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 guess I'm just a traditionalist, a death by chocolate cake with toffee bits and the perfect butter cream frosting.

I have to admit that I am perhaps the only bride in America that put a Kitchen Aid mixer on her registry for BOTH weddings and never got one. >.< I know I'll get one someday (perhaps through this contest?) but I keep thinking and dreaming of the damage I could do with one ^_^

[Mari Anne]

Since I never even got a piece of my wedding cake and my husband is horrible at planning anything for any kind of celebration... I would love a recreation of my wedding cake... a lemon cream cake with a raspberry filling....mmmmm

[Grace]

I'd love an apple pie with crust that includes bacon drippings.

[Ashley Williams]

Pumpkin Cheesecake!!

[Tessa Huff]

I would like a red velvet cake (cooked flour frosting, NOT cream cheese frosting) or try the carrot cake cheesecake cake.

A remake of my great grandmother's traditional Red Velvet Cake with buttercream frosting...yum!

A brownie cake with peanut butter cream cheese icing!

I like white cake with white icing for my birthday with chocolate ice cream on the side. Of course, any cheese cake would be good too.

Happy Birthday Bakerella.
