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! I flippin love Terrain! And since it’s so expensive, a $100 gift card would be so much appreciated! I’m a sweet tooth, so picking one dessert is too difficult. I would say it’s a tie between the following: Toscanini’s burnt caramel ice cream (www.tosci.com), VIA’s crepe cake ( http://www.viaitaliantable.com), and a classic homemade yellow cake with chocolate frosting.

    CAKE ME! I love my mom’s leftover chocolate cake, frozen, straight from the freezer. Nothing like frozen buttercream…

    CAKE ME!

    I can’t narrow it down. I’m a cake wh*re. Yes, you read that right. It’s the only dessert that breaks through my dessert-resistant facade and renders me a quivering supplicant. But if the screws were really put to me, I’d have to say good ol’ fashioned yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I spent my childhood baking them when my parents would go out for the evening and entrust me to care for my brother while mixing batter and using the grown-up oven – at the whopping age of 10. But their gamble paid off. I grew up to be a chef, food writer and food stylist, and luckily, I didn’t burn their house down.

    CAKE ME! My favorite cake EVER is a chocolate doberge cake from Gambinos bakery in New Orleans. It’s like 7 layers of heaven. We get it every Christmas Eve for Jesus’ birthday.

    Cake Me!!! I’ve been trying to get more into baking these days and my boyfriend can’t stop requesting bacon-bourbon-peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies (I swear they’re WAY easier than it sounds!). The batch I made last night was my best yet and I can’t stop eating them.

    cake me! i am a sucker for oatmeal carmelitas. i had one, once, made by my friend’s grandmother. a few months later i had the recipe and it’s all gone down hill since. the recipe calls for 64 caramels, a bag of chocolate chips, 2 sticks of butter and all kinds of nuts. delish! – in a once-a-year-or-else-i’ll-die kinda way ;)
