Hazelnut Cake with Mocha Whipped Cream~
ReplyDeleteWow, 800 comments already! My favorite dessert is my mom's Graham Cracker cake. Oh how I would love to win that book!!! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteFavorite Desert??? That's a tough choice! So many deserts, so little time!
ReplyDeleteI have always kind of leaned toward cheesecake or chocolate cake, but since moving to the mountains of New Mexico it has been the "State Cookie" . . ."Biscochitos". I am in heaven!!!
They are served as desert at all functions!!! YAY!!
Thank you for all the fun here, Bonnie! I ordered a Sew Mate for my Featherweight, thanks for the info as I saw it here first! Favorite dessert...anything chocolate! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dessert is a piece of strawberry/rhubarb pie with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. Gotta love that combo. Come on SUMMER! :) Thanks for the drawing!
Pick just one? I love cheesecake but it has to be a lemony New York style with a good drizzle of fudge sauce and another of raspberry or strawberry. That or my Lemon Cream Dessert with a walnut shortbread crust. Hm, I probably should have eaten breakfast first.

ReplyDeleteFavorite dessert, wow ... hmmmm.... right now I'd have to say it's the gluten free peanut butter cookies my DH and I have for dessert on Saturday nights ... it's probably the only gluten free thing either of us has had, and it's amazing - we both look forward to it all week!
ReplyDeleteYou are the best at helping us make beautiful quilts with all your scrap quilt patterns. You are so generous with your talents and I thank you very much for all the patterns.

You deserve to be spoiled! Favorite NEW dessert is granny smith apple thinly sliced and drizzled with 80% cacao melted dark chocolate. The book looks amazing! Thanks for the chance to win. Allison in Plano. allon0711@yahoo.com
ReplyDeletechocolate, chocolate, chocolate! cookies, cake, cheesecake== they are all good!
ReplyDeleteSomething flakey with custard in it. Not the frozen kind that's been thawed out and still has that "refrigerator" taste.... No, sir-ree! The fresh kind of pastry! That's gotta be my favorite. Next, would be a concoction or mixture of chocolate and caramel.... in whatever shape or form. If its got chocolate and caramel, its a sure winner for me. *grin*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest!

ReplyDeleteSchaum torte
ReplyDeleteLove all desserts but my favorite one is one my grandma made me every year for my birthday(from the time I was 1yr. old) until she died. It was an angel food cake w/ a homemade Almond custard filling & whipped cream frosting. Yum! Yum! She also made me several quilts that got me interested in quilting myself.
ReplyDeleteBeing a quilter, of course I love everything chocolate, but I think my absolute favorite is a fresh blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. That Block Party loot looks amazing! Thanks for giving away this book!
ReplyDeleteAnything chocolate! A creamy chocolate mousse, chocolate brownies (love the ones with the cream cheese swirled in) As long as it's chocolate, I'm there! lol
ReplyDeletecoconut cream pie with meringue, and not the kind made with pudding
ReplyDeletePumpkin Pie after dinner and then the next morning for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteOregon Marionberry pie and ice cream...
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie - My favourite dessert has to be peach trifle with Irish Cream drizzled in the layers! MMMMMMMM!
ReplyDeleteBoston Creme Pie
ReplyDeleteVanilla ice cream with black raspberries.
ReplyDeleteI have an incredible sweeet tooth- nothing so far is too rich or too sweet, maybe this is due to past generations owning sugar plantations. I'd have to say my favorite is one that is not real common- The Cake that Won't Last. With me in the house it does not last. Basically a white cake mix doctored up with pecans, crushed pineapple, mashed bananas.... and a cream cheese icing. Lumpier than a carrot cake or hummingbird cake, more ingredients than most Italian cream cakes. I served it to the beau on our second date...I think it helped convince him to stick around. Teresa in TX, reesiek@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteApple Crumb pie with ice cream is my favorite. Sounds like a great time out in Portland.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dessert is New York cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteAnything I don't have to make!!! So I can keep on piecing!

ReplyDeletemy favorite dessert would have to be a fudgy brownie or cake. Cheesecake is a good one too!
ReplyDeleteCoconut Cream Pie! But I have to say that sweets are my thing and it truely is hard to pick a favorite! I love your books and quilts.
ReplyDeleteI haven't much imagination as pumpkin pie will always be my favorite dessert. Just looked out the window and it is snowing so hard! Seems like spring will never come, although my lilac bushes have just the tiniest sign of budding going on. Have a great time in Portland.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite desert is Paula Deen's "Better Than S--" cake. I even won the best cake award at my son's Boy Scout Blue & Gold banquet.

