We’d appreciate it if you took a moment to check out and vote for our photograph on Corner Bakery Cafe’s Facebook page. If our photograph gets the most votes then we get to select one lucky The Mommy Insider reader to win a Corner Bakery Café Holiday Catering Package. There are some great photographs!

What’s this contest about?

The Mommy Insider Editor, Alicia, was chosen along with 11 other awesome bloggers in the U.S. to be part of Corner Bakery Cafe’s Holiday Corner Catering Challenge. The challenge required that we (the challenged bloggers) arrange food catered to us by Corner Bakery Cafe in a festive way. I went through a few ideas before settling on a Nutcracker theme which my kids LOVED! What they really love is that we have six more Nutcrackers to play with this year than last year. Greedy little kids! Unfortunately, two of the Nutcrackers Sebastian and I picked out were kicked out of the scene due to space issues.

About our party

We had a great party with a couple of families who put a lot of work into my son’s Cub Scout pack, den.. not sure which it’s called. They work hard to keep the Cub Scouts busy and I honestly don’t know how they do it with kids, work, and all. Thanks Kim, Jeff, Holly, and David for joining our Corner Bakery Cafe party and for waiting until I got my 1000th photograph before eating the awesome food!
The food was delightful. Crisp vegetables and delicious dip, sandwiches packed with juicy meat, cheese, & vegetables and deserts filled my dining room table with happiness.. for a little while at least. The food disappeared pretty quickly. The Baby Bundt Cakes were divine.. yum.. and the kids have never enjoyed my chocolate chip cookies (refrigerated dough) nearly as much as Corner Bakery Cafe’s. They could fake it.. or not.

How to vote and what’s in it for you?

At the end of the week, if our photograph has the most votes we will receive a Corner Bakery Cafe Holiday Catering Package to giveaway to one of our readers that is located within a Corner Bakery Cafe community. The package will include an assortment of freshly baked treats like the signature Cinnamon Creme Cake, boxes of the Mini Cookies and Baby Bundt Cakes along with a $50 catering certificate. What are you waiting for? Vote for our photograph now and help us win!

I had a great evening with lots of wonderful bloggers at the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis. There are about 50 bloggers here for the General Mills Eat & Greet event and we will have an early and busy day tomorrow. We’re going to the General Mills campus, will tour the facility, and taste yummy food.. how on earth am I going to handle that? Just kidding.. I’ll be fine, don’t worry!

Here is a photograph I took from the Observation Deck at the Mill City Museum:

I saw a really neat poster in the museum showing what old Bisquick boxes looked like and thought of my 9 year old son Sebastian and how much he loves making pancakes with Bisquick.. I thought I’d post a little comparison photo here of the past versus the present Bisquick look.
