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.

IMG_9663

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.

  5. Without any doubts, Dulce de leche ice cream. So yummy :)

  6. I think it would have to be chocolate chunk brownies…well, maybe a chocolate chunk brownie ice cream sundae =)

  7. How do I choose!!?? I’d probably have to say some sort of decadent chocolate brownie, made with the best chocolate, with milk and white chunks of chocolate throughout …..yummmmmmmm!

  8. my gran’s homemade tiffin i can’t live without it!

  9. Creme brûlée – there’s just something about a blow torch in the kitchen that speaks to my wild side! Great blog this week, Angie….love to experience all your sweet adventures.

  10. Cheesecake Brownies for sure! So rich and delicious!

  11. My fav sweet tooth craving would be Gulab Jamun. It’s an Indian dessert that is fried, soaked in sweet goodness then eaten.

    I don’t have it often possibly once or twice per year but when I do I enjoy it with a cup of hot tea and I am good to go!

    Best wishes and happy thoughts.

  12. I think I have to go with a chewy chocolate chip cookie…. But I am glad I don’t actually have to give up everything else!

  13. I have such a sweet tooth it would be SOOOOOOOOO hard to pick just one but it would probably have to be a super moist chocolate cake with TONS of buttercream frosting on it!! UMMMM….makes me wants some right now! :o)

  14. I have found my new love, French macracoons with chocolate ganache. Enough to make me happy the rest of my life. Not to mention a blue Kitchenaid!!

  15. love, love, love these new colors! One desert forever seems completely irrational (LOL) but if forcesd to make a choice I’d have to say coffee ice cream, in a sugar cone with nonpareils sprinkled on top!

  16. Hello if I can participate (I’m from France), I would say “Pain d’Epices” ! It’s so delicious with the mix of honey and the spices. It’s also not too fat ! Perfect !

  17. Hmmmmmm…that is a hard question…. and it would be Lemon in it… but Sorbet or Tarte…. So I would go for…and only this one for ever???… so let it be the Sorbet. Yes it would be Lemon Sorbet for ever! :)

  18. red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing …. lots and lots ans lots of cream cheese icing :)

  19. I would love to eat for the rest of my life only chocolate mousse cake, especially with dark chocolate.

  20. My choice would be Frozen Peanut Butter cheesecake with hot chocolate sauce – delicious!

  21. Chocolate creme brulee :)

  22. If I had to choose one dessert…… It was have to be (wow this is very difficult) an upside down Dutch apple Pie drizzled with a warm Carmel sauce…… It melts in your mouth and disappears so quickly!!!!

    Thank you for the opportunity to win that beautiful mixer!!!!

  23. Today is my birthday…. hmmmm what would I choose? Banana Pudding, Cheesecake, and Brownies topped with some Vanilla Bean ice cream are just a few of my favorites!

  24. First off, what an awesome conference to go to! Looks like a blast. And Crystal Blue is probably the prettiest Kitchenaid colour to date.

    If I could only have ONE dessert for the rest of my life (yikes!), it would have to be lemon meringue pie. I’ve had too many good ones to give it up completely.

  25. CHEESECAKE BROWNIES (no nuts). Can’t go wrong with combo of my two favorite desserts! Great pics btw!

  26. I’d have my granny’s Dutch applepie. With vanillacream on top. Just because it’s so delicious but mostly to keep her spirit and my youthmemories alive.

  27. Baked New York cheesecake with cherry sauce. Yum, yum, yum!

  28. If I could only eat one kind of sweet I would go, without a doubt, with carrot cake, just soo good! I think that I could never get tired of it!!!

  29. Well, I’m 8 months pregnant with my first, so my answer could change at the drop of a hat. For now, though, here’s my answer. If I could only have one dessert for the rest of my life, it’d have to be my wildberry muffins (my own recipe!). It may not sound like dessert, but I think it qualifies! After all, muffins are just cupcakes we justify in the morning because they don’t have frosting! (YUM!)

    I hope I win!!!! I’ve been wanting this mixer and how cool if I won it in such a cool color (and right when I’m about to bring a sweet little boy into the world? Maybe it’s destiny!)? And only 6 weeks before my birthday?!? The big 3-0! I know the winner will be drawn at random….but is there any harm in putting the vibes out there for why I want it so bad? :-)

  30. if im going to die soon and would pick a dessert before i die ill definetly pick classic vanilla cheesecake! uhm yumm! =)

  31. My favorite..which is a chocolate cake with white chocolate mousse and sliced strawberries, drizzled with a little chocolate ganache :)

  32. I think i would have to go with a brownie sundae. Nothing beats a warm brownie and ice cream!

  33. Tiramisu my favorite!!!!!

  34. If I could only pick one thing, it would probably have to be my roommate’s homemade apple pie, fresh from the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is honestly the best pie I have had. So delicious! (Mom, yours is great too!)

