I first heard about Bake It Pretty after spotting this photo on The Small Object's flickr photostream.
Candy that looks like vintage buttons? Say no more. I've mentioned my love for buttons in the past. I immediately ordered the vintage button mold and some colored candy melts.
I'm not much of a baker, but I am totally in love with the selection in Amanda Krueger's shop. She has more cupcake liners, cake toppers and candy molds than you can possibly imagine, including a mustache lollipop mold! I think they would be adorable for a little boy's birthday party.
The Bake It Pretty Blog has several tutorials on creating candy buttons and chocolate skeleton keys, and tips on making the perfect icing.
Best of all: the prices are reasonable, which is always shocking when you find a shop with unique products.
I emailed Amanda and let her know how much I loved her shop. She generously offered to give away a $25 Bake It Pretty gift certificate to one lucky freshvintage blog reader!
Leave a comment below to be entered in the drawing. The contest ends at 8pm on Sunday, March 1st. I'll randomly pick a winner after the contest closes. Please include your email address, so I can contact you.
If you mention the giveaway on your blog, leave a second comment to let me know. You'll get an extra chance to win.
Thanks, Amanda!

Oh, how very nice! Regardless of whether or not I win, I must definitely get those button candy molds. You have been reading my mind; I spent years trolling eBay for vintage cupcake picks before you came along.
