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.

    Cookies for sure, but if I spot a brownie it wont live long either! Frankly, I cant thing of many desserts I would snub…

    and PS- I totally know some things cant ship to Canada (like rugs and lamps, oddly) and that American gift cards dont work in our stores. But they should fix that because we Canadians like to win things too!!

    Cake Me! I live for cheesecake and my favorite is regular ole plain vanilla cheesecake!It is the one thing I can bake without screwing up! Now don’t get me wrong I love me some flacored cheesecake, but most days I will take a plain cheesecake over any other sweets.

    CAKE ME! These replies are making me hungry. I have seasonal favorites, but right now, my grandmother’s “refrigerator cookies” sound delicious – brown sugar cookies with almonds.

    CAKE ME!!! My favorite dessert is Oreo truffles. So simple – 1 container of double stuffed Oreos, crumbled in a food processor and 1 block of cream cheese. Shape them into balls and dip in white chocolate! Delicious!

    Pumpkin pie has always been my favorite! I used to request it instead of a birthday cake when I was a kid–still do, actually!

    Definitely cookies.

    And I feel like you totally just passed up the opportunity to reference “Cake or death” by Eddie Izzard. If you haven’t seen it, search for it on Youtube. Hysterical! :)
