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.

- Deadline to enter is Wednesday, March 28th at 5 pm ET.
SORRY, TIME’S UP! Winner Announced Below.

GOOD LUCK GUYS!
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.
Brownies! No contest there :)
I’f have to go with my Grandma’s applesauce chocolate chip cookies. They are just so good.
Chocolate pound cake with buttercream frosting! I would love to have this Kitchenaid mixer to whip one up! LOVE the color!!
Warm chocolate chip cookies!
I know it seems crazy, but I LOVE rice krispy treats with rainbow sprinkles..so simple and delicious!
I’m going to paint my kitchen soon and that shade of blue would perfectly match the color scheme I’ve picked out! I love it!
Oh my gosh. I think if I were to have to choose only one, it would be my mom’s butter toffee cake. She makes it with Butter pecan cake, and instead of frosting, she makes a crunchy topping with Heath Bar toffee bits!
I would have to have something chocolate and cakey. Like a nice moist sour cream chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream frosting. YUM!!! Oh and I could make it in my new blue kitchenaid. My house is blue (got 3 boys) and this blue would be all mine just cute on my counter. Love love love it.
My mom’s yellow cake with chocolate frosting!
Butter pecan ice cream all day, every day!
Chocolate cake from a box… such a let down, I know!
That’s making it very hard but I think I would go with my grandma’s 7-up pound cake (with peach cobbler coming in a close second). Thanks for the opportunity.
Cookies – molasses cookies to be specific!
Mississipi Mud Bars – Yummm!
I would want French Macarons! Every Flavor possible!
rice krispy treats… don’t know what it is because I really don’t like the ingredients but combined I just CAN’T get enough!
If I could only eat one dessert it would have to be homemade funfetti cupcakes they have been my favorite since I was little. They make you happy just looking at them, all those sprinkles! =)
I would eat peanut butter and jelly cupcakes with a peanut butter cream cheese icing. And a glass of milk. A kitchenaid would make making those cupcakes a lot easier than my handheld! You’re awesome! <3
Ok, for me it would have to be gluten free chocolate chip cookies made by my partner. Not by me, I can’t make them taste the same…….believe me, I’ve tried! They are a such an amazingly beautiful cookie made with almond flour, virgin coconut oil, chocolate chips; and he bakes them to this just-barely-crunchy-around-the-edges, chewy, gooey perfection. I’d be happy never putting another sweet treat near my lips if he could just make these cookies for me forever! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Hmmm, just one is tough. However, I would choose chocolate creme brulee with a dollop of homemade whipped cream on top with a fanned strawberry!
There is a little gas station about 20 miles from my house that has the best soft serve ice cream and my husband jokes that we can’t go thru that town without stopping to get a twist cone so I would have to say if I had to pick just one thing it would have to be those wonderful twist cones! Thanks for the giveaway!
Chocolate ice cream–simple and chocolate-y!
I’d have to say home made cinnamon buns with cream cheese icing, yum! I try not to make them too often because they are too addicting! Thanks for the giveaway!!
If it is the only dessert I have to pick, it would have to be my most requested and homemade Chocolate Brownie Sheet Cake… It makes me drool to think about it… YUMMM! The mixer is so cool!
I would love this pretty mixer….if I have to pick just one dessert it would be a lemon chiffon cake.
Chocolate cake with fluffy white frosting, covered in chocolate ganache.
Thanks for the chance at a beautiful mixer!
i would probably eat chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake for the rest of my life.. that stuff is waaay beyond amazing!
i would choose a dessert that has a mix of chocolate, peanut butter and toffee! mad loveeeeee!
I love black forest cupcakes!
My mom’s cherry cheesecake bars, they are DELICIOUS!! Hopefully one day she will finally hand over the recipe so I can stop guessing ;)
Since I own a gelato business, I’d have to say Raspberry Lemon Sorbet, but a Sugar Cookie would be a very close second!!!!
my mom makes the best ‘monster cookies’- mmm… oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate chips and m&m’s! what could be better!?
wow, this is a tough question. After much thinking I decided on shortbread, love it and could change it up too :)
It would be a hot chocolate souffle with a raspberry sauce and fresh whipped cream, which will probably be what I make for my birthday next week :)
only one :( well if i have to pick it would be…Creme Brulee!
