We have an awesome giveaway to kick off the fall baking season! The kind folks at CSN Stores are giving us a $75 gift certificate to give away to you, to buy whatever you fancy from their network of online stores. In case you've never heard of them, they sell everything from ovens to end tables - our favorite CSN shop of course is their kitchen shop. :)

What would we buy with this gift card? Well... we adore this cherry red Le Creuset Casserole, and these whimsical organic cotton tea towels, and this top-of-the-line KitchenAid mixer (and yes, you can use the gift card towards a larger purchase) - but this isn't about us, it's about you, and you can use it however you want!

If you are looking for a durable, even-heating, heavy-gauge aluminum jelly roll pan in a half-sheet size, look no further. This is the one*.

* Trust me, I did the research. Earlier this year Vollrath bought Lincoln, makers of the top-rated jelly roll pan on Cook's Illustrated, and have since discontinued the half-sheet model.

It's our very first giveaway! We are delighted to have a $25 gift card for you, courtesy of Bake it Pretty. Woohoo!

Bake it Pretty has a great selection of lovely decorative elements and tools for creative bakers, cupcake lovers, and sugar artists. I particularly love the India Tree Natural Food Coloring, and these super-cute reusable silicone teacup cupcake molds. A big thank you to the sweeties over at Bake it Pretty for the gift card!

The giveaway is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered!
