Power of Pink Roundup and a Winner!
First, I’d like to thank everyone who participated in the Power of Pink Challenge this year. I know breast cancer has touched many of our lives. I’m hoping that this challenge has helped to raise awareness of this disease.
On a related note, I am starting training for the Avon Walk today. A good friend of mine offered to sign up to walk 39.3 miles over two days with me at some time next year. If you remember, Hubby and I were on the crew for the Boston Avon Walk this past year. In 2010, my friend A and I will be walking and our Hubbies will be on the crew. I’m sure I will be talking more about the walk over the next few months. It’s going to be an adventure for sure!
But now back to the challenge. Here are the submissions that I got throughout the month.
CB from I heart Cuppycakes made Lemon Angel Food Cupcakes with Strawberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Kris from A Baker’s Remix made Breast Cancer cakes
Dorothy from Fuzzykoala’s Caketastic Adventures made A Pink Pumpkin Spice Cake
Jelli from Jelli Bean Journals made Vanilla Cupcakes with Pink Frosting
Romina from Sweetened with Love made Pink Ribbon Cupcakes and Cookies
Kathleen from Kat’s Kitchen Place made Cowgirl Cookies
Erin from Milk & Honey made Chocolate Pinks
Claudia from Highlowaha made Double D’s cake pops

Yudith from Blissfully Delicious made Pink Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Xiaolu from 6 Bittersweets made Redless Velvet Cupcakes with Pink Frosting
Stefany from Proceed with Caution made Think Pink Cheesecake
And I made chocolate pink M&M cookies
Thanks again everyone for participating in the challenge. And now it’s time for the fun part! Choosing the winner. I did it the old-fashioned way this time. I cut up little pieces of paper, wrote names on each piece and threw them in a hat. I had Hubby draw a name out of that hat.
And the winner of this fabulous prize is…
…Kris! Congratulations!!
Please email me your address and I will get your prize out as soon as possible.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
You know, I finally saw the cookie episode you keep mentioning last night. I caught it on right before bed! 🙂 It made me think of you.
Congratulations to Rachel!! And I would be sad that I didn’t win, but the day after I read your post I found the book at Costco and bought it! Couldn’t help myself. I had even told my husband about it knowing he would get it for Christmas or my birthday…but couldn’t wait.
And it is even more wonderful than I thought it would be! Thank you for the heads up. I don’t know what rock I had been living under, but I hadn’t even HEARD about this book until you posted about it!
And I am already anticipating volume two and three!
hehe – I just sent you an email! So excited to win something!!!
And yes Julie – I taped the cookie episode yesterday too. I always use the “Mrs. Fields/ Nieman Marcus $250 cookie recipe” but I will have to try Alton’s now that I have his book. =)
Thank you!!!!!!!
Yes, My DVR caught the chocolate chip cookie episode too. I can’t wait to watch it again.
I’m planning on reading this cookbook like a novel, front to back. There’s so much good info in it.
Congrats to the winner.
