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.

[JenT]

I'm hoping for my fav cake, coconut with lemon curd filling!

[koa]

I am wishing for a devil's food cake with fluffy vanilla buttercream filling &frosting!
YUM!

[Melinda F.]

Betty Crocker French vanilla. Classic and so yummy! Or an 8 layer red velvet cheesecake; something I have only heard of but not yet tasted yet really need to.

[Nicole]

Pineapple upside-down cake!

[bethany]

Um, ice cream cake, please!

[Becky]

Oooh, does cheesecake count?! Gotta LOVE chocolate cheesecake!!! YUMM-IE

[Dawn]

I'd love any cake since I'm usually the baker of the birthday cakes ... but I'd really like a Mocha cake .... dark chocolate cake, coffee icing, with shaved chocolate on top!

[defancies12]

Eight layer yellow cake with chocolate frosting... YUM!

[Katie R]

I'd love a lemon cake with cream cheese filling and slightly lemon-y buttercream icing ... so much that I'll probably make it myself for my 9/5 birthday! :)

[cory]

I hope to get a flourless chocolate cake for my birthday!

[Brenda T]

Chocolate!

[ellen]

I would love a homemade vanilla cake with chocolate frosting! But if I can get my boyfriend to make a cake instead of buy it, I don't care what flavor it is! :)

[Danielle]

It has been years since I've had a homemade birthday cake, so I think anything homemade would make me a happy girl! I would probably go with a classic yellow with chocolate buttercream... and maybe just a few sprinkles on top :)

[domestic diva]

Chocolate! I always want chocolate.

[karine]

Chocolate cake ALWAYSSSSSSS!!! It is my favorite EVER!

[kwrites]

I want the same cake that I want EVERY year for my birthday: Italian Rum Cake with peaches and strawberries with whipped cream frosting...a cake that no one (unfortunately) in my family likes but me. I want it anyway.

[sara]

Ooooooooh, good question! I think I'd like a s'mores cake this year. :)

[Sarah]

I would just love a cake. I have not had one for my B-day since 2003. It's the week of Thanksgiving, sometimes the day of, so most people are thinking pie not cake and so I tend to get passed over. :( Buuut if I could pic a cake any cake hmmmmm I would say a Lime Layer Cake with a lime butter cream frosting and sliced fresh strawberries and lime curd between the layers.

[Rachel]

Anything with lemon!

[Cara]

I was just diagnosed recently with a horrible gluten and dairy intolerance. My whole diet/life has changed upside down and I have yet to bake a real cake that tastes like the real thing. What I want for my birthday is to feel "normal" and be able to find something that accommodates my new living. The flavor, etc does not matter to me. Just a good alternative :)

[Renee]

Mmmmm, birthday cake! I am wanting some kind of stack of fudgy brownies, in lieu of a cakey-cake... Maybe a marble combination brownies and blondies! :)

[Alvaro]

A nice red velvet with some cream cheese frosting. But nothing from a box.

[C Buckland]

My birthday is in spring just as strawberries come back into season. My aunt Ellen used to make a moist, creamy strawberry cake that I crave every spring. It has a whipped cream icing. I might have to make one now!

[ShannonG]

Mmmm... My Dr. Pepper Chocolate cake with cherries.. Or I saw a recipe for a 7 layer Chocolate Covered Cherrie and Oreo cake.. Yummy!!!
