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 to bake but my favorite are extravagant cupcakes with a fluffy buttercream icing! Super simple, most delicious! =)

    CAKE ME! I love a recipe my mom has made for years that is made from sliced apples, and folded into a pound cake and baked in a bundt pan. It’s mostly sweet, but the top of the cake is the best with baked apples, baked down and carmelized. Every time she’d make that cake, my sister and I would sneak into the kitchen where it was cooling to peel off the cooked apples.

    Sucre a la creme (literally translated as creamed sugar, a French Canadian version of fudge)is by far my favorite. As a kid, we only had it around the holidays, and now that I’m the one making it, I still reserve it for that special time.

    CAKE ME!! I would take a Marble Cake with Chocolate Icing, it’s been my birthday request for my whole life. Although, a favorite quick little sweet would have to be some Ukrop’s bakery rainbow cookies! Brings back memories of when I was 5 and got free ones from the bakery!

    My current favorite cake are cupCAKES by Sugar Bliss in Chicago! During the summer they have a key lime one that is to die for, and in the fall they have a s’mores one that melts in your mouth. DELICIOUS…and now I have a major craving :)

    CAKE ME! But please don’t make me pick a favorite baked good. Maybe mint brownies because I’m ready for Christmas? Or my mom’s pumpkin pie (can’t wait until Thursday!!).

    Cake me! The recipe for brownies in My Father’s Daughter cookbook! My intolerance to eggs really limits my options but means I enjoy the sweets that much more when I get them.

    Cake me! My absolute favorite dessert is Cook’s Illustrated Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake. It’s time consuming, but fun, to make and is a beautiful alternative to the traditional flour cake for birthdays. I’ve made it for some of our most favorite people for birthdays, and it’s totally decadent and fitting of special occasions. But our easy weeknight dessert in a pinch is chocolate stout cake, a chocolate bread pudding with a stout beer added… fabulous, and total comfort food.

    Cake Me!! I can’t resist chocolate, especially a chocolate lava cake. I do love to bake, though, and my most recent favorite baking adventure was creme brulee- so much fun using the torch!
