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.

IMG_9522

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.

  19. Chocolate chip cookies. They come in so many different varieties!

  20. I think that I would choose these delicious almond cookies from a bakery somewhere in DC. There are my favorite!

  21. My mom’s pecan pie!

  22. I would pick Creme Brulee, because it’s fun to make and so yummy!

  23. My favorite desert is cheesecake. I do not like strawberries though, plain old cheesecake. Unless of coarse I am at the Cheesecake factory and I have 25 options to choose from. I love the Mixer!

  24. It would have to be my homemade red velvet cake. The recipe was my mother’s and now is my daughter’s favorite cake. It is so good and I have never tasted another cake so moist and delicious. I love making it for friends and family.

  25. Hot and cold at the same time, would be a hot molten chocolate lave cake with vanilla ice cream. How can anyone resist???

  26. Cuatro chocolate cupcake with chocolate cream cheese frosting, it is something new I came up with… Yummy!

  28. Plain and simple – Chocolate brownies, the recipe by Baked

  29. I’m big on PB cupcakes and I love anything in lime-cookies, tarts/pie, mousse, ice cream. I’m a huge fan of fudgey icing and mousses of any kind.

  30. It is hard to choose just one but I would pick a vanilla cupcake with fluffy buttercream frosting!

  31. chocolate peanut butter tart

  32. My all time favorite dessert is cake. Good Bakery cake, or wedding cake. And it has to have buttercream frosting. I hate the whipped kind!

  33. I’d have to pick Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter World ice cream. I am powerless to resist it.

  34. creme brulee!!!

  35. A york peppermint patty (or junior mints)–I love the combination of dark chocolate and mint! It makes me happy just thinking about it…

  36. I would go with a Ferrero Rocher gelato, my favourite chocolate combined with ice cream, you just can’t go wrong!

  37. It would have to be chocolate cupcakes with Swiss Meringue Butter Cream frosting…drool.

  38. This is a difficult one! It would have to be ice cream…with chocolate in it…caramel…and throw in some nuts for good measure!

  39. My great grandmother’s brownies made with cocoa powder (no “real” chocolate at all!) and shortening (no butter!) with powdered sugar sprinkled on top while it’s still hot (no frosting!!). The texture is perfect!

  40. So many choices, but I would say hot fudge sundae cheesecake.

  41. I think I would go with cheesecake brownie!! Two great things combined.

  42. My homemade guinness dark chocolate cupcake with espresso chocolate frosting!

  43. Mmmm, creme brulee!!!

  44. I would eat pumpkin pie for the rest of my life! I <3 pie! I would need a lot of whipped cream, though…

  45. Mine would be cherry pie without the cherries with vanilla ice cream on the side and lots of whipped cream. Yes – I said without the cherries – I just like the cherry pie filling sauce. I have this weird thing with fruit and thus – my favorite pie is cherry or cherry sauce filling. :D

    BTW – love the bright blue color! So cherry and just makes you want to bake!

  46. Any type of chocolate & peanut butter dessert! Could be a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, Baskin Robbins Peanut Butter & Chocolate Ice Cream, or even a peanut butter cookie with chocolate chips. That combo slays me.

  47. I would have to pick my great grandmother’s oatmeal scotchies. They are so yummy and have great memories of her attached to them.

  48. I would probaby have to say oreo truffles! They’re so yummy :)

  49. If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would definitely be tiramisu! Think of all the varieties… the original tiramisu, tiramisu cupcakes, tiramisu cheesecake, tiramisu trifle… so delicious!

  50. I would happily enjoy a plum tart. A little something that I have a habit of making in multiples and sharing with anyone that looks hungry.

