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 think a nice dense, moist chocolate cake with some raspberry puree and chocolate ganache would be right up my alley… actually, that’s what I made the last 2 ties I baked! Maybe I should get outside of my baking rut… what a great opportunity!!

    My favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough cheese cake. If you like cookie dough you would love this. I make this quite a bit but it definitely is not good for you sugar level :)

    CAKE ME! My mom makes an amazing caramel brownie every year around Christmas – mostly for my brother located across the country in San Diego. For me she’ll make nut-less fudge, I haven’t tasted a fudge that can beat my mommas.

    I absolutely love baklava – but I can’t bake to save my life, so I won’t take my chances on ruining such an pretty & delicious treat!

    CAKE ME! I love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies but please don’t put them in the oven. I like them best straight out of the mixing bowl. Does that still count as a baked dessert?

    Banana pudding! My mother’s was the BEST, but she died a year and a half ago. She cooked without recipes, but I got her to show me just before she died. When I tried it, it wasn’t perfect, but then I got a old-timey recipe from a friend and now it’s almost indistinguishable from my mother’s. I’m gonna have to make it now….!

    Cake me! I’ll eat anything chocolate, in these dessert-deprived days because my husband doesn’t like sweets and we’re always sorely undersupplied at home. Thank you!
