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! Just about anything that my mom bakes is to die for, but her pies are ah-mazing. Chocolate meringue, apple, pecan, lemon, strawberry…it’s all delicious!

    CAKE ME! Honestly I’m a fan of most baked items. I’m also a pretty impressive baker. My favorite dessert is probably smores, but my favorite these days is a toss up between a beautiful cupcake and a salted apricot oatmeal cookie.

    Cake Me!!!

    In my family, we have “Nanny cake”. My nanny always made a yellow cake with fudge icing- from scratch. It was heavenly. Everyone in the family has tried to replicate it- we’ve even had bake-offs, but no one can even come close :)

    CAKE ME!

    I will take anything with chocolate in it. It doesn’t even matter if it baked, I have been known to eat a few dollops of cookie dough in my day!

    CAKE ME!! Hands down, good old fashioned apple pie, loaded sky high with apples and yummy spices. It can’t get any better than that (unless it’s a delicious rum-soaked sponge cake like I used to eat in France)

    CAKE ME! please :) My all time favorite baked dessert is definitely Red Velvet cake with Cream Cheese frosting, YUM! But gooey chocolate chip cookies, like the ones that aren’t even done baking yet, come in at a VERY close second.

    CAKE ME! My freshman year of college, my dorm cafeteria had the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had. It was multiple layers of rich chocolate amazingness. Definitely contributed to the “Freshman 15.”

    CAKE ME! Anything baked with fresh fruit is my favorite — apple strudel, cherry turnovers, berry cobbler, peach crisp, etc.

    cake me! I love cupcakes. But, not the kind from the store. The kind you make from the box. Rainbow chip if we are getting into specifics.
