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 all-time favorite dessert is the red and green vanilla pressed cookies that my mom and I always make around the holidays. It’s not that they’re the best tasting treat I’ve ever had, but it’s a family tradition that I wouldn’t trade for anything!

    CAKE ME!!! Oh, so hard to pick a favorite, but at the moment it’s a tie between peanut butter bars and carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!

    My mom doesn’t bake very much, but she does have one specialty. It’s a chocolate cake (from scratch). After the batter is in the pan, you pour sugar cocoa water over it and the magic happens. After a bit of time in the oven, out come a chocolate cake with hot fudge pudding under the bottom. TO DIE FOR.

    My favorite cake is something I make only once a year. It’s the pear-cranberry-ginger cake with cream cheese frosting from the cookbook “500 Cakes.” It’s so buttery, moist, and perfectly sweet (with a hint of tang from the cranberries). I NEVER have leftovers.

    Anything chocolate is good to me!!! I especially love brownies right out of the oven with a big glass of milk.

    CAKE ME! Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting is most certainly at the top of my list! Peanut butter cookies are a close second :)
