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! Oh my I don’t know if I could pick a favorite dessert. Probably something with chocolate… but really anything with sugar is my favorite!

    “CAKE ME!” One of the best cakes I have ever had, was made made by my late sister law. She made a homemade Red Velvet Cake with the best white fluffy frosting, between thin layers of cake. YUM!!!

    I’m a sucker for a good brown butter cookie. It can have spices, or it can have bacon and chocolate chips (if you haven’t tried a bacon chocolate chip cookie, you are missing out), or it can have toffee… if it has brown butter I will be the happiest camper.

    I love to bake and make something classic with a new and unexpected twist. If I had to pick out one dessert that I love to snack on it would have to be a good old fashioned brownie hot out of the oven, maybe even topped with some vanilla bean ice cream and a raspberry sauce! Oh yumm, now I want one!

    My favorite dessert are Date Nut Pinwheel cookies, made from my late grandmother’s recipe. The flavor plus the nostalgia just do it for me. :)

    I love to bake. One of my favorites is from the Baked Explorations cookbook: salted caramel brownies. There is a layer of salted caramel between two brownie layers and then there’s more on the top. They’re super gooey, rich, and delicious!

    Definitely my homemade carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.

    I’m totally in the spirit of Thanksgiving and have been swooning over PUMPKIN PIE!!! That’s right, I just cant get enough of the deliciousness that comes in a slice piled high with whip cream.
