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! My all-time favorite dessert is my mom’s (and really only my mom’s) chocolate layer cake with chocolate icing. She’s been making it for nearly 30 years, from a recipe torn out of the newspaper. All chocolate cake is compared to “her” cake!
    The secret seems to be a hing of instant coffee in both the batter and icing.

    CAKE ME! My favorite is Chocolate Chip Angel Food Cake from my grandpa’s bakery. My goal for this year: figure out how to get the recipe (which makes 20 cakes) converted to make 1 (or 2…) for me!

    CAKE ME! My very favorite dessert is my Grandma Lilly’s Blueberry Belle Crunch. I love going through my mom’s recipe box to find her handwritten recipe card, all stained and worn from many years of baking with love :) Thank you for the giveaway!

    CAKE ME!

    My all-time favorite dessert would have to be my chocolate chip cookies. That being said, I’m not a straight from the oven gal, I like them to be a day old.

    CAKE ME! It’s tough, but I think these orange chocolate chip cookies I make are one of my favorites. Also, yellow cake with homemade lemon curd and cream cheese frosting. Also, anything with chocolate ganache. And, now I want all three =)

    CAKE ME! Cake is my favorite food group. I especially like cake that oh-so-virtuously combines itself with the Fruit & Vegetable group – carrot, lemon, coconut, etc.

    I made me the most DIVINE chocolate chip cookies last week… I think they were based off a NY Times recipe. I found it on pinterest. The recipe was to die for….

    “CAKE ME!”

    My favorite baked goods are cupcakes – because it makes me feel better about the amount of cake that I’m consuming (because I could sit down and eat an entire cake if given the opportunity).

    To be more specific…chocolate cake. peanut butter frosting. *drool*
