Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract- Win it! {closed}
Ten things you didn’t know about me and vanilla:
10. I’ve always and forever bought imitation vanilla extract.
9. I stare at those pretty dark brown bottles of real vanilla with longing.
8. I am horrible at spending money *cue Husband’s cheering* so I always buy the cheapest of everything (including vanilla).
7. My mom baked with imitation vanilla extract and I still had a happy childhood.
6. I recently bought real vanilla extract at my grocery store and I was giddy with anticipation. I hated it.
5. I baked 3 things with the grocery store vanilla before I gave up and threw it away.
4. I contacted Wild Bean Vanilla Company and confessed my imitation vanilla extract sins and my real vanilla extract dislike and asked if there is a 12 step program for real vanilla extract drop outs.
3. The people at Wild Bean Vanilla promised to convert me and said that the problem is that grocery store vanilla is aged for 2 weeks, while hand crafted vanilla is aged for 2 months.
2. I have been baking with their Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract all week…and I LOVE it! Sweet success! My buttercream just got even more awesome. Oh yeah.
1. Wild Bean Vanilla Company is letting me share my new found vanilla-love with you!

i started making my own home-made Madagascar vanilla extract in December, and haven't looked back since! 🙂 There's something wonderful about real vanilla bean specks in your vanilla.
I have had real vanilla few times but never this brand. And, it was probably old. So I would LOVE to try this. Mmmmm!

Woah. Bourbon vanilla? I'm salivating at the the mere thought of it.
I would love to try the Wild Bean Vanilla!
I wonder how the vanilla I buy in Mexico compares. I love the stuff but I love anything remotely vanilla-y. I'd like to try this Madagascar stuff!
Oooh, this looks wonderful! Great giveaway, Katrina! I'm just about empty on vanilla extract… it doesn't last long in this house.
