Sweet Giveaway: Matryoshka M-Cups Giveaway!
Monday, August 30, 2010 
Things that are sad: CakeSpy's birthday week is over. And (bad spy) the giveaway schedule had a slight hitch: friday's giveaway never went up! Yikes (must have been too busy eating Birthday Cake French Toast!).
Things that are glad: There's a final giveaway to cap the week and say thank you for the totally sweet memories.
That's right: here's another giveaway, this time for the lovely and amazing M-Cups by super-creative company FRED! Here's a description:
This set of 6 dry-measure cups nests neatly just like traditional Russian matryoshkas. They accurately measure 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 and 1 full cup, and they’re built from heavy-duty, food-safe, long-life engineering plastics. M-Cups are useful, easy to store, and quite charming...so why not doll up YOUR kitchen with a little Russian folklore? Each set is packaged in a full-color printed giftbox.
They're a popular seller at CakeSpy Shop, and now you can win a set for free! How? Simply answer the following pressing cake question below. US and Canadian entrants only this time, please! The giveaway will close next Tuesday, September 7, at 12pm PST. Good luck!
Here's the question:
What is your least favorite dessert, and why?
Cakespy
Update: The winner!
We have a winner, friends! It's Andrea, who has a least favorite dessert which may prove controversial:
I'm not a huge fan of chocolate chip cookies. I'd rather eat the chocolate chips straight out of the bag or have the cookie minus the chips.
Well, she can just bake something else with these totally sweet cups, I guess! Congratulations!

A russian dessert my grandmother used to make...prune's stuffed with walnuts swimming in sweet cream...maybe if it would be good if it was something other than prunes...
I can't stand anything with melon in it! Yuck.
fruitcake - do you know when others eat it their teeth squeak?
My least favorite dessert is when people try passing fruit off as a treat. Fruit is not a dessert. It is fruit. It does not take the place of cookies, candy, ice cream, and the like. I hope I win, thanks!!
Anything with Black Licorice...
I just posted the cups on my blog too...great minds think alike :)

I think my least favorite dessert is cheesecake. Not worth all the calories to me like other desserts.
(these are the cutest measuring cups, btw, adorable! if i don't win, i might have to buy them anyway!)
Sweet Potato Pie or Mincemeat Pie. They are just gross!
Anything with those super-glazed strawberries. It's a waste of perfectly good strawberries. Ick.
flan, so unappealing.
FLAN. Ugh. It looks like boogers.
Anything with coconut, bleh! I have tried to like it but I just can't.
I would have to agree that flan is my least favorite. I just don't like the texture and the taste is just blah.
anything with FRUIT in it!
yuck :[
it's supposed to be dessert:
sweet, yummy, calorie infested, and gorgeous
...no fruit
i want dessert, not a fruit salad :]
Flan - I can't handle the texture or maybe dry cake.
Rice pudding hands down.....I dont know in my head the combination of rice--something every asian eats on a daily basis, made into a pudding doesnt make sense. the consistency and taste yahh no thank you. I'll pass and have a cupcake instead :D
Fruit cake because it was forced on me during the already tense holiday season. And then I had to hear about the process that the baker goes through in making said fruit cake. This is done at great length. Every year.
I would have to say bread pudding as well. It is just too goopy.
Fig Newtons. They taste like sand.
Flan!... Being Mexican-American I might be shunned for saying that but I don't get it. Yuck!
I have been lusting after these for like a year!
My LEAST favourite dessert? Banana pudding. And I live in the south so it's at every buffet, smearing every dessert table. Something about the texture of the nilla wafers against the mushy bananas... herk, someone fetch me a pail.
It's a tie between: bread pudding, custard or anything with rhubarb. Bleh!!!
My least favorite dessert is fruitcake...although I DO like stolen and panatone. Go figure!
My least favorite dessert is still something I truly like to eat. There just aren't any desserts I can't enjoy. But for this giveaway's sake, tiramisu. It's really the consistency I'm not entirely keen on. But overall, a satisfactory taste.
I'm not a fan of nut based desserts. I love the pecan pie "goo" but the pecans on top just ruin it for me!
Anything with hidden coconut. Eewww...
:)