  35. So jealous that you got to Disneyworld! It’s on my to do list.

    One dessert for the rest of forever would have to be Lemon Meringue Pie!! Tart and sweet and perfect pastry. Yummmm. X

  36. My sisters sour cream cheesecake! If only I had gotten her flare for baking! I’d be all set!!

  37. If I had to only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, I’d make it Chocolate Mousse :)

    Thanks for the chance to win! The Crystal Blue color is just amazing!

  38. Just one dessert for the rest of my life??? Hm… it would have to be moose tracks ice cream!

  40. Pecan Pie, definitely Pecan Pie :D

  41. Cookie dough cheesecake!

  42. Coconut brownies topped with homemade coconut icecream and bananna slices yummmm! I love your blog!

  43. Boring I know, but chocolate pudding and real whipped cream. Not the instant kind of pudding, but Jello cook and serve pudding! Growing up my mother never ate anything with sugar, she never baked so treats in our house was ice cream, chip ahoy cookies or pudding.

  44. Hands down cinnemonbuns :)

  45. I’d pick the first thing I ever learned to make on my Mom’s avocado green kitchen aid mixer circa 1975–an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. I can’t pick it as my one and only favorite, but it is something I could eat every day. :)

  51. If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, it would be, hands down, pumpkin pie. God, that’s good stuff!

  52. If I could eat only one dessert, it would have to be my sister’s Amaretto Cheesecake. It is the creamiest on the planet and I could never grow tired of it. Although I may grow out of everything else! :)

  53. Only one desert? Say it ain’t so! It would have to be a gooey layered chocolate cake. You know what I meant, sinfully rich and decadent.

  54. Rice Krispy treats. Because I love marshmallows!!! And like cupcakes, they can be decorated to fit any occasion.

  55. That’s a tough decision! I guess I’d go with carrot cake. I’d be allowed to pimp it with different frostings, wouldn’t I? :-)

  56. Hard to choose only one but it would have to be my Flan.
    Slightly sweet, creamy and just delicious!

  57. I’d probably have to say chocolate chip cookies or cheesecake with cherries on top! Or Krispy Kreme cream-filled chocolate covered donuts! It would be really hard to choose!

  58. It would have to be Godiva chocolate cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. Yuuuuuuum!

  59. Apple Crumble with Vanilla ice cream ! Yummo :)

  60. Chocolate cake! CHocolate icing!!

  63. My mom’s apple pie – hands down! She used to make my brother and I are “own” little pies growing up just because… she is so awesome! =)

  64. Chocolate Wacky cake with thick dark chocolate ganache is my all time favorite :)
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  65. Cheesecake! White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake to be exact. It is absolutely delectable. There’s nothing it couldn’t cure. But one of my all time favorite & weakness is Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies. They’re quick, easy, cheap, peanut butter, what more do you need? I’m mostly likely to make these and eat the entire batch seeing as that’s still less damaging than one slice of cheesecake.

  66. I got tired of entering these give-aways because I never win.how ever,I love love love the kitchenaid mixer and I have decided to enter this one with my fingers crossed,hopefully,it might be my turn this time around *wide grin*.
    If I could eat just one dessert for the rest of my life,it would have to be a double chocolate,chocolate-chip cake covered in more chocolate ganache,that’s just heaven on a plate

  67. It would have to be chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. Nothing else satisfies my sweet tooth more.

  68. Home made honey and cinnamon ice cream

  69. Mmm Creme Brulee in any flavour variation for sure!

  70. Tough Question!!!
    I am a lover of all things sweet but I’d have to pick a super simple, yet hard to find…. Classic sugar cookie! Big not small, Flat not mounded, the kind that wants to flop over when you pick it up! Mmmm mouth is watering just thinking about them!!

  71. For me it would be M & M Cookies and for my husband it would be Pinapple Upside Cake!

  72. I have a recipe that is so good. It is four layers. The first is a pecan flour crust, then cream cheese layer, then chocolate pudding layer, then cool whip. It is so good.

