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 oatmeal coconut cookies… but for some reason I’m craving German Chocolate cake. Coconut is the common denominator.

    My favorite desserts are the orange cookies my best friend makes from scratch. That girl is the cookie queen!

    My favourite baked dessert??? One??? That must be a rhetorical question. Anything chocolate or pastry-ish, but especially both combined!

    Fairly new to your blog and loving it. We are a young couple two years into renovating our first house on a tight budget, so much fun, eh?

    Wish I would have known you were coming to Toronto! Oh well, glad you had fun :-)

    I’m just finishing up a year of layer cakes (one a month), but my all time favorite baked good to ever come from my kitchen are salted chocolate brownies. They’re so good Hubster won’t even let me take the leftovers to work. He wants to eat them all!

    How do you choose? I’d say cherry cheesecake has got to be up there. Anything chocolate also has a place in my heart.

    My absolute favorite dessert is yellow cake with homemade chocolate icing. I may be in my 30s, but it always tastes better when my mom makes it.

    I just made a pumpkin cake with butterscotch filling this weekend and it’s pretty amazing! Perfect for this time of year!

    My favorite cake is a classic cheesecake. However, if we are going with baked goods in general, it would 100% my grandmother’s chocolate meringue pie. Yummy!

    CAKE ME! My mom used to make the best chocolate cake dessert when I was a kid. I think she called it Texas cake. It had a warm fudgy, sugary frosting on top. I was soooo yummy. In fact, I think I’ll ask her to make it for me next time I see her! :)

    Cake me! I love any dessert that includes chocolate, but leaves all mint out! I really love the warm cake, cold ice cream combination!

    CAKE ME! Cupcakes are my go-to fave. Vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, spice, lemon, you name it, I love it! I don’t bake very good cupcakes, though. I make some killer chocolate chip cookies, which are a fave in my house!

    CAKE ME BABY!!!!!!

    I love all things chocolate… cake… brownies… cookies, you name it. But I think one of my favorites is this Chocolate & banana pudding pie that my mom found in one of her diabetic dessert books (she’s diabetic). It’s what I make during holidays and birthdays, it’s amazing.

    My mouth just filled with saliva… ;)

    I love all desserts, but pies are my absolute favorite. Especially since they provide easy portion control. (It’s harder to justify going back for a second slice of pie than it is to justify going back for another cookie!)
