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! its a tie between anything with cheesecake and anything with chocolate! Actually if I had to pick just one, it would probably be my mom’s gooey butter cake . . . amazing!

    I may be a bit boring but I actually LOVE yellow cake without frosting. I am not a big sweets person but I love sweet breads. Subtle and just sweet enough. My mouth is watering now lol

    Since I pretty much love all sweets, I have too many to just choose one. So two of my most top favorites are carrot cake and pumpkin pie:)

    I love any cake but my favourite is the Birthday Cake my husband makes me every year from Scratch… it’s a lemon cake…

    No sure if It’s just all the love that is added when he cooks.

    CAKE ME! I’m so in love with ice cream. Peppermint or cinnamon ice cream with cake around the holidays has to be one of my more odd indulgences around the holidays every year!

    I love frosted sugar cookies during the holidays; but my all time favorite is strawberry shortcake (with home made biscuits of course).
