Best Giveaway Ever: Win a Copy of Big Little Felt Universe AND a Handmade Felt Cake by Jeannette Lim

Dudes. Dudettes. You know that I don't like to speak in absolutes (yes I do) but...this is, without a doubt, the biggest, best, awesomest giveaway ever.

Here's the deal. Indie crafter/Etsy artist, Jeanette Lim has just come out with a new book entitled Big Little Felt Universe: Sew It, Stuff It, Squeeze It, Fun! --which I learned about thanks to my friends at Lark Crafts. BLFU features over 70 fun stitched-felt projects—including food items, desserts, and interactive play kits.

And you can win a copy--awesome, right? But wait, there's more: The author, Jeanette, handmade the cake shown at the top of this post for the book, and she donated it for this special giveaway on CakeSpy!!! As you can see, it’s a vanilla cake with eight different kinds of fruit topping, and it comes with candles that stand up via magnets, a serving plate, spatula, and a cake box with a ribbon (not shown) -- all made out of felt!

I know, I know: you want to win this. But how to enter?

It's easy. All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me what kind of cake you're going to have for your birthday this year. I can be a cake you're sure you'll have, or just the dream cake--fantasy allowed.

But--since I'm not above coercing you to like me, I'll enter you in the running TWICE if you "Like" me (CakeSpy) on Facebook. Yeah, you heard me. Do it. 

Giveaway will close on Tuesday, March 29 at noon PST!

Carrot cake, please! I missed cake on my bday the last 2 years, so I'm ready!!

Dark chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. With sprinkles. Because it's not a birthday without sprinkles.

[Jessica Maddox]

My absolute favorite is Hummingbird cake with cream cheese frosting! I am hoping I will get one for my birthday this year!

[Piper]

I think I want some strawberry cake this year!

I did like cakespy on fb

I think I want a Chocolate Guinness cake this year or maybe Sweet Potato cupcakes. Luckily I have until August to make up my mind.

[Jennie Beth]

I'm thinking a 3-layer cake with pink frosting and edible flowers. Or chocolate. A girl can never go wrong with chocolate.

[Sarah]

Anything chocolate. Or maybe the 15 layer vanilla / chocolate cake Bakerella makes. :) Decisions, decisions....

[Jessica]

I'm hoping for a strawberry and pastry cream-filled cake from Bakery Nouveau... my fingers are so very crossed.

[Vanessa]

I would really, really love something decadent: a mash-up of cheesecake, red velvet, and dark chocolate and coffee flavors worked in there somehow. Mmmmmmmm

[Ana]

I'd love a red velvet cake, with cream cheese frosting and strawberries on top!

[dawn]

I think it will be a chocolate cake from Jaciva Bakery in Portland. The best.

[martina fegan]

I would like a coconut cake for my birthday!

[martina fegan]

I liked you on facebook!

My birthday cake this year will either be a chinese cake... which is a sponge type cake with frosting (which isn't really sweet) and a lot of fruit all over it, or a surprise cake which is usually vanilla ice cream cake with yummy frosting all over it and fruit! :) (I have a summer birthday!)

I really like your website by the way its so cute and happy!

[yan]

Carrot cake!

[Jasmina]

My birthday was February 1st and I had a 3 layer cake, hazelnuttorte base, chocolate pudding and vanilla creme, it was goooood!

[MixBakeFrost]

I think my dream birthday cake would be the blackberry spice cake with cream cheese frosting that is one of my favorite cakes to make. Since I have three brothers and four teenage sons, I'm going to have to make my own birthday cake if I'm going to have one. Luckily, I love to bake!

[Gina]

Would like carrot but since I share with my husband it will probably have to be chocolate

[Farrah]

My mom's scratch recipe for chocolate cake that she (or some ancestor) called a "Black Oil Cake". its super dark and super moist. as a kid I prefered it with fluffy white icing, but now its peanut butter!

[Jen B]

My birthday is in July, so I usually have an ice cream cake. This year I am going to have a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake. Yum.

[Aimee]

PIneapple Upside Down Cake... love love love

[Stephanie]

A homemade funfetti cake! Cause you can't get more festive than lots of colorful sprinkles.

I also "like" you on Facebook :)

[laurs]

My fantasy cake is the swedish princess cake, i've never tried it but i know i'd love it. My more realistic cake would be my favorite mascarpone cheesecake. MMM.

[Cheryl]

My birthday has come and gone this year (and I didn't get a cake)so I will have to dream. I would like a yellow cake with buttercream icing. Both should have an almond flavor. I know how sad no birthday cake and no imagination. But I am about the simple things made with the best ingredients with a great taste.

[Paula Urquhart]

I will make my scrumptiously RAW & DEE-LISH Banana Cream Pie/Cake that's right RAW & UNCOOKED!!! yummo!!
I do have a photograph of my raw creation however it's on FACEBOOK under my profile in my Raw Gurl to Bee...
