GIVEAWAY: Win an Easy-Bake Oven!

This is so exciting...my very first GIVEAWAY!!!

"Since 1963, Hasbro's EASY-BAKE Oven has been cooking up culinary inspiration in hearts and homes across America. The beloved EASY-BAKE Oven & Snack Center is back in its original aqua color! The classic side-loading oven that bakes with a light bulb returns to let bakers-in-the-making whip up tasty snacks for friends and family, including cakes, brownies, cookies, and much more."

Do you have a young culinary whiz in the making? Does your child enjoy helping in the kitchen? Do you have fond memories of owning your own Easy-Bake Oven? If you answered, yes to one (or all) of these questions, then this giveaway is for you!

In honor of Easy-Bake Oven's 2009 "Baker of the Year" contest, I have an Easy-Bake Oven for you to win just in time for the May 7th bake-off. Over the last year, Hasbro has been looking for the best of the best when it comes to culinary creations made with the Easy-Bake Oven. On May 7th, seven talented bakers (ranging in age from 8 to 12) will compete at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida for the coveted "2009 Baker of the Year" title. Each young baker created their own original recipes using Easy-Bake mixes and the Easy-Bake Oven!

The seven finalists and their creations are as follows:

• Strawberry PB and J Cake made by Drew (age 9) from West Virginia
• EASY Pineapple Upside Down Cake made by Elizabeth (age 12) from West Virginia - this is Drew's sister!
• S'mores Snacks/Chocolaty Peanut Butter made by MaCall (age 10) from Washington
• Queen of Hearts Strawberry Tart made by Catherine (age 12) from Ohio
• Chocolate Peanutbutter Blitz made by Morgan (age 8) from Connecticut
• Pumpkin Surprise made by Taylor (age 11) from New Jersey
• Chocolate Raspberry Cake made by Hannah (age 11) from Pennsylvania
