FantasiCakes - Bundt Cakes, Coffee Cakes and Tarts Review and #Giveaway 8/14 CLOSED

I came across the most amazing website with cakes.  I have a major sweet tooth, so I was in heaven.  Fantasicakes offers a really nice selection of Bundt Cakes, Coffee Cakes and Tarts.  The best part about Fantasicakes is that you can get their delicious items delivered right to your door!  Some of the delicious items they offer include - Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake, Red Velvet Bundt Cake, Lemon Bundt Cake, Pecan Coffee Cake, Marble Coffee Cake, Chocolate Mocha Coffee Cake, Blueberry Tart, Apricot Tart and more!  What sounds good to you?

I received a Red Velvet Bundt Cake from FantasiCakes!  It was delivered by UPS and showed up in perfect condition.  It was packed really well to assure that it came that way.  I opened the box and my son insisted that we sample it right away.  I honestly wasn't going to argue and didn't need any convincing because it looked so good!  The Red Velvet Bundt Cake comes with a container of cream cheese icing that you can put on the top of the cake too!  I like that you have control of putting that on.  I sliced some cake up and it was so good!  It has a really good flavor.  This is some of the best red velvet cake I have ever had.  The cake itself is very moist.  The cake was not too sweet and I love the icing.  The icing wasn't too sweet either.  My son inhaled his slice in seconds.  I also gave my husband a slice yesterday.  I want to start out by saying that my husband rarely eats sweets.  He is one of the pickiest eaters that I know.  He loved the cake.  He even said it had such a good flavor.  He said he liked that it didn't have an artificial flavor.  He loved this cake so much that he ate 2 slices in a day.   Have you ever had red velvet cake?  Red Velvet cake is actually a chocolate flavored cake, but it's very mild tasting.

Do you want to buy your own?  The bundt cakes from FantasiCakes come in a few sizes.  The small Red Velvet Bundt Cake retails for $18.95 and the large size is $27.95.  This would also make an amazing gift delivered directly to a loved ones door!  You can save 25% off of your order by using the code giveaway2012 at the checkout!

Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds Review and #Giveaway! #MyBlogSpark 8/5 CLOSED

I am always looking for ways to add fiber to my diet and my family's diet.  We always seem to be busy and it can be hard to eat right when you are constantly running somewhere.  I find that cereal is a quick way to have a great breakfast when you are in a hurry.  

I received a Fiber One Gift Pack and was excited to try out their Nutty Clusters & Almonds cereal.  I sampled the cereal and thought it was really good.  It has a really crunchy texture and it has a great flavor.  I enjoyed the crunchy clusters and the almonds were delicious.  It is a lightly sweetened cereal.  I plan on eating this in the mornings as a quick meal before we leave the house.  I found it to be very filling and I need that when I'm on the go all day long.

Butterfly Bakery - Gluten Free Review

Do you love being able to eat treats that taste great, but don't have all the guilt?  I do.  I love products that are healthier for you, but they also have to taste great.  I found out about The Butterfly Bakery and was excited to see that they offer a variety of snacks that are unique.  They offer products in each of the following categories - gluten free, sugar free, whole grain, no sugar added and light.  I like the idea of this!  

I was sent some samples of their gluten free products.  I have tried a number of gluten free products and I really feel it is hard to make a really good tasting gluten free baked good.  The Butterfly Bakery has done it though!  I actually brought some of the cookies to a playdate and everyone thought that they were great.  The gluten free chocolate cookies had a great texture.  That is very important to me when it comes to gluten free.  I wouldn't have even known they were gluten free unless someone had told me.   The Butterfly Bakery's gluten free chocolate cookies are really good.  They are a great treat for anyone or for people that can't have gluten.  They can be purchased directly from The Butterfly Bakery's website for $5.99 for a 13 

pack.

I also received a package of The Butterfly Bakery's gluten free banana nut muffins.  These were really flavorful.  The texture was good too.  They were fluffy and I really couldn't even tell that they were a gluten free product.  These are a really good snack, breakfast or treat.  The muffins are also available in other flavors too.  They come in lemon poppy, wild blueberry and spiced apple raisin.  They are all available on the Butterfly Bakery's website.  They all sound really good too.  What flavor would you want to try.  I think the lemon poppy also sounds really good.

The Butterfly Bakery is a great place to find specialty treats to meet your dietary needs.  You can order their baked goods online or you can use their product locator to find out where to purchase them near you.  You can also connect with The Butterfly Bakery on Facebook and Twitter.

Mikarose Designs Riley Dress Review and $50 G/C Giveaway 8/12 CLOSED

Mikarose offers beautifully designed clothing for women that are looking for modest apparel.  However, the fashions from Mikarose are super stylish.  Many of their dresses have a classic or retro flair to them.  They also offer more modern dresses too.  I had fun browsing through the selection of dresses that they have to offer.  They have a variety of dress choices that are casual, but they also offer more dressy options too.  Many of the casual dresses can be dressed up too by adding some great accessories.  

I received a really fun, but modest dress from Mikarose.  I received the Riley in white.  This dress also comes in a moss color that is really pretty too.  It is very cute!  I love the details on the bust of this dress.  The ruffles on the neck of it make it really fun.  The dress is very comfortable.  I love that the dress is lined very well too.  The dress is white, but because of the lining it provides you with complete coverage.  I plan on wearing this dress for casual with a cute pair of flats or sandals.  I can also wear it for dressier outings and pair it with a cute pair of heels.  I also put on a cute animal print belt to see how it would look and I love it.  The best part about this dress is that I can look cute and stylish, but still be modest.  There are so many fun ways to wear this dress!  The Riley dress and all the other Mikarose dresses can be purchased from their website.  This dress comes in sizes XS up to 2XL and retails for $59.99.

Mikarose offers so many great modest dresses and I want to share more of them with you!  They also have a variety of accessories, skirts, tops and more.  They even have a great clearance section that has some great items at discounted prices.  What is your favorite?

Skinny Pop Popcorn Review

I'm sure many of you have heard me say that I love to snack.  I am always on the lookout though for snacks that are healthy options.  I found out about Skinny Pop Popcorn and was really interested in trying it.  I'm sure many of you have maybe seen it in the stores recently and wondered how it was.  Well I'm going to tell you!

I received some sample bags of Skinny Pop Popcorn to try.  My son is a popcorn lover, so of course he insisted that we open it immediately.  I love that he enjoys popcorn because it's a whole grain, but sometimes popcorn can be loaded with lots of salt and fat.  Skinny Pop is a bit different than your "typical" popcorn.  It's not movie theater popcorn though.  It definitely tastes good, but they call it guilt free!  Skinny Pop is cholesterol free and has no trans fats.  It's only 39 calories per cup.  It's pretty low in sodium and it only contains 90 mg per serving.   I am the kind of person that always looks at ingredients, so that's what I did.  I was shocked when the ingredient list on this popcorn consisted of  popcorn, sunflower oil and salt.  That's pretty simple, but the popcorn itself tastes really good.  My 7 year old popcorn lover gave it a thumbs up too.  

Skinny Pop Popcorn is a snack that I feel good about giving to my family.  I love that it contains nothing artificial.  It is nut free, dairy free, gluten free, preservative free and a good source of fiber.  It is also made in the USA.  You can use the Skinny Pop product locator to find out where you can get Skinny Pop Popcorn near you.  You can also connect with Skinny Pop Popcorn on their website and Facebook.
