****Contest Closed**** :-(
You know what? I have cabin fever and I'm cranky because we have WAY too many snowstorms already and it's only the beginning of January people. Of course to make myself feel even worse I read the Farmers Almanac and it said we are going to get a ton of storms. Yay! Wonderful. Isn't that great?
So to cheer myself up, I want to make you happy by having a giveaway. See if you're happy then I get happy.
I want to give away a couple fabulous cookbooks. If you are a cake lover; a kicked up cake lover that is, like me, then these are the books for you. The winner will receive BOTH of these cookbooks by Warren Brown. The cake god himself. I adore Warren Brown. He is the owner of Cake Love Bakery. Remember when he had the show Sugar Rush on the Food Network? That was such a good, relaxing show; I miss that. That and Gale Gands Sweet Dreams. I wish Warren would come back to TV, but I hear he's a busy man. If you go check out his website, he has a free cake app. How cool is that? And the best part, I hear he's super sweet--definitely a chill person with mad decorating skills; definitely a super nice person you want to bake and create with. Check out his blog too!
All you have to do is leave ONE comment with your name and email address about your all time favorite cake. And you could win BOTH of these cookbooks. Yep both.
Let's do the drawing on 1/23/2011.
Please no anynomous entries. Have a valid NAME and EMAIL address.
It might help you win if you become a fan on FB & Twitter.
Hahaha, kidding. I kid, I tease.

WHAT a giveaway! I agree....even the South is getting pounded. Whats up with this craziness? I'd love to win these cook books. I haven't had a lot of experience with cake making and would love to expand my skills. I think the best cake I've ever had was a german chocolate cake. My name is Erica ;) and my email address is itzyskitchen at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteTexas Sheet Cake with pecans. Gooey Butter Cake is a close second.
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite cake comes from a recipe I found at my Great Grandmother's house. It's called Hummingbird Cake. It is absolutely delicious and always reminds me of being small at Grandma's house.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe combines banana, cinnamon, walnuts, and crushed pineapples. The flavor is so unique and the recipe is tightly guarded in our family.

My all-time favourite cake? This drumstick cake/pie at my family's favourite Italian restaurant back home. Ice cream with peanut butter layers, crunchy peanuts and chocolate syrup... To. die. for. We always get one piece and the four of us share it. I guess it's also my favourite cake because of all the great moments associated with it... :)
ReplyDeleteFun giveaway!!

thank you
How on earth to pick just one? The best cake I have ever eaten - a multi layered plum cake with cream and pastry when I was in Germany. No idea how to make it, but I still think about it 15 years later.
ReplyDeleteSo excited about this - I have been lusting after CakeLove for awhile now... the best cake I ever made was a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, studded with pecans around the outside. Westville restaurants in NYC have amazing carrot cake and chocolate souffles to die for!
ReplyDeleteI probably shouldn't enter, because I already won your cookbook giveaway (Baked Explorations), but I'm greedy and I'm entering anyway. :)
ReplyDeletemy favorite cake is a single round funfetti cake (meaning you have a spare cake, which is always swell to have around), on top of a layer of chocolate ice cream, itself on top of a layer of chocolate, which is, finally, on top of a cake sized cookie. white frosting. eat alone with your roommate, rejoycing about for once not having a crapton of people over eating your food.

ReplyDeleteFor my 5th birthday my mom made a huge layered cake for my party and made a Christmas Tree (as my birthday's in December) out of icing that stood about 8 inches tall - 5 inches in diameter, complete with "garland", "colored lights", and a "star" on top. It was the most delicious and moist chocolate fudge cake......yum!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the snow, we have been getting slammed up north! My favorite type of cake was an ice cream cake I made last year for my boyfriend's mom. It had vanilla cake on the bottom layer and strawberry ice in the middle and topped with another layer of vanilla cake. Whipped cream and fresh strawberries on top made it even better.

The chocolate fudge with French cream filling I made for the first time as a birthday cake for one of our daughters on Dec. 23 has become my all-time favorite!

