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 dobos tortes. It’s a family tradition to bake them! It’s German layer cake with about 12 layers in all. Delish.

    My favorite is my family’s strawberry shortcake, which is a cross between a buttermilk biscuit and a shortbread cookie. Add grandma’s strawberries straight from the garden and you have the best dessert known to mankind.

    I love all baked goods, but I’m a sucker for regular old brownies. I love them plain, warm, cold, with or without ice cream (but mint chocolate chip if “with”), in the morning, afternoon, evening, or bedtime! I love them!

    “CAKE ME!”

    My mom used to make me the same cake for my birthday every year. Chocolate cake with a brazilian coconut filling and a brazilian chocolate icing. Amazing!

    Pecan Pie! Now picture me saying “Would you like some pecan pie?” in my best “When Harry met Sally” voice :)

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Cake Me! It’s a toss-up between cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies. Put a plate of either in front of me, and the result is stomach-bursting, hedonistic gluttony of the best kind!

    My new favorite dessert is the trendy but delicious cake pop. They are so time consuming but fun to make! I made a vanilla with cream cheese frosting that was so yummy!

    I love it all from cake to crisps. The thing that gets me every time I see it in a bakery case are lemon squares though. Every. Time.

    CAKE ME! My mom’s Texas Sheet Cake. It’s a single layer cake so there’s a great ratio of cake to frosting, and the frosting is almost fudge-like in consistency and flavor. Yum, almost drooling just thinking about it.

    My favourite baked dessert is ‘Elvis’ favourite pound cake’which my husband makes. It is good and way too fattening.

    Cake Me! I love to bake bread-type things like Banana bread or blueberry muffins. I love to bake in general but I usually bake the sweeter things for other people.
