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! During the holidays I always make Italian Cream cake with cream cheese frosting. It’s so moist, and nutty, and just so so so good. Then the cream cheese frosting brings it over the top.

    Anything chocolate (especially if it’s hot), but I only eat/buy fair trade chocolate, so when I want a something sweet and cannot find fair trade chocolate I like apple pie and other desserts with apples.

    CAKE ME! My favorite baked dessert is DEF. cake, but lately I’ve been obsessing about fresh out of the oven cookies to beat the fall chill. Mmm, mmm. Drooling now…

    CAKE ME!! My mom makes an amazing Carob cake with Almond icing that is to-die-for. She (and my grandpa) are allergic to chocolate so that’s what we got instead and I actually prefer it over chocolate cake any day of the week.

    The answer will always be my grandma’s paper bag apple pie. It’s a requirement at every holiday gathering and my birthday “cake” of choice!

    Cake me! I bake a ton of different things so it’s hard to choose one favorite, but I guess a great favorite go to would be Banana Bread. Add in some chocolate chips to make it even better!

    Cake Me! Favorite dessert is Chocolate Ice Box Cake that my Mom used to make. Gotta look up that recipe – thanks for the reminder. And, such sweet & adorable comments about John. Enjoyed reading that. You are both adorable.

    Cake me! I love all cake but I’m a total sucker for two things- chocolate cake and Little Debbie honey buns. If Little Debbie ever goes down like Hostess *knock on wood* I’d be screwed.

    So hard to decide… at this moment I am going with a homemade brownie sundae with ice cream, bananas and really, really good hot fudge…with a little whipped cream on top.

    I am a serious dessert addict. Seriously, I love anything chocolately and gooey and melty and marshmallowy or ice creamy or whipped creamy…the list goes on!

    CAKE ME!

    I love most homemade/baked desserts but my favorite would be my mom’s chocolate brownies from scratch. She had them made for the five of us kids most days when we’d come home from school and always when a classmate was mean. In fact, to console us, we talked about how much pain the mean person was in…newly divorced parents, whatever and that soon they’d realize it is better for them to be kind…”but in the meantime, you are wearing the brown helmet.” Which really means, “You’ve been sh*t on…so lets go eat a warm brownie.” She was perfect in validating our pain while helping us to be better young people and learn to move past it. When I make those brownies for my own children, I am reminded of her devotion to us.

    Cake Me! I love snack cakes, almost any. Definitely dessert, but you don’t feel bad when you eat a small bit here and there throughout the day!

    I just LOVE sweets! I’d take dessert over “real” food any day. In the spirit of the season, I am LOVING me some pumpkin pie! I’ll be sad when it goes out of season.

    CAKE ME!!! (please!)

    My all-time favorite dessert is a warm chocolate chip cookie and a cold glass of milk. Simple, but oh, so good. Followed shortly by a slice of red velvet cake, of course. Happy Thanksgiving!

    CAKE ME! My absolute favorite baked dessert is carrot cake, the “special” kind with lots of spices, pineapple and golden raisins. You can also pretend it’s healthy thanks to the carrots, right? =D