If I had to pick just one dessert it would have to be a chocolate peanut butter cup cupcake with peanut butter frosting! Yum!
Oatmeal raisin cookies!!!
Oh my WORD!!!! Epcot is like my second home!! My family used to go almost every year when I was growing up (I have no idea of how we afforded it hahaha) we used to live in FL and had a full year pass and went allll the time. Ahh! This makes me miss my “other home” haha. It looks like you had a lot of fun :). I hope next time you’ll get to see MORE!
Anyways for your question.
If I could only eat one desert for the rest of my life…it would probably be Peanut Butter M&Ms….they’ve got the perfect amount of chocolate and pb…and I love it when they’re slightly melted inside….mmmmmmmmm.
I wish I liked more fancy stuff…and I DO…but for something I could have EVERY day and not get tired of..I’m just a simpleton haha. I like variety and to try too many new things to be able to easily pick one haha :P
For me it would have to be Lemon Meringue Pie. I love the fluffyness of the meringue, and the pucker power tartness of the Lemon curd, and i would even do without the crust to just enjoy those two flavours together!
I would have to say brownies. And then I could make them into spiders brownie balls like you did with Paula Dean for Halloween, They were so cute and scary. But who wants to only have one dessert. There are so many out there. Just reading through some of your comments makes me want several differnt sweets. And some I have never tried before.
Hot fudge cake with vanilla ice cream drizzled with peanut butter caramel and chocolate sauce sprinkled with peanuts
Probably my aunt nan’s coconut cream pie – it is AMAZING! It has a creamy custardy center with a whipped cream topping, too bad we can only have it around the holidays! :)
Ever since seeing your post last week, i keep having sneaky peeks at the kitchenaids and looking at my finances to see if I could squeeze another few pennies to buy one.. but if I could win one!! Wow!! ;) My favourite dessert would have to be a combination of a slice of my Mum’s brandy tart (why does mine never taste as good??) and a slice of Boston cheesecake. I discovered this when i lived in Australia 12 years ago and it was AMAZING… but went back last November and couldnt find it anywhere (so disappointed) but with a kitchenaid… maybe I could try and recreate the receipe :)
I would eat donuts…lots and lots of donuts.
Funnily enough, it would be my homemade creme brûlée icecream – made with 8 eggs – its truly divine!
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be tirimasu!!! It’s the most amazing dessert I’ve ever had before and even though everyone makes it so different, it’s always delicious!! :)
Vanessa M
I would have to say 7 layer bars because they have a little bit of everything. :)
Strawberries over angel food cake drizzled with buttercream icing!!
I would have to choose my sisters large soft centre meringues (that she makes with vinegar) with whipped cream and mixed berry sauce, it is to dye for!! We often have it on special occassions as it really is a special dessert. :)
A cheesecake with pecan praline topping. Yummy!!
So hard to decide…I think I would choose imperial cookies! They are known by many different names though – the sandwich cookie with raspberry jam topped with glaze and a cherry!
Pumpkin Pie!!!!! How odd right, lol? Even though it’s not my favorite dessert, it is one of those desserts that I can’t imagine my favorite holiday without!! Gobble, Gobble!!
Linzer Tart cookies. They have been my favorite since I was a child and are now my specialty cookie that I have to make for holidays as my family looks forward to them too.
Only one dessert…cheesecake, original. Then add whatever toppings I want!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a great prize!
Smores!
This is a tough choice! I would have to say a decad ent chocolate cake. Chocolate is something I crave daily and cannot live without. I know a lot of women would agree.:)
I would eat a cheesecake, plain no toppings with a graham cracker crust. I love the simplicity of it :)
I would have Tiramisu. I could eat it every single day!
I love anything with walnuts or pecans. For me, it’d be Baklava. For the rest of my life :-)
So many to pick but I would have to say Strawberry topped cheesecake! I love cheesecake! Thanks!
Just one is tough. However, I would choose a chocolate creme brulee with a dollop of homemade whipped cream on top and a ‘fanned’ strawberry.
mine would be Creme brûlée love it to the end of the earth!!