  51. Hmmmm… Chocolate chip cookies..simple as that. They trump all desserts for me!
    Hugs!

  52. I’d have to say chocolate cake with dark chocolate icing. I love chocolate. Dark and fudgey!! Yummm!

  53. I would eat sfgliatelle. It’s a fantastic itlaian pastry filled with sweetened ricotta. I love them!

  54. ONE dessert the rest of my life?!? Gosh that’s hard to say. While I truly love all desserts, my favorite I think would have to be one of the simplest: angel food cake. Just so delicious…but I still hope I never have to make that decision!

  55. Chocolate cake, moist, rich ummmm yumminess!!

  56. Chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting…classic!

  57. Molasses cookies- good spicy ones with lots of ginger, rolled in sparkly coarse sugar. Still soft when cool, but best when warm. The great thing about them is that they keep forever.. though rarely given the chance!

  58. If I had to choose just one, I would go with a simple chocolate cake with white frosting. So yummy…especially when made from scratch!

  59. It would have to be something with the right combination of chocolate and peanut butter…so I would have to go with buck-eyes or chocolate cake and homemade peanut butter icing. I’m going to have to look for the cookie someone earlier was talking about with pb and chocolate during pregnancy and see if it’s a new man made wonder. :0)

  60. Hi Angie! I would always be happy with a gloriously, buttery, yellow cake with chocolate fudge icing -cake still a bit warm from the oven and the icing slightly crackly on top! A sugar and chocolate fix all in one bite!

  61. I would have to say vanilla ice cream. Because it is so easy to dress up. You can add sauces, fruits, candy, bananas oh, oh, oh I feel a banana split coming on!!

  62. If I could only eat one kind of sweet for the rest of my life it would be chocolate truffles – Vermont made Snowflake Chocolates – one a day! ;)

  63. If I could eat a certain dessert for the rest of my life..? I would say Macarons! <3 Chocolate macarons to be more specific. I absolutely LOVE them and LOVE making them as well <3

  64. My favorite and one & only dessert is a brown sugar cupcake with carmelized pineapple filling and cream cheese frosting with shredded coconut. YUMM!

  65. I would have to say my mom’s lemon cake. Its so moist and sweet then the glaze on top is amazing. Even right out the fridge

  66. Salty caramel ice cream!

  67. It would have to be a banana split! Love the color of mixer!

  68. One dessert? Hmmm, a reallllly good bread pudding with a good whiskey sauce or caramel sauce <3

  69. My favorite dessert is the chocolate dessert that my grandma makes. It’s got a Nilla Wafer crust, and is made of baking chocolate and whipped eggs, with some other stuff. You press it into a pan, and cool it. Years ago I laid claim to the chocolate dessert pan. I have that pan, and I have about three hand written copies of her recipe. She is in her 90’s, and will likely soon pass away. The mixer would be great for whipping the egg whites!

  70. My favorite dessert is my grandma’s carrot cake. She can’t see anymore (and therefore can’t bake), so she passed on the recipe to me. I felt so honored when she handed over the little recipe card.

  71. If I could eat one dessert for the rest of my life, it would be the lavender creme brûlée my sister in law makes, it’s heavenly. There is nothing like the taste of sweet cream and crunchy brown sugar … mmmm!! Never gets old!

    I’d like to take the opportunity to also share the respect I have for your blog and talent! It has truly inspired me over the past couple of years since I received your cake pops book as a sporadic christmas gift – it has helped flourish my passion for baking and now it is all I ever think about!

  72. it will have to be chocolate chip brownie cupcakes!! THATS RIGHT!! im a sucker for chocolate, and cupcakes! i can live just with cupcakes IN my life. of course i will eventually get diabetes but it will totally be worth it.

  73. I am obsessed with a local bakery where I live called Lights. They make a halfmoon cookie with the best frosting ever. Thick chocolate cookie covered in chocolate and vanilla buttercream. I have tried to replicate the frosting with no success. Just thinking of it makes me want one right now!

  74. i would choose pavlova…it is so light and airy and goes with just about all fruits

  75. What fun! white chocolate macadamia cookies. YUM!

  76. girl scout cookies : )

  77. Definitely the chocolate chip cookie. An all time classic. Always the best warm with an ice cold glass of milk!!!

  78. Oatmeal scotchies – one of the best cookirs ever!

  79. cookies. If I have to choose just one type I would say chocolate chip.