It's very difficult for me to choose just one favorite dessert, so I will tell you about my most recent wonderful dessert find. On the Design Sponge website, I found a recipe for Chocolate Coconut Caramel Cookies, which is a fresh, delicious, rich and decadent homemade version of the Girl Scout Samoa cookies. You must try it. The recipe is here ---> http://www.designsponge.com/2012/11/in-the-kitchen-with-lara-ferronis-chocolate-coconut-caramel-cookies.html

ReplyDeleteBeing a true southern girl, my favorite dessert is warm peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top. YUM! Hope you're having wonderful times in Portland!
ReplyDeleteBanana pudding--my grandmother's recipe only! All other recipes fall very short of scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dessert is fresh raspberries -- picking my own from the massive patch (black, red, purple and yellow varieties) at my sister's.
ReplyDeleteHmm - favorite dessert? Does "all of them" count? No? Well, If I positively absolutely have to choose only one, it would be a pecan ball! Vanilla ice cream rolled in toasted pecans, served with hot fudge! Oh, I just made myself hungry! Off to scrounge around in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteSo many choices, but my all-time favorite is pumpkin pie. Congratulations on being in the book, and it sounds like you're having fun in Oregon!

ReplyDeleteGot to be warm Cherry Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream on top! Would love to be in Portland in your class. Thanks for the contest.
ReplyDeleteI like cheesecake but rarely have it - love ice cream.
ReplyDeleteMy absolutely favorite dessert comes from our local Publix bakery - it's called a "French Fan" - it's made with "two" elephant ears (just pretend - no elephants were actually harmed in the making) - with the most deelish 'buttercream' stuffing in the middle...and then (as if that wasn't enough)...partially dipped in decadent dark CHOCOLATE....it is totally sinful...I should be ashamed...of course I share half with sweet hubby (so I'm only HALF ashamed)...thankfully the bakery doesn't make them on a regular basis...I actually have to 'pre-order' our Fan...and now for a 'true confession' - we ordered one yesterday...picked it up today...will enjoy it on Saturday night...a girl HAS to have something to look forward to, right?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dessert is fried brownies with ice cream! You are such a sweet person to offer this give away! I would LOVE to have this! Thanks for the chance. Sandy G. Sisgray_71@yahoo.com.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dessert is Crushed Pineapple Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing. Thanks for being a great and sharing teacher.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite pudding? Apple Pie, so simple and so delicious. As a child it was a Sunday lunch treat and the gorgeous smell of it baking was what I was woken up by. Now I must away to kitchen - I have to make an Apple Pie! lynn.walker@fsmail.net
ReplyDeleteThe books looks fabulous! We can never have enough books with patterns. :) My favorite desert is anything I don't have to make myself lol. Honestly, my favorite desert is homemade cheesecake pie. I just can't get enough!
ReplyDeletemy fave dessert... home made bread pudding with butter rum sauce... I soak the raisins in rum before baking them into the pudding, too! Use
ReplyDeleteCapt Morgan's spiced rum for my adventurous inner daredevil!
thanks for the giveaway - those are fantastic goodie bags!
That would have to be fresh cherry pie! Looking forward to seeing you in August.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dessert is White Chocolate Bread Pudding. Of course our (my sister & I) homemade toffee is in a tie for this distinction as well.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dessert is homemade toffee. The toffee is just one of the many homemade candies my sister and I make (with the help of daughter-in-laws). The homemade candy is a tradition started by our parents 35 years ago and we are passing it on to the next generation.
ReplyDeleteGive me anything pumpkin or chocolate and I 'm a happy gal!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of my friends who got into your classes in Portland. I was distracted and didn't sign up fast enough. I'll definitely register ASAP next time you're in the Pacific Northwest. The best dessert ever is a homemade fresh strawberry pie, not with that gooey gel stuff from the store but my homemade strawberry pie glaze. A slice of heaven.
ReplyDeleteHomemade fresh strawberry pie, not with that icky gel stuff from the grocery store, but my homemade strawberry sauce/thin glaze poured over the fresh berries. Little slice of heaven. Ice cream is just superfluous.
ReplyDeleteChocolate Chip Cookies! Have fun in Portland!(Angelia in GA)
ReplyDeleteHmm. Warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream? That came first in my mind, so that´s what it is then.
ReplyDeleteI adore butter tarts! a wolk at rogers dot com

ReplyDeleteWhile i have never tried to make it my favorite dessert is Creme Brulee. There is a restaurant outside of Portland going up the Gorge called The Black Rabbit which has food to die for and they had the best Creme Brulee with fresh raspberries. Oh and the microbrew from McMenamins doesn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteApple Crumble with whipped cream and or ice cream. Lemon Tart made with Lisbon lemons is also a wonderful dessert.
ReplyDeleteFavorite dessert has to be cheesecake. Vanilla bean cheesecake. Hope your trip home was safe.
ReplyDeleteI love anything chocolate!
ReplyDeleteWedding cake, I would remarry over and over to get more, but know I will never meet saturation on plain old yellow cake with white wedding cake frosting, and of course a soft, not sugar-hard, flower is a bonus!
ReplyDeleteLemon Crunch Cake with glass of Plantation Iced Tea. Soooo refreshing!
ReplyDeleteBook looks wonderful...
ReplyDeleteBaskins and Robbins Pralines and Cream Ice Cream

ReplyDeleteI love frozen yogurt! Which is a good thing since I have to watch everything I consume! ;)