  73. Home-made honey and cinnamon ice cream

  74. My new favourite: A piece of

    Chocolate Butter Cake with vanilla flavored Italian Meringue Buttercream and Ganache.
    yyyuuummmmy.
    Kind regards from Germany

  75. Wow what a great give away, thanks for this chance! Hard to choose just one dessert….But I think I choose lemon curd cake. I love the freshness of the lemon and it gives me such an amazing spring and summer feeling. Heavenly!

  76. My grandmother’s red velvet cake. She has given the recipe to several people and none of us make it quite as yummy as she does.

  77. Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge brownies. I’ve never met a homemade brownie that I liked better.

  78. My dessert would be Tiramisu. It is the perfect mixture of some of my favorite flavours: chocolate, coffe and mascarpone. Yummie!!! :)

  79. OMG. Chocolate chip cookies! Warm, gooey, chewy, chocolaty cookies with a cold glass of milk!

    What a beautiful Carolina Blue mixer! Sweet!

  80. Cool color! My choice of sweet would have to be mint chocolate chip ice cream with homemade hot fudge sauce. It’s always my go-to favorite.

  81. I would pick something that had a mixture of a few of my favourite things. That way I could pick and choose at my favourite, depending on mood. After all – it’s the only dessert I could have for the rest of my life, right? Sooo… I would say, a Baskin Robbins ‘Peanut Butter & Chocolate’ banana royale topped with chocolate chip cookie crumbles, marshmallows and a cherry lollipop. Over the top? …perhaps.

  82. Sweet Potato Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting! Love love love this cake!

  83. Chocolate cake. Just regular delicious amazing sweet chocolate cake!!

  84. Spumoni ice cream.

  85. I shared a chocolate raspberry souffle with my family today! If I could have that everyday with the people I love, I would be the happiest girl alive!

  86. Berry Cheesecake! With cream :) Yumm

  87. 100% White chocolate brownies warmed with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce!!! Oh geez, now I know what I’m doing tonight!
    That color is gorgeous btw!

  88. If I can only one dessert for the rest of my life it would definitely be lemon sorbet!

  89. If I should choose the one dessert I would eat for the rest of my life, it would be something we call “lagkage” i Denmark. A homebaked vanillacake in three or more layers (ca. 1 inch high each) with all kinds of summerfruits mixed in wiped cream and chunky chocolate plus just a bit vanilla in between the layers. Wiped cream on the side to cover the edges and glaze on top. Best cake ever! And you can vary it in so many ways, that you would never get tired of it.

  90. That is such a tough question… I guess I would have to go with chocolate chip cookies, classical recipe with browned butter.

  91. Spumoni ice cream!!

  92. Oh gosh, only one dessert for the rest of my life? Several ideas went through my mind, chocolate cake, no, maybe chocolate chip cookies? What about vanilla cupcakes? I think it would have to be chocolate chip cookies!! Yum!

  93. I will choose “Kuih dadar” (Sweet Nonya Pancake Roll) http://allrecipes.asia/recipe/2259/kueh-dadar—sweet-nonya-pancake-roll-.aspx
    Kuih dadar is a rolled crepe flavored with pandan juice and filled with grated coconut steeped in gula melaka or Indonesia palm sugar. Pandan leaf is the core ingredient of this kuih dadar. Simple, sweet, yummy yet a great companion with tea for tea break :D

  94. My dessert would definitely have to be caremal peppermint pudding its a cape town favourite!love ur blog tried out lots of ur recipe can b a bit tricky mainly because we don’t have lots of da this over here in south Africa!

  95. Chocolate bonbons because I can customize them. A second close is cheesecake for the same reason. I’m drooling over this mixer!!!!

  96. My could eat for the rest of my life dessert would have to be pink frosted donuts from dunkin donuts. I just can’t resist them- so yummy!!!

    And I love the blue of this kitchen aid- hope I get it!

    xoxo

  97. If I can only one desert for the rest of my life it would definitely be lemon sorbet!

  98. Simple chocolate chip cookies. I’m eating fructose free at the moment, in support of my husband and that is the treat I’m really really missing.

  99. 100% White chocolate brownies! Warmed with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce!!! Oh geez, now I know what I’m doing tonight! That color is gorgeous btw!

  100. Rice crispie treats…but of course I would have to make different variations of them since I hopefully have at least 40 or so years left. : )

    In fact, if you happen to know an excellent recipe for this please share!! :)

  103. If I could only eat one thing it would maybe have to be homemade Samoa cookies!

  104. Plain, classic brownies. No fillers (such as caramel, chunks of chocolate making them extra gooey, nuts, etc). And definitely no frosting. Just a little powdered sugar dusted over the top. :)

  105. If I could only eat one kind of dessert for the rest of my life, I think it would be a lovely rich banoffee pie..! Loads of banana in there and some melted chocolate drizzled on top…. Jum!

