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! Cakes are great, coconut is probably my favorite, but I’m totally a pie person. Pear, banana cream, strawberry rhubarb, apple, even a basic chess, love them. But no pumpkin, thankyouverymuch.

    CAKE ME, Cake me, Say that you’ll cake me.
    I am a baking queen and my all time favorite thing to make (and consequently ferociously devour) are chocolate cupcakes with a thick ganache frosting. Mmmmmm.

    My favorite dessert would have to be pie. Coconut cream, lemon meringue, pumpkin, pecan, German chocolate and the list goes on and on. It is so very difficult to decide which would be the top pick, they are all divine!

    I love anything chocolate. I’m a Philly girl so Tastycakes are good too. Hope you are able to add our area to your tour.

    I love to bake the 3 ingredient banana bread recipe I found on Pinterest. I actually add turbano sugar to the top and it’s to die.

    CAKE ME! Tough choice between Davis Baking Company Angel Food Squares and their Chocolate Chocolate Layer Cake. Davis Baking Company no longer exists, but a very good substitute Angel Food Squares can be found in Creedmoor, NC at Nona’s Bakery 209 North Main Street, Creedmoor, NC. I love cake so much. Angel Food Squares….siiiiigh

    Cake me!!! I think if i had a bite of that cake on the cover of the cookbook, it would be my favorite. Until then…I love a good (warm, fresh and full of chocolate chips) cookie! :)

    That’s a difficult question – its definitely a toss-up between toffee cheesecake and caramel apple crisp.

    CAKE ME! I love all deserts, but the one that has been on my mind for a while now is warm banana foster bread pudding with vanilla ice cream! Yummy.

    Love the Italian Cream Cake recipe I found on the Pioneer Woman’s blog. I made it for my husband for our anniversary last year, and it was a huge hit!

    CAKE ME! My grandmother, whom we affectionately called Grandma Goose, used to bake and send us her molasses drop cookies every holiday season. Now that she’s passed on, that recipe is even more cherished and easily the family favorite. We always have to make more before the holidays are over!

    I don’t know about my all-time favorite baked dessert (there are a lot in the running), but right now I could go for a molten chocolate lava cake!

    Can I just eat the cookie dough batter? Or brownie batter–that would be fine…cooked works too, just in a ooey-gooey stage, no overbaking!

    Peanut butter and chocolate mousse pie with oatmeal crust (this restaurant near college served it and i have since come up with my own recipe)

    My favorite desert is chocolate chip cookie bars, with half the chocolate chips sub’d for butterscotch chips. Bars are so much more moist than a cookie itself and the butterscotch chips just add a little something else.

    I love cheesecake! A baked, takes 2 days to make, real cream cheese cheesecake. None of that jello ‘no-bake’ junk!

    Cake Me!!!! my absolute favorite is white cake with berry chocolate mousse filling with a whip cream frosting. However the vanilla icecream I made this morning was delightful

    Sorry, can I just ask if that means that when prizes are only for US I am completely ineligible or I could still enter, but would have to have my prize shipped to my friends in the US and then have them ship to me?

    If I can do the later CAKE ME!!! My favourite is lemon and poppyseed with cream cheese icing!

      It just means that the company will ship within those bounds, so if you have a friend or family member in the US, the prize can be shipped to them and they can hopefully forward it on. Hope that helps!

    CAKE ME! …My favorite baked dessert has to be homemade apple pie. I have only had it homemade a couple times, but, oh man! It’s so good! When I actually get the time to make one with a friend, it’s my favorite :)
