The Prize
Up for grabs is a single prize pack which consists of the following: 1 Nespresso U Milk coffee machine ($299), 1 Glass Collection Cup Set ($50) and 5 sleeves of Cioccorosso ($42).
How to Enter the Giveaway
I admit, I’ve never been good at entering those “in 25 words or less” competitions (here it is in writing at number 8) because I am a woman of many words, but I thought I might learn a thing or two from you and it might be fun to judge one. So, make yourself a cup of coffee, check out these tips on creating entries that get noticed and let your creative juices flow.
To enter, leave a comment on this post telling me In 25 Words or Less: What’s YOUR favourite baked treat to have with coffee and why?
WINNER
Wow, thank you so much to everyone for entering! There were so many fantastic entries eventhough some of these exceeded the 25 word word limit, they are worth mentioning. I loved Che’s dates with dad, Sherry Pfeiffer’s busy mum quiet moment, Mountain Girl’s Parisian inspired treat, stefanialaura’s pinch of love with the coffee, Miss Piggy’s non-baked savoury treat, Maureen’s Thanksgiving pecan pie, Gaby’s paleo cake – sounds great. Tania’s chocolate covered half-bed George Clooney made me giggle while Tanya B almost had me there with her custard tarts…
However, the winning entry for me was… Amelia’s! Her handmade raspberry melting moments struck a chord with me because they are a twist on tradition – containing my favourite berries! Also, I think for those who are not big fans of rich chocolate flavours, these would go really well with coffee! Congratulations!
