{Sweet Treat Sunday} Martha Stewart Swag & More NYC Fun

 

 
Welcome to our first Sweet Treat Sunday! We received some incredible swag after the Martha Stewart Blogger's Night Out and I wanted to include you all in the fun.  I know there were many of you who were not able to attend the event, so I thought I'd give my Martha Stewart goodies, as well as some of my favorite Martha Stewart products and a special treat from Magnolia Bakery to one lucky winner!  First, check out more of my NYC fun!

 
I read about NY Cake on Amy Atlas' blog Sweet Designs and was so excited that I was going to have the opportunity to check it out.

 
Um, can you say selection!  They had every baking item you could think of, in every size, shape and color, it was truly a baker's dream.

Cupcake liners galore!

 
Petal Dust, Luster Dust and Disco Dust, oh my!

I've never seen so many different colors, flavors, icings and sprinkles in one place.

As many of you know, I love to bake, so this was the store for me.  I had a hard time trying to decide what I wanted to get and probably would of bought a lot more stuff if I had more room in my suitcase. Good thing they have an online store.  My next stop, Magnolia Bakery!

Magnolia Bakery is a small shop on the corner of Bleecker and West 11th Street. I was glad to see that it wasn't too busy, as I've heard that it's not unusual to have a line wrapped around the corner.  As you walk inside, you are welcomed by the smell of delicious baked goods and towers of empty cupcake boxes.

Magnolia is not only famous for their cupcakes, but their delicious layer cakes as well.  Don't these look incredible!

 I had no idea that you got to pick out your own cupcakes, I think I could have stood there forever trying to decide.

These vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting looked amazing.

I finally decided on a vanilla cupcake for Sean and a chocolate cupcake for me, but it wasn't easy.

Sean's cupcake made it home pretty much in one piece.  A little melted, but he still enjoyed it.

Ready for our Sweet Treat Sunday Giveaway! 

 One lucky winner will receive

{Martha Stewart Blogger's Night Out Swag}
  One set of beautiful floral Thank You Cards
One Martha Stewart Craft Punch Set
The latest issue of Martha Stewart Living, Martha Stewart Weddings, Whole Living & Everyday Food

Thanks for letting us have a piece of the dream!

If I met with Martha, I would ask her if she really uses all of her own ideas! I know they are so crazy and time-consuming and she has a team to do all the prep work.

I've always wondered if she really hollows out her pumpkins for a pumpkin soup toureen or really used the a clock she made from a pumpkin. ;)

If I met Martha I'm pretty sure I would think I would ask some really poignant question but it would probably end up being "Whats your favorite tea?" or something equally as stupid!

#4) If I met Martha Stewart, I would ask her questions about her garden and how she keeps everything in her life in order. I'm sure she has a large staff, but she seems to keep her hand in everything. I would also ask her where she draws her inspiration from and how she stay motivated everyday. I think she is AMAZING!

Susan Crabtree said...

What a great giveaway! If I ever had the AMAZING opportunity to meet Martha, I would ask her to consider one of my concepts for a tv show!

keecam said...

I subscribe to your wonderful blog! If i met Martha, I would first have to revive myself somehow after I fainted and then I would ask her if I could spend a day with her learning everything she knows! (haha wishful thinking)

Beth said...

I don't know what I would do if I met Martha. Aside form being flabbergasted, I would probably ramble on and on about how much I love her recipes! She has so many great tips!

milk and cookeez said...

I am a new follower, I came from Dreamers into Doers. I was so envious when i saw your NY Cupcake store pics-like bakery heaven! :)
Thanks for the Giveaway!!!!

milk and cookeez said...

If I met Martha, I would say nothing (I would have to compose myself-as I would probably tear up.) When the drama was over, I would thank her for her inspiration from my Wedding in 96 to my business in 2010, I have followed, read, and studied her and longed to fold fitted sheets the same way she does.:)

Dorangela said...

Hi, if I had the opportunity to meet Martha herself, I would probably make a fool of myself. Once I gained my composure I would ask her some advice on how to turn doing something that you love into a thriving business. By the way thanks for sharing your swag!!

3girlygirls said...

i would tell martha i really admire her and all that she has accomplished and then ask her if she needs a new best friend--ha

What would I do/say if I met Martha? Oh dear...I've been a Martha diehard for as long as I can remember...so I'd probably just pass out! Ha ha! I would be totally star struck. I know...quite pathetic...but to me - she's the one and only craft diva & she's inspired me in all of my crafty adventures! Even my 3 year old knows who "Martha" is - it's like a common word around our house! Ha!

Hmmmmm....If I met Martha, I would thank her for making beautiful DIY seem so easy. She really has made DIY accessible to loads of women (and men), and she has done so in a way that keeps it all so classy and beautiful so it doesn't have the "I threw this together in five minutes" look.

I am a follow on twitter, I am a fan on Fb, and I am a fan of your blog! I ♥ Tweedle Dee Designs! If I met Martha Stewart I would tell her I have been watching her since I was younger and that I love it when she says "It's a Good Thing!". I would ask her to sign a book for me and I would ask her to join me for lunch so we could talk about how she became a household name.
