Hello world.
It's time.
Time for the Pre-Cake Week VOTING to begin!
Today, our lovely contestants are all brought together by a common bond - chocolate. We have no fewer than seven, count 'em SEVEN chocolate cakes that are all vying for your vote! Some are light and fluffy, some are a *bit* heavier, but trust me, they have a great personality. We've opted not to publish the swimsuit competition photos this year, but did give each contestant the opportunity to describe themselves in 5 words or less. Unfortunately, they all picked only one: Chocolatey. All are worthy, but only one can win.
Before we get to know the gals, I want to introduce today's sponsor, the perfect sponsor to kick off all things sweet, Have It Sweet Confections out of Los Angeles, California. That's right, they're totally West-Coast-Cool.
Crafting fine artisan confections, this husband/wife/daughter team makes everything by hand, in small batches, to be sure they're bringing you the very best! And although it was difficult to choose, we settled on the following gifts for one lucky voter today!

Moist Chocolate Cake all the way. The nest cake is adorable, but the other contains coffee and looks like it's DYING for a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Of course, I'm voting for the Bird Nest Cake. 1. because I nominated it. Duh. and 2. chocolate chip filling. Again, duh. Duh to me, not anyone else who hasn't voted yet!
ReplyDeleteTwo favorites at Have it Sweet... Sugar cookie marshmallows (!) and Golden Vanilla Caramel lollipops. Good Grief. Oh, and I vote for the bird nest cake, AGAIN.
