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!!!

    Nothing gives me quite the same pleasure as creating something wonderful in the kitchen. Baking is so fantastic because it’s artful, makes the house smell divine, and results in yummies to be consumed. I love all kinds of said yummies – and especially enjoy attacking whole pies with a fork! – but my go-to, never-fails-to-make-me-smile dessert is the old-fashioned chocolate chip cookie (with cinnamon added, of course!). Here’s hoping I can try out some new recipes courtesy of Brown Betty!

    CAKE ME!!! I don’t think picking one baked good is reall possible but I’m going with two – my ginger molasses cookies and my caramel brownies friends call them crack brownies.

    CAKE ME! I like almost all desserts and wanted to be a pastry chef when I was younger. If I had to choose it would have to be something like a lemon tart or lemon squares!!!

    My favorite cake is what my mom always made me for my birthday: angel food cake with strawberries on top. But I cannot resist a warm chocolate chip cookie – and this time a year I make pumpkin puff cookies that are just as irresistible when they are hot out of the oven and the chocolate chips are gooey :)

    I love oatmeal raisin cookies. My grandma always told me you could eat them for breakfast with a glass of milk.

    Cake Me! I pretty much never met a dessert I didn’t like (except maybe black licorice). If I had to pick a favorite cake it would be a tie between my grandmother’s German Chocolate with TDF gooey coconut icing and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

    My all-time favorite baked good is pie. I do not discriminate when it comes to pie types, I’m just happy that the pie season is still upon us!

    Cake me! Well, actually, I have to say that I myself like a select few types of cake (we had pie at our wedding because I like it better!) but my husband loves all baked goods. He often begs me to make him things. I do enjoy some good cookies, chocolate chip, shortbread… though, the cookie dough is often the best part!

    Cake Me! There’s not too many sweets I’ll say no to but my favorite is a warm chocolate cake (preferably lava) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    Cake me! I have a bowl of chocolate candy that sits on my desk and doesn’t tempt me at all, but I have a hard time saying no to a warm chocolate chip cookie.

    love my old family recipie – chocolate cake made with buttermilk to be extra moist. The frosting consists of a stick of butter, cocoa, and an entire box of powdered sugar. Can’t beat that.

    My favorite baked dessert is a cake my mom makes every year
    for my Birthday. It is Chocolate and has mashed dates in it so it
    is very moist. The topping is sugar, pecans and chocolate chips!
    It never tastes as good when I make it!

    CAKE ME! It’s not baked (fried) but my favorite cookie of all time is fattigman…a Norwegian cookie made at Christmas.

    I love to bake cupcakes with a creamy chocolate raspberry frosting. My tot is my best helper and I’d happily bake something new with her each day. And then I’d explode. :)

    My mom makes this pie which is a chocolate rice crispie crust, filled with a peanut butter, cool whip, cream cheese mousse-type-thing, with fudge drizzled on the top and frozen. We call it peanut butter pie and we get to eat it in THREE DAYS!!! :-D

    CAKE ME! My favorite is chocolate, caramel, pecan pie — to die for. But I’ll take a chocolate chip cookie any time.
