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.

    My favorite dessert are my mom’s chocolate cookies – before she bakes them. I heat the dough in the microwave and eat with chocolate ice cream. YUMMM

    I love most baked goods (and baking), but I think I’m partial to cookies. Of course chocolate chip are a favorite of mine.

    I love to bake and I always make sure we have fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in our home. I think I may like the raw cookie dough the best :)

    CAKE ME PLEASE!
    My favorite dessert is pretty much anything my sister or my mother-in-law bake. Some of my favorites include a chocolate chip cookie stuffed with an Oreo or “Slutty Brownies” which are a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough, a layer of double stuff Oreos, topped with a layer of brownie.

    Cake me!! My favourite dessert is regular old choc cake, though for some reason, it seems all that more special when it’s three layers tall!

    My favourite dessert has to be cheesecake… Mmmmm :)

    Question: If I live in Canada but have a US shipping address, can I enter giveaways that say they are only open to the US?

    CAKE ME! I love most baked goods, but my most recent favorite is my friend’s autumn spice cake – it’s kind of like german chocolate cake, but with fall flavors! Soo delicious!

    I have to pick one? Sweet baked goods are my weakness. Hmmm… I think I’ll have to go with the ever classic chocolate chip cookie. Never gets old and I can never eat just one!

    CAKE ME! Oh shoot. I love baked goods so much. My favorite to actually make is probably cupcakes. They’re so cute and little. And the icing is so good. Ooh and cranberry bread. That’s the best Christmas food. It’s definitely the snacking time of afternoon…
