I get quite a lot of email from companies wanting things from me (quite often free publicity!), and I ignore or decline the vast majority of them. But occasionally a pitch is so perfectly well-aligned with my blog that it leaps out at me and I actually want to get involved. Such was the case when I received an email from Beki at jewellery company The Rusted Chain. Beki's sterling silver creations are so utterly charming that I jumped at the chance to pair up with her and offer a baking-related giveaway.
The item up for grabs is the Life Is Sweet necklace, pictured above. The sterling silver pendant hangs from an 18" stainless steel chain, along with a bead, a Swarovski crystal and a freshwater pearl. This necklace would be perfect for a girly cake lover! (And in case you needed any more persuasion that this would be a good thing to wear, Martha Stewart herself owns one of Beki's necklaces.)
Worldwide entries are welcome. To enter, either leave a comment below OR send me a tweet confessing your all-time favourite sweet treat. Please make sure I have a way to get in touch with you (Twitter, blog link or email) as I will need to contact the winner for their mailing address. The winner will be drawn on Monday 31 January at 5pm GMT (that's British time!).
You can see more pieces at The Rusted Chain or read more on Beki's blog.

Mine would have to be shortbread. I only ever make it at Christmas - which is probably why I like it so much, I only get it once a year.
Fantastic! How fun. My favourite treat right now are these fair trade chocolate bars from Coco Camino. They have one with almond butter filling, which is enough like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup to make me totally obsessed with them.
My favorite sweet treat is anything with lemon...especially lemon raspberry bars!
I love that!!!
My favorite treats are chocolate covered pretzels YUM!

My favorite sweet treat is Pizzelles :) My great great Aunt passed the baking tradition of these down to me 2 years ago, and I have enjoyed carrying on our Italian tradition for my family!
It's so pretty, I would actually wear jewellery for once:)
That chain is so cute! My all time favorite treat is chocolate souffle. I can never resist.
Oh and I recently developed a love for caramel :)
=) I just recently stumbled upon your blog and I love it!
My favorite all time treat is a Croatian dessert called Sape. They're flakey cookies with walnuts, rolled in sugar! So great, and we only have them once a year for Christmas, so they definitely are a treat!
What a perfect combination with jewelry and cupcakes...it makes me want to bake! Thank you for your "association." xoxo
So pretty!
I think my favorite dessert is a pavlova with fresh raspberry sauce - or blackberry - yum!

You can't beat jaffa cakes. Sitting down with a cup of tea, a good book and taking a jaffa cake apart. I always savs the orange bit till last.

My all time favorite treat is one I just made this past week and I have absolutely fallen in love with it. It is called Hummingbird Cake, and it is loaded with bananas, pecans, cinnamon and pineapple. YUM! I am happy that I found your blog. It looks like a great website and has some yummy recipes! Thanks!

Ooops, I forgot to leave my email- it's kittykatarini@gmail.com
and I like my Croatian Sape cookies as a treat =)
i love baking... cakes, pies, cookies, cheesecake, EVERYTHING. but for me, nothing will ever beat oreos & peanut butter.
All time fav treat would be from a bakery in Toronto called Sweet Indulgence" on Coxwell ave. It's a lemon tart with a chocolate layer between the shell and lemon filling topped with a small lemon wedge. It's a little slice of heaven.

What a lovely giveaway. So pretty.
My favourite sweet treat is what my Mother used to make for my birthday, instead of a cake: angel pie. A wondrous concoction of meriengue, whipped cream & lemon pudding. Hits the spot.
Cupcakes, of course!
Hmm, am I allowed to say that fruit with yogurt and honey is my favourite sweet treat? Oh, you want to know about my favourite baked item, well then, it's cheesecake with a big pile of fruit on top.
Yummy! That was so tasty and delicious.

Cream cheese frosting. I make it and keep it in the freezer, and for a quick treat I dunk chocolate Teddy Grahams in it or ginger snaps.
My favorite sweet treat is red velvet cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting. nom nom nom

Anything sweet with peanut butter is my kind of thing! Homemade Recesse are the best! I made those a while ago, I'll have to post them soon.
Jess : )
My favorite baked treat is a cupcake size brownie with a caramel baked in the middle. They are sooooo good fresh from the oven.

what a pretty necklace!
my favourite sweet treat is, this winter, Lazy Daisy Cake. My daughters (one whose name IS Daisy) both love it too, and it's incredibly easy & fast to whip up after supper...the brown sugar/butter/coconut topping...delish!
crossing my fingers!

My favorite treat is lemon meringue pie but it has to be the lemon pie that my daughter makes-so tangy and yummy!

My favorite sweet treat is Triple Chocolate Cookie. It has a chocolate and espresso cookie base and is studded with bittersweet chocolate and white chocolate chips. It's moist, chewy and chocolate-y. Walnuts add crunch but can be omitted. Naturally, it's full of calories that's why I make it only once a year and eat only what's left after I've given all my friends and family their share.
chocolate espresso cake - a favourite sweet treat when baked as a mini-cupcake :)
