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 am always up for a cupcake. One of my favs is from a great bakery by my old place in Chicago- Sweet Mandy B’s. They have a ton of great options but I always go back to the lemon cupcake! Yum!!!

    I’m basically in lurv with mother’s pecan pie. No other imitation will do. And naturally, I can’t even come close to making it like she does.

    Oh, so many delicious choices! But my favorite is my family recipe for Red Velvet Cake, which we’ve always called Flame cake. It has the lightest, fluffiest icing ever, it’s so stinking delicious!

    CAKE ME! I love this cake my husband makes: double chocolate butter cake with raspberry mousse filling. We both love to cook.

    My all-time fav dessert is Red Velvet Cake. I’ve had it every year for my birthday since I turned one year old. When my daughter turned one last January, I was excited to continue the tradition with her! Of course, she smeared it all over her face and said, “Cake Me!” Okay, so maybe I am trying to be a little too creative, but she did love it :-)

    A local eatery makes a cake called “Mrs. Edna’s Lemon Cake” it’s seriously the best hunk of anything I have ever put in my mouth. I also bake and decorate cakes in my spare time I would love some new recipes and that ooh la la bakeware.

    CAKE ME! I think my favorite baked good is something with fruit like pie or cobbler. It tastes really good when it’s warm and with ice cream. I also tend to put the hurt on cookies…to where I have to ask the boyfriend not to keep them in the house. :)

    Desserts are my favorite, so it’s super hard to narrow it down to one. Since this isn’t a “if you could only eat one for the rest of your life” sort of thing, I’ll go with a reese’s peanut butter cake cheesecake (or something of that amazingness) from the Cheesecake Factory. Basically there’s cheesecake, chocolate cake, peanut butter cups and more good stuff I can’t even remember now. SO GOOD! now I’m hungry!

    CAKE ME… chocolate chip cookies. Add a scoop of peanut butter ice cream and a dollop of homemade whipped cream, and wow!

    CAKE ME! setting aside my chocolate obsession, i’d say one of my all time faves is creme brulee. if only i could reapply the crunchy sugar topping every so often as i’m eating it… it’s always gone too soon.

    CAKE ME! It is a toss up between bread pudding and cinnamon rolls. Course there is always pumpkin pie. I could eat that everyday.

    I am amazed at how many people can pick just one baked good as their fave. I have about 12. Sweet tooth aside, Terrain is an amazing store and I would love some of their goodies.

    I love everything chocolate, but my current favorite is Bakerella’s chocolate and peanutbutter cupcakes with Reeses and chocolate ganache.

    CAKE ME! I’ve never met a fresh chocolate chip cookie I didn’t like. The food service at work makes amazing ones that are soft in the middle and crispy on the edges…and as big as my outstretched hand. Win!
