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.

    Carrot cake with tons of cream cheese frosting. If I could eat the Cheesecake Factory carrot cake cheesecake every day, I would!

    I’m all about the creamy perfection from a perfectly baked cheesecake. mmmmm… a pumpkin cheesebake would be right on the money right now!

    I’m a little uncertain whether I prefer the baked perfection of a chocolate chip cookie or the raw cookie dough.

    My all time favorite is warm individually made chocolate lava cake with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. It’s something I love getting in restaurants because I can’t imagine how I’d make it. I know, I’m sure there’s a way and it’s probably not that difficult – but don’t tell me because that might take some of the magic out of it. :)

    I love to bake. from the more adventurous (and sometimes failed, like that creme brulee that wasn’t quite right) to the go-to chocolate chip cookies that the fiance likes to take in his lunch!

    CAKE ME – my favorite dessert isn’t grandmother’s rhubarb pie. She never used a recipe but every time she made it, perfection was achieved. To me, rhubarb is summer evenings catching fireflies sitting on my grandparent’s cooling porch.

    CAKE ME! I have to admit, I’ve yet to meet a dessert that I don’t love but I’d have to say that my all time favorite is a triple chocolate kahlua cake that in my family is considered “my birthday cake”. It’s sooo good with a tall glass of milk – YUM!

    CAKE ME! Pretty much anything involving chocolate is good for me, but warm chocolate chip cookies steal my heart! P.S. The photog who did all of the photos for that book is an amazing, amazing lady!
