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.

How could one not want BIRTHDAY CAKE for their birthday? Because that's what I am wishing for, and it is essential that it has PINK frosting. And if it had a PICTURE of CUPPIE on it, man it would be perfect!

I want a Halloween-themed cake, even if my birthday's in January. I'm talking layers of dark chocolate, with a giant spiderweb made of frosting and little candy pumpkins on top. Every year I never want to accept the fact that the holiday season is over... why not postpone the blues?!

[AndreaBeth]

Banana cake with Banana frosting! My Mom or Grandma would make this every year for my birthday, but I moved away from home to go to school. My husband and I just moved back so I am looking forward to having my first Banana cake in years!

[Cheryl W.]

Happy Birthday, I hope it is a very special day for you. My birthday cake wish is for a Pink Lemonade cake with a Lemonade frosting with pink sparkling sugar crystals on top.

[Marcy]

I would like a Gluten Free Banana Cake with fluffy peanut butter filling and Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. Or even better same gluten free banana cake with a fluffy chocolate filling with a very peanut buttery Butter Cream Frosting.

Of course for my birthday last month I GOT NOTHING.

For my birthday... a cake talking about me...an italian girl with passion for the Beatles, who dreams to be a cake designer one day... ^_^

[eye'la]

I dream at night about a chocolate swiss roll style cake, with light minty butter cream frosting swirled inside and the whole thing covered in thick delicious chocolate ganache. Ooof. That slightly chewy cake consistency that swiss roll types have which gives just a tiny bit of resistance as you bite into it...well, it's perfect.
