Vanilla Bean Paste Giveaway

**This giveaway is now CLOSED **
I kinda have a "thing" for Vanilla!  I just LOVE it! I love the word "vanilla" and I love the smell and I definitely love the flavor!!  If I see a new gourmet vanilla at the store - I can't resist - I have to buy it.  If you ever need a gift idea for me, just buy me a bottle of some gourmet vanilla and I will love you forever!  My vanilla obsession is as bad as my cookbook obsession! I won't even tell you how many different vanillas I have in my baking cupboard! We will save that for another post.  So, I decided that I am going to have a Vanilla Giveaway Extravaganza.  Every time I get 200 followers (up until I hit 1000) I am going to give away some type of vanilla!!  So, 600 Followers, 800 Followers and 1000 Followers! That is three giveaways!!  I know this might take a long time, but I won't forget to do the giveaways!

I first discovered Vanilla Bean Paste on my trip to Seattle in 2009.  I went up there to see my favorite band perform and of course to do a little shopping! I went to Pike Place Market and found this fun store called Sur La Table.  It was there where I first discovered Vanilla Bean Paste! I bought myself two bottles and I instantly LOVED it!  It gives your treats the BEST vanilla flavor and of course it adds those fun little black speckles that vanilla beans add.  I know if you try this stuff, you will love it too.  So, I am giving away one, bran-new, sealed, bottle of Vanilla Bean Paste!

To enter the giveaway (3 Possible Entries)
Mandatory Entry: You must be a Follower (via GFC) of Eat Cake For Dinner! If you are already a follower, just leave me a comment and let me know!
Second Entry:  Leave me a separate comment with your favorite way to use vanilla beans or vanilla extract! Is it in frosting, pudding, ice cream, flavored syrup or whipped cream, etc . . .? 
Third Entry:  Leave me a separate comment with the name of your favorite brand of vanilla extract! Or, your favorite type.  Is it Mexican, Tahitian or Madagascar, etc . . .  Or, if you don't have a favorite brand or type - just say "I use whatever"


Giveaway is only open to U.S. Residents - sorry and will close at Midnight on December 2, 2011 (next Friday) or until I hit 600 Followers (Whichever comes later)!  I will announce the winner on Dec. 3rd! Good Luck! 


*Note -  I am providing the product for this giveaway.  it is NOT sponsered by anyone, but myself!

    I'm definitely a fan of high quality vanilla (of course!) but the most distinctive vanilla experience I've ever had was using vanilla oil, which is amazingly strong and produces a vanilla flavor unlike anything you've tasted. If you'd normally use a teaspoon of vanilla in a recipe, you'd use maybe a quarter teaspoon of vanilla oil and still you'd taste way, WAY more vanilla that you've ever tasted in a recipe. So good!

    My favorite use for vanilla is a hot malted milk. The recipe is on my blog. I use vanilla in so many things and I only use real vanilla extract because the artificial stuff tastes fake. I am anxious to try the paste. I will have to look for it.

    I, too, love vanilla. It's a beautiful sounding word, isn't it? I am definitely not a gourmet cook, but enjoy cooking, especially sweets. I love Eat Cake for Dinner! It's always a pleasure to see what is offered for us to drool over. I haven't tried any exotic vanillas. I usually use "Watkins" brand, because it is a "real" vanilla product I can obtain locally. I would love to win the paste! And now that I've answered all the requirements in one post, I'll confess to speed reading and not getting my directions straight. lol

    I love to use vanilla all the time (I may be an addict!), but my absolute favorite is to put it in my cookie dough. It gives it that extra something!

    My all time favorite vanilla is Mexican vanilla. I actually special order it from Ebay. It's the best ever!

    I'll be honest, I've never tried any "gourmet" vanilla's, usually just buy McCormicks or Watkins. I'd love to give this a try though!!

    Entry #2 - my favorite way to use vanilla bean paste is in my recipes for "To Die For Banana Cake with Vanilla Bean Frosting".

    Entry #3 - Nielson-Massey is my preferred brand, but I honestly don't think there's a brand of VBP that I wouldn't like.

    Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter. Congrats on passing the 600 mark!

    I have two favourite uses for vanilla essence. One is to put a bit in cream before whipping it, along with a bit of icing sugar. The other is in my chocolate brownie.

    My favourite vanilla essence is the bottle homemade stuff that I made earlier this year.

    My favorite brand of Vanilla to use is from the Hawaiian Vanilla Company, it has a really good flavor and is great in anything I bake!!