Ok, so one dessert.. Im definitely a chocolate person, but I think I would choose red velvet cake pops with the cream cheese frosting mixed in as you do, in the shape of ice cream cones. I did just make them and the flavor is A-mazing! And there is something about that crunch of the candy coating… Can’t get enough!! Thank you!!
I would eat for the rest of my life “RED VELVET CAKE (pop cakes, cupcakes, whoopie pie… if its red velvet, ill eat it!)…. it is soooooo good!
It would have to be some kind of brownie…maybe just a classic milk chocolate chip brownie with some buttermilk in the mix! Yum.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE homemade cinnamon buns. With homemade cream cheese frosting!! My mouth is watering!
It’s so hard to pick just one, but my first instinct is to say a good old chocolate chip cookie.
Creme brulee!
I would say Millionaire Bars – Shortcake bottom with a soft caramel layer and dark chocolate on top. My friend from Scotland introduced me to them! So good!
My choice would have to be the old fashioned Banana & Toffee classic the Bannoffi Pie! All those yummy sweet bananas, thick sticky caramel and full fat sweetened dairy cream – and that cool blue mixer would be just the job to whip it all up together!
Only one dessert forever??
I guess if I had to choose it would undoubtedly have to be my Mums home-made Pavlova topped with cream & fresh summer berries and a generous drizzle of strawberry coulis.
Simply Devine!!!
I LOVE this mixer! It’s my favorite color, and it matches just about everything in my house.
If I could only eat one baked good for the rest of my life, I’d have to stick with classic chocolate chip cookies. There are fancier, more trendy, more refined treats, but there is something about making chocolate chip cookies that always brings back the joy of baking in my mom’s kitchen as a little girl.
I have a major sweet tooth so this is pretty tough for me to choose. But if I had to pick just one dessert, it would have to be cookies and cream ice cream….with lots of Oreos of course!
I would have to say, Green Tea ice cream : D
That’s a tough one! But I would definitely choose soft and gooey chocolate chip cookies!
If I could only have one thing… it would definitely have to be Slutty Brownies. Three of my friends got dumped last week, so I pulled out all the stops with my baking on Friday. The whole pan is already gone!
Here’s the recipe:
http://www.thelondoner.me/2011/06/slutty-brownies.html
ICE CREAM!!! Not only is if my favorite dessert but it reminds me of my mother
Puppy chow. It’s addictive.
Oh if nothing else, brownie balls, same as a cake ball, but made with brownies, could live off of those!
I would have to say New York style cheesecake with caramel topping. Sooooo good!
It would have to be thumbprint cookies witj their ooooo so yummy frostings….super addictive!!!! Love ur book ,website n ur how to videos. New to the cake pop world, but u make it look super fun, creative, n doable!
Thanks for a chance…..have a rockin Mon!!!!
I would love to win this gorgeous kitchenaid!! My favorite dessert would be molten lava chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream. I had it 5 nights in a row on our cruise last month and loved it!
I’m going old school comfort food from my Gramma: graham crackers sandwiched with butter frosting. Maple frosting was what she usually made, but any will do! That blue KitchenAid is gorgeous!
Definitely rice crispy treats! There are lots of desserts I enjoy, but this one everyone can make in their own home. You don’t have to wait to go to your favorite bakery or restaurant to have these. They are versatile and anything can be added to them to change it up. Perfect, gooey, yumminess! :)
If I could only have one dessert for the rest of my life it would be my family’s apple cake with cream cheese frosting. It’s so delicious!
hmmmn I think if i could only have one kind of dessert it would definitely be cookies and cream ice cream (the kind made with Oreos of course) that has always been my favorite ice cream and always will be.
Yum but only one desert is such a hard question. I guess I would have to pick a Molton Lava cake with vanilla ice cream on top. That takes care of any craving for a cold sweet or a warm sweet. When it is fresh and hot it is such an amazing creation.
Homemade Danish pastry is my most delicious vice.
I’d choose cheesecake, if I could only have one dessert. Do I have to choose which kind of cheesecake? I’d rather not, LOL! But if I did, a simple one that’s firm (not mushy) and topped with a bit of fruit sauce :)
key lime pie!!!
My one sweet would be white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Looks like your conference was great!
