CSN review and a fab Fall-Tacular giveaway!
Did you know it has been in the 70's here?! And one night this week it is due to get into the 40's?? Ummm, YES please! It is no secret I LOVE fall, and I love this weather. On cooler days, I especially love to come inside and bake for my family. I love to bake about as much as I love fall and I do admit to baking year round. However, there is something so wonderful about baking in the fall. From pound cake, to pumpkin squares, I love it all.
When I bake I always bake from scratch as I find it is great to be able to control what goes into my food. I also think it is easy! Especially when you have a great mixer. Behold:
This is my new baby. I have had my eye on a kitchenaid stand mixer for what seems to be forever, but with a price tag of over $300, I will have to wait. However, when CSN contacted me to do another review for them, I was thrilled to be able to try out the Cuisinart 7 speed mixer. Now the mixer I had before had recently broken down and I needed a new one. My old one had no power and only one speed and was impossible to mix things like butter cream icing and egg whites.
Not anymore! This mixer can do it ALL! It is so powerful and can honestly handle anything including thick dough. My only complaint is that it is so robust (for a tiny little person like myself) that my arm hurts after awhile from holding it. Ha! Not to bad of a complaint!
I had to test it out right away and I made lemon pound cake! When I made the lemon butter cream for it, I have never been more proud of an appliance. For the first time ever ( I have been perfecting my butter cream recipe for ages) my icing came out perfect and thick. I am in love y'all!
I am so happy with it that I am rethinking needing a stand mixer at all! Well okay, maybe I still want one someday...
Anyway, TODAY, you have a chance to win a KitchenAid Artisan Series Tilt-Head Stand Mixer of your very own! You even get to pick the color!
How is that!? Kitchenaid is known for their quality and excellence and are the standard for today's kitchens. With a mixer to match every budget and every style, you can't go wrong!
All you have to do is follow me on google friend connect, visit CSN and KitchenAid and leave a comment telling me what color you would like! It is that easy!
Extra entries:
Follow me on Twitter
Tweet about this giveaway and leave me the link (can be done daily)
Have my blog button on your blog
Have my Fall-Tacular button on your blog
Blog about this giveaway and leave me the link
The winner will be chosen on October 8, 2010 at 12pm. Good luck!
The fine print:
Although the mixer I reviewed was supplied by CSN, the opinions of said mixer are my own. It is also important to note, that although CSN sponsored this review, they are not sponsoring the giveaway (kitchenaid mixer) as that is being supplied by a third party and will ship directly to you if you win! Good luck!

Can I enter via one of the 'extra entries' mechanisms? I already follow you on twitter and I am happy to RT on this contest. I do not know how to leave a "tweet link" but I know that if I RT you will see it. Let me know if I am entered: twitter.com/therextras
Thanks! Barbara
no problem! All you have to do to give me the twitter link, is click on the time below the tweet and it will isolate that tweet. Copy the URL and give it to me here in the comments! And yes, you can do all of the "extras" giving you a total of 6 entries! Good luck!
Okay! I'm not much of a gambler but I will enter drawings.

It's so hard to choose a color. I think if I won this, I would go on the safe side and choose Silver Metallic although the more daring side of me would pick some happy bright color.
