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.

    Oh, I can be tempted with ANY dessert. I have a bit of a sweet tooth! But as of late, it’s been an old favorite…. a glazed donut with a tall glass of apple cider :)

    Tiramisu. The Olive Garden used to be my favorite restaurant in the world, solely because I could count on Tiramisu for dessert!

    CAKE ME! The fudge cake my grandmother’s neighbor used to bake and bring over. (How super-nice is baking for your neighbors just because?) She gave my cousin the recipe and it’s gotten passed around the family, but it’s not quite the same.

    This question is too hard, Carrot cake ( because no one else in the house will eat it and I don’t have to share :)
    or Peanut Butter Pie!!!!! This is made for big spoons and lots of sharing.

    If it’s made with chocolate it’s my favorite then add a little scoop of vanilla ice cream and viola PERFECTION!

    I have yet to meet ANY kind of confection I didn’t like (sadly for that extra 10lbs of sugar weight I carry). I just tell my hubby that this is what makes me so sweet!

    CAKE ME! I think my favorite baked dessert would have to be cookies… but don’t ask me to choose which kind! I love that there are so many variations of cookies.

    CAKE ME! I love a 2 layer white cake with chocolate icing and sliced bananas in between the layers! My Grandma’s specialty :)

    I love any type of warm dessert. My mom makes an amazing apple spice cake, and topped with whipped cream, it is to die for!

    For me it’s a dead tie between homemade chocolate chip cookies (made in someone else’s home because mine always melt) and brownies (which I can make myself — and they are divine!).
