I watched the show and thought you were terrific. I’m no stranger to cooking contests, so I know how hard it is to make it to the finals. You did a great job. I hope you are having a good day. Blessings…Mary.

As soon as URL was over my daughter was in the kitchen making your Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownies. We did have to rewind to get the amounts, but they turned out great. Thank you

Thanks SO much for all of your support everyone – I’m feeling the love It’s been so fun this week reading all your comments and responding to all your emails!

Kelly – Well, I haven’t been to a ton of contests, so I’m not sure I’m qualified to give advice I don’t go about coming up with recipes for contests any differently than I do for the blog! But, I would say know about current food trends, think about texture/color and the ease of preparing the recipe, and come up with a mouth watering name.

Amy – I hope to bake with my (future!) kids too I’m glad you enjoyed them!

Melanie – So cool to hear from you! It’s funny because I’ve actually just gotten into swimming again. I hope you stay in touch

Michelle – I’m so glad you guys like the dessert sushi, as you probably know, it’s one of my absolute favorites!

Hey Kerstin! I was so happy to see you got the opportunity to be on Ultimate Recipe Showdown. I watch that show a lot and I’ve always wanted to be on it. I have the cakes episode set up to remind me when it’s on. Too bad you didn’t win, but I’m super excited to see what you made!

PS: I’m glad you liked my blog. I hope you stop by again soon.

Hi Kerstin – I just watched the show, and you did GREAT! I never would have guessed that you were nervous. You looked as cool as a cucumber. Your recipes looked delicious! I love anything to do with chocolate and peanut butter for sure

I was very happy to see a woman Scientist on a Food Network Show. Young girls need more role models like you. And on a personal note – as a cancer Survivor, I’d like to thank you for your hard work on cancer research.

Brightest blessings,
Melanie

While flipping through channels while I was on the treadmill and finally settling on the food network, suddenly, flashing on the screen was the familiar “cake, batter, and bowl” website. I jump off the treadmill, grab the phone, call my boyfriend, and as if my house was on fire, I tell him:
“baby!!! baby baby baby! you know how I make you the dessert sushi we love?!!! the girl, the girl whose website I got the recipe from is actually on the food network right now competing! can you believe it?! this is so cool! I hope she wins!”

Even though you didn’t win, your desserts are winners to my boyfriend and I. On our first anniversary, I made him dessert sushi as part of the spread I surprised him with. (a compromise since he loves sushi, but I don’t like seafood, and we BOTH love dessert!) It is a staple to our relationship, and the smell and taste of the chocolate dough and coconut and cream cheese and lime brings me back to such a fulfilling, loving place.

Thank you for bringing your dessert into our life, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. <3

Wow! You never know who you’re going to see on TV! I was having a lazy Sunday watching the Food Network when I started shouting for my husband and saying, “I know her! The one with the plantain cupcakes! I used to swim with her in high school!” You look wonderful and happy. So glad to see that you’re doing well. The blog looks so yummy also. I’ll have to start trying some of your recipes. I’ll let you know how they turn out!

How awesome that you competed on the show! And you are a brave woman to be using plantains under those kind of time constraints. Whew! I’m a bundle of nerves just thinking about what you went through.

My 10 year old daughter and I always watch URS together. We love baking and, before the show started, made a promise that we would make the winning recipe.

As good as the Apple Crisp bread pudding looked, we fell in love with your brownie recipe at first sight. So.. we broke our promise and just finished making your recipe. It was fun. The only change we made was using milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for the ganache (my daughter doesn’t like dark chocolate very much).

They are delicious. Thanks for the recipe and I look forward to reading more on your blog.
