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!

    Ahhh…I love cake! I put myself through college working at a cake supply store – I’m a HUGE chocolate lover…but for some reason my favorite cake is white cake with white icing. Go figure. But if I can’t have cake I go for anything chocolate – cookies, brownies, ice cream. I love it all! :)

    I love your book tour posts – please let me know if you make it to Denver…otherwise I’ll have to live vicariously through your blog :)

    The best part about this time of year is the desserts: Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Bread, Applesauce Spice Cake, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Apple Pecan cobbler, Spice Cake, Pumpkin Cake, Apple Fritters, etc. (and these are just the ones that I make)

    CAKE Me!!! But really, PIE ME! My favorite is tart cherry pie with a sugared lattice crust and a little a la mode action.

    I am a cupcake fiend! They can be made out of so much stuff and taste so different, and they are portion sized which is handy!

    YAY

    My moms peach cobbler. It’s SO easy (no stirring or mixing? Bonus!) and no mater where I take it, there’s never enough and I always end up giving out the recipe. And this preggo has been trying to avoid making it since that test turned positive! Lol

    CAKE ME! Dessert isn’t dessert unless it includes chocolate. I love german chocolate cake, gooey chocolate chip cookies, chocolate pudding, chocolate cupcakes – anything. Thanks for hosting such awesome giveaways!

    CAKE ME! Apple brown betty! The old fashioned dessert hearkens me back to days spent in my grandmother’s kitchen, watching her hands shine with shortening as she baked apple brown betty, pies, and cookies for her grandchildren.

    Cake me!!! It’s awfully hard to choose a favorite, but cheesecake marbled brownies are pretty high at the top of the list… :)

    My all time favorite baked dessert is anything chocolate. I do not discriminate. Unless it has nuts. I discriminate against nuts.

    I love creme brulee, but I also just finished making a wedding cake for a good friend, so I have a special affinity for that cake now too.
