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.

    I love a vanilla bean cupcake with a vanilla cream cheese buttercream frosting! It is perfection! A close second are the oatmeal chocolate chips I am currently baking…and eating!

    Every year at Thanksgiving, my grandmother made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. It was awesome. When she passed away, we went to my aunts house after the funeral and I brought the “secret recipe” cake. My cousins were thrilled that she had given someone the secret recipe. One day she told me in whisper “Its Better Crocker from a box and pre-made frosting” : ) She was a career woman back when lots of women were not and didn’t have time to bake from scratch she told me ; )

    Cake Me! Favorite dessert?! Where to begin?! It’d have to be an almond cake I learned how to make in French class in high school!

    cake me! I loooove chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. My grandma always made this for our birthdays and it was such a treat. I try to replicate it but never tastes quite the same as when she made it.

    I’m a cupcake girl through and through. Though I recently discovered the warm toffee pudding at a restaurant in Salem, MA and think it may be the best dessert I’ve ever had. Not pudding in the traditional sense in the U.S., it’s a small cake surrounded by warm toffee goodness so you meld the two together with each bite. A-ma-zing.

    My favorite cake is “Love Goddess Cake” aka a chocolate cake with chili pepper in it, topped with cream cheese icing. One of my aunts made it for me several years ago, before she passed away – I love to bake it in honor of her.

    I’m a desert-a-holic! I love red velvet anything and cake pops…such a good invention! I love ice cream too! Yum! It’s easier for me to say the one desert I don’t like…pie! I know I’m a weirdo and pretty much the only person ever who doesn’t like it but I just don’t. Love you guys!!

    My favorite is carrot cake! Although those choco chip cookies sound good and I just had a black and white and a choco layer cake is sure yummy… sigh.

    CAKE ME!!! I’m not a big chocolate fan so my favorite of all time would be something like a lemon layer cake or lemon cream torte. Delish!

    Cake me cake me, please! I’ve got an incredible sweet-tooth and love all baked desserts, but I’m a true sucker for chocolate and could eat it all day long (although my tummy says otherwise). But cheesecake, yumm! And apple pie, yumm! And I know an incredibly easy and delicious dades-pudding, with some ice cream, double yumm!
