***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.
- PRIZE: The Brown Betty Cookbook and $100 towards Terrain
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “CAKE ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what’s your all time favorite baked dessert? Are you a sucker for a chocolate layer cake? Or could you eat warm chocolate chip cookies ’til your stomach bursts? Maybe you’re dying to stuff a cupcake in your face right about now?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, November 21st at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: This cookbook giveaway is open to The United States & Canada (anyone in the US or Canada is eligible to win the cookbook, although the gift card is only valid in the states).
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Katelyn Hickman says
CAKE ME!!! My all time favorite dessert is Julia Child’s Reina de Saba (Queen of Sheba) chocolate cake. It is heavenly and decadent and completely worth the calories. I’ll be making it for my husband for our first Thanksgiving together as a family, and he has no idea the treat that is in store for him!
Happy Thanksgiving Petersiks!
Rachael says
CAKE ME! I love all things sweet, but my favorite ever (cliche alert!) would have to be my wedding cake. My aunt makes the best chocolate cake in the world, and combined with my grandma’s raspberry filling…mmmmm! My husband’s groom’s cake was a carrot sheet cake, also made by my aunt, but no one actually got to eat any, as my aunt and uncle’s cat decided it was for him and helped himself to a piece right in the middle.

Susan VB says
CAKE ME!
I love me a good old fashioned chocolate chip cookie. Or chocolate chunk. Or peanut butter chocolate chunk. Or peanut butter chocolate chip M&M…. You get the picture.
Jenny says
Cake me! Pie. Absolutely pie. I don’t really care for super sweet stuff, so a nice sweet/tart cherry or berry pie with flaky crust will always be my fave.

Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Pudding – Delicious!
Jennie says
CAKE ME!
I used to think that it was a flourless chocolate cake, but after my latest trip, I had a chocolate soup with black pepper ice cream that was TO. DIE. FOR. I am dreaming of it–it was like a chocolate lava cake with just a tiny bit of cake and a whole lot of lava.

Liz says
“CAKE ME!” My mother makes the best pecan pie using Grandma’s recipe. It was my birthday cake every year, which drove my brother and sister crazy considering we had just had it for Thanksgiving and Christmas (I’m a January baby)! Perhaps that was half the fun!
