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!!!

    It’s impossible for me to pick just one baked dessert, so I’m picking four (in no particular order): Impossible Pie, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Cheesecake, and Pound Cake.

    CAKE ME! My favorite would be a sour cream pound cake that my mother always made. She passed the secrets of it on to my now 13 yr. old daughter and it has now become her speciality. Miss Mom but always remember her when we have this cake.

    My favorite dessert is a red velvet cake or peach cobbler. But my favorite to make is apple pie. Because when you achieve that golden flaky crust, life is good :)

    Cake me! My mom’s oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I could an entire batch and then convince myself it’s okay because the oatmeal makes them healthy.

    CAKE ME! I’m a sucker for ANY kind of baked good. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Ina Garten’s outrageous brownies. Go make them now.

    CAKE ME! My favorite cake is yellow with chocolate frosting. But one of my overall favorite baked goods is apple pie. It’s just so good anytime – breakfast or dessert!

    Cake Me!!! Peanut butter and chocolate anything… there is no wrong when those two are paired and thrown into the oven.

    I grew up with my mom’s Dump Cake which I never really believed was an official recipe until college. My mom would let me dump the ingredients and she always used loads of butter. Now my 2.5 yr old can stand at the counter and help “dump”. Free of flour spills & egg gooey-ness, it’s my favorite to date!

    CAKE ME!! Seriously, I’m a total sucker for any kind of baked dessert. Chocolate chip cookies, german chocolate cake, apple pie, apple crisp – I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite. It’s a real problem!

    Cake me! My fav dessert changes with the season. Love christmas cookies in winter, fruit tarts or strawberry shortcake in spring, ice cream in summer (or anything fruity), and pies in fall. Chocolate is year-round though!

    I could live off of still warm chocolate chip cookies, with a brownie center. Those things are the most amazing combo dessert, just add some ice cream and I’m in heaven.

    CAKE ME! Chocolate desserts are my go-to, that and key lime pie, which unfortunately is rather hard to find sometimes in WI.
