Oh my gosh… it’s our birthday-eve! Just one more day until KC Bakes’ official 2nd Birthday!
I still have to pinch myself sometimes, that we are approaching two years in business. I never set out to be an entrepreneur… I was just sick of the mess, expense and utter waste of Styrofoam (do you know how bad ‘foam is for the environment?).
So back on November 20th, 2010, while I was home visiting my parents, my dad & I made my first cake pop stands. We only made two of them that weekend… and now we’ve sold over 1,350 stands (in 5 different sizes)? Crazy!
Here I am cutting the boards… with a french manicure and brand new wedding ring (I had just gotten married a few weeks earlier).

DAY TWO GIVEAWAY
Today’s giveaway features three items (from 2 vendors). Open to U.S. Residents only. Deadline to enter: 11pm EST tonight.
1) 2-quart 8×8 Custom Etched Pyrex Glass Baking Dish with Personalized Lid by KG Custom Designs. We’ve all been there: you bring a dish to a get-together and when they are all empty, no one is sure whose is whose. Problem solved! This BRAND NEW, 2 quart, 8×8 Pyrex-brand baking dish will be PERMANENTLY etched with the word or name of your choice. This etching will NOT fade, wash off or affect the integrity of the dish in any way.
2) “Keep Calm and Bake On” Apron and One (1) Tea Towel from Kitch. Apron features an adjustable neck strap & 3 huge pockets at the bottom, big enough to hold whatever you need! Tea Towel is a 100% Cotton, washable flour sack dish towel and is super absorbent – making it not only the cutest towel in your KITCH-en – but the most useful as well!
And the winner is…

Cleopatra said:
I liked all pages. And the desserts I bake most frequently are cupcakes, and cake pops.
I added KG custom design as a favorite on Etsy. On my baking dish it would say “Made with love by Betty Black Baking” ( if all of that can fit! LOL)
Also added Kitch Etsy Shop to my favorites. I think the next towel should have a design of a lady holding a dessert in hand, saying “I run this Kitchen!”
