Cake Week Voting Day 2 - Fruit is Good For You

To see the winner from yesterday's voting, click here.

If you want to be a winner today, let's continue!

Yesterday, there was a lot of chocolate.  Like, keyboards everywhere are going in for repairs due to the excessive amount of drooling people did, lot of chocolate.  Today, while there is no chocolate, you are not safe from drooling.

But before we unveil our second set of cake contestants, let me once again introduce our sponsors!  We've got a team of two who are making today's prizes possible!  First up, we have Ms. Foshay, from Krazy Lady Candles out of Alberta, Canada!

Ms. Foshay specializes in soy candles and melt-able tarts that smell like you'd want to eat them!  For her, candle making is an art, and she loves to share her art with you!

Our second sponsor is a O & R from ktaadn, fresh out of Maine!  A background in graphic design leads these two to create fabulous kitchen & household linens, printed in their living room!

Now, you may be wondering what these two companies have in common.  I'll tell you, as I know you hate suspense: they both make AWESOME stuff.  And, above that, they both make pink things!  Today's giveaway is strawberry-themed, in honor of our lovely fruited contestants!  From Krazy Lady Candles, we have her makes-you-hungry-it-smells-so-good Strawberry Cheesecake Candle!

It's in a mason jar.
Makes me love it even more!

And from Ktaadn, to perfectly complement the lovely candle, is a set of linen tea towels.  They say they're so bright, they're almost dayglo (eek!!).

I love these.
I want these.
Can I win, please?

ASIDE:  I have a friend, and about a year or so after knowing this friend, she disclosed to me that she used to be a beauty pageant queen.  As per my usual, I needed to know what her talent was, as I am sorely lacking any pageant-appropriate talents.  Her response: CLOGGING.  I promptly declared us friends for life, if only to one day see this in action.  I'm still looking for video evidence.

Yum yum yum.  I really should not be looking at these before breakfast, as it sorely weakens my resolve.  There are only 5 days (after today) until Easter, Cake Week 2012, and my sweet reunion with... well, sweets.  Get your votes in, I can't wait to know what I'll be making next Monday!

Off to eat fruit-sans-cake,
