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 googled “recipe for a cake like Pepperidge Farm coconut cake” for my birthday this year and found an oh-my-word-crazy-good recipe. I almost didn’t share. ;)

    CAKE ME! My favorite dessert is pretty much anything with chocolate… and no nuts.. I don’t generally like nuts in my sweets (though there are always some exceptions)

    Cake me!!! A chewy oatmeal cookie that includes coconut and nuts with white chocolate chips or toffee chips is a favorite of mine. Of course, I wouldn’t refuse a Heath bar chocolate cupcake from our local bakery!

    CAKE ME! Cupcakes are the nemesis to my favorite pair of skinny jeans. But I love ANYTHING with icing on it…or in it!

    I am weak in the knees for any kind of fruit cobbler / fruit pie / fruit anything dessert after many years of my Mom’s Mennonite apple platz being the go-to party dessert.

    Cake me. Picking one baked good is hard, but I guess I vote for cake, my yellow cake with vanilla bean icing is pretty darn good if I do say so myself.

    It isn’t baked, but I die for my sisters no-bake cookies. They are sent from heaven. And she knows how much I adore them. If I have a bad day and go over to vent, she goes straight for the oats and starts making me a batch of no-bakes.

    Tiramisu…but my husbands Italian godmothers is the one I pine for. Others will do, but hers is the BEST!

    I LOVE lemon bars and pretty much every other dessert imaginable.

    I am now craving lemon bars. It’s amazing what the power of suggestion and my imagination do to my appetite these days… gotta love pregnancy. Cookie dough and cake batter sound pretty good right now too. Okay, now I need to stop.

    I kept thinking it was cookies…but I’m pretty sure it’s spice cake! Maybe it’s seasonal(?), but I’m LOVING the spice cake- with or without icing…but especially with whipped cream! :)

    Is there really one dessert that dominates the others? I am an equal-opportunity dessertist. But I would probably hurt someone for chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, not going to lie.

    Usually my favorite dessert is a chocolate cake but right now I thinking of pumpkin cupcakes with creams cheese icing.

    Cake Me! all of them, but most of all flourless chocolate cake with some ice cream! Mmmmm. Love pumpkin pie batter (without the eggs) too, although not as much cooked. Weird, I know!
