Bake with Style: It’s the #BakeOver Twitter Party!

December 6, 2013 By Lena

Folks: You will NOT want to miss this one.

Need a KitchenAid 9-Speed Hand Mixer? Cause, oh, we’re only giving away FIVE. Not good enough for you? Okay. How about this: we’re also giving away FIVE KitchenAid Classic Series Tilt-Head Stand Mixers!

Join us for the @TenderflakePie #BakeOver Twitter Party. Now you may not know it, but I happen to be very well versed in sweet, doughy goods. In fact, I hold a certificate from George Brown College in Bakery Arts. It’s true! After I received my BComm from university, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to be in business or in baking. So I strapped on an apron and enrolled myself in the college program.

There, I learned how to flute, pipe, knead and fold… yes, I’m a master at making dessert! Unfortunately, my skills were lost when I married a man who lacks a sweet tooth. It’s tragic, I tell you!

However, I appreciate that everyone has their own unique baking style, and I’m proud to be part of the #BakeOver Twitter Party, which celebrates our holiday baking traditions! And when you have Tenderflake, you can be ‘Tastefully Traditional’ or a ‘Laid Back Baking Lover’.

Of course, I saved the best news for last – the GRAND PRIZE winner will receive both a KitchenAid 9-Speed Hand Mixer AND a KitchenAid Classic Series Tilt-Head Stand Mixer! It’s the perfect opportunity to pay it forward and gift one of your winnings to a family member or friend.

RSVP below to join all the fun!…

Show Your Love With Pie! Easiest V-Day Dessert Ever

February 7, 2012 By Lena

How much do I love thee? Let me showeth with pie.

For I shalt promise thou three things:

1) When the moon hits your eye like a 6-inch Tenderflake pie, that’s amore!
2) The easier the better; and this is fool-proof. I promise.
3) EVERYONE can make it. Yes, everyone.

Here’s the scoop. The good folks at Tenderflake suggested their Easy Pie! pie kits as the perfect solution for a quick, easy and delicious Valentine’s Day dessert. I love the idea of a pie made just for two – SO romantic! – and since everything you need is included in the kit (minus the fruit), literally anyone can whip up a scrumptious treat for their loved one in minutes. Now I don’t want to speak for others, but I’d take a homemade pie over roses any day… #justsayin’

To demonstrate just how easy it is to seduce your sweetheart the good ol’ fashioned way – with food, that is – I decided to bring a little V-Day celebration forward a week (for research and review purposes only, of course. It had nothing to do with the whole dessert-eating thing). Now pay attention because it goes by quickly; in fact, I only needed about 5 minutes in total to prep the dish. Since the Easy Pie! pie kit contains both a spice and crumble mixture, practically all the work is done for you. Remember: I promised you an easy, fool-proof dessert. …
