Father's Day Giveaway from CoffeeCakes.com

I am so excited to have another opportunity to share my new love with you!  "CoffeeCakes.com  is a privately held company that markets specialty food and gourmet gift items exclusively on the Internet."  They sell a wide variety of desserts, coffees, and teas, but it is their Coffee Cake that now has my heart.  A few months ago, the friendly people from CoffeeCakes.com sent my family and I a coffee cake sampler to try.  The Coffee Cake Sampler included three full sized coffee cakes of our choice.  

With so many yummy choices, it was definitely a hard decision.  In the end, we chose the No Walnut Cinnamon coffee Cake, the Apple Walnut Coffee Cake, and the Banana Walnut Coffee Cake.  Each of these delicious cakes arrived completely intact.  No crushed or crumbled cake.  Although it says on the box that they can be kept at room temperature for a week, we couldn't wait to try them, so we dug right in that evening after dinner.  I have to say that I have never eaten a coffee cake as moist as these.  From my first bite, I was hooked.  I think my favorite of the three was the Apple Walnut Coffee cake.  The dried apples gave it an extra bit of tang and sweetness.  My youngest daughter couldn't get enough of the Banana Walnut Coffee Cake and she was disappointed when I decided to freeze the rest of it. 

CoffeeCakes.com states that you can freeze the cake for up to 120 days.  I have found that sometimes when you freeze baked goods, they don't always taste as good after you thaw them out.  So I had to freeze some of the cake for a few days to test it out.  It is hard to believe, but I actually think the cakes tasted better after being frozen.  So go ahead and order the sampler, save yourself some money, and freeze the cakes until your ready to eat them!  And with all orders over $50, you receive free shipping.

Now, just in time for Father's Day, the generous people at CoffeeCakes.com are offering one of you wonderful readers a chance to win that special Dad in your life their very own 28 oz Coffee Cake and Travel Mug! 

Mandatory Entry:  Visit CoffeeCakes.com and let me know something that you would like to try besides coffee cake.  Please remember to include your email so I can contact you if you win.
