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 can't decide between a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake (chocolate cake and mint chip ice cream, of course!) and my family's Arabic Spice Cake. I'll take either - or both!

[Kristen]

Just had my 30th bday too! For my next one I want a lemon cake with lemon curd filling and lemon meringue frosting...you can never have too much lemon! Ok, I suppose it could be a mix of citruses, but citrus is a must :)

Hooray for Birthdays, Cake and that beautiful mixer! This birthday of mine coming up is one I've been dreading, so I'm hoping for something really over the top. Oodles of layers, marzipan in between the layers or marzipan flowers-- have to get that in there somewhere, and no shortage of flavours (chocolate, ginger, orange--). But I want it to look way over the top like these cakes

[sindy]

my birthday isnt coming up for a while.. but i'm wishing for a strawberry tofu mousse cake :) i had one last year too.. my favourite cake of all time!

[Marla]

Recently, it's all about savory and sweet for me...and since I have missed the chocolate covered bacon at the Iowa State Fair (alas, I am in Honolulu), I am shooting for something savory and sweet for my birthday cake: dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate butter cream icing topped by a swiping of caramel sauce in the layers, followed by a drizzling of caramel on top of the top layer of frosting, capped off with sprinkles of fleur de sel. Magnifico!!!

[Krystal B.]

A GIANT donut cake, with chocolate frosting and colored sprinkles! :)

My 30th birthday cake looked like a completed Trivial Pursuit wheel. Quite frankly, I don't care what my next birthday cake looks like. As long as it tastes like peanut butter, I'm cool.

[Lulu]

I would love to have a cake with sugar, chocolate, more sugar, more chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, even more chocolate, even more sugary goodness, need I go on?

[Jody Ferlaak]

I love any cake with homemade buttercream icing. I like a bavarian cream filling too. Unless it's carrot cake. Italian Cream cake would hit the spot too! Yay for Top Chef Just Desserts. I love getting my sweet tooth fix via tv. =)