  80. It would be brownies, chewy, fudgy, a little gooey with giant peanut butter chips in them. YUM!

  81. While I love countless desserts, I could never get tired of a good old-fashioned chocolate chip cookie!

  82. Brownies!! Dark chocolate with nutella chocolate ganache

  83. Definitely I would pick black forest chocolat cake….what can be better than chocolate…wow

  84. ice cream

  85. This is trickier than I originally thought. Only one forever and ever? I’d have to go with my absolute favorite. Chocolate chip cookies. I. Love. Them.

    On a side note – I was at the Housewares show, but only for one day. I’m bummed that I missed you. I hope you had fun!

  86. Banana Cream Pie!!!

  87. Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream!

  88. I’d eat my grandmother’s chocolate chip cookies!! Great post. I enjoyed reading about your trip!

  89. Gooey cinnamon rolls!

  90. I would eat oreo and peanut butter brownies. Yum. They are THE best thing that has ever happened to me.
    picky-palate.com/2011/09/15/oreo-and-peanut-butter-brownie-cakes/
    and cookie dough. never gets old.

  91. I would have to say if I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life I would go with birthday cake made by my mom. :)

  92. peanut butter cookies!!

  93. Coconut macaroons dipped in chocolate!

  94. Mint chocolate chip ice cream!

  95. Cadbury Mini Eggs- only available this time of year, thankfully for my hips!

  96. I would eat oreo and peanut butter brownies. Yum. They are heaven-sent.
    picky-palate.com/2011/09/15/oreo-and-peanut-butter-brownie-cakes/
    omnomnom.
    also, mint chocolate chip ice cream. it never gets old.

  97. It is so difficult to decide on just one, but I would probably say cherry cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream on top. So delicious, and such an amazing comfort food-it can make me feel better about just about anything.

  98. Omg! I have been wanting one of these for forever! Love your site!!!

  99. I would eat sugar free vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, the little ball kind.

  100. one dessert … so hard! I would chooses monster cookies, they are wheat / gluten free with the best of the cookie ingredients we love. Oatmeal, peanutbutter, pecans, chocolate chips, cranberries, raisins, pecans, and MnM minis if you like. mmmmm

  101. I would have to choose oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (made with a hint of cinnamon), absolutely perfect!

  102. I love carrot cake.

  103. My all time favorite cookie is the sugar cookie made with almond extract and powdered sugar.. of course topped with almond flavored buttercream frosting and lots of sprinkles. MMM…mmm. Ours recipe is called “Darla’s Cookies” after the distant realitvie that introduced our family to them.

  104. OMG! I would love to own a kitchenaid mixer, I want to try to make french macaron cookies.

  105. Hmm, that’s a toughy. My latest obsession is dark chocolate so my first thought was the double dark chocolate chip cookies you posted a few months ago. LOVE THOSE! But then I thought maybe it should be something with fruit…you know, I’m older now and may need fruit in my diet….so I’m gonna go with Apple Crisp. Final answer.

  106. One of my faves is my sister’s chocolate cake with killer fudgey frosting… =)

  107. Cheesecake! I don’t think I’ll ever tire of it.

  108. It would have to be Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey!!!

  109. I would pick my godmother’s applepie. It is covered with brown sugar and almonds and it is the best pie I ever ate! :)

  110. Tiramisu! … or carrot cake. I’d be happy either way!

  111. Hmm, I think I’d have to go with cookie dough ice cream. Is that cheating (combo of ice cream plus chocolate chip cookies)?

