Birthday Give Away..


Its a bit of a tradition now, that I have a Birthday Give away.
Well this year is no different. Although its a bit late.
Because its a Birthday Give Away, its a surprise as to what's in the box!
Last year it was a Bone China Bathroom Set, made by Robert Mack of Mack Fine China. Which was won by the lovely Doreen.
The year before it was a Reutter Gold Plated Porcelain Tea Set, that was won by Casey, although Tessie nabbed it.

Now the rules are:-

1. That you must be a follower of this blog, either on the blogger followers list or the networked blog list and your answer must be placed in the comments on this post only..

2. The question I'd like answering is:- I did some Baking on the 11th January. (See this post). I filled seven tins with cakes, but some didn't make it into the tins. ( I have a Hubby and Son that like cakes straight from the oven). How many individual cakes did I make? All the correct answers will go in the hat.

You have until 21st January to enter... Good Luck everyone...

    Debbie, since Tessie won two years ago, I doubt that I will win again, so I am just going to say a whole bunch of cakes were made! I think that I would like the recipe. They look really good!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

  7. Rosella14 January 2011 at 12:13

    I think your husband and your son are very greedy.
    So I say that there are 118 in the boxes and then there were 20 other desserts.
    Then I think you had made 148 cakes.
    Thanks for this surprice!!

  9. Kathi14 January 2011 at 12:25

    I'm taking a wild guess! 104 cakes?
    How many of them are still not eaten? That might be a good second guess. I'm guessing there are only 34 left! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  10. Wendie-kins14 January 2011 at 12:31

    This is a great fun idea for the giveaway :o) I reckon you made 10 trays of small cakes and a giant one for the main Birthday cake? which would be 2 layers so my guess is 122 x

    ReplyDelete
  11. Lainie14 January 2011 at 12:41

    My guess is 140! Happy late Birthday! I agree with Casey. I would love to have the recipes.

  12. The Old Maid14 January 2011 at 12:56

    Gosh, this is hard;D I think in the tins there were around 126 or 128 cakes;) plus what the gents could eat straight from the oven, then I guess it could be 140?;D
    Thanks for this give-away Debbie!

    I have been getting this feed in my google reader for quite a while now and so I thought I was following this blog. I was apparently wrong and am following it now.
    I say 150 cakes.

    Happy birthday!

  14. BiWuBär14 January 2011 at 13:47

    That's a great idea for a giveaway, thank you very much - but very hard to guess... I think there are about 120 tasty cakes in the tins - so let's say you've made a total of 135. Whatever the correct answer may be, you've made a lot... ;O)

    Have a great weekend!

    Ha ...Ha...I like surprise et I found the question funny.
    So , I think 128 cakes.

    ReplyDelete
  17. cockerina14 January 2011 at 15:01

    this is very difficult to count, but I try.
    considering what I can count in the boxes, there are:
    48 in total in the purple box.
    18 in the blue box.
    18 in the red box (because even if it is closed, it has the same capacity of the blue.
    26 in the rectangular box.
    14 in the pink box, even if no one can see.
    Therefore, a total of 124.
    I have no idea how many sweets, your men have eaten.
    In addition, there is the possibility that the red tray on the left there are other desserts, but I do not know quantify!
    then I say 124, from what I see, and I hope to have guessed!
    many more wishes for your birthday!
    This give away is too funny!
    kisses, Caterina

    My WAG (wild a$$ guess) is 132...but then I have no idea how many your two could eat before you boxed them. Mine have been know to scarf down a dozen cookies before they are even cool...

    And I'd like it if you'd post the recipe for the ones that look cream filled...yum!

    Debbie, What a great giveaway game!!! LOL....I am counting about 116 cakes visible in your photo and would suspect that 4 had been eaten before the photo(2 each)???

    120 cakes

    great gifts that you got!!!

  43. Patty14 January 2011 at 23:19

    Actually.....now that I looked again I bet it was more like 124 because it looks like one whole layer from the pink tub is gone! LOL

  44. Lataina14 January 2011 at 23:45

    This is going to be tough, since we don't know how many your guys ate. I think there are 124 in the tins and maybe between the three men they ate 9-12? I'm going to guess 136 total cakes baked! =D

  45. MiniKat15 January 2011 at 01:35

    I'm going to guess 144. I counted up cakes and then figured on the next multiple of 12.

  56. The Mini - Maker15 January 2011 at 17:31

    I am guessing that you made 11 batches of 12... meaning 132 total baked...
    I only find 106 in the open tins and I'm averaging 16 for the unopened tin...
    So I figure hungry hubby + hungry son = 10 cakes total eaten

    Great way to do a giveaway!

  58. Daydreamer15 January 2011 at 21:50

    Happy Birthday Debbie! (Late of course!) Like the others I have counted and guessed... what a LOT of cakes! I am drooling.... but I guess there are 124 cakes in the tins and at least 20 eaten by three hungry or was that 4 hungry men? So I say a round twelve dozen cakes! But only Two Kinds of cakes! Now I' really hungry! LOL!

    There seems to be an average of eight cakes on the top layer of each tin, times two layers per tin, times eight tins . . , I'd say 128 Cakes in total

    Debbie-

    I am going to guess 112 and since it does not say that they necessarily eat the cakes, just that they like cakes fresh out the oven, I am giving the little window of opportunity for that part of the question. LOL
