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!

    Now you’re speaking my language! :) I love to bake and my all time favorite cake to bake is the apple cider bundt cake from The Cake Mix Doctor Returns. So delish and relatively easy for how good it is. My husbands cousin asks specifically for this cake at every holiday gathering, and I gladly oblige!

    Cake me! In Paris, I had this fried crepe stuffed with chocolate cream that you dipped in a carmel/coffee flavored dipping sauce. It was amazing and I think about it all the time.

    CAKE ME! I make a pretty mean pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese frosting. It super yummy but isn’t too sweet. Sadly, my ability to make it depends on the availability of pumpkin puree, which is only available around here during the fall & winter. :(

    CAKE ME! Although I am definitely a cookie kinda girl but will take anything sweet in a pinch! Was bummed I was in Chicago during the Minneapolis book signing and leaving Chicago for Minneapolis as you guys got in for the Chicago book signing. Love the book though…lots of fun ideas!

    CAKE ME! I adore brownies and basically anything with peanut butter. I had a brownie with peanut butter icing on it the other day and it was life changing. I’m a high school cooking (nutrition) teacher and love to cook and also write a little blog about my cooking adventures (www.cookingwithmodesty.blogspot.ca). Thank you for always fighting for us Canadians to be apart of the giveaways.I look forward to reading your blog everyday!

    I love a recipe I found in Gourmet for chocolate cookies that contain Sambuca and walnuts. They’re always a hit.

    I just so happen to make an amazing chocolate brownie cake which yes, is as decadent as it sounds! But, I myself am a fruit pie kind of gal! It doesn’t matter what kind of fruit as long as it’s wrapped in a warm, flaky, buttery crust!

    Cake me! I found this Martha recipe for pumpkin cookies with brown butter icing. The cookie is so delicious and cake-like and the brown butter icing is JUST sweet enough and a bit unexpected. DELICIOUS!!!

    CAKE ME! I have a huge sweet tooth so there are tons of dessert staples for me! But you can’t go wrong with classics like warm chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips, and warm fudge brownie with ice cream.

    CAKE ME! I looooove chocolate lava cake. The cake my family makes for birthdays (boxed mix but with delicious homemade frosting) is a close second.

    CAKE ME! I look forward to winter all year just because that means it’s finally time for Girl Scout Cookies. I can’t get enough. No seriously, I’ve already bought two cases this year!
