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.

    I love anything that I don’t have to bake! It is just not my favorite thing to do! Maybe I will like it better if I win this contest. :)

    Cake me! My favorite baked dessert (and the thing I’m most excited about eating on Thursday) is my aunt’s pudding cake. It’s a sponge cake with pudding/custardy filling and frosting. So. Good.

    I’m kind of obsessed with coconut macaroons right now. And may or may not have eaten half of the batch I made for my dad’s birthday.

    While I love cake, my favorite baked goods are my Mom’s chocolate chip cookies. She somehow always manages to make them fluffy and chewy.

    CAKE ME!! I love the mango mousse or fruit cocktail cakes in the Chinese bakeries. Actually I love most baked stuff as long as it is not too rich. And i can eat chocolate cookies any time…have a feeling my baby girl takes after me.

    The question is, what dessert *don’t* I like? I have to admit, that my favorite is probably that totally cliche and over-done chocolate lava cake. But what can I say, cake + brownie (+some ice cream) is just about the best dessert ever.

    My husband makes amazing pound cakes. (They’re so good that people often suggest that he sells them!) My favorite is his Oreo pound cake.
