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! What’s better than oatmeal chocolate chip cookies than oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough?!?! I love the stuff. My grandma always saved me a ziploc of the cookie dough when she made cookies.

    Yes, the cookie dough is amazing, but I’ll pretty much devour anything with chocolate, chocolate, or chocolate!

    My favorite baked dessert would probably be brownies. Dense, fudgy, chocolately brownies, no nuts or frosting. Might have to break out the baking supplies tonight. :D

    CAKE ME! I can eat just about any dessert but I love cookies the most. They are portable and you don’t need any utensils to eat them!

    My favorite is a cake my Mother In law always gets at the bakery called “tuxedo cake”. I also LOVE chewy brownies.

    CAKE ME!! I’m so happy the giveaway is open to Canadians! To answer your question, I love every dessert, but my favorite ones always include chocolate. Cake, cookies, cupcake, pudding, name it!

    I just got home from a little jaunt in Paris and I have two new favorites. The first is mille feuille….layers of crunch pastry, cream, chocolate, etc. The second is macarons! I was not on the macaron train until I had the original Laduree macaron….perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The flavor combinations are endless.

    CAKE ME! I love my mom’s chocolate sheet cake. It has been my preferred birthday cake for years and I swear it tastes better if made by my mom and not someone else with the exact same recipe.

    CAKE ME! My all time favorite desert is probably key lime pie. I’m not really fan of chocolate cake, unless my mother-in-law makes it. Hers it the best!

    My favorites are a tie between spongey yellow cake smothered in chocolate icing and fresh from the oven warm chocolate chip cookies. Although, the unbaked cookie dough wins over them all.

    As an on-again, off-again pastry chef, it’s hard to pick just one favorite dessert, but probably the thing I make the most is chocolate chip cookies. Satisfies my husband’s chocoholic fix, plus I love the butter-y, caramal-y notes/goodness! :)
