I’ve been in spring break mode lately. You might have noticed since I didn’t bake last weekend. I think it’s because I recently went on a vacation which I haven’t done in a couple of years and it felt awesome to just relax and do nothing. And now being back home I can’t stop enjoying the warmth that’s finally taking over. Spring is probably my favorite time of the year. Unfortunately, in the south, you only have about seven minutes to enjoy the season before the hot and humid heat of summer takes over. Okay, okay – I’m exaggerating a little. It probably lasts eleven minutes. ; ) So you’ve got to enjoy all of them while they last. And I’m trying.
Got Spring Fever, too? Take a break with me and enter this sweet Spring Bake Giveaway for a chance to win a KitchenAid Stand Mixer… in one of the following pastel colors. Plus a white and silver choice in case springy isn’t your speed. Me? I have the pink one, but man, that aqua sky is calling my name. And the ice and crystal blue. too. I’m glad I don’t have to choose.

This time of year it is still quite chilly and all I can think about is some warm beach – Hawaiian, Tahiti or perhaps Bali. Of course, We can maybe afford the California coast, but even that sounds wonderful. Aqua sky is calling to me.
Love the Aqua Sky color – it reminds me of my favorite place to vacation (any where that’s warm with sunny skies and white sandy beaches).
It has been soooo long that I would have to Google the word “vacation” to remind myself what it was!
I love all the pastel colors but spring-ish to me would be the Majestic Yellow, sunny and bright!

I love Hawaii. And I think I’m going with Pistachio. I love it as a flavor and I do enjoy that green…..
As of now, my favorite place to vacation is back home. I’ve been living in Italy and currently in the process of moving back to Minnesota. I love being with my Mom, friends & fam & cherish every moment. With the move coming up & needing to change all of our electrical appliances, that Aqua Sky is catching my eye!
My favorite place to vacation is–well–kind of a weird answer…within the pages of one of my many cookbooks..just making a mental list of the recipes I want to try before I die. That truly is my favorite escape.
I think the silver metallic would go best in my kitchen!
Wells, Maine!
I would choose pistachio as my first choice and pink as a second choice.
I love the pink color. I love going where there is water… lakes, oceans, bays. As long as I am by the water I am happy.
My favorite place I’ve traveled is anywhere with family or friends. I don’t think I have a favorite place, because it’s the people that make it special!
Oh and the aqua sky is calling my name too ;)
Is relaxing on a beach too cliche? Any time spent on or around a beach instantly sends all of my stress running in the other direction. So does that pink stand mixer, and all the baking I would do with it. :)
Disney is my favorite place to vacation!! and we will be going for halloween this year!! my second place is Vancouver bc!!! I would pick PINK!! my favorite colour!!
My favorite place to go is anywhere involving a beach/shore. It doesn’t have to include the ocean, I love the river just as much. The sound of water crashing or running is so soothing to me.

I love going to Venice. Or anywhere in Italy. :) And I’d take the silver because it goes with everything!
My favorite place to go during vacation is Disneyland, the happiest place on earth.
