National Bundt Cake Day and a Giveaway


Tomorrow is National Bundt Cake day and I will find out which other finalist beat me! Really it's ok that I didn't win, really I'm fine with it. :) So in honor of National Bundt Cake day I am giving away a wonderful bundt cake pan! Sorry no recipe today as I might use the one I tested to enter next year! So all you have to do is post a comment by 5pm on Monday the 17th and I will pick a winner, randomly of course.

This is the Bavaria Bundt cake Pan. Don't worry this one is mine. Yours will come to you brand new!

Disclaimer - This is open to the US only, sorry in advance.

Oh wow, what a pretty pan!

I tried your bundt recipe a few weeks ago, and it was a major hit at the halloween party! I don't think I even got a slice. Guess I'll have to try again...

First of all, your bundt cake looks great. I don't have that bundt cake pan, so count me in on give away.

I love bundt cakes. What a gorgeous pan, I haven't seen one like that before.

Elizabeth said...

Love me a bundt! That pan is just gorgeous! Everytime I make a bundt I think of that "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" movie when Ian's Mom brings a bundt to the party and the Greek Mama has no idea what it is. Then she puts a small flower pot in it! anywho...LOVE your recipes! I've been using them every week since I found you!

Keri said...

That is by far the coolest bundt pan I've ever seen. Your cake looks delicious!

Katie, this is a beautiful pan. I don't have this one but I do have the Rose one. I love it. Bundt cakes can be a beautiful showpiece dessert for any special occasion. There are so many recipes and cookbooks dedicated to the baking of bundt cakes. I think yours looks gorgeous with all the little ridges.

Deblynne said...

Happy National Bundt Cake Day!
My housemates and I are suckers for a good bundt cake, but, sadly, our pan didn't make it from our last move. That one is absolutely beautiful!

kayceebeebee said...

I love bundt cakes! They are always so moist. That pan makes the cake look so beautiful!

Stephanie said...

Mm, i do love bundt cakes! I only have a silicone bundt pan, and i have neer had 100% success when making bundt cakes in it... some pieces refuse to come out! the one time i've made one in a hard metal one (the pan was a gift for my sister, and the pan came with a bundt cake from me! :), it came out fine. maybe i need a hard metal one!

*Kimmie* said...

What a beautiful bundt pan! And what an even more beautiful bundt cake, it came out perfect! Congrats!

Fuji Mama said...

That's a very beautiful bundt pan!!! I don't own a bundt pan yet, I just have a silicone for miniature bundt cakes.

Martin said...

I have never made a bundt cake on my own... probably because I don't own a bundt pan, and I've got bills to pay! =)

Gina said...

That is such a beautiful pan! I don't think I have ever seen one like that before. It has been forever since I made a bundt cake, but I suppose that National Bundt Cake Day is a great excuse...

fermata said...

Wow -- that pan makes some lovely cakes!

Amy said...

What a special pan-really lovely.

Amber said...

I saw this pan the other day and didn't get it thinking I would just go back. I can't remember where now, augh. Anyways, bundts are fun because they are just a little bit friendlier and not as formal. This pan is lovely.

Christine said...

I've never actually baked in a bundt pan. Yours is pretty!

Peg said...

A gorgeous pan! Bundt cakes are always great, and wonderful crowd (read work) pleasers.

Pam said...

Beautiful cake! I've never tried a bavarian bundt, but it's lovely. I make lots of bundt cakes, but I didn't know there was a national holiday for them. That's awesome!

Andrew's Mom said...

I love making Bundt cakes too - and this pan looks great!

Teresa in Tennessee said...

That pan makes a beautiful cake! I accidently ran over my bundt pan when my son left it in the driveway. Don't ask!

Rachael said...

Bundt Cakes are making a comeback... Who wants a cupcake when you could have a Bundt?

T. Martin said...

Thanks for highlighting bundt cakes. I feel they allow the baking-phobic to enjoy baking as much as the rest of us without the stress of decorating as the pan's shape is all the decoration that's needed.

Charisse said...

I am so excited about National Bundt Day. It sent me downstairs to the kitchen to pull my bundt pan out of the back of the kitchen cabinet.

What I am more excited about is finding your blog. I got here by way of Tastespotting. I have been Food Blog surfing for HOURS NOW. I have t admit I read backwards through your blogs all the way to December 2007. And I think I am hooked. And I want to go make peppermint bark. I haven't had that in forever and it sounds so good!!!

T Bair said...

What a lovely cake. Does the pan include a recipe too?

Mellisa - Chinook Jewelry said...

Love the gorgeous cake from that pan!

Emily said...

I can't believe I almost missed it!

aleta meadowlark said...

I totally made a bundt cake for my roommate's grandmother that was gluten-free (she has Celiac's disease). In addition to having the consistency of a raw potato, my pan was ruined. =( It's been two whole years now and I've yet to replace it, this would be perfect!

The Behlmers said...

My fingers are crossed! I am thinking of the Bundt cake scene in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, too. Such a classic scene!

Alyssa said...

I didn't know it was National Bundt Cake Day! I would've made Ina's delicious Lemon Bundt Cake-my fav! I might make it anyways...

liz said...

Your cake is so pretty, and that pan is as well! I'd love the chance to win it.

The Alchemist said...

WOW! That's a nice looking bundt cake. And a gorgeous pan, I just love bundt cake!

Amanda said...

My five flavor pound cake would look beautiful in the pan.

Chris said...

Bundt cakes are wonderful! And no decoration necessary, either--just a dusting of powdered sugar. Yummy!

Gary said...

A little circle of heaven.

CookiePie said...

Congrats on being a finalist! Your recipe sounds perfectly delicious to me :)
