Fab Freebie: Save Room For Cake

***This giveaway is now closed. See who won below!***

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Our lucky winner this week is… N Shirley (whose favorite dessert “to both make and eat is Virginia Apple Pudding – even makes the whole house smell good!”) Sounds delicious. Congrats!

We’ve had a few questions about why all contests aren’t open to international readers, so here’s that info for you. We actually ask every single vendor who approaches us to do a giveaway if they’ll ship internationally and we remind them that the more folks are included, the more exciting it is for everyone. We LOVE you all and always want to open our giveaways to as many people as possible! It unfortunately comes down to each company’s policy (some folks are set up to deal with customs/shipping internationally while some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond the US – even if it’s just a book or a gift card). Sadly, we can’t change companies policies, and if we held out for international prizes and rejected everything else, we could no longer host weekly giveaways – which we’ve done for years. Hope that makes sense! We’ll continue to do our best to include as many of you guys as we can (we’re so glad this cookbook is open to Canadians too!).

With Thanksgiving just days away, think of this week’s giveaway as a warm up to all of the delicious food you’ll be stuffing your face with come Thursday. The mother-daughter team behind Philly’s Brown Betty Dessert Boutique is celebrating their new cookbook, The Brown Betty Cookbook, by giving away a copy along with $100 towards Terrain, whose wares appears on the cookbook’s pages. So if you’re like us and drool equally over amazing desserts and stylish kitchenware, you’re in luck. Seriously. I think I got a sugar high just by looking at some of the pictures.

    CAKE ME! I think gooey, straight-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies take the “cake” for me :) But I also love fruit cobblers/crisps.

    My mom makes desserts as her full time job, so I am very spoiled with “test” desserts and they are always spectacular!!

    My favorite holiday desert are cream cheese cookies. It has been a family tradition to make these yummy little cookies and I can’t wait to pass it on to my kids!! The original recipe is from a 1950’s Betty Crocker cookbook that was my great grandmothers.

    Uh…CAKE ME!

    I can’t pick…I like it all. Cakes, Candies, Cookies, Cupcakes…I want it ALL.

    I put on weight just smelling sweet candles. ;-)

    My current flavor of the month would be turtle cheesecake. Pass me over a slice covered in carmel, chocolate and PECANS!

    Great…now I’ve got to leave my desk and make a snack!

    My all time favorite dessert is my childhood piano teacher’s shortbread cookies. So buttery soft and rich. Yum!

    CAKE ME! I come from a long line of professional bakers and ranch women, so I know my baked goods. And boy is it hard to pick just one favorite! But my grandmother’s claim to fame is a fabulous chocolate brownie nut pie that I break a lot of diet rules for every year!

    CAKE ME! While I actually am a part-time baker (for a local coffee and wine bar), my favorite baked treat is a childhood favorite – toffee bars. So, so simple. Soft, ooey gooey and delicious. I always wondered why they were called toffee bars when they aren’t hard. Then me and my mom accidentally burnt a batch. Remarkably, they tasted exactly like toffee :D

    Cake Me! My favorite treat is my mom’s sugar cookies. They are so much better than your standard sugar cookie. The perfect amount of soft and crispy and the frosting is delish!

    At our local grocery store (which has since been bought out by Whole Foods) they make a Key Lime Cheesecake that is to die for. I only get a slice once in a blue moon since I don’t want to regularly put away 700 calories for dessert, but it is my absolute favorite!

    I looove cupcakes! In fact, I just had one this morning that had maple frosting & bacon on it (I figured if it had bacon in it, it was totally acceptable to eat for breakfast! lol)
    I also really love cheesecake from Juniors up north…it’s a rare treat since I’m living in Texas, but when I get the chance to have some it’s amazing!

    Thanks for all of your fun posts & giveaways…this is a really cool one, and would be such a treat to win!

    Cake me! I’m having trouble deciding between German Chocolate cake (with the coconut frosting) or the famous NY Times chocolate chip cookies sprinkled with sea salt.
