Show Us Your Friendship Bread Contest!

Congrats to this contest winner, Dori Cordle from DeFuniak Springs, Florida. We love these Pumpkin Spice cupcakes.


Wow, what a great year it’s been! Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us in the Kitchen, and a special hug and thank you to those of you who let me know how much you loved my novel, Friendship Bread. It’s making its way around the world and I’m so excited to have so many wonderful folks in the Kitchen with us!

Our final contest of the year: the “Show Us Your Friendship Bread!” Photo Contest. We’re giving away this fabulous Baker’s Secret Nonstick Petite Loaf Pan — it makes 8 mini loaves at a time, so it’s perfect for Amish Friendship Bread gift giving.

Here are the specs for you Kitchen geeks:

  • Nonstick mini loaf pan with 8 slots — great for making small breads or chilling ice cream treats
  • 2-ply steel fortified with ETP for enhanced durability and rust protection
  • Delivers even cooking results, optimal browning, and easy release of baked goods
  • Use non-metal utensils only; broiler-safe rating
  • Dishwasher safe; 5-year limited warranty

If you’ve enjoyed the novel, Friendship Bread, or enjoy baking Amish Friendship Bread for friends and neighbors, we’d love to see your photos!

    I was going to post a photo of my friendship bread, but it said I had to be a Member of Amazon.com to do so. It was suppose to be free. I did fill out the info to join and it won’t let me post any photo unless I order something first.
