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.

    My grandmother makes an amazing chocolate layer cake with buttercream frosting. It’s her signature (among many amazing desserts).

    CAKE ME! My favorite dessert is this really delicious southern 7 layer cake. It is a yellow cake cut into very thin slices with chocolate icing between each layer. I have never been able to make it myself, which makes it that much more special!

    I recently learned how to make the “36 hour cookie”. They are hands down the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had and I am not just saying that because my blood, sweat, and tears went into them :oP.

    Cake decorating is my passion. My favorite dessert is devil’s food cake with vanilla buttercream frosting that has been refrigerated, served with a large glass of whole milk.

    I love traditional white cake and chocolate cake—tied for sure. Not marbled and mixed, for some reason that’s just not the same.

    CAKE ME! I think my all time favorite is either my mom’s homemade strawberry cake, which has been my birthday request every year since I was about 5, or strawberry rhubarb crumble/ pie (as long as it’s not too sweet)

    Don’t know if I can pick an all-time favorite, but right now I can’t stop thinking about my aunt’s cranberry cake recipe. It may not sound that awesome, but it is crazy delicious! I’ll be whipping it up for a party this weekend. Mmmmm…

    I am a sucker for pie of all kinds. My favorite, though, is a coconut cream pie from a local Greek restaurant (go figure) that is out of this freaking world. It will make you smack your mama!
