Remember that Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake shaped like a turkey that my colleague Andrea Weigl gave away on the Mouthful blog last month?
Well, she's at it again, but this time she's giving away a $31 Baskin-Robbins gift card to purchase an ice cream cake shaped like a snowman, an elf, or Santa.
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on Andrea's post on the Mouthful blog HERE. You have until noon Friday to enter.
Good luck, everyone.
