The winner of the red rick rack basket pincushion is June Calender! Her blog is Calender Pages. She lives on Cape Cod. I can't resist showing you some photos of the Cape.


National Seashore. 


Whales sometimes come right up to the boats.


Harvesting cranberries. They flood the bog and the berries float.


Provincetown, MA is at the very end of the Cape.

My favorite dessert is apple crisp. I love to eat it steaming hot on those cold winter nights. I make it low fat and with whole grains, so it's a nice dessert without too much guilt.

Tiramisu is my favourite, closely followed by Chocolate Roulade. Oh - now I want to go bake....!!!

Debbie said...

Those pinsies are so elegant, Karen! I'm not much of a dessert person. I like to go off after the meal and break off a nice piece of 60% or 72% plain Dark Chocolate.

I have been to Cape Cod. It is a beautiful place! We spent a day at Martha's Vineyard. My favourite dessert is Apple Bavarian Torte. My husband sometimes makes this for me for my birthday.

It's hard to pick a favorite dessert, but I'll say anything with chocolate.
Today's pincushion is very cute
(I bet the Cape is cold today!).
Thanks.

Blue Bell ice cream - pralines and cream is my favorite flavor but any ice cream is O.K. with me!

Flan. I love a good flan, especially if there is carmelized sugar crystals on the bottom. Yum.
Many restaurants try to tell you that their creme carmel is just a flan of sorts, but it is just a pudding with toasted/sugared top. Flan is flan and creme carmel is not. :-)

I love the chip-chip-chip pinsie. :-)

Mmmm, dessert...!!

My most-favorite, and one I only get once in a blue moon is

Pecan Pie with a cup of hot coffee. The two tastes compliment each other because they are sooo different.

Yum!!

Thanks for the opportunity to win a new pincushion!

My favorite dessert is coconut cream pie. I don't make it unless I have company so I won't eat the whole thing!

My favorite dessert is cheesecake plain - no fruit. I have a recipe from my x-husband's aunt, easy to make, and so yummy!

Love this pincushion especially since it is one of my favorite colors - gray.

Ah, April Fools Day.
My favourite dessert? Custard tarts from the Portuguese bakery.

LOVE this pincushion! It's sweet and elegant at the same time! :o)

And my favorite dessert is my Cranberry Pecan Blondies. I've been known to just stand in the kitchen and whittle off piece after piece, cuz I just can't stop! lol

Beautiful pin cushion - yum! Okay, this is going to be embarrassing, but my favorite dessert is regular birthday type cake with REAL buttercream icing and lots of it!

Vernon said...

I love anything chocolate, but if I had to narrow it down, I would say a flourless chocolate tort.

Lynn said...

It has to be cheesecake....or maybe creme brulee or maybe cherry pie....hummm maybe homemade ice cream. As you can probably tell I am a dessert lover to the max!

Char said...

Carrot cake from a local supermarket's bakery, it's delish!

Thanks for posting photos of the beautiful coast on your side of the U. S. it does look a bit different from the Pacific Coast.
