Giveaway - a Checkerboard Cake pan set !


*** This Giveaway is CLOSED , winners to be announced tonight (Nov 2 ,2012)***

GIVEAWAY...GIVEAWAY! As you may/may not know, my little blog turned 1 on Oct15th,2012 and what's so great in keeping all the joy to myself?
So to celebrate this happy occasion, I decided I would treat you with a beautiful gift.

I did not have a checkerboard cake pan set to make my own Checkerboard Cake (above pic), so I had to do some geometry and calculation with different sized bowls and pans in my kitchen to get the correct diameters for the concentric cake layers, else your checkerboard pattern will end up with different sized cubes (you get what I mean right?).
Although I'm very happy with the results I got, I feel it would be a tad easier if you had a cake pan set that'll easily help you develop your checkerboard pattern without all that calculation! :-)
So I want to gift you all a beautiful Wilton Checkerboard Cake pan set. The set includes 3 9" cake pans with a divider ring. Here's few pics of how the cake pan set looks and few ideas of what you could create :-) (Image source: Google)
If you have an Oven and can get hold of atleast a cake box mix then bake a cake using this Checkerboard Cake pan set, you are going to SURPRISE your family and guests big time and they'll be begging you to know the technique...Pssst : Don't tell them so fast ok! LOL!! :-)

Rules for entering the giveaway:
1. Leave a comment on the blog stating which cake flavors or color combo you would be doing when you get this Checkerboard Cake pan set.
2. Follow me on Facebook , its easy, just hit 'Like' and never miss another yummy post!

NOTE: This giveaway is open to US residents only! If you have anyone in the US to whom you'd like to gift this cake pan set or can win one for you, come join in the fun! ( A valid US address is a must)

  2. Dear Manju, fantastic giveaway!! You really inspired me with this checkerboard cake that I made one like it for my daughter's birthday this past week. Unfortunately, I am not so careful and I think I over beat my batter so it got very spongy and did not cut well. I shall see if I can email you a photo. I gushed about how pretty your beautiful lemon/orange and rose cake looked to my mother and sister. I even forwarded my mother your post so she can see it for herself.

    I think a chocolate and white cake would be fantastic to try with this cake pan.

    Congratulations on one year for your beautiful blog my friend. Have a great Sunday! ~ Ramona

  11. Hi Manju,

    Congrats on your Blog Anniversay!!! I am here for the second time, I left a comment on your checker board cake. Never knew the technique of making a checkerboard cake without a mold though. Anyways owning a checkboard mold will be awesome. Liked you on fb and I would go with a chocolate - coconut flavor with the checkerboard cake. Do visit www.flavzcorner.com.

  12. Happy Blog Anniversary!!Its a nice giveaway....Love this cake & also the mold.

  13. Hi Manju, love all the tasty treats you get for us in office...:-)..the checkerboard cake was yummy as were the lamingtons...and the mug cake...the list goes on...
    anyways, my idea for a checker board cake would be a classic, black and white, chocolate and vanilla, but with some of your less sweet chocolate icing...yumm..
    I liked you on fb.....am I all set for the giveaway.......

    1. Divya,
      its very easy with this Checkerboard Pan set...just make 2 different colored/flavored cake batter or divide same batter into 2 and color it differently and then pour the batter in opposite colors into the concentric divider rings...its very simple.

  17. Happy Blog Anniversary!!Its a nice giveaway :)
    will follow up the updates on Fb and My idea for a checker board would be tri-colour cake with Red, Black and white colour flavour of white (Vanila) Red (desiccated coconut), Black(chocolate with chips),Royal white Icing Sprinkle with desiccated coconut with a topping of Dark chocolate curls, to serve.

    Crazy Idea Though...;)
