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 could eat my Grandma’s Peanut Butter Blossoms all day. (A PB cookie with the Hershey Kiss on top? Simple, but scary good.)

    How can you pick just one?
    Classic Brownies? Sour Cherry Pie? Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese frosting?
    No I refuse to claim a favorite.

    CAKE ME! By far, my favorite dessert is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate sprinklers wouldn’t hurt either. Are you seeing a theme here? :) I really like chocolate!

    CAKE ME! I can never turn down a warm cookie. Even at fancy restaurants when the dessert options are works of art I always wonder, “Do they have cookies?”

    CAKE ME! Cake/cupcakes are actually my favorite dessert. Yellow cake with buttercream icing. By the way, I just finished making S’mores cake pops. They are delish!

    I’m a total cake fan – we even have a super cute print in our kitchen that simply states: ‘Eat more cake!’. Words to live by!

    I’m gluten free so cakes aren’t always easy to come by, but a simple cupcake cant be beat. Or, as we call them in the UK- Fairy Cakes. We served them at our wedding on a huge 5 foot cake stand – and even had them for breakfast the next day! Yum!

    Sweets are usually not my favorite treat. I’m a meat guy. However, my wife LOVES all things sweet, especially chocolate! This would be a great gift for her : )

    CAKE ME! I absolutely LOVE anything super-dense and chocolatey and fudgy, but when it comes down to it, cheesecake (any kind!) is how I roll.

    Definitely, without question, brownies. And if those brownies have more chocolate in them (whatever form), all the better.

    CAKE ME!!

    Growing up as a first generation American with Hungarian parents, I had some serious exposure to decadent desserts! It’s a toss up between almond crescent cookies, and a thing called a Gerbeaud Szelet (Gerbeaud Slice)- a layered, walnutty, apricotty, chocolate ganache covered goodness that I can eat a platter of if given the chance!

    CAKE ME! I love angel food cake. And devils food cake. And pie. And brownies. And cookies. And there is a reason I will some day have diabetes.

    But if I won I could bake my boyfriend something super awesome for his birthday in February (which also happens to be the next time I see him), so it would be SUPER awesome!

    Every Christmas my Nanny makes lemon sponge cake and chocolate cake, and if you get a piece of each it’s called a combo, it is amazing!!
