***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.

- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: This cookbook giveaway is open to The United States & Canada (anyone in the US or Canada is eligible to win the cookbook, although the gift card is only valid in the states).

Mmm, favorite is a toss up between my mom’s recipe for pumpkin bread and Smitten Kitchen’s spiced applesauce cake.
Although I did make (chocolate) mint julep cupcakes last night and they were DELICIOUS.
Betsy says
cake me! my fave is creme brulee (kind of baked…)
Dominique says
CAKE ME!
There’s no way I could every really narrow it down, but because I love chocolate so much:
chocolate layer cake — deep, rich, dark chocolate. Sometimes I mix it up … hazelnut liqueur, or chocolate ganache, or a vanilla frosting surprise on one of the layers.
Another favorite: pie. Of any kind. Chocolate pie = good. Cherry pie = good. Lemon meringue = good. Apple caramel = good.
Catherine Domanska says
CAKE ME! Although, I’m a pie girl, die hard. Strawberry rhubarb or mince if we’re gonna get specific – no, I am not 85 yrs old, but yes, my granny loves the same ones.
Hadley says
This time of year, with holidays coming up, a new cookbook and some lovely kitchen tools would be wonderful treats!

My mom makes the most fantastic buttercream frosting, which goes perfectly on her chocolate cake. When we were kids, she always made our birthday cakes and would put dollops of frosting on the corners of the cake board for us to eat with our fingers!

Before last week, I would have said lemon bars, hands down. BUT, then I discovered Archer Farms Espresso Chip ice cream. I know this sounds crazy, but you need to go to Target and buy some right. now. It will CHANGE your life, and for just $3.99!! :-D
Angela A says
Cake me!! I die for peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream!

I can’t get enough tiramisu. When I lived in Italy for a semester in college, I was fortunate enough to have homemade tiramisu and have been obsessed ever since. I’ve never been able to replicate it either!

Emily H. says
CAKE ME!
There is a bakery in Tacoma, Corina Bakery. Seriously so good, they make all these fancy cakes, but when they first opened they had simpler cakes. I fell in love with their chocolate with white butter cream and now get it for every occasion that calls for a cake. Thinking about naming a child Corina!
p.s. if you guys explore Tacoma while you are here, you should consider visiting, worth the trip.
Carly says
CAKE ME!!! My weakness is red velvet ANYTHING!
Cathy says
CAKE ME! My favorite has to be chewy gooey chocolate chip cookies. mMmMMm…
