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! Although I’m a serious sweets gal, I think I’d have to go with any type of freshly baked cookies…I think the fact that you feel less guilty about having several cookies right out of the over rather than several slices of cake/pie/cupcakes may have something to do with it?? :)

    My favourite cake is a nice cheesecake :) Or a carrot cake… do I have to choose just one? If it’s cookies, LOVE oatmeal raisin! Craving one actually :)

    Warm chocolate chip cookies all the way. My husband knows to pick up a new package of chocolate chips every time he’s at the grocery store!

    I would definitely say that chocolate cheesecake with raspberries would have to be it…and out of all the recipes i’ve tried i’m too scared to make that one and mess it up!

    Growing up my grandma would make these amazing apricot tarts. She passed the recipe down to me, and they’re still a favorite for my husband and I.

    My dad’s apple pie. According to my family tradition, this pie is best served for breakfast. What a way to start the day!

    All time fave dessert would have to be dessert crepes stuffed with fresh strawberries and blueberries and creme anglaise. A little bit of dark chocolate drizzled on top with icing sugar dusting makes it to die for!

    But I also love Tres Leches cake, and triple chocolate fudge cake I make every year for our anniversary.

    My favorite dessert? That’s like asking me to count the stars. Way too hard of a task. I guess I would say, if I have to, that my favorite dessert would be these chocolate crinkle cookies that only my grandma could make that special way…

    And omg…Terrain…I love Terrain. My fingers are quadruple crossed.

    (Next time you should ask peeps what they are reading. That would be interesting to get some recommendations!)

    I love all baked goods! Cookies, cakes, pies, donuts, muffins! Basically anything with sugar, bread, and butter!

    CAKE ME! There is a decadent carrot cake recipe from The Commissary Cookbook (also a Philadelphia legend)that my husband begs me to make for his birthday. It is soooo good and I have to restrain myself from making it more often…cake, anyone?

    Cake me! My favorite baked treat would probably be some sort of combination of mint and chocolate… but I’m not picky about desserts, I’ll eat them all. :)

    CAKE ME! I love a good carrot cake for favorite dessert, I just wish my husband did too, but he’s a sucker for chocolate!

    Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is my downfall. Warm or straight from the fridge – doesn’t matter. I die.
