A Personalized Cupcake Apron, A Top-Rated Gift For The Baker In Your Life!

Are you looking for a PERSONALIZED cupcake apron? Well, I think I have found the best cupcake apron for you. It is absolutely adorable, I know you are going to love it and naturally, I am illustrating it with MY name...

Cupcakes By Brenda! Doesn't that sound great?   It could, of course, read whatever you want it to read because it can EASILY be personalized for yourself or for the cupcake baker in your life.

Artist blessedme on Zazzle created this design and I think that it is sweet. (Pun intended!) It can be ordered as a standard apron, a long apron or even as a child's apron.  It is one of my favorite cupcake-themed aprons and believe me I checked out quite a few when I wrote my page about cupcake aprons, Crazy About Cupcakes? Tie on a Cupcake Apron!

So what do you think? Do you love it, too?

The Keurig B70 Gourmet Single-Cup Home Brewing System

This is a great gift for a couple, and especially seniors. The optional reusable coffee filter makes this coffee brewer affordable for everyone. My favorite feature is that you can not only make a fabulous cup of coffee, but also serve hot chocolate or tea as your guest prefers.

The KitchenAid Martha Stewart Blue Collection 12-Cup Food Processor

The KitchenAid Martha Stewart Blue Collection 12-Cup Food Processor is the third in a line of top-quality KitchenAid products that I have discovered this week on Amazon. I am impressed by the reviews that I have read like, "I have been so pleased with this that I went back and ordered the blender and the hand mixer."

This Kitchenaid food processor features a 12-cup capacity in the first work bowl and a 4-cup capacity in the smaller bowl, a multipurpose and a mini blade, a tall feeding tube for larger items with a two-piece food pusher, a 700W motor and a one-year warranty. The strong motor and capacity make this food processor a great choice and one that will be hanging around the kitchen a long time from now.

Another top-quality, well-rated Christmas gift idea for the home cooks on your Christmas shopping list!

KitchenAid Martha Stewart Blue Collection 5-Speed Blender Model KSB560AQ

Here's another small appliance from Martha Stewart's Kitchenaid series. I'd have to say that I'm in love with the KitchenAid Martha Stewart Blue Collection 5-Speed Blender for a few reasons...

• It is built all in one piece! That means no more separate ring, cap and blade. You cannot imagine how wonderful that is unless you have searched for a missing ring.
• It is shatterproof. Brilliant. I think they all should be.
• It has a track underneath to put the cord in. That means one less cord on the counter!
• It is gorgeous, done in Martha Stewart's signature blue hue.

What more could you ask? How about a good review?

Robinsblue had this to say about Martha Stewart's blender, "I purchased this item to replace a cheap model that I bought years ago. I have been so very pleased with it, great capacity and very powerful. And of course, it looks great with the other items from this line. A well-made product that will last a lifetime!"

And what about price? Amazon has the KitchenAid Martha Stewart Blue Collection 5-Speed Blender on sale for $30 off the list price so that makes it $120 instead of $150 leaving you with $30 to buy a great new cookbook.

I think all of these facts combine to make it a great Christmas gift for someone on your Christmas shopping list who loves to cook.
