Sweet Giveaway: Win a KitchenAid Mixer or a Cupcake Kit, Compliments of Top Chef Just Desserts

I'm sure that there's something better than winning stuff, but at this moment, nothing is coming to mind.

That's because my friends (we're totally BFF, didn't you know? Of course, see note at bottom) at Bravo have offered up this totally mega-sweet giveaway because of their extreme happiness surrounding the premiere of Top Chef Just Desserts Season 2. Want to read more about it? OK: 

The chef'testants and the sugar are back for season 2! As the pastry chefs meet and greet, they are surprised by host Gail Simmons and head judge Johnny Iuzzini with their first Quickfire Challenge.  One of the first challenges includes a fairy-tale inspired dessert. Imagination and talent are a must to survive the not-so-sugar coated competition. Will the chef's be able to get past their first-challenge nerves and fight their way to sweet success, or will the pressure make some contestants crumble from the start? Find out this Wednesday 8/24 @ 10/9c on the PREMIERE of BRAVO's Top Chef Just Desserts 2

Two winners will be chosen. A grand prize winner will receive a gorgeous Kitchen-Aid Mixer; a runner-up will win this cute and sweet cupcake kit. 

How do you enter? Totally easy. Since this week not only marks the premiere of Season 2 of Just Desserts but my own 30th season of life (aka, it's my birthday on the 26th), tell me what kind of birthday cake you're wishing for this year. Leave it in the comments section below (comments are moderated so don't cry if you don't see it pop up right away!) or on the CakeSpy facebook page! But don't delay: this giveaway closes on August 26th at 5pm PST.

The fine print: This prize was provided by the BRAVO Network but BRAVO is not a sponsor, administrator, or involved in any other way with this giveaway. All opinions expressed in the post are my own and not those of BRAVO. Per prize donor: entrants from the USA only.

UPDATE: The winners! The KitchenAid went to Erika of Fargo, ND, and the cupcake kit went to Suzanne S. of Austin, TX! Congratulations, ladies.

I'm hoping my hubby will make his famous Chocolate cake -box cake mix :) topped with Chocolate buttercream. Cake decorated by the sweet hands of our 4 year old, which I'm sure there won't be a inch without sprinkles from every holiday. Seeing my son's face light up when I act suprised and praise his beautiful cake creation is one of the best gifts I get on my birthday.

My favorite cake has always been a marbled yellow and chocolate cake with buttercream frosting for a December birthday. It's the best of both worlds for someone who often can't make up her mind! I don't think I've had one since I was 17 :)
And happy birthday to the cakespy in 3 days!

[Lejla]

I love raspberries and chocolate! A moist chocolate cake with raspberry filling and raspberries on top would be heaven!

[Caitlin]

My birthday just happened and I had a perfect cake. It was a chocolate peanut butter mouse cake. It was super yummy.

[chanette]

i would love to get a bithday cake thats half team devil and one half team angel.. that would be sooo cool

[JulieB]

This year, I don't really want a cake so much as a lovely tiramisu. It is one of my favorite desserts and one I can share (if I am so inclined).

[Janelle]

I'm hoping for my mom's chocolate wacky cake with thick chocolate frosting. Totally divine! :P

[Risha]

Definitely chocolate. 4 layers with Swiss buttercream lighted scented with orange zest and rum. Maybe orange marmalade layered inside with the butterceam. I always have chocolate chips on the outside walls of the cake just like my dad did on my childhood birthday cakes. It's a tasty tradition!

[Robbie]

Would love a double chocolate with peanut butter/fluffernutter frosting....

[Des]

Oooo I would love a chocolate cake with a raspberry filling or bavarian cream filling and a simple whipped icing... Yum

[Laurie R.]

I'd love a coconut cake with lime buttercream.

[Elisabeth]

My birthday's in two weeks. If I'm feeling up to it, homemade cake balls, most likely one fruit flavor and one chocolate cinnamon. And if I'm not up to making my own cake, I'm driving over to The Sweet Tooth Fairy for some of their cake bites.

[alisa]

I'd like any cake just as long as it's made by someone who cares about me.

[saral]

I would really love a Devil's food cake!

[Sandi G]

I am dreaming of a chocolate multilayer cake with coconut filling and cream cheese icing - with more coconut!

Magnolia Bakery's chocolate cake with vanilla frosting is godly! Or maybe a cheesecake?
