***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).

My mom used to make this divine strawberry cake with pudding icing. I could eat half a 9×12 in one sitting, if allowed. My favorite baked treat EVER.
Marie E. says
CAKE ME!
I am a sucker for a good fresh-out-of the oven pecan pie (of course with a scoop of Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream!) Reminds me of Texas- where I was born & raised.

I would say hands down my favorite dessert is made by one our our family friends: chocolate cake with caramel icing and crumbled heath bar on top. So. Good.
So excited to see a Philly company represented!! I used to live down the street from Brown Betty and they have the most delicious almond cupcakes with chocolate frosting!

Kristin says
Cake me!
I’m crazy about grape pie. I have also had major pregnancy cravings for croissants recently. Yum.
Donna Barkley says
CAKE ME!
I love homemade pound cake, no icing. The flavors of real butter, real sugar, flour and whatever else goes into one come together in such a way, it will make you slap your mama. A slice of pound cake and a good cup of coffee makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
Melissa says
CAKE ME!
I have to say I can never ever decide between chocolate cake with champagne filling or pumpkin tiramisu! Yum!

CAKE ME!
I know they are super trendy and overplayed right now but I can never get sick of cupcakes, especially chocolate ones. There is just something so happy about delicious cake in a cute and convenient hand-sized form.

Anna Kristina says
CAKE ME! I fell in love with Boston Cream Pie after we moved to Boston and tried the original at the Parker House Hotel. But I’m also a sucker for dark chocolate cake with fudge frosting and chocolate croissants and cheesecake… so pretty much anything that involves dark chocolate and/or cream!
Dione Butler says
Cake Me! My favorite is probably spice cake with cream cheese frosting, but really anything with cream cheese frosting makes my day.
Liza says
CAKE ME!
My current favorite in the baked goods department would have to be pumpkin snickerdoodles…SO yummy!!
Karena Del Sarto says
Cake Me! Anything with pumpkin is my favorite.
Carrie O says
CAKE ME!
Can I just say I absolutely love, love, love desserts to begin with but to pick one….I’ll go with cheesecake! I’ve been dying to bake my own. Thanksgiving is primetime, right?
Amber Hardiman says
Cake me! Im a simple brownies girl.
Sharon says
CAKE ME! I love all cakes so I can’t really pick a favorite. That’s kind of like asking which of my children I love more than the other. I love all cakes (and my kids) equally. Although, I’m not a huge fan of frosting. Where frosting is concerned, less is best. I really hope I win. I have a “thing” for cake stands.
Rachel says
Cake Me!
All time favorite and actually used as my wedding pie (all pies no cakes at our big day) my step-mother’s coconut cream pie. It is absolutely divine!
Michelle says
Cake Me!
If I can only pick one baked dessert, I guess it would be cheesecake. That’s the only kind of cake I request for my birthday each year.
LisaBinAR says
Cake Me!
I love baked goods. My favorite dessert is warm chocolate brownies. Oh myyy myyy myyy, totally decadent!
Heidi says
CAKE ME!
I am a peanut butter and chocolate kind of gal, but my all time favorite dessert is peanut butter pie. Okay, fine. I may or may not put a layer of chocolate on the top of the pie crust so there is chocolate in it too.

“CAKE ME!”
The Cottage in Hermann, MO has a dessert they call Katie’s Caramel Cake. It’s fan. Freaking. Tastic. Even though I have the cookbook at home I have not had good luck reproducing it so my home made go-to is Beatty’s Chocolate Cake from Barefoot Contessa on FoodTV. It’s super easy and high on the chocolate scale.
katryna atkins says
cake me!
I love warm fruit filled things…cobblers, turnovers, etc
Summer says
CAKE ME!!! I love pretty much anything with sugar…it’s a problem.