    Although it would definately be torture if I can’t have any other desserts anymore!! What about the ice cream, chocolate mousse, cupcakes, pies… ;-)

  106. I would have to choose a dried cherry, chocolate chunk cookie that I make. It is so addicting!

  107. If I had to choose one kind of dessert to eat for the rest of my life, it would definitely be a coconut ice cream.. Just the perfect amount of sweetness!!
    Love your website bakerella!

  108. Oh my, that is a beauty!
    One sweet….White Chocolate Chip Blondies, definitely blondies!
    Thanks for the chance to win.

  109. Definitely Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae!

  110. Probably Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. As much as i love tons of other goodies i love cookie dough! its a weakness!

  111. One dessert :) I’m actually kind of happy as long as i can bake them, doesn’t really have to eat them, but think it got to be a light and fluffy chocolate cake with peppermint frosting, sweet decadent and still a bit fresh :)

  112. I think I could eat chocolate chip cookies, every day! But birthday cake would come in really close! I LOVE the new blue color! Winning it would make my day! Love you guys!

  113. If I could have one sweet.. I would probably choose Angel Food Cake! :) With fruit toppings! Yummy!

  114. Hmmm… if i have to chose a dessert? There’s so much to chose from! I LOVE dessert, even though we don’t eat it any more since I’ve been sick haha… I’d say sea salt, chocolate and caramel ice cream :) it’s my favorite! Best wishes Bakerella! :)
    -Angel xxx

  116. It will be, without a doubt, my mom’s creme brûlée! She makes it sweet enough for me and with a nice crusty top. I will love to eat this everyday forever! I’m craving one right this instant……dang.

  117. Ghiardelli brownies with a scoop of breyers vanilla bean ice cream with a drizzle of chocolate ganache and caramel. How a about a little homemade whipped cream and a cherry too!

  118. Can’t ever get enough of Tiramisu!! <3 tiramisu!

  119. Only one dessert would be ridiculously tough, but I think it would have to be the thumbprint cookies my great grandmother used to make, rolled with walnuts and filled with black raspberry jam. Delicious!!

  120. Wow – one dessert for the rest of my life. That’s a hard decision to make. I’d probably have to go with cheesecake.

  121. I would choose milk chocolate birthday cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes. Yum!

  122. ahh!! if i absolutely had to pick one thing…. fruit tarts!

  123. Wow, this is a BIG question. I have made my choice, however, and I’m going with cookies & cream flavoured ice cream :D

  124. iokay….. lets be raisonnable…. i want the pink, the red, the orange, the blue, the purple, the green… did i say the blue one??

  125. a panacotta cranberry almond cheesecake with a hint of cinnamon! best cheesecake i have ever tasted :)

  126. Hands down, it would have to be cheese cake and if I had to chose a flavor other than plain, it would be lemon.

  127. It would definitely be homemade creme brulee!! :D

  128. Lemon meringue pie!!!!
    Tart gooey lemony goodness with white fluffy sugary clouds of meringue on a buttery crumbly base….what more could a girl ask for!!!!….besides a kitchen aid of course!!!

  129. Hmmm…. My stomach says onde-onde. It is made of sweet potato with palm sugar filling, coated with coconut flesh.

  130. That’s a tough question. I think I’d have to say plain cheesecake. That’s what I’d pick.

  131. matcha ice cream with azuki beans!

  132. I would have to say, PAVLOVA! With heaps of whipped cream, freshly sliced bananas, strawberries and kiwi fruit, dizzled with passionfruit pulp. Yum, a great Australia dessert!

  133. Lemon curd tartalettes!!!

  134. If I had to pick just one thing it would probably be apple curmble pie with icing sugar on top! I’ve loved this pie since I was little, which is actually quite convenient because whenever there’s a birthday, there’s always an apple crumble pie! ;)

  135. Caramel cheesecake! I could eat that until I died! As in caramel flavour cheesecake with caramel running through it and caramel on top served with either dulce de leche ice cream or just normal cream! Mmmmmm…
    That kitchen aid matches my kitchen exactly! Would be the perfect birthday present for my mum if I won!

