Persimmon Tree Tea Giveaway + Honey Nut Endive Savory for Tea Party Tuesday!

Persimmon Tree Tea

for Tea Party Tuesday!


I just LOVE the handle on my new cup!!!

It has been a long time since I have

posted for Tea Party Tuesday, but I am

back this week with a fun little giveaway.

I am so excited to present an amazing

organic tea as well as a lovely fall savory

that is so easy to prepare, looks elegant & tastes divine!

As many of us tea enthusiasts know,
The Persimmon Tree Tea Company

always offers the most favorable,
decadent tasting tea varieties around!
And, they are all 100% organic - how wonderful!!

The tea I chose to sample was a white tea called
Coconut Creme'. The aroma and flavor was quite lovely.
Just PERFECT for fall.

My husband asked what I was baking when I steeped this

amazing tea as the aromatic scent filled our house.

If you leave a comment you will be entered to win

a tea of your own choosing, just visit their site by clicking HERE, and let me know what flavor you would enjoy to try!

The Persimmon Tree Tea Company was nice enough

to send this sample to me for no cost, but I am sponsoring

the giveaway because I just was very impressed with their tea.

I paired this yummy tea with a
Honey Nut Endive Savory that
was just out of this world tasty!!

Savory Honey Nut on Endive

For the easy recipe click HERE!

It is a wonderful mix of pine nuts, bacon,
Gorgonzola cheese, honey, walnuts and raisins.

So YUMMY.

Have a great week.

My Cake School Giveaway Winner

AND THE WINNER IS.....

The comment from..

ROCHELLE

Hello Trisha,

I have loved reading your blog, not only for the great tips, but for the positive energy you bring to each day. You have not let anything stand in your way and you have fought with dignity and grace.

You are a wonderful example of the power of positive thinking.

I have learned so much from you and it has inspired me to start my own business selling cupcakes. It has always been something I have thought about but haven't had the guts to try. A membership to Cake School would help me learn so much that I can bring to my business.

Thanks so much for your generosity!!

Rochelle

Thanks to random.org for making this easy on

me because it would have been so hard!

I want to say thanks for the all the comments, emails and

facebook posts during this giveaway. It really was touching.

I know many bloggers often wonder if they are making

a difference. It is one thing to have a bunch of pageviews, it

is another to connect with others and make a difference, even

if it is small. For me, that is what blogging is about.

Thanks so much and please, if you follow on FB,

introduce yourself! If you have your own blog, or FB

page, let me know so I can support YOU!

If you didn't win, please really consider a

membership to My Cake School on your own.

It is really such an amazing price for the incredible amount

of support, ideas and inspiration you will receive for a whole year!

Thanks!

My Cake School Giveaway

MY FLAVOR OF ACCEPTANCE

This had to be one of the most profound things

anyone has ever said about me.

I do like my flavor of acceptance.

Inspired by one of the MANY tutorials at My Cake School

Living with a brain tumor, has it's ups and downs.
It has taken a long time for me
to find acceptance sweet.

Or to add the sprinkles for that matter.

But after hearing those words recently,

I realized that I do CHOOSE to live my life

each day with a cherry on top.

And after I thought for awhile and especially since it has already been a year since I started this blog, I realized that a big

part of my flavor of acceptance comes from following

my passions which include creating and writing Sweetology.

This, along with the inspiration I have received reading
so many other great blogs has really sweetened my life!

Someone that was very instrumental in helping me realize my

my love for cupcake art was Melissa at My Cake School.

Joining her online school was one of the best things

I did to grow my confidence, skills and spirit.

I would like to give that to someone else.

To enter the giveaway for a My Cake School

1 year Membership just leave a comment below.

For another entry leave a comment to tell me you follow

on Facebook and/or Twitter, each separately.

Winner chosen via random.org and will be
announced on April 1st.

Now, go do something that makes you happy.

Even if the ice cream you have in life is not your
favorite flavor, just remember to always
savor the SWEETNESS.

A big thank you to My Cake School
