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.

Hi there!
I love these mixers and my sister has been dying for one to match her kitchen appliances that are also a cyan/robins egg blue kind of color. I think ice or aqua sky would be the closest color choice. I really would like to get her one and I was wondering where you found these so I can maybe get her one. She recently moved out and I thought it would be a nice house warming gift. :)
Hope to hear back from you!
Best,
Irini
It is very hard to chose my favorite vacation spot as I have several. One that comes to mind though is Lake Leelanau in Michigan. We have gone to a cottage there for almost each of our 24 years of marriage in the summer. Very close to beautiful Lake Michigan, lovely sand dunes, cherry trees, vineyards..just beautiful. favorite color of mixer? Aqua:)
I miss your posts:(

hi
My Favorite place to go on vacation is the carribean island because i love to travel and visit manyn types of cultures and people and try their delicious food and treats. I like the ice pastel one.
My color is Majestic Yellow- to remind me if my favorite vacation SOUTH BEACH MIAMI!!! Not a bakers destination you say?! Untrue- I went to the Miami food and Wine festival, made sum friends from the food network and had French pastries at four different sites. My grandmother lives there in a quaint French community and there’s nothing harder than baking that style. I love the sights smells and tastes. I learned to make chocolate lollipops as a child and this website transformed me into cake pop queen where I’m from. I hope to win so I can reduce prep time and reduce my Popeye arms from hand mixing lol. Misschrissym@yahoo.com

Dear Bakerella,
My favorite thing to do is to Cook and Bake. Having been the breadwinner of my family for most of my life, I have never really been on vacation. Two years ago this coming June I was forced to cut short my employment at just thirty-two years of working for the Postal Service due to a disability that caused me to be unable to walk anymore, so my chances of getting that get-away vacation aren`t looking too pretty. LOL. Still with my partners help we can whip up some pretty mean fixins. My color choice should I win is “ice”. Thank you for considering me.

Whilst I would NEVER change what we did, it was super lovely to get away for 1 week and enjoy one of the best places I’ve ever visited in my life. Love, love, love San Francisco.
My favorite vacation spot is my parents paradise house in Florida on the beach, can’t get better than that!
Obsessing over the Aqua Sky!