  112. It would have to be brownies topped with PB cups..I could never decide between them!

  113. my favorite would be my grandmother’s fudge. she passed away a long time ago and i have yet to find the recipe or something even close to it. i’m not sure what she put in it, but it did have walnuts and was a perfect 1″ by 1″ square. it was truly amazing. i miss that fudge and my grandma dearly…

  114. hmm… hard choice! Krispy Kreme Doughnuts maybe! lol

  115. I really don’t think I can pick just one… It’s a toss up between a good old hot fudge sundae or a chocolate chip cookie. I just don’t know. :)

    Also, that conference looks like it was amazing! I love Disney so much!

  116. Hmm. Probably brownies. Who doesn’t love brownies? Chocolate gooey brownies with the flaky tops. Yum yum.

  117. I would choose to eat LEMON MERINGUE PIE each and every day!! The zest of the lemon filling combined with the sweet fluffy meringue… so very very delicious!

  118. Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Bites! I mean really, come on, PEANUT BUTTER, CHOCOLATE, and PRETZELS! How could this not satisfy me for an eternity?

  119. This is a tuffy!! My all-time favorite treat would be chewy, chunky, fudge brownie with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. Pretty simple, but sometimes less is more! and I love that combo!

  120. i would have mango pudding! so yummy and refreshing. just the right amount of tartness and sweetness, yet so dangerous because you can eat lots and lots….

  121. Gosh, that’s a hard question. I would probably choose peanut butter chocolate ice cream from Baskin Robbins. Oh baby.

  122. I would eat nothing but Cheesecake. It doesn’t have to have a “kind”, but if I did have to choose one, it may be the Mocha Cheesecake that I like to make around christmas time, with a peppermint oreo crust… *drools*

    Also, how did you know that’s my absolute favorite color? :P

  123. I would probably choose…peanut butter chocolate ice cream!

  124. My favourite dessert can be either ice-cream or tiramisu. My favourite coor is sky blue too. Hope that i have chance to get it too.. All the best and take care <3
    PS

  125. sticky toffee pudding a la mode for life!!!

  126. Ice cream. Cookies and cupcakes are great, but ice cream is the ONLY thing that can satisfy my sweet tooth. I’m a huge fan of Extreme Moose Tracks, chocolate ice cream, a slightly salty fudge swirl and a crunchy fudge cup–heaven.

  127. I would pick a lemon poundcake made from scratch with that hard crunchy shell on top with a tall glass of milk.

  128. If I could only eat one kind of sweet/dessert for the rest of my life I would eat warm slices of fresh Cherry Pie!

  129. Chocolate chip cookies!

  130. Giant cinnamon rolls would be the best sweet treat to have for the rest of my life (too bad I can’t make the calories invisible).

  131. Without question My choice for dessert for life would be my classic chocolate chip cookie. To this day the warm smell reminds me of my Grandmother who bought me my first Sunbeam stand mixer and would LOVE at my passion for baking. But my love of KitchenAid was sparked by my Mother-in-law. Both will always be in my heart and kitchen!

  132. I would have an ice cream sandwich made with warm chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream. I would be even better if i could put some frosting on there, too. So sweet…

  133. Dirt cake (and don’t skimp on the gummy worms). I’m 26, and my mom still makes it for my birthday every year :)

  134. If I could only eat one more sweet for the rest of my life, it would have to be a simple zucchini cake. Delicious.

  135. Carrot Cake – definitely carrot cake!

  136. Definitely cheesecake – I have a recipe for a Bailey’s cheesecake that I make and absolutely love!!!

  137. Chocolate cookies with peanut butter middles :) num

  138. chocolate chip cookies. But I reserve the right to change my mind if the moment ever comes where I have to make that choice. I’d rather have the mixer and just make all my favorites.

  139. The answer to this question bounces around in my brain every… single… day.

    TIRAMISU!

  140. If I had to pick only one thing it would be chocolate chip cookies, still warm from the oven!

  141. My favorite dessert will be either ice-cream or tiramisu! <3
    My favorite color is sky blue too… Love to have a kitchenaid mixer when mine is too old.

    Take care!