  136. Turtle cheesecake, without a doubt! I love all things chocolate, but this is my fav!!!

  137. That’s a really hard question, but I think I’d have to say chocolate cake. But I just saw a comment about creme brulee and now I’m torn. Argh. And now I’m hungry too. Drat.

  138. Strawberry shortcake hands down! If I were feeling fancy I’d go with boccone dolce from Papa Hydan’s. Yum!

  139. Chocolate cake my grandmother makes, It’s the best!

  140. Good old fashioned spiced plum crumble, with vanilla bean custard. So fruity and delicious – and you can eat it warm in Winter, or cold in Summer. YUM!

  141. soft traditional chocoate chip cookies

  142. I would probably have to go with chocolate chip cookies. Pretty boring compared to what others are choosing, but I love a simple dessert and you can have so many different tasting chocolate chip cookies depending on what you put in them, so I think it would never get boring.

  143. Dark chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting! That’s been my favorite since I was a kid!

  144. One dessert for the rest of my life? I would have to say my great-grandmother’s poppy seed bundt cake. The cake is so light and fluffy with just the right amount of chocolate swirled in for some additional color and flavor. I might have to go make one tonight.
    Have a great day!

  145. I’d choose a classic Mousse au chocolat but with tiny little chunks of chocolate in it. I love it when the chocolate melts in your mouth and intensifies the flavour of the mousse. yummie <3

  146. I think that if I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be key lime pie, that tart, cool, creamy taste always takes me to a super happy place with blue skies of course so the stand mixer would make it an all around kind of dream :)

  147. Any type of warm fruit cobbler with a streusal topping. Mmmm

  148. Pecan Pie, ideally with vanilla bean ice cream.

  149. Tiramisu. These days I’ve been making Tiramisu at home, and I love it.

  150. I could without a doubt eat dark chocolate and cherry brownies every single day! Slightly warm with a bit of vanilla ice cream on top.. simple and perfect!

  151. Strawberry shortcake! Yummm :D

  152. I love cupcakes and all, but if I had to pick a sweet to eat for the rest of time, I’d probably pick blueberry scones! There’s just something about the buttery, crumbly pastry mixed with sweet, tart blueberries!

    -Mandy Q

  153. If I could only choose one dessert to eat for the rest of my life I would choose apple and rhubarb crumble!!! So yummy :)

    Thanks for the chance to win this mixer! I’ve had my eye on one for some time but they are so expensive to buy :) looking forward to seeing who wins! :)

  154. My mom’s lemon meringue pie! Simple delicious and never lasts more than 2 days in the fridge, if even that. I love it! Mmmm

  155. Raw chocolate chip cookie dough! I’m embarrassed to admit how much of it gets eaten before the cookies hit the oven!

  156. i would settle for a red velvet cake for the rest of my sweet life!? ;D

  157. It would have to be a three layer carrot cake with moist sponge and cream cheese frosting, I can never get enough of it.

  159. if I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my live I would chose an “almudevar plait” from zaragoza Spain. Full of walnut, honey, currants… A delicious sweet bite!!!

  160. Honeyed Gerbeaud slice that my Mom makes every Christmas – oh that is delicious! Though I would crave for all other desserts unless I could make them without eating them. It’s almost as good. Great post on the conference! Made me wanna hop on a plane and see it myself right away. Thanks!

  165. It would have to be flourless chocolate cake.

  166. What an awesome giveaway! :D

    For my one special dessert, I would pick caramel crumble apple pie… a la mode of course!

  167. When I saw your post I had to think, there’s just so many desserts to choose from – how can you possibly pick just ONE? Although I think i’ve narrowed it down..my all-time-favourite dessert is sticky toffee pudding – i’ve done or had almost everything that is related too – ice cream, cupcakes, cake pops, and of course, the pudding itself. So one dessert – four incredibly variations – how could you go wrong?

  168. Rice Krispy treats! I know it sounds too simple and unsophisticated but I could live off of them!

  169. bananas foster, ala mode of course. mmm mmmmm,mmmmm. makes me wanna go down to my kitchen right now….

  170. Homemade coffee cake. My aunt’s recipe only. So easy to make and always delicious.

  171. if I had to eat just one sweet till the end of my life – it would be definitely a chocolate – caramel swirl brownies.

    and I hope to win… because I love blue! especially the open blue one!

