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! Woohoo a Canadian giveaway :)
    My favourite baked good would have to be brownies…or chocolate chip cookies…or even better, a hybrid of the two!

    I love a good apple pie or crisp right out of the oven topped with some vanilla ice cream! :)
    PS. So excited to read your book (just waiting for my birthday to come along).

    Chocolate chip cookies are the best. I keep hoping to duplicate the cookies my boss used to make. Even though I have his recipe, mine aren’t the same.

    Trader Joe’s Chocolate Croissants are the go-to special treat in our household but we don’t discriminate against anything containing chocolate.

    Cake me! My favorite is my BFF’s delish cupcakes. I might have eaten a batch of her frosting, straight up, for more than one of my birthdays. There’s no shame in that, right?

    CAKE ME! My favorite is a layered chocolate cake, with both ganache and mousse! But I have a terrible sweet tooth so I love baking anything!

    My mom’s yellow cake with chocolate icing. The good, thick icing that you have to chew, not the whipped stuff the grocery stores use!

    Cake me please!!! I love baking. The best thing I’ve made so far is a key lime cupcake with a thin graham cracker crust bottom then vanilla cake with a lime curd center, topped with whipped cream frosting. My favorite baked good to eat is warm apple cobbler a la mode.

    Can’t wait to meet you guys on your Charlotte tour stop. I’m itching to buy your book but trying to wait until your tour date so I can support whatever shop is hosting you. Happy Thanksgiving all!

    Not sure if this counts because the final assembly is not baked but parts of it are, I love Millefeuille and a close second would be lemon meringue pie.

    CAKE ME!!!:):)
    Pie is my all time favorite!!! Specifically blackberry pie.
    My grandmother was an amazing cook and baker and every Thanksgiving I went over to her house to bake the pies for dinner. It was just she and I in the kitchen baking- I love the memories that flood back each time I bite into a warm yummy pie:):)

    French Silk Chocolate Pie (is that baked though? I have no idea…), although if you look at my pinterest board you would think it was Apple Pie!
