Announcing the Real Challenge for Real Bakers Photo Contest Winners

Your votes are in and the results have been calculated.

Congratulations to Michaela! Her Saturday morning bread baking story and photo was selected as the winner of an incredible 48-piece collection from Nordic Ware®, including Spring-themed Bundt™ pans, cookware sets, and other accessories.

And congratulations to our other contest winners who will also be receiving some quality bakeware from Nordic Ware®. Susan’s mouthwatering Pink Buttercream Cupcakes got her a 2nd Prize placement and 28-piece bakeware package, and Kara’s Real Oreo Cupcakes posted a close finish, awarding her the 3rd place 14-piece package.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this contest and to Nordic Ware® for providing bakeware that’s on every discerning baker’s wishlist. It was fun to read your stories and share them with others.

1st Place: Baking Bread on a Saturday Morning

What's your favorite thing to bake and share your favorite baking story:

Ever since I can remember, my mother baked bread every Saturday morning. I continue that tradition now that I am a mother myself. There is nothing more basic and delicious than butter melting on thick slices of homemade bread. My family still uses the same sourdough starter that has been passed down to four generations. After a morning spent baking bread, I feel like I accomplished something important. Nourishment for the body, yes, but even more for my soul.

— Michaela from California

2nd Place: Pink Buttercream Cupcakes

What’s your favorite thing to bake and share your favorite baking story:

Big, little, or in between, cakes, especially buttery yellow cakes, are my favorite to bake. It cuddles so nicely with any flavor from chocolate to berries. I will share a funny baking story, but it wasn’t so fun at the time! My dear, and always efficient husband, tried to carry 3 wrapped trays of the pink cupcakes that I had promised for a local benefit, all in one trip. And trip he did. I did salvage one tray, but the rest were “cupcake cobbler”. We managed to save the dipped berries from the tops, and I hear they sold like hot cakes. I consoled myself with sweet buttery remains! Next time, I’m going with cookies, and hopefully I will have some nice new bake ware to donate too.

— Susan from Florida

3rd Place: Real Oreo Cupcakes!

What’s your favorite thing to bake and share your favorite baking story:

The smells and tastes of baking something delicious are only part of the story. That’s why I love baking. It begins when I find the perfect recipe and begin shopping for only premium ingredients, like real Challenge butter. When I spend the time to bake the best, I want to make sure it tastes the best. That’s the secret of any great baking story!

— Kara from California

The Cinnamon That Tastes More Like Cinnamon

When we started the sweepstakes, we were seeking a partner that would be a natural fit with Challenge butter, and who better than Spice Islands!

With such an extensive collection of spices, we knew they would have everything you’d need for your cooking and baking needs.

Spice Islands travels the world to find the best sources – no matter how remote. So that means their spices are the highest quality available and only the best goes into their bottles, that way your creations taste as flavorful as possible.

With even more holidays coming up around the corner, we know that cinnamon is a common ingredient used in your fall and winter treats!

But did you know that not all cinnamon is the same? That’s why Spice Islands travels all the way to the Mekong Delta to harvest its cassia cinnamon. Some cinnamon has a mild woody flavor. That’s understandable, considering it’s actually tree bark. But still, who wants to bite into a woody snickerdoodle? Not us! The flavor of cinnamon can vary greatly depending on the kind of tree it comes from, where it’s grown and how it’s processed. Spice Islands gets their Saigon cinnamon from a type of cassia tree that grows in the mountains of Vietnam. It’s not as common and harder to get, but it’s worth it because it’s the highest grade of cinnamon on earth. Spice Islands cinnamon has a higher volatile oil content, which means it’s more potent. It has a rich, slightly sweet, warm flavor that we know you will enjoy!

Next time you’re at the store, look for the beautiful reddish brown cinnamon in the Spice Islands bottle. It’s cinnamon that tastes more like cinnamon. So give your desserts something special.

And don’t forget to try their recipe of the week for Grandma’s Ginger Cookies!

Mountain Sky Guest Ranch - A Real Taste of the West

It's time again for another guest blogger. Please welcome RC Townsend, the Activities Director and Group Sales Director for Mountain Sky.

When Challenge approached us about the “A Taste of the West” sweepstakes, we were honored to sponsor the vacation portion of the prize. The fit felt perfect—our respective commitments to excellence had landed us at the top of our fields, and we were confident that we would provide winners with a taste of the west as fine as their butter.

For nearly 75 years, Mountain Sky Guest Ranch has offered guests Montana’s majestic natural setting and a chance to reconnect with the land – and each other. The ranch boasts an 80% guest return rate year after year, and we achieve this through a recipe that is one part breath-taking scenery, two parts fine dining, a generous portion of activities ranging from horseback riding and hiking to fly fishing and rafting. All of this is topped off with our single most important ingredient — staff interaction that often leads to lifelong friendships with our guests.

Located just north of Yellowstone National Park in southwestern Montana, we offer guests more than 8,000 acres of beautiful, rugged countryside that backs up to the vast and pristine Gallatin National Forest. Whether you experience this landscape on horseback, while hiking, on a raft or drift boat, or wading in a stream, we’re confident that you’ll truly get a quality taste of the western lifestyle. For those too young for the trails, we offer kids programming with unparalleled energy and creativity. Those looking for more relaxation than adventure can enjoy the stunning views from our pool and spa facility, kick their feet up in the quiet and peaceful setting on the front porch of the lodge or their cabin, or they can sneak off to enjoy one of our secluded hammocks. Whatever your age, whatever your desire, we’re confident you’ll experience the best the west has to offer at Mountain Sky.

Good luck to all the sweepstakes entrants, and Happy Holidays from all of us here at Mountain Sky Guest Ranch!

Happy Holidays from OXO!

Today we'd like to feature a post by a guest blogger from OXO, Bena Shah! Read below to see what she has to say about your holiday cooking preparations.

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are almost here – where did the time go?! At OXO, we’re no strangers to the slicing, dicing, chopping and roasting that comes along with Thanksgiving and all of the other holidays this time of year. It is our fundamental belief that having the right tools at your fingertips makes you comfortable and confident in the kitchen. And feeling comfortable and confident in the kitchen can make the difference between serving up a bird that you can be proud of and one that you might hope heads south for the winter.

For nearly 20 years, OXO has been dedicated to creating tools that make everyday living easier. In that time, we’ve introduced over 800 household tools, each based on the philosophy of Universal Design, which takes as many needs as possible into consideration in the design process. The result is a product that is easy – and fun – to use by the widest range of users – young and old, male and female, lefties and righties, and gourmands such as yourself. The principles of Universal Design result in a Carving and Cutting Board with tapered grips for easy lifting, even with a turkey on board; a Smooth Potato Masher with a horizontal handle to give you the leverage you need to make mashed potatoes with no lumps (really!); and airtight, watertight, leak-proof TOP Containers to store those delicious leftovers.

We were so thrilled when the folks at Challenge Dairy came to us with their “Taste of the West” sponsorship – it was such a natural fit. Like our devotion to the right tools, Challenge has a commitment to providing the right ingredients. We’ve been keeping up on the mouth-watering dishes that have been posted and may try out more than a few in our test kitchen as our own pre-holiday prep.

Good luck on the contest and Happy Holidays from OXO!
