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.

    Brownies. I adore brownies and consider a sundae made with brownies to be heaven on earth. Bonus if it involves a lot of caramel.

    But brownies all by themselves is good enough for me anyway!

    CAKE ME! And as for an all-time favorite dessert, I just have to go with a warm, gooey, chocolate chip cookie with a tall glass of milk. Can’t go wrong with a classic.

    I am a pie girl, with blueberry pie being my favorite baked kind, and of course eaten with a glass of lemonade.

    I just can’t decide! Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, my Mom’s cream cheese bread she makes every Christmas, Tyler Florence’s Baked Lime Pudding Cake (seriously, google the recipe and make it!), etc. etc.!

    I like just about anything chocolate and freshly baked bread is good too, but I’m a sucker for a good cookie!

      It’s a very sweet name! She picked it a while back (Will can say it and everything). So adorable. When she called in the middle of the night with the whole birth play by play I knew you guys would be chomping at the bit for info today! Haha. Can’t wait for her to spill the beans. It’s a wonderful story. What a lucky little guy.

    Please CAKE ME! Cupcakes of any kind are my weakness. I just can’t resist the compact little treat, whatever flavor it may be.

    My mom made this amazing chocolate cake that had sour cream in it. It was probably the most fattening thing ever but it also made it so moist it was like eating a lava cake in a slice form. Deathly good.

    CAKE ME! I’m a sucker for Martha’s fudge-y brownies, they are amazing (but I have to have some homemade whipped cream with them). I always make them for dessert when we have people over or when we’re invited to someone’s house.
