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! Lately, I’ve been caught up in the french macaroon craze. It is dangerous because so many places are making them right now.

    CAKE ME! I live around the corner from Brown Betty and their red velvet poundcake cupcakes is my absolute favorite dessert. They are amazing – and I would LOVE the cookbook to learn to DIY!

    CAKE ME! I am dessert fanatic (sugar addiction for sure) and love almost everything. Maraschino Cherry cake is pretty special, though…

    CAKE ME! Before this past weekend, I would have said an ordinary brownie with a scoop of vanilla is my ultimate favorite. But, my life has been changed by a warmed dark chocolate tart that I had in a DC area restaurant. #wherehaveyoubeenallmylife

    CAKE ME!

    I love all kinds of desserts, but when it comes down to it, I’m a sucker for a well-made chocolate cake. Rich, moist, and with a really good chocolate frosting… I can eat a whole cake (and have). If you want to get fancy, just throw in hazelnut or raspberry filling. YUM.

    CAKE ME! My favorites are a tie between Cinnamon Roll Cake (all the warm gooey-ness of a cinnamon roll without all the work) and Double Chocolate Mocha Cake.

    “CAKE ME!” white chocolate cheesecake, flourless chocolate cake, cookies, etc. If it’s sweet, it’s for me.

    CAKE ME! So many desserts to choose from, but I love Red Velvet Cake – chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting in a fabulous color – it’s like the trifeca of desserts…. :-)

    CAKE ME!

    And if I had to pick a sweet dessert, creme brulee is probably my favorite. But I’m weird and not that interested in sweets, I’ll take some garlic bread for dessert any day!

    CAKE ME! I’m going to have to go with a “Gourmet Caramel Bars” recipe I got off allrecipes.com. I was looking for something to take to a church bake sale and searched among the website’s highest rated bar recipes. Well, the site readers were right – they’re amazing!
