Product of the Day: Edge Brownie Pan

As a brownie lover, I've come across the acute pain of having uneven brownie pieces: some mushy and gooey, other's chewy and delicious. If you're an end person, check out the Baker's Edge Brownie Pan. Instead of undercooked middles, this pan makes sure that every piece has two chewy edges to compliment the softness of the perfectly cooked inards. The pan uses a zig-zag pattern wide enough for solitary brownie slices (though who can ever have just one?). If you're a gooey middle fan, forget it, this is not the pan for you, but if you're a perfectionist brownie lover, then jump on board.

The best part? No struggle to get those treats out of the pan and into your mouth. Each pan is non-stick, easy to clean and even comes with a miniature spatula. Trick: When making your brownies in this awesome pan, substitute the oil in the brownies with a half cup of almond butter. It leaves the treats moist, gooey and rich.

Why keep yourself on edge? Enjoy a delicious brownie without the struggle, courtesy of Baker's Edge Brownie Pan.

Dessert of the Day: Katy's Competitive Brownies

Some food bloggers come with a lot more than an just an appetite and laptop in hand. In fact, some in particular come with some delicious dessert baking talent. Katy Alas is one of them. Her writing skills, as seen on SugarLaws.com, may have some competition with her cooking ones. Alas' brownies, decked in a heavy, yet subtle sweetness of chocolate, with a hint of cinnamon and espresso are living proof (well until they're all devoured).

Many of NYC's hottest food bloggers are in full baking mode until Wednesday, June 9th, for "Best Desserts Competition", a benefit for The Lamp at Double Windsor Bar in Brooklyn. These foodies will be grilled, or rather, baked by celebrity judges, including Behind the Burner's, Divya Gugnani.

Admission gets you drink specials, an entry to the raffle, and a tasting plate of all the deserts entered. All proceeds will help benefit the Lamp's nonprofit organization to reform and improve media.

Watch out contestants, looks like this dessert of the day may be some tough, yet tasty, competition.