  142. Jamocha almond fudge ice cream

  143. I would choose a caramel brownie. I was given the recipe over 20 years ago and it’s still the one baked good my coworkers ask for over and over.

  144. My favorite sweet is Chocolate Ice Cream of course!! Chocolatey and cold…yummy!!

  145. A good cheesecake would be hard to pass up for the REST of my life but I would have to pick my Mom’s homemade Strawberry Pie with fresh whipped cream. It is a much coveted dessert in my family when strawberries are in season!

  146. I have to pick two, don’t make me choose: Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups, but only either the Easter eggs or the Christmas trees. They have the perfect combo of PB/chocolate. The normal ones are just too chocolately.
    OR
    Cannoli- Can a pastry be your soul mate?

  147. If I could only choose one dessert it would be anything key lime. . . . . key lime cupcakes, key lime pie, key lime cheesecake pops dipped in dark chocolate. . . . Yummy! It is always a happy dessert, just one bite makes you smile :)

  148. chocolate covered strawberries

  149. A glazed doughnut

  150. oh dear, only one sweet for the rest of my life? that’s a tough one! i think i’ll go with cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries. :)

  151. I think it would have to be ice cream! So simple, but always a favourite!

  152. I would pick cream puffs. They are something that I’ve always loved, but have only on special occasions.

  153. Gosh those blogging conventions look fun! And I would TOTALLY eat Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion chocolate lava cakes. Every day. Forever.

  154. Love you Bakerella! Love the mixer too. Probably would love to eat a bar I make called Special K bars. Peanut butter, sugar, Light Karo syrup and special k cereal, topped with melted choc chips and butterscotch chips. Yum!

  155. Nothing beats a chocolate chip cookie, so fresh out of the oven that it’s gooey yumminess falls to pieces as you pick it up. :) Mmmm…

  156. Just today I discovered my new favorite treat that I could eat forever!!! Even though I do a lot of baking I am not one for “favorites”…I love it all! But I found this dairy-free ice cream now that I found I have a dairy allergy and it’s SO much better than ice cream!! :D *swoon* Even people who don’t have a dairy allergy would get addicted to this stuff! ;D

    http://www.tastethedream.com/products/product/5072/745.php

    I can’t wait to try their other flavors as well! ;) Hehe. Oh dear! :D This could get dangerous!

    ~Miss Rachel~

  157. Chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with macademia nuts; total yumminess! The crystal blue mixer is cheery fun!

  158. If I had to pick one dessert, it would be tiramisu…I love the lady fingers, the taste of espresso and marscapone!

  159. a rich gingerbread with lemon sauce please!

  160. That’s a tough one. It would be a brownie sundae – warm, gooey brownie on the bottom with vanilla ice cream on top. Simple yet satisfying!!

  161. My dessert of choice would be anything lemon…especially lemon cheesecake….heaven!

  162. Chocolate Molten Cake

  163. hmmm… definitely amaretto ice cream. SO good!

  164. Chocolate cream pie with a homemade graham cracker crust, non-instant pudding, and homemade whipped cream. I could eat it all day long every day.

  165. MMMM!!! Doughnuts! chocolate or glazed! seriously! who can decide?

  166. I’m going to have to say Cheesecake. With a homemade graham cracker crust and some strawberries or raspberries.

  167. My dessert destiny would be classic carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Nom, nom, NOM!

    Tomorrow is my day off. I think I’m going to be forced to make this now that I’m thinking about it! :D

  168. ohhhhh chocolate brownies with chocolate chips in them-fresh and gooey out of the oven. Hubby always says ‘wait ’til they’re cool’ but I love them when they’re still gooey and hot!

  169. Homemade vanilla bean ice cream.

  170. Ok, so a little boring, but a chocolate chip cookie. No nuts, a little salty. I would miss my mint ganache brownies, but not as much as I would miss the world without my chocolate chip cookies.

