Bake Me A Wish Review *GIVEAWAY*

In just a few days my mother-in-law turns 70 and I couldn't think of any better way to celebrate this momentous milestone than a delicious cake from Bake Me A Wish. This lovely online bakery specializes in some of the most mouth watering cakes from coffee drenched Tiramisu Classico Cake to classic Carrot Cake. But for this chocoholic family, nothing but the Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake would do for Yiayia's special day.


We were so pleased to recently have the opportunity to receive this delectable cake from Bake Me A Wish. Just take a look at the pictures to see how outrageous and chocolate rich it was. As their website describes it...

Our moist & fudgy brownie cake goes through three chocolate "passes" before it's "done": first it's enrobed in rich chocolate, then it gets completely blanketed with a shower of dark chocolate shaves; last, the cake is finished with milk and dark chocolate glazes drizzled all over and the Belgian chocolate plaque of your choice; for a brownie dessert that's over-the-top-triple-delicious!



Hungry Yet? Our cake arrived quickly, securely packaged in a cooler of dry ice. Nestled inside, the elegant signature gold and purple logo box housed our yummy chocolate delight. We were so excited to take a bite of of this treat and it didn't disappoint. We loved the over the top brownie flavor that pairs perfectly with a tall glass of icy cold milk. The chocolate shaves added just a tiny bit of crunchy goodness and cake was moist and delicious without being overly rich. The fudgy frosting and drizzle added that extra special touch. Everyone in my family agreed this dessert was absolutely the best brownie cake we've ever had and coupled with the convenience of having it delivered to our home, thought the whole experience was wonderful.

Bake Me A Wish offers a shipping guarantee to ensure your yummy cake arrives on time. Plus, if you have a soldier overseas they will ship to APO/FPO adresses. They're also giving back: 5% of all sales are donated to their Operation: Birthday Cake program which provides cakes to our soldiers fighting in Iraq.

MixMyGranola Review *GIVEAWAY*

**CONTEST CLOSED**


I have found love and it goes by the name of MixMyGranola. I was stoked when asked if I'd be interested in trying custom created granola. Gourmet and organic food? I am so there! Although, I've never been much into granola, I figured it'd be fun making my own blend. I had a great time perusing their attractive and colorful site with my husband as we worked on our Mix. It was hard to decide with four granola bases, mix-ins like fruit, nuts, and the not so healthy options such as organic gummy bears and candy corn. Our heads were spinning with all our options, which means your own mix is full of endless possibilities, but we were able to narrow it down and soon our blend was created which we dubbed Sir-Mix-A-Lot (you can name your blend too!). We were even able to see Sir's nutrional value right on the page with their Nutrition Calculator. After that came the waiting part. By the time we'd finished our transaction we were salivating and hoped the folks at Mixmygranola would hurry up and get to mixing. We were happily surprised by the next afternoon to receive an email that our Mix had been created and was ready to ship. The very next day we got home to find our sleek MixMyGranola tube waiting for us on our front porch.
We didn't hesitate to crack it open and were blown away with the quality and freshness of our blend. Every ingredient was crisp, crunchy, and chewy just like it should be. Both my husband and I were hooked from the first bite. It was so delicious straight out of the can, with milk like cereal, on yogurt, or as a healthy topping on ice cream. We ripped right through our Mix within two days and were sad to reach the bottom of the canister.

We're already contemplating our next blend although we'll have to save up a bit first. The only negative we could find on MixMyGranola is that custom created granola ain't cheap. Our blend cost $17.49 which includes $4.99 for shipping so this is definitely a luxury item. Hopefully they'll be able to lower their prices as their company continues to take off but in the meantime, it's a really great idea and a fantastic product. If you're looking for something different for mom, MixMyGranola would make a great gift for Mother's Day. It's a healthy present for teacher's last day, and a thoughtful birthday present for the guy who has everything. Or just be selfish and get some for yourself.

Want It? Win it?
MixMyGranola is giving a very yum-worthy giftcard worth $20 to one lucky person.

The Details: One lucky winner will receive a $20 giftcard to MixMyGranola to create their very own custom granola mix. The Rules: Visit MixMyGranola and tell me three ingredients you'd want in your mix. Bonus Entry: Tell me what you'd name your mix.