It’s pretty difficult to choose just one dessert to committ to for the rest of my life, but if I had to, it would be mint chocolate chip ice cream from Baskin Robbins. I’ve tried many, but that one tops the list!
I would happily eat mini (two bite) brownies (made in a mini muffin tin) stuffed with a single mini peanut butter cup. Can’t beat the chocolate/PB combo!
Oreo cheesecake! I love all kinds of cheesecake, but that is def my favorite! Alan even changed the ringtone on my cell to play “Cheesecake, munching on a cheesecake…” from the muppets.
that’s easy: carrot cake. Could (and would) eat it everyday. All day.
Carrot cake, made with real carrots, raisins, coconut, pecans and pineapple, and top it of with real cream cheese icing. Mmmm… my mouth is watering just thinking of it! In fact, I’m gonna go bake one right now!
Thanks Bakerella for everything!
No bake chocolate oatmeal cookies!
For me it would have to be a cookie, a chewy cinnamon oatmeal cookie.
If I could only eat one thing…. It would definitely be “choco-flan” it’s half chocolate cake and half flan (a Mexican custard dessert) it is sooooo yummy!!! And easier to Make than what people think… At least it is for me :)
chocolate-cake, pie-anything, candy bars
Only one dessert? Man…Um. Probably Moose Tracks ice cream. Vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter? What could be better than that?
Funfetti cupcakes
Dutch apple pie ala mode!!! Yum yum!!
My one and only dessert would be chocolate cheesecake with caramel pecan topping – so sinful and delicious!
If I had to choose only one dessert for the rest of my life, it would definitely have to involve strawberries, pound cake and a whole lot of whipped cream!! :)
I would eat chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes. The kind with the fabulous cookie dough center and sinfully sweet frosting!! YUM!!
I would have to say banana splt from baskin robbins. I love ice cream and with them you choose 3 flavors
Only ONE dessert for the rest of my life? How hard is that? I would have to go with dark chocolate cake with a hint of cinnamon and covered in white buttercream icing. Simple but so addicting to me.
tollhouse cupcakes, always has to be some chocolate in life.
I would have to say that I would want butterbeer cupcakes. I just made them this weekend, and they are pretty awesome!
I have discovered the most amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe rencently on a blog. AMAZING…so for now…that would be my everyday dessert if i could have it everyday! Thank you for the opportunity to win! My current KitchenAid is ready for retirement, lol.
Oh my, a fresh lemon cake with lemon curd whipped cream filling and very whipped buttercream, topped with white chocolate shavings and a blueberry or two! Deliciousness on a fork!
Tough one! I think I might just have to go with good, old, chocolate chip cookies. A classic!
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would have to be chocolate cake. I love it in all of it’s forms. I’m attracted to it if it’s on the dessert cart. I love tall ones and rectangular ones and even the really thin ones that get rolled up around a filling. Mmmm nom. :-) With coffee.
Wow what a tough question – there are so many things I like I don’t know if I can choose just one! I guess if I absolutely have to I would say oatmeal raisin cookies because it incorporates my two favorite things, oatmeal and raisins!
The colors of the new Kitchen Aids are amazing!
anything chocolate!
One of my favorite dessert that I love is pretty basic but is sooooo yummy. That would be strawberries coved with chocolate. My husband and I do these around once a week.
I know exactly! It would be a whole sheet of Texas Brownies which is really cake with a shimmering, fudgey frosting that only gets better as it waits to be eaten!
My favorite cake from Munich – Baumkuchen – or “tree cake.” When you slice it, the layers are so thin and it looks like the rings of a tree trunk. My favorite is the chocolate covered version.
I would eat those mini cherry cheesecakes! Ever since I was little, my aunt always made them for special events! They are so delicious!
This is such a great giveaway. Thank you so much!
Georgetown cupcake has has this yummy cake that they only make in February- Chocolate Lava Fudge Cake with Fresh Strawberry Frosting. It is so AMAZING!!! The frosting is so light and fluffy- it’s the perfect pair. And I love the lava in the middle. My mouth is watering. Too bad it’s not February.
I would definitely choose chocolate tart. Yummmmmy!!! That blue color is gorgeous!!
