SprinkleBakes Giveaway & Blackberry Curd

I was so thrilled when my sweet friend, Heather, of the popular SprinkleBakes blog (and now the popular SprinkleBakes book!), asked me if I wanted to have one of her books for a giveaway! Of course, I said "Yes!" 

I already had a copy of my own, and knew it would be a very special treat for one of you. Perfect timing to coincide with the third anniversary of my blog, and hitting the 3,000 mark on facebook:) 

Thanks so much to each one of you for your friendship and kindness!  <3

SprinkleBakes is not your average cookbook.  Its subtitle, "Dessert Recipes to Inspire Your Inner Artist" is definitely a clue to what's in store. It's full of edible art, eye-candy, a wide variety of amazing recipes, and encouragement on developing your own artistic style for creating in the kitchen. It's a must-have!

No Bake Strawberry Milk Cheesecake from Heather's blog, SprinkleBakes.

Sprinkles in the crust?!?  How brilliant is that? :) I love it!

SprinkleBakes is one of the first sites I "discovered" way back when:)  What a precious gem in the treasure trove of blogs it is! The "icing on the cake" is that Heather is genuine, creative and sweet, just like everything  featured on her blog, and now in her book.

{I also can't forget to mention that Heather has two pug pups that show up now and then on her blog.  They're appropriately named Biscuit and Churro, and they're cute and comical.}

 

Yesterday I whipped up some blackberry curd (just berries, a bit of sugar, egg yolks and butter) using a recipe from the  SprinkleBakes book and it is SO good!  I just got over the stomach flu and it was wonderful to have my appetite back.  I hadn't eaten anything but a few crackers for the prior 36 hours, and I think I could have eaten this blackberry curd just like pudding:) Though I did have a spoonful, I'm saving it for some scones I am going to make.

I love the beautiful color of this blackberry curd.  I've made lemon curd a couple of times, but never ventured to any other variety.  I see all sorts of curds coming from my kitchen this year, and I'm anxious to try more of the recipes in this exceptional cookbook!

Did I mention that Heather signed the book for this giveaway? Yep, she did!