  172. I’d choose a Red Velvet Molten Cake from Chili’s. It’s filled with cream cheese and topped with ice cream with a hard chocolate shell :) mmmmm

  173. Wow! Looks like you had an amazing trip! My favorite sweet would be white cake with butter cream icing ;)

  174. I would pick FLAN (Creme Caramel). Yummy!!!

  175. Mmmmm…Blueberry & Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon curd filling and a Limoncello Mascarpone cream topping..Mouthwatering. (Thank you for this Opportunity to win one of these amazing Kitchen aids )

  176. I would have to pick sugar cookies, un iced, I’d eat iced but un is great also. I have up candy for lent and I have discovered just how much I like plain baked goods.

  177. One dessert for the rest of my life….it would have to be a classic Chocolate Chip Cookie!

  178. So hard to choose! Probably the NY Times chocolate chip cookie. They are amazing :)

  179. If I could only pick one dessert i would have to go with yoghurt and raspberry muffins, I love them so much and they are perfect with a café latte or a chocolate milkshake. Delicious!!

    Thank your for this amazing giveaway!!

  180. What exciting adventures you have had lately! 35 years ago when I met my future husband, one of the first gifts he bought me was a KitchenAid mixer so I could make my own wedding cake. I still have it today and it has helped me make many wedding, anniversary, and birthday cakes. Although I believe it will continue to work forever, a new Crystal Blue one would look spectacular and fresh in my kitchen. Vanilla ice cream is my sweet of choice if I could only have one sweet forever!

  181. the best dessert I can’t live without is Leche Flan. It is the best for Filipinos. It is an all occasion dessert with its yummy caramel and smooth custard. Summertime isn’t complete without halo-halo and Leche Flan.

  182. For me it has to be Tarmisu…need I say more…(drool)

  183. Oh my. This is a TOUGH question.

    If I had to eat one sweet for the rest of my life, it would have to be ice cream (it’s my vice). But what kind? Definitely Ben & Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk. It has everything I love in it.. fudge, chocolate, pecans, and WHITE CHOCOLATE chunks.

    UM, yes please. :)

  184. If I could only eat one kind of sweet/dessert for the rest of my life it would be my vegan oatmeal walnut chocolate chip cookies (http://bit.ly/iMMbnL)! Yum!

  185. Peanut butter flapjack! Home made of course and topped with the thickest creamiest milk chocolate. In fact I’d like one right now haha but yes, without a question.

  186. Hi!
    What a lovley colour! Your question got me thinking and I must say that if I had to choose only one thing it would have to be my “Dreamy White Chocolate Cake” filled with passionfruit and creamcheese frosting, covered in marzipan. This cake is an experiance and one piece will never be enough :)
    – Ingrid

  187. Just one, for the rest of my life? hmmm… peach cobbler

  188. Cheese cake would die for it

  189. Mille feuille (known as a “Napoleon” in the US)….yum

  190. i would pick chocolate cake with fondant icing

  191. I guess I can live with a simple coffee butter cookies because I love the smell of butter and I can’t live without COFFEE!

  192. Chocolate fudge cake with scoop of vanilla ice-cream

  193. I think my one dessert would have to be the Grape Ape doughnut from Voodoo doughnuts in Portland, Oregon. So very good with the right amount of sour and sweet

  194. Hard decision…but it’d have to ..Blue Bell ice cream… Cookies N Cream! All-time fave!!
    And I looooove the blue mixer!!! :)

  195. Oh lord! Only one dessert, that’s a hard one! Hmm…I think I have to say….thinking….thinking….chocolate icecream with chcolate saus, sprinkled with lots of MnM’s and peanuts:-) I LOVE kitchenaid since the first time I saw one. They are so pretty! I hope to own one some day.

  196. Rich dark chocolate mousse. If I absolutely could have nothing else ever, I would have to choose rich dark chocolate mousse. I just couldn’t imagine living a life deprived of my favorite dessert. …and if I got to pick two… I would absolutely have to pick dark chocolate ganache as my runner up… if I could pick three, my first alternate would be dutch chocolate ice cream… okay that’s enough rambling

  197. What an amazing giveaway! I LOVE the blue colour!

    Hmm, favourite dessert. I think I’d have to go for creme brulee! Once I had a raspberry and white chocolate one which was SO good, I’ve never been able to replicate it!

  198. Dark chocolate peanut butter cake balls. A girl brought cake pops to my party the other day and mixed in peanut butter with the icing (not sure of the proportions) and that was with chocolate cake, then reg chocolate coating. They were perfect.

  199. If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would be my mothers chocolate whipped pie with meraine topping. It’s too die for not to mention the memories I get while eating it.

    The color is beautiful!!