My favorite cake is an iced lemon pound cake. That said, I am an equal opportunity consumer and wouldn't turn my nose up at anything!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be carrot cake, but I am the only one who would eat it. So, I never make them. Cheesecake has the same problem. That would be even more dangerous.

Wow, thanks for the giveaway! Who doesn't love some good cake? My very favorite cake is from a restaurant in central Florida, so that doesn't really count. But, I also love a good Texas chocolate sheet cake. And Paula Deen's gooey butter cakes are so so good.

Three favorites stand out: Tres Leche cake that I made for the first time this year. Used a recipe by Alton Brown. So good. Second would be "the" cake my Mother-in-law makes for birthdays. It is the chocolate cake recipe found on the can of Hershey's cocoa powder but it is so good. Third would be my Mom's individual pineapple upside down cakes. Yum. - Ilene, ilefkowitz@gmail.com
ReplyDeletea free cake app? sounds like that needs to go on my phone :) ~sigh~ all this snow, and i'm still at work...
ReplyDeleteCarrot cake is my favorite of all cakes, but anything homemade is best. Would love to win the cookbooks.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Canèt eat much these days, but when I do partake (and that is WAY too much), cheesecake is like Kryptonite to me. And Black Forest, and chiffon, and limonchello, and tirimisu, and ice cream, and ¨please stop me... I WILL keep going you know! ~ It's sometimes hard being a Diabetic! LOL}
ReplyDeleteCarrot Cake with Cream cheese frosting. It was my mom's favorite. She's been gone 7 years and we still have it every Thanksgiving because her birthday is at the end of November. It is my fav not only for the awesome recipe but because it makes me feel so good inside when I remember the reason we eat it.
ReplyDeleteI have to pick ONE kind of CAKE!? I have three words for you...Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate. :-)
ReplyDeletetricia at malobicky dot com

ReplyDeletejune_spirit2628 at hotmail dot com
My fave is called Rodeo Mocha Chocolate Cake.....a very moist, fudge, luscious, buttermilk based concoction! What's not to love about chocolate and espresso? Yummm
ReplyDeleteI love eating so much it's terribly difficult to pick a single all-time favourite cake! But upon deeper reflections, it has to be a carrot cake with a whole load of walnuts in it, lined and topped with cheese!! *drools*
ReplyDeleteany kind of cake with real whip cream icing
ReplyDeleteMy friend makes the best cake. She takes a butter recipe cake mix and makes it as directed but she also adds about 2 cups of Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. The ice cream just makes it sooooo moist. Then we top it with a piece of Hershey's Cookies and Cream candy bar. MMMMMMMM! It's so simple but soooooo delicious!

My favorite cake is the one my 4 kids and amazing hudband make me on my birthday. It's an orange cake-with x-tra orange juice concentrate in it and extra orange zest.

Black Magic Cake can satisfy my chocolate/childish/creative desires....anytime! I used to call it, "Aunt Mary Grace's Black Magic Cake," due to the fact it was in upstate New York where I first found this tasty feast in my Great Aunt's kitchen. She was the kind of cook who'd cook with one hand and smoke with the other. Her finished products always brought a bit of heaven to my taste buds (despite the nastiness of the ashes she was sure to have deposited whilst stirring the pot). Yes, Black Magic Cake can bring joy to anyone's heart. I guar.an.tee. My name is Tracy and my email is tip6inc@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteMy mom used to get me this regular store-bought sheet cake for my birthday when I was a kid, and there was just one thing that was special about it. It was mocha! I LOOOOOOOVE mocha flavored stuff, and the icing on this cake was to DIE for. I've tried for years to find something similar, and I've never managed. Maybe someday I'll just have to reverse-engineer it.

My all time favorite cake is a German cake with almonds and apricots. I had it when I visited several years ago, and i've never found anything in the states that compares. It was about an inch of almond cake topped with custard, then a gelatin of apricots, orange segments, and slivered almonds. So moist and absolutely amazing!
