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! I would have to say that it is a toss up between chocolate chip cookies and brownies! Either would do at any time, though! Thanks for the chance at the great giveaway.

    CAKE ME!!!! I can eat a cookie any day, any time, but my all time favorite cake would have to be a chocolate layer cake with chocolate frosting with nuts. YUM-O!

    CAKE ME! I think it is hard to come up with my favorite ever. Anything chocolate is good, but I also like gingerbread cookies, croissant, and creme caramel a lot.

    CAKE ME!

    I love just about any baked dessert, but this time of year I crave oatmeal peppermint cookies. Sounds strange, I know, but they’re amazing! Can’t wait to bake some!

    CAKE ME! pretty much anything and everything, alas, which is why I’m heading over to the elliptical trainer in a minute or two. But favorite? Hmmm… really-dark-chocolate brownies with a bit of sherry and coffee to punch up the chocolate flavor.

    Cake me!! So I used to love chocolate chip cookies until recently, I came down with a bug and haven’t eaten them since. My all-time favorite treat would have to be this layered chocolate cake they make at our local Safeway (I know, odd…) but it is amazing and every time I am in the mood for treating myself, the Safeway cake always hits the spot!

    Cake me! Pretty much if it’s full of sugar and baked in the oven I love it. I’m an equal opportunity baked goods eater.

    BAKE ME!

    My favorite baked dessert is peach custard pie. I am a huge fan of custard-anything pie (or pie in general), but peach custard made with local, in season peaches (holla, Virginia!) is ah-may-zing.
