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.

    Oh god, cookies or cupcakes, cookies or cupcakes… is there such a thing as a cupcake cookie? Or a cookie cupcake? If so, then that. Definitely.

    I love a warm chocolate chip cookie, or a chocolate souffle cupcake with white chocolate mint whipped frosting

    It’s so hard to pick a favorite, but my favorite desserts have to be my family’s seasonal ones, since they only come once a year, making them all the more special. So, ice cream cookie sandwiches in the summer, apple cakes and pumpkin pie in the fall, and my mom’s cream cheese rolls at Christmas!

    I love ice cream (I usually choose vanilla because it’s easy and inexpensive, but the best is Graeter’s raspberry chocolate chip), with homemade chocolate pudding poured on top (and don’t use the box kind). It is amazing.

    I am a huge dessert fan and love love to share my favorites over at the blog… perhaps my latest fall cravings are for breads – banana, persimmon, carrot, mmmm, all of them!

    I am an absolute sweet-tooth-aholic and have a pinterest board loaded with dessert recipes/pictures of goodies to drool over as proof.
    But if I had to pick a favorite…Grandma’s homemade peach kuchen. Yay for having it at Thanksgiving in a few days :)

    Love reading your blog and book ~ keep up the great work!!

    CAKE ME! I have a major sweet tooth and my all time favorite dessert is lava cake with vanilla bean ice cream. The last time I was in Vegas, we actually picked our restaurant based on a search of “lava cake” on yelp. It’s that bad!
