Round Up 1: Cakes, Cookies and Desserts and the Winner

Hey Folks,
Thanks a bunch for the endearing support and those resplendent, walloping 237 entries for my first event, 'Cakes, Cookies and Desserts'.
Truly speaking, when I thought of announcing this event, I was almost quivering with anxiety for the entries, but now I'm equally frenzied with such a banging number. My heartfelt gratitude salutes you all and I am intoxicated with the sweetness of all these delectable desserts and bakes.
Since I used the 'linky tool', so I'm not uploading the entries individually again, rather copy pasting the link here. I'll be doing so in two parts, and this is the first round of it.
As I had announced, there is definitely a surprise gift waiting for the winner who has been chosen by random.org. All the entries were wondrous, and if I had to choose one, I would possibly end up killing myself for not finding one, but thankfully I switched to Random Selection.
You all are winners my dearies, but since I just have one gift to be couriered, this 'Rossetti 12 Muffin Mould/Tin'


goes to Pari for her Quick Tiramisu with Amarula
Congratulations dear!! :) 

Here's the round-up of the first 110 linked entries and 5 received by e-mail. Also, there are special laurels and accolades for a few entries that were unrivaled and sinful.

  4. Knead fora  couple of minutes till it forms a dough or till the cashew paste starts letting oil go.
  5. Then divide the dough into two equal parts. In one part mix the strawberry crush, and the second part remains plain.
  6. Now take the plain dough and roll it with a rolling pin forming a small rectangle shape (about your palm size) between two plastic sheets.
  7. Take strawberry cashew dough and do the same.
  8. Place one sheet over the other, and between two sheets place some crushed almond and cashews.
  9. Roll it tightly, and cut it into circles.
  10. Roll is ready; now dip the edge of rolls in crushed pistachio, almond powder with the help of strawberry crush.
