About Bake Me a Wish:

Remember the excitement you felt as a child when your birthday cake was carried into the room? At Bake Me a Wish!, we believe we all still have some of that child inside of us, and our goal is to help you recreate that excitement and experience for your friends, clients or loved ones.

Bake Me a Wish! is the premium nationwide service for delivery of gourmet birthday cakes. Our cakes are made with only the finest, freshest ingredients by an award-winning family run New York bakery that also supplies pastries to some of Manhattan's most elite restaurants.



Bake Me a Wish sent me the Chocolate Mousse Torte Cake to try out. It has two chocolate layers with chocolate whipped cream mousse in between. That's covered with milk chocolate frosting and a dark chocolate glaze and garnished with fudge rosettes and dark chocolate shaves.

It arrived to my house beautifully packaged, just like a gift. It felt like my birthday! They even included an Easter card, which I thought was the perfect touch. The people at Bake Me a Wish sure do know how to make someone feel special!

We were supposed to have friends over for dinner the night it arrived and I was telling N all about the delicious looking cake that came. since she's a chocoholic, I promised her that would be dessert! Well her fiance ended up not feeling well, so we had to make the get together for the next day. Do you realize how hard it was to leave that cake alone in the fridge? It looked so lonely sitting there all by itself. I just wanted to tear into it! it was hard to keep the kids away too, especially Lil Man!

Luckily they came over the next day for dinner and we were finally able to indulge in all that chocolaty goodness! Now I am horrible at cutting cakes, so my pieces didn't look quite as nice as this, but I'm sure that didn't affect the taste whatsoever. I sat down with my big glass of milk and plate full of cake and dug in. It was delicious! Every bite was nothing but chocolaty goodness, YUM!

Buy It!

You can buy the Chocolate Mousse Torte Cake for $39.95 and choose your occasion to include a card and plaque. 5% of your order will be used to assist their effort in sending gourmet occasion cakes to soldier's overseas. How sweet is that {pun intended}?

Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant Review & Giveaway

I have driven by Chili's so many times, I cannot even count. Somehow, I have never had the chance to eat there. That's partly due to the fact that we don't eat at "sit down" restaurants very often. It's much easier to go through the drive thru with the kids.

Well this past Saturday The man and I decided we needed a little "us" time before he went out to his friend's bachelor party. We dropped the kids off at his dad's for the night and headed out to Chili's for a relaxing dinner out.

The parking lot was jam packed when we got there and we almost said screw it and left. However we decided to go inside and see what the wait would be. The hostess told us roughly 20 minutes and we figured we'd wait because the food smelled so good. Our buzzer lit up in like 5 minutes, so we were pretty happy! I guess it pays to go out with just 2 in a group!

There were so many delicious sounding meals on the menu, it was really hard to decide what I wanted. I opted for the Steakhouse Sandwich and he chose the Southern Smokehouse Burger. Our meals arrived and I realized I had ordered the wrong thing! I thought the Steakhouse Sandwich was an actual sandwich, on a bun. I guess I should have read further and I would have realized it was a flatbread sandwich. I am really not a big fan of Flatbread, so my sandwich wasn't as good as I would have liked it to be. Their fries are absolutely delicious though! And their margaritas, YUM!

The Man took the top bun off his burger to put ketchup on and the burger was covered in huge pieces of super thick bacon, yum! There was so much he broke one piece in half and made me try it. It was delicious! He thought the burger was great, and huge too! He couldn't even eat the whole thing! It's definitely a very good value for the price and amount of food he got.

I think next time we go, I will try the Mushroom-Swiss Burger. That looked pretty good.

Chili's offers $9.99 Fresh Pairings where you can choose your appetizer and entree. The selection is pretty good and there's a variety to cater to almost any taste buds. You can also place your order to go online! That is definitely convenient.

Chili's is doing a Shout Out to Eat Out promotion. Their "Shout Out to Eat Out" website is still under development, but as soon as it's up you can enter for a chance to win a gift card to Chili's everyday for roughly 3 months! To enter the contest users will have to upload a 10 second to 30 second video telling why they do not want to cook tonight. One winner each day will be selected at random.

The Giveaway!
