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.

    My favorite dessert is always brownies. Just the good ole’ box kind. I love the batter, I love them baked. I’ll eat them on a plane or in a train. I love brownies, brownie girl I am.

    Not to toot my own horn, but I make a frickin’ fantastic almond cream cheese pound cake! And it just gets better over a few days of sitting under a dome. Awesome for breakfast or dessert. YUM!

    CAKE ME! My fav. desserts are a tie between Georgetown Cupcakes coconut cupcakes (tons of coconut in the cake with butter-cream frosting topped with more coconut!) and the carrot cake with vanilla ice cream (all homemade!) at Founding Farmers in downtown D.C.- both were “staples” in college lol.

    CAKE ME! My all-time favorite baked desert would have to be a pecan pie bar I had when I was 13. Haven’t found it again since, but BOY, was that yummy! Also, chocolate! :)

    CAKE ME! I go nuts for a good homemade cinnamon roll, with lots of walnuts, sugar and cinnamon on the inside. Every holiday I bake this with my mom and try not to eat the entire batch :-)

    I love a good layer cake. Not necessarily all chocolate although that can be good. Just as long as the cake is moist and delicious and the frosting is sweet and creamy I’m probably a fan!

    “CAKE ME!” My sweet and wonderful grandmother’s French Coconut Pie. She always knew this was my favorite growing up, so she’s always make sure to make two every time she baked one and she’d send me home with the second pie all to my self. I love that woman!

    CAKE ME! I’m going to go with a yellow butter cake with chocolate frosting. Old-fashioned and a little boring, just like me. Happy Thanksgiving!