With so many yummy things out there it’s so hard to choose! But I would have to say toll house chocolate chip cookies that my mom makes. My mom always makes them from scratch and it brings me back to my childhood and what I learned from her watching her bake. She influenced me so much with my baking skills and ideas. She is a big reason why I went into baking for a living. And she is my biggest cheerleader!
My pick would be lemon chiffon cake
Looks like you had a great time! I love reading about your trips. It’s so exciting!
I don’t know how to narrow down to just one, but I really am in love with tiramisu. It’s really hard to find, and I haven’t attempted to make it myself yet. But one piece never seems like enough!
I would eat Salted Nutroll bars if that was the only sweet for the remainder of my life
Ice cream. Preferably chocolate with ribbons of peanut butter.
Vegan chocolate cupcakes. I am not vegan but I do have a little intolerance issues when it comes to lactose so this would keep me happy and they are so moist and the chocolate so flavorful.
As much as I love chocolate, I would have to say Peach Pie. I could eat Peach Pie with a buttery crust forever!
Cheesecake. Plain. no fruit.
If there was one sweet I could eat, it would be cheesecake! Yummy creamy goodness plus calcium & protein to boot! :) Thanks for all the great posts! :)
Hands down, it would have to be white chocolate chip cookies. Although really, any and every cookie will do. I have a serious cookie addiction.
Blueberry scones. They are so very yummy!
Red velvet whoopie pies with cream cheese frosting!
With a dairy allergy, most desserts are out for me. So I started my own company whipping up allergy sensitive cupcakes, cookies, and of course cake pops! But my favorite dessert, dairy free of course, woul be a dark chocolate molten lava cake. :-)
hmmm, I think if I was only allowed to eat one type (really? only one?) it would be stawberry-rhubarb pie- with a very flaky crust- with sugar on the edge….
Glad you had a great trip. I must say that I could probably eat Tiramisu for the rest of my days!!! I enjoy making it and I enjoy eating it even more.
brownies!! i can never go wrong with that :)
chocolate creme brulee
A chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting!
My one and only dessert would be chocolate cheesecake with caramel pecan topping – so sinful and delicious
Only one….uummmmm…it would have to be Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food! Yum!
Trifle with lots of whipped cream!
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest if my life
it would be lemon chiffon cake.
I’m so glad I’ll probably never have to make that decision, but I’d have to choose blackberry cobbler. Mmmm, I might have to go buy some blackberries now.
Chocolate cake with chocolate icing….Loooove me some chocolate!!!
Oh this would be amazing! Now to only pick just one…mmm, it may have to be peanut m&m’s!
Definitely it would be leche flan, a Filipino delicacy sort of like a custard… Melts in your mouth goodness…
I know it sounds too simple, but I love me a solid chocolate Fudgecicle!! Mmmmmm
Chocolate chip cookies. Boring I know, but they are a comfort food for me and I never get bored of them.
Ice cream for sure!
It would have to be cookie dough ice cream with crushed reeses at the bottom
Im a huge, huge fan of a beautifully constructed Lavender Vanilla Bean Creme Brûlée! The best!
Looks like you had so much fun! Love the new color. It will be perfect for a tres leches cake.
I love this color – so springy!
Red Velvet anything….cupcakes, whoopee pies….I’m a sucker for red velvet…that would be my last treat! :)
Boy this is tough! But I would have to say M&M chocolate chunk cookies. I used to always make M&M cookies in the appropriate holiday colors, (Fall, Easter, Christmas, etc.). But one day I decided to chop up a big chocolate bar I had on hand. I left it in big chunks and threw those in with the batter. They have become a family favorite! Thank you for the fun give-a-way!!
My dessert would have to be my grandmother’s Lemon Whippersnap cookies. They are a crinkle cookie that she used lemon cake mix, an egg, and a tub of cool whip as the batter then rolled them in powdered sugar. They are always the right ratio of sweetness and tang; and they always were so refeshing no matter what time of year.
Chocolate chip cookie dough balls!!
I would have to say birthday cake with buttercream frosting!
A plain old, classic chocolate chip cookie. But a soft one, not a hard one :)
Oh my gosh, I love that blue mixer!! I would eat chocolate chip cheesecake with hot fudge drizzled over the top!
Flourless chocolate cake! I could eat that forever.
