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 have a weakness for pastries… there’s something beautiful and delicious about buttery pastry combined with something sweet (chocolate or strawberries or a cream cheese filling; really any of that).

    I’d have to say the only thing on my mind this week is pumpkin and pecan pie…but my favorite “cake” I bake is a flourless chocolate cake with fresh raspberry sauce.

    I love cake and cookies and pies and cobblers and I love to make it all too!! But more importantly, I think me and that chocolate cake on the cover of the cookbook could be BFF’s if given the chance! ;)

    Oh baked goods, how I love thee! How could I pick just one favorite? I’ll go with anything chocolate, still warm from the oven. :-)

    My favorite dessert to eat lately has actually been panna cotta or creme brule – I love things that aren’t too sweet.
    To make – I love baking pies (esp apple) but I don’t attempt to make the pie crust from scratch…I’m just not a baker!

    I love most desserts, but lately I’ve been craving my mom’s lemon squares…oh, they are so good! It was something that she always made and brought to family gatherings when we were kids.

    CAKE ME! Hmm, have I met a dessert I don’t like? Probably. I love cream brulee, chocolate chip cookies, cake….I was just at Whole Foods yesterday browsing the dessert selection. They are so pretty and yummy looking. Seriously, it’s like porn.

    CAKE ME! Sour Cream Raisin Pie from my Gram’s kitchen. I only came to appreciate this awesomeness later in life. How many childhood years I wasted on boring old Apple.
