I have the BEST EVER Giveaway for you guys today.
It is sponsored by Independent Watkins Consultant - Melissa #403264. She is offering one of Eat Cake For Dinner's readers an 11 oz. bottle of Watkins Double Strength Vanilla. That is a BIG bottle of vanilla and you will use every last drop of it.
Watkins Vanilla is the BEST vanilla I have ever used in my entire life and I have tried A LOT of vanilla. Check out my vanilla stash. There really is a difference in good vanilla.
I promise, it is worth every single dollar spent. Ounce for ounce this stuff is a great deal.
I know what you are thinking . . . WOW, this girl is really passionate about her Vanilla. The truth is, I really am. I tried for years to figure out how to make the perfect frosting.
Now, I get asked all of the time, why does your frosting taste so good? Mine never tastes like that.
Well, my friends, I am letting you all in on my SECRET INGREDIENT . . . WATKINS Double Strength Vanilla.
This vanilla is made with Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans and is low in alcohol, so it is all Vanilla flavor. It makes the best frosting, homemade whipped cream, ice cream, divinity, cookies and everything else you can think of. The first time I tried homemade whipped cream with Watkins Vanilla, it was game over. BEST THING EVER.
It also makes the best present for Birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Wedding, House-Warming and so on.
Even my Grandma used to use Watkins Vanilla. Check out this vintage bottle I found in her fruit room. A glass bottle with a cork top - I love it. It still smells like yummy vanilla too.

I do not necessarily have a favorite recipe that uses vanilla. However, I generally add vanilla to any baking recipe that I make. I just love that extra little taste it provides!

I use Vanilla a lot, in muffins, breads, frostings, and I have always had a bad reputation as a cook. Since being a stay at home mom I have to say I"m now pretty good, I can still mess stuff up but I'm really coming around. I would love to wow some of the family!

For those of you that doesn't get any snow, if you don't know what snow cream is....basically it is snow ice cream. The vanilla flavor really comes through in the snow cream.
