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.

    I can’t say no to pumpkin whoopie pies. I typically don’t even like pumpkin desserts, but I cannot say no to them!

    CAKE ME! All time favorite dessert….definitely depends on the time of year. Here’s a few though: apple crisp, ICE CREAM (mostly oreo blizzards!)and anything chocolate (brownies, cakes, cupcakes).

    Favorite? You mean I can’t love them all? I guess if I reeealy have to choose I’d go with pumpkin pie. I always bake an extra just for me :)

    I am a cheesecake lover but I have never made one. The other day I made a brown butter caramel-apple upside down cake that was delish! Just no pie for me. ALSO.. I live about 2 miles from Terrain and I love it there. If you are EVER in the area you must go to this place. Its an outdoor garden center, house decor, cafe, and restaurant all in one!

    CAKE ME! For my husband’s birthday this year I made homemade Whoopie pies! I couldn’t believe how well they turned out, but what’s not to love about giant chocolatey cookies with yummy cream in the middle, right? But then again, I haven’t met any chocolate dessert that I didn’t like. :)

    I generally love a dark chocolate cake, but this time of year, I can’t help but favor pumpkin pie. Happy Thanksgiving!

    CAKE ME! I am a sucker for the sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting I make every year for Christmas. Also fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and red velvet cake, of course!

    Cake me! My wife makes the best. Chocolate. Chip. Cookies. Ever. She got the recipe from a sweet & salty cookbook and sprinkles fleur de sel over the cookies when they’re done. We keep frozen cookie dough on hand for whenever a craving strikes.

    Anything chocolate, but in particular the best is my family’s Ski Cake recipe, which has just the right amount of chocolate and is not overly sweet. But if all you offered me was something baked, that would be o.k. too!
