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:

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!

Raisin filled cookies, yuck, my mother used to make these because she really likes them.
Pie, it's just not for me. I really hate the crust, it has no flavor and the fruit fillings YUCK! Fruit does not belong in dessert.
Bananas foster...because I can't stand bananas!
my least favorite would be anything with bananas...................cant stomach them..

Banana pudding is the worst dessert because it always seems to be a big pile of mush.
Cheese cake! I don't know why but I've never liked it or any dessert with cream cheese in it.
Oh those Ralphs cupcakes with shortening based frosting that don't go bad for even a month even though they're left on top of your fridge! (I only know this because my neighbour had some of these!! )
Rhubarb pie - just too tart!
flan! YUCK!
Nanaimo bars. Too sweet, and also indecisive. They can't decide what kind of dessert they are. Also, hard to pronounce name. Who wants a four-syllable dessert when you can have a single-syllable one like cake? The faster I say it, the faster I get to eat it.
Not a big cheesecake fan...
nanamo bars. But I have no idea why? Maybe because i've only had store bought ones and they are not that great?
Ek-mek . . . the name says it all. It's a dessert offering I tried once in a Greek restaurant. Maybe not all Ek-meks are made equal but the one I had at this particular restaurant had the texture (and flavor) of a rubber eraser with a bit of whipping cream on top Not that I eat rubber erasers regularly but it tasted like what I imagined biting one of my daughter's cupcake erasers would be like. YECH!
Flan wins my vote on least favorite. My taste buds are not wowed by the supposed dessert.
anything with a heavy peanut butter taste. I know I know, I must be crazy. but I guess it all started with being allergic to large amounts of peanut butter, fear starts to grow of breaking out in hives like I have before, which in turn makes me think it's just not that tasty. : ( sad day
I don't really like coconut cake. Actually, I really don't like it! I don't like the texture or flavor of coconut...
Ode to a Disgusting Honey Cake:
The Holidays are coming
They're filled with such joy!
To Mama's and Papa's we set off- Oh Boy!
The table is set
The food is abundant
To say it's delicious would be quite redundant.
But dessert time draws near
As a child-I'm filled with glee
It's all I can do to stop crying, "YIPEE!!!"
And then I see it,
From the corner of my eye
It's staring at me, intoning, "Please try me, please try."
Taken from a box and plopped on a plate
With its yellow wrapper still on,
It would patiently wait.
"Try the Honey Cake, do", said Mama so proudly
"Tradition" yelled Papa so clearly and loudly.
So like a good little soldier, I presented my plate,
I knew after one bite, it was way, way too late.
The cake was so dry it tasted like sawdust
Immediately it dried up my anticipated sweets lust.
It choked me, it gagged me, it made me quite wild
What were they thinking giving this to a child?
And from that fateful day, to this very one,
I can say that my Honey Cake days are all done!
For never again will that gross, dried-out heap
Be put in my mouth thereby making me weep.
So goodbye to the Honey Cake, tradition and all,
There are other desserts that epitomize Fall.
And those I will eat with joy and with glee,
'Cause Honey Cake will always be disgusting to me!
Rice pudding! Or tapioca pudding. I like tapioca, I like pudding, just don't put them together.
If you're wondering what I could possibly eat tapioca with if not in pudding, I grew up with a Chinese sweet dessert soup that was made with coconut milk, taro, and tiny tapioca pearls. It was served hot, and I loved it. And of course, there's bubble tea with those giant tapioca bubbles.
"Cookie salad"! I don't know who the heck made this up, but it's Cool Whip mixed with vanilla pudding, with chunks of chips ahoy and oreo cookies and MANDARIN ORANGE slices. Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew.
There's definitely a better way to do this kind of thing and the first step is non-synthetic ingredients! Haha.
Tres Leche cake. The smoochy, ooziness grosses me out! I also hate milk which doesn't help matters.
Raisin pie. Unless you're over 90 years old, no one likes raisin pie.
Fruit pies. Ewwww... I just can't stand baked fruit.
Daifuku....I love red bean paste but the gummy weird glutinous rice dough stuff gives me the creeps and makes me feel ill.
Fruitcake... it is the worst...
too-sweet donuts...ick!
