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!!! I love coconut cake. It’s the one I always asked for on my birthday. My mom makes it the old fashioned way where you grate the coconut and boil the icing. Oh my goodness it’s heaven!!

    cake me please!

    In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’d say my favorite dessert is my Grandmother’s recipe for chocolate chip pumpkin cake made in a bundt pan. It is soooo good. And you MUST eat it with whipped cream.

    I love fruit tarts with mixed berries and a little custard layer on top of the crust! I could eat those all day (and night)!

    CAKE ME! I love my Grandma’s white cake, with 2 sticks of butter melted over it and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Simple but AMAZING!

    CAKE ME! My favorite dessert to make is molten chocolate cakes with homemade whipped cream and fresh strawberries – it’s super simple, but so delish.

    What a great idea to include the props from the cookbook in the giveaway! I’m dying to get my hands on that mint green cake stand.

    Cake me! I love chocolate peanut butter brownies. Especially if they are slightly underdone and fudgy in the middle.

    Oh it’s so hard to choose! But if I had to pick one I would choose my mother’s chocolate chip cookies but cheesecake would be a close second. :)

    I love so many different types of desserts and really enjoy baking, so it’s hard to choose a favorite. However, I think the classic chocolate chip cookie may be my top choice. I have great memories of baking them with my mom while I was growing up, and I hope to pass on the good memories to my own kids.
