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.

Red Velvet with cream cheese icing!! So decadent it is a real treat :)

[Cori]

I always hope for ice cream cake, though last year I discovered a frozen cupcake is a reasonable substitute!

[Cheryl]

OMG I really want to win!! The birthday cake I would want to win is a super cake batter flavor cake with almond filling and super rich buttercream frosting.. YUM!!

[bless]

red velvet will always be my favorite, but it has to be from martha's bakery

[nicole risili]

My birthday isn't until march but I am already hinting that I want a pumpkin inspired cake from my favorite bakery in PA called vegan treats.

the shop is awesome and so are the treats!!!

I cant wait for fall to start baking pumpkin goodies myself and this prize would be fantastic!!

[mary kate]

I am wishing for an angel food cake.

[Paige]

I'm hoping for a home made cake from my boyfriend. He's a savory cook but also great at baking if he tries. I would absolutely love to have a yellow cake with chocolate frosting and lots of candles. Simple and awesome.

[Melanie]

I'd love a really tall cake (like the ones they take to the bazaar on the movie Pollyanna--I've always dreamed of a cake like that), preferably chocolate with chocolate frosting. And if it was decorated in a Doctor Who or White Stripes theme, that would be a bonus.

[Yuchen]

Red Velvet cake with a cream cheese filling and cream cheese topping. =)

[Julia]

For my most recent birthday my magnificent mother got up extra early to pick raspberries to make jam to top an already knee-weakeningly good almond cheesecake. I could practically still taste the sun the berries had soaked up in the morning as I devoured every last ruby drop in the evening. It was a once in a lifetime dessert, but if I could have it for my next birthday, I would be one happy girl : )

[Dani Nicole]

Happy Birthday soon!! I'm wishing for a chocolate cake with fudge filling and pink icing, made by my mum =)

[Joe]

Chocolate cake! Always always always chocolate.

[Sespi]

Irish Car Bomb cake -- a chocolate Guinness cake with Bailey's cream cheese filling and a chocolate whiskey buttercream frosting. YUM.

[Jodi]

My mom used to make a bundt cake that was a mixture of sherbert and broken up pieces of angel food cake and it was devine!!! I would like to find that recipe so I could mix up my own birthday cake just like my mom used to make me :)

[Sara Pea]

i want a smores cake this year!! yeah!

I always ask for a Carvel snickers ice cream cake but dh never listens and doesn't plan ahead of time. cant get it in my hometown.

[Bettie]

Pina colada cake with pina colada icing!

[Melissa]

Spice cake with maple cream cheese frosting. So tasty.

[Jessie]

I always dream of a chocolate cake with a custard frosting. Does that exist? I want it.

[Beverly L]

I want a cake that involves some lemon and pistachio, maybe with a vanilla bean type of frosting.

[Justine]

I dream about my mom's chocolate cake with Peppermint Crisp grated over the icing (it's a South African chocolate bar - delicious!). Since we live 10 000 miles apart, it's a treat I don't get to have very often. Now you've made me all nostalgic!

[Mily]

i want a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting..

[Emily]

A yummy vanilla bean cake with vanilla buttercream and lemon curd.

Ice cream cake that actually has cake in it & not just ice cream.

[Sophia V.]

my name is sophia i am 15 yers old and hope to pursue a life as a cake decorator. But last year i read a book called "The Help". in it one of the main characters made a chocolate custard pie(with a certain special ingredient...im not gunna spoil it for you!). my mom made it for her book club and i fell in love with the flavor (theres nothing better than home made pie). so for the second year in a row my birthday "cake" will be a chocolate custard pie with a cookie and sugar crust and whipped cream icing..Yum!

[daisy]

Chocolate cake.....
