Cake pops. The baking world just can’t get enough of them.

I was asked to bake something for a birthday; how could I say no? Baking really is my passion. From the little decorating details to the labor of love put into each treat, I can’t get enough.

You can see my previous cupcake pops and bouquets here, here, and here.

Because it’s Friday, because I love you guys, and because it’s my birthday, I’m doing a giveaway.

You’ll be getting all this goodness from Crate & Barrel. I went shopping on my birthday just to pick out these treats for you guys: A vibrant apron, the cookbook Giada at Home, an individual cupcake to-go container, and burger basket liners (that I normally use for cookies and picture taking). Don’t you feel special? We can learn how to cook together!

What, a giveaway on my birthday? That doesn’t even make sense.

Of course it does! You see… I’m too old to be receiving gifts, so I figured that I’d give a gift away instead. On my birthday, it’s everyone’s birthday; We all get to share in the love.

My blog would be nothing without word of mouth. Especially in these last few weeks, I’ve never felt more grateful for you guys and for your support. Thank you!!

To enter this giveaway, I want you to spread the word. Tell a stranger, post it on Facebook, tweet about it, write an email… however you choose do it, tell others about this giveaway or my blog. Leave a comment telling me how you chose to spread the word and an email address for me to reach you at. A link to your status update is a plus! Giveaway ends a week from today, Friday, September 2nd, 2011 at 11:59 PM Pacific time and a winner will be chosen via random.org. Open to US residents only, sorry!


Good luck!

    I had to share this with one of my best friends, because like, you… she loves to bake. We’ve actually tried making these “pops” before with our kids. So fun and super yummy!

    thanks!

    I posted a link to your ‘sweet’ blog on my Twitter, but I have it locked for security. The name is @McAwsm if you need to verify that I have it. I don’t really care about the giveaway because I’m a dude that just likes to cook, but I’m getting the word out!

    i actually left a link to a couple of the recipes i made the other week in a private, offtopic community i am a member of. i’d link you, but you wouldn’t be able to see. if you keep track of metrics for your blog and noticed some random incoming traffic from livejournal the other week, that was my doing! my email is mattrhunter@gmail.com

    First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. What a GREAT giveaway. I love this, and your blog. First of all, you’ve had a permanent promotion on one of my Squidoo lenses: http://www.squidoo.com/Potluck-Parties
    I linked to your blog for people who may be looking for some dessert ideas for a potluck. I hope it brings you some traffic. I tweeted, too. You’ll see it on your @Mentions. 🙂

    LOL! I have already spreaded the word about your blog. My sister knows, my boyfriend knows, heck I wouldn’t be surprised if my baby nephew knew! Whenever I’m on here, my BF goes “who’s that?” and then nods, “nevermind it’s the baker girl from california!” LMAO. Sorry he doesn’t know your name. But dang I wish I had a cakepop right now. Love how adorable you make them look!!
