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.

    The baked good I look forward to most is cookies made by Mom at christmas — specifically these ravioli looking cookies that are chocolate outside and raspberry jam inside.

    Also, I LOVE BROWN BETTY! The shop is only a few blocks from my office!

    ALl-time favorite baked dessert…oh my. I think it would be little chocolate cakes with teh molten chocolate inside of them – I had one on a cruise ship once, and my sil made one for a birthday as well! But close runner ups include all kinds of cookies, pies, cupcakes, crisps, etc.

    “Cake Me!” My very favorite cake is a family favorite for over sixty years in our family–Ice Box Cake. We have it for every birthday and special occasion. It is yellow cake with a custard type filling and frosting–the best cake ever…

    CAKE ME! I bake cakes out of my home in Bon Air, VA and love pretty much all cake. Do I really have to pick just one?? Snickerdoodle cake with cinnamon buttercream, or almond cake with almond butter cream. Love!!

    I for one am obsessed with peanut butter cookies. And they MUST have the fork hash marks or they just aren’t legit.

    My moms peanut butter pie. I went to college in my hometown, but lived in the dorms. My mom used to bring one over every once in a blue moon for the girls on the hall. My freshman roommate all these years later, still emails me when she’s having a bad day to say she could use a piece of my mom’s pie to cheer her up :)

    I actually HATE cake. As a child, I always asked for pie or a “cookie cake” on birthdays.

    I love apple pie, carrot cake, and cookies!

    Did someone say cake?

    Any baked good is fine by me…I can cook anything under the sun, but baking continues to illude me. Who knew it was chemistry?

    Cake me! For me, nothing beats a slightly underbaked chocolate chip cookie straight from the oven, served with ice cold skim milk. Yum!

    It is a tough tie for me… either my mom’s homemade German Chocolate Cake or a traditional Pecan Pie. Luckily we usually have both over the holidays so I don’t have to pick just one!!! yummmm :)

    CAKE ME! I’m a sucker for most any dessert – and I could not name a favorite, because it would change with my mood, the atmosphere of where I’m eating, and I what I’ve had for dinner. Some that top my list though are chocolate flourless cake, rosemary lemon poundcake, or bread pudding!

    I had the most fab red velvet cake at my uncle’s surprise birthday party this weekend, so that’s my fav for now. And that’s saying A LOT because I don’t usually like RVC!

    I occasionally get a craving for a slice of carrot cake or a ginormous cinnamon roll but I would be in seriously dire straights without warm gooey chocolate chip cookies :D. Argh! Now I have to go and mix up a batch :P.
