Celebrate More Holiday Pillsbury Baking Giveaway! (closed)

_DSC3696

More people bake during the holiday season than any other time of year. Not only does cold weather mean that it’s nice to have the oven on, heating up the kitchen, but there are all kinds of parties and get-togethers to celebrate – and often celebrating means sharing homemade baked goods. I bake all year long and it always seems a little bit more special around the holidays. To make sure that your holiday baking goes smoothly, I teamed up with Pillsbury® to host a holiday giveaway that includes lots of goodies that will allow you to celebrate more easily – and more deliciously – than ever. The gift pack is full of seasonal mixes and frostings, and includes a gift card that will ensure that your kitchen is well-stocked with anything you might need for your holiday baking projects!

The winter giveaway includes:

  • One Garland Green Vanilla Flavored Holiday Funfetti Frosting
  • One Rudolph Red Vanilla Flavored Holiday Funfetti Frosting
  • One Dark Chocolate Seasonal Cake Mix
  • One Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Mix
  • One Peppermint Frosting
  • One Holiday Sugar Cookie Mix
  • A $100 dollar Visa or American Express gift card

Total estimated giveaway value: $115

To enter the contest, just leave a comment below and tell me about your favorite holiday baking tradition or what you love to make. The winner of the contest will be chosen at random, so those who love to decorate gingerbread cookies to serve at holiday parties will have a equal chance to those who always whip up a batch of eggnog pancakes on Christmas morning! The contest ends at midnight Friday, December 6th and one winner will be randomly selected from the entries at that time. Don’t forget to fill in your e-mail on the comment form (it will not be made public), as that is how I will contact the winner, and good luck to everyone!

And if you need some inspiration when it comes to putting those mixes to good use, try making my Cranberry Pecan Shortbread Tart. It’s perfect for entertaining and you would never guess that it started with a sugar cookie mix!

    I love to bake sugar cookies and molasses cookies at Christmastime. While I was living in nearby in the same state, my mom, sister and I would get together each year to make sugar cookies and decorate them. I really miss doing that. I also love to bake my grandmother’s recipe of carrot cookies.

    I make tons and tons of cookies… and I love doing it. Favorite the nut cresents, loving called Sardine Cookies because the kids won’t eat them if they think the flecks in the cookies are ground up Sardines! Happy Holidays to you!

    mini star topped fruit mince pies. Dangerous because they are perfectly bite sized so you’re never aware of how many you have downed….
