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! While I love cake, my all time favorite dessert is definitely Lemon Meringue Pie. Light, lemony, sweet, and tart. Sign.

    If I could choose one food that I could eat endlessly without getting full or gaining weight, it would be gooey chocolate chip cookies!

    Last year I had a delicious chocolate cake that I think was actually called a chocolate bread, and I believe it was from Williams-Sonoma. IT. WAS. YUMMY.

    Locally, we have a pretty amazing cupcakery, Sassafrost. I’m planning on having their cupcakes for my wedding in the spring. Their chocolate ganache is my absolute favorite, but the raspberry lemonade is a very close second. http://www.sassafrost.com/cupcakes/

    I can never say “no” when my husband asks if we should make bread pudding. Especially pumpkin bread pudding with caramel sauce. Yum.

    Do I have to pick just one?? :) Ummmm … if I absolutely had to choose, I think I’d have to fall back on the white chocolate mousse I was OBSESSED with as a kid. Haven’t had it in years … yum!

    I’m in dessert overload right now trying to decide what non-traditional Thanksgiving dessert to make. Pinterest is the devil!

    CAKE ME! My favorite baked dessert is my mom’s cheescake! It has almond extract in it with a sour cream topping (sounds kind of gross but it is oh so good)!

    CAKE ME please! I am a sucker for chocolate chip cookies, or even better – M&Ms chocolate chip cookies. Just made a batch for a friend’s birthday with blue M&Ms! Apple crisp in the fall is a close second with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