  171. If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would be a red velvet cupcake from Dots in Pasadena, CA. They are my absolute favorite! The cake is nice and moist and the cream cheese frosting is spot on! Not to mention their store is just too darn cute!

  172. It may be cliche, but macarons from Ladurée!

  173. Fun! I would say chocolate chip cookies. I never get tired of them and they are the perfect treat for all ages!

  174. I am going with warm chocolate brownies….amazing!!!

  175. If I could only eat one kind of sweet/dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be my Death By Chocolate Cake Pops. Homemade Chocolate Cake mixed with French Silk Chocolate Frosting and then dipped in Chocolate. Makes my mouth water just thinking about them.

  176. It’s so hard to pick just one! Peanut butter pie? Tira misu? Something with strawberries? I just don’t know. I know it wouldn’t be anything frozen. A bite of buttercream icing every single day? Sounds a bit decadent!

  177. ICE CREAM!!! no matter what time of year it always makes me happy my fav is peanut butter by dreyers makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

  178. Definitely chocolate chip cookies :-)

  179. I can bathe myself in Japanese Cake! It’s a simple, velvety, firm cheesecake that’s absolutely sublime! It’s not too sweet and not too unsweet. It’s perfect cheesecake.

  180. Creme Brulee with fresh strawberries and raspberries! Not a better dessert in my opinion!!!!

  181. It would be chocolate brownies. Filled with cookie dough. I’d die fat and happy.

  182. It would have to be chocolate chip cookies. That way, I’d get my cookie and chocolate cravings all taken care of in one fell swoop! Although, good old fashioned cheesecake is a very, very close second…

  183. your recipe for chocolate chip brownies with chocolate ganache! so yummy!

  184. I could eat white cake with vanilla buttercream every days for ALL days!!!

  185. Seriously, how can you pick just one?! Although if I absolutely had to, it would probably be carrot cake. I don’t have a specific recipe just yet because I try a new one each year, but one of these days I will! Great question!

    I wonder what that would taste like with a little nutella on top…

  186. If i could eat only one kind of swee/dessert for the rest of my life, I would choose to eat a chocolate cupcake ball dipped in mint made by Bakarella. I was just sending a text message to my two children requesting a KitcheAid for Mother’s Day. I am praying that I will WIN!

    Thanks!

  187. If I had to only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, I’d make it white chocolate bread pudding from Ruggles!

  188. If i could pick one sweet to eat for the rest of my life, it would be creme brulee! =)

  189. I think i’d have to go with a chocolate dipped cookie ice cream sandwich. Because then you get a little of everything, chocolate, cookie, and ice cream all in one bite!

  190. Pumpkin cheesecake! I love all things pumpkin and I love cheesecake so it combines 2 of my faves!

  191. Oh my!! What a wonderfull color!
    If I could eat only one sweet my whole life it wold have to be a chocolate cake my mom makes that is to die for!!!

  192. It would definitely be the chocolate almond cake I make. I love it! Thanks for the chance to win!

  193. Chocolate chip cookie! Though I do love all things sweet, herever I am in the world, that’s the craving. Comfort, home, it’s all in a chocolate chip cookie.

  194. That is a really hard question. So I have to be creative in my answer. Pie with regular crust, brownies, and chopped up chocolate chip cookies inside, frosted with peanut butter frosting.

  195. Warm choc cake with cold whipped cream!! I love the warm/cold contrast. Berries couldn’t hurt either!! I love the choc pound cake from Tate’s. It is a bundt cake…and it is SO GOOD!!

  196. Chocolate chip cookies. The super gooey, chewy delicious kind.

  197. A fudgy triple chocolate brownie would keep me happy forever!

  198. I would eat triple chocolate mousse cake. Yummy! Plus I make it with a mixer so this would be perfect. We’ll just see. :)

  199. Chocolate chip cookies

  200. If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would probably be brownies. Especially out of the oven, I love the warm moist chocolate taste, the chewy corners. It goes great with a cold glass of milk!