My one and only dessert would be chocolate cheesecake with caramel and pecan topping – oh so sinful and delicious!
Definitely chocolate! Alone, melted covering fruit, nuts, shortbread, pretzels…DElICIOUS!!!! YUM! ;)
I would be happy with eating leche flan (filipino style) for the rest of my life. So creamy, so decadent.. Now if only I could make it. Hey with a stand mixer I could, wink wink.
M & M’s with almonds chocolate chip cookies! They are awesome!!
oh goodness! why would you make us choose! I think i’d have to go with a moist lemon cake, with lemon or lime glaze. It seems that i am always in the mood for citrus.
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would be my chocolate-chip pancake cupcakes with maple bacon buttercream icing sprinkled with bacon crumbles. They are to die for if I do say so myself!
If I could eat only one dessert the rest of my life it would be chocolate cheesecake! Combines my 2 favorite things in this world :)
Apple crumble make by my mother!
A not quite done, chocolate brownie with chocolate frosting. Mmmmmmmm
Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling covered w/ chocolate ganache!
Bluebell Vanilla Ice Cream!
If I had to pick, it would be cheesecake.
That crystal blue is amazing. But lemon meringue pie every day would be more amazing :)
I would probably be forced to go with something like a passionfruit mousse in an almond tulle cone. :D Nothing tooo fancy.
Gorgeous photos from the event at Disney World. Looks like everyone had a wonderful time (glad you had time for a Dole Whip). If I had to pick just one it would be something with cookie dough, perhaps a cookie dough cheesecake or something like that.
only one is tough! but it would have to be a warm turtle brownie ala mode….mmm.
love the new color mixer – that is so pretty!!
I’d pick a white or yellow cupcake with delicious buttercreme icing. I’m a simple purist. ;)
Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese frosting
My dessert has to be my mom’s “Butterballs”. It is a Chrismas tradition and when that spectacular smell fills the air, I know we are all in for a treat! They are the perfect blend of sweet and rich. And when you get one just out of the oven and coat it in powdered sugar, they just melt in your mouth – plus, you’re left with delicious Butterball goo on your fingertips!
German chocolate cake for sure! My grandma use to make it for when when I was little and now I HAVE to have it for my birthday cake every year:)
If I had to choose just one thing….( And I am silently praying this NEVER happens! lol ) It would have to be my momma Homemade Strawberry Cake – the frost alone is amazing and the cake is so moist, its layered and you can see the little pieces of strawberry inside, yummies!….Now Im gonna have to have her make me one!!
Thank you for letting us in on you past 2 weeks of food fun!
Chocolate chip cookies, the toll house recipe.
If I could only eat one sweet for the rest of my life, it would be homemade Red Velvet Cake. YUMMY! I love sweets!
I definitely would want buckeyes…. Anything with chocolate and peanut butter!!!!!!!!!!
It’s so hard to choose just one, but since you forced me..I choose cookies and cream mousse, YUM!
It would have to be the “pucker up” cupcake from Muddy’s, a local bakery in town. It is a lemon cupcake with lemon icing and is delish!
I would choose Vanilla cake with bakery buttercream! Something about a good, moist vanilla cake that I can’t resist!!! Yum!!!
Oh my, such a hard choice! It would have to be chocolate cake. Dark chocolate, soft creamy icing – two or three layers. Yum!
If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, it would be a apple pie.
This dessert makes me cry!
From the moment I saw Bakerella blog, I thought, this is worth it to try, after all we are talking about a beautiful KitchenAid colored like the sky and that would make me for sure, fly high!!!
Thank you for letting me try.
Bye bye.
I think that it would have to be magic bars. If you’ve never had them they’re delicious. Graham cracker bottom with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, nuts and sweetened condensed milk. OMG!
Chocolate & Beetroot Brownies!
As strange as they might sound
They are to die for! :-)
My current addiction is Butterfinger ice cream. I think I could eat it forever!
oh wow, just one for ever ..I think it would have to be carmel crunch apple pie. I modified it from one of Emeril’s recipes!! It is just yummy. This is hard, b/c I thought I would go for something chocolate, but I think the apple pie would be something to go to everyday. That blue is incredible!! Thanks for the offer and that great photos!!
