Oh--what a perfect time to introduce the treasure of Portland, Maine--Simply Divine Brownies. They boast a retail bake shop, and will ship their brownies nationwide.
And oh, the brownies. At Casa de CakeSpy, we'd been mildly obsessed with these brownies since having discovered the adorable brownies that look like cupcakes, with the other items on the menu--like dense, chewy brownies in a plethora of flavors and sizes--just adding to the obsession.
And now, dear, lucky readers, you too can share this sweet joy.
Yup: Simply Divine has kindly offered a brownie care package for giveaway on this site.

2. If ice cream is considered an icing, then yes!
3. Middle all the way!
