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 is definitely Christmas sugar cookies with buttercream frosting. I think the fact that we usually only have them once a year makes them so much more delicious!

    My favorite baked dessert is my chocolate chip cookies. They’re crunchy, not soft, and everyone loves them (I think). I use Crisco, not butter, so they’re low-cal. jk

    CAKE ME! Ah! Soooo many baked desserts to choose from. I must say that I’m a sucker for good creme brulee but it’s hard for me to turn down most cookies too!

    My all-time favorite baked good is my mama’s completely-from-scratch apple pie, that I’ve been trying to replicate for years, just never quite as successfully.

    Anything chocolate! I have no creative outlet in many ways in my life (hence why I pirate so many brillant ideas from you guys!) but I can bake! I’m all over this one…

    My all time favorite is a layered Coconut Cream Cake, covered in fresh shredded coconut! Now I’m hungry for cake.

    I’m a cupcake fanatic!! A good old chocolate with a cream cheese frosting is on the top of my list, but a salted caramel has been inching it’s way up the list!

    My favorite cake would have to be a white cake with some chocolate on top. A carrot cake is a very close second!
