat this everyday of my life if I could. It’s the nostalgia thang!!! Florida looked fun and fabulous…so glad you had a good time!!!!
Ooooo, that’s so hard! I think I’d have to go with a cookie. Definitely a browned butter cookie, as simple as just nuts or chocolate chips, or as crazy as toasted nuts, pretzels, white chocolate chips, chocolate chips, oats, and more!
And now I desperately want to make cookies. AUGH.
If i could only eat one sweet for the rest of my life, IT WOULD BE NUTELLA. That way, I can have it all by itself if I want something sweet, but if I’m feeling like some good carbs too, I can just spread it on some yummy bread or something. :)
It’s the perfect sweet treat!
I would want anything with ganache!!
I would have to go with a gooey brownie. It would be ultimate if I had ice cream on top, but does that count as 2 desserts?
I love that blue mixer!!!
I can’t NOT have potato chips. So, potato chips!
If I had to eat one sweet for the rest of my life, It would have to be chocolate cake. (Death by chocolate cake anyone?) You can do dark chocolate, milk chocolate…devils food..because even “alright” chocolate cake…is still chocolate cake. And I can never get enough frosting..or ganache. Oh ganache.
…Now I have to go bake one. It would be easier with a gorgeous mixer!
I would definitely pick my apple pie. what can i say i am a pie fanatic……… if you give me anything in pie form i will eat it :)
That’s HARD! I would probably choose the texas sheet cake that my mom always made when I was growing up. It’s delicious and chocolatey and it makes me think of happy times with people I love. I make it for my family now and everyone always loves it.
peanut butter balls!!!
Well, cheesecake seems to be a popular choice, and I hate to go with popular, but it’s my choice as well. But the “old-fashioned” creamy kind rather than New York style. No toppings. Just plain, unadulterated, creamy cheesecake.
If I could have only one dessert for the rest of my life it would be french silk pie. You get everything, slightly salty from the crust, deep chocolate from the mousse and creamy whipped from the topping…yum! I need one right now:)
Chocolate chip cookies! I will love them forever and ever. And there are so many different great recipes, and ways to make them… I made an awesome one-pan skillet chocolate chip cookie recipe the other day, and it’s a definite keeper.
I love cheesecake especially my coconut lime cheesecake. Love love love. By the way, what a prize. A new KitchenAid mixer. Good luck everyone.
banana nutella crepes. Homemade of course. With whipped cream on top. And strawberries.
or my mom’s blueberry pie, cooked over a campfire.
Gluten free red velvet cake balls with cream cheese icing covered with white chocolate!
It would totally be an adzuki cream puff that is sold by a local bakery!
It would definitely be my mothers Sour Cream Cookies..!! Light, Melt in Your Mouth jewels with a light glaze of powdered sugar frosting . I remember helping her make these when I was 12 years old when I first got interested in cooking/baking. I still make these 54 years later, but only on special occasions because they so hard to resist..!! Cheers…
Russian Tea Biscuits – they’re the perfect mix between a scone and a cookie, and go great with a cup of coffee. Yum.
I love peanut caramel apples. The apple is slightly sour, the caramel is sweet and the peanuts are salty. It’s like the perfect food!
Nice giveaway. Love the flowers in your post!
I think that I would have to choose rhubarb cobbler with vanilla ice cream of course.
Holy smokes! What a give-awaY!!
I would live off of ….. Rev Velvet Cake …. from Fast Eddie’s in Tok, Alaska …. They make it homemade – about 5 layers – the perfect combo of chocolate and red dye to …. die for! And the icing …. a wonderful mix of sugar and cream cheese … and not too much – just enough to be perfect!
(Sadly, since it’s location, it’s not an easy piece of cake to get)
wow.. that is such a hard question. i think i might go with macarons. pistachio flavored ones with a white chocolate raspberry ganache filling. i’m in loveee with them!
