First and foremost, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who entered my giveaway. It was so nice to see so many of you come out of the woodwork to respond. I had no idea so many of you had made and loved my recipes. It made my heart overflow again with love. I greatly appreciate your suggestions on which desserts to scale down next. There was an overwhelming majority for coconut cream pie, angel food cake, pecan pie, and tiramisu. I will get right to work on all of your requests! I have to confess that I've tried making angel food cake many times, and each time, my cupcakes shrink once they come out of the oven. Not pretty. In the meantime, I've been living on Jessica's version.
I also want to say that many of you requested recipes that I already have on the site. So, please please please, check out my recipe index and your wish will be granted! Even for something you might not normally consider a dessert: corn muffins, biscuits, or banana bread, I already scaled those down for y'all. Enjoy!
And now, without further ado, I would like to announce the winner!
#39 is Tara W. Congratulations, Tara! I sent you an email. Respond quickly so I can get this to you before Valentine's Day!

MMMMM. Love how you used maple syrup for the strawberry sauce! Last time I had strawberry sauce on pancake/waffles was probably years ago at a denny's/Ihop... and who knows what they put in there! Nothing real, I'm sure!

Stephie @ Eat Your Heart Out says
It never would have occurred to me to try to scale down Angel Food Cake. Maybe that's because it is such a pain in the...well, you probably know...to make! (Love doing it though, I guess I'm either a masochist or I love the challenge) I will be interested to see what you come up with!
(I'm really excited about a smaller version of coconut cream pie, though. I'm probably going to have to find myself one of those 4 inch pie plates before then, just for that purpose...or maybe you should just move out to the super-awesome-always-warm-whatareyoutalkingaboutcold Chicago so we can just be best friends and next door neighbors. Kthanks.)

Hi Stephie,
Your wish for coconut cream pie will be granted next week!! Stay tuned! :)
I've never been to Chicago! I think my cowgirl boots & Texas drawl would embarrass you. Are you sure you want me there? ;)
