Giveaway: The Newlywed Cookbook by Sarah Copeland

I have a book to tell you about. It's called The Newlywed Cookbook: Fresh Ideas and Modern Recipes for Cooking With and for Each Other. I know what you're thinking. Why should you care about this book? 

Well, because the couple that cooks together stays together. And because there's a killer dessert chapter. It includes cocoa, carrot cake bars, upside-down rhubarb cake, etc, and there are also some brunch recipes that are on the sweet side as well. So while the cookbook isn't completely dessert-focused, there's a large, decadent dessert section.

The book was donated for this giveaway by BHLDN, Anthropologie’s one year old sister store. Who are they? Well, I'll let them explain: "a wedding and special occasion retailer that provides attire and accessories for unique, fun-loving brides and their guests. They also sell uncommon, vintage-inspired décor to create the perfect atmosphere for any special occasion. From cake stands to pinwheels, BHLDN’s décor works for any soiree, from a sweet wedding to a special birthday brunch."

But back to that book and its desserts. Want to win a copy? I feel you. All you have to do to enter is this: leave a comment, either here or on the CakeSpy Facebook page, saying your favorite sweet to eat with others. It could be the chocolate torte you love to share with your sweetie, the double popsicle you like to split with your BFF, or maybe even the 2-pack of pop-tarts that you split with your toddler. What's your favorite sweet to share?

This giveaway will close next Monday, November 12, at 5pm EST. Per the request of BHLDN, this giveaway is only open to US residents. Good luck!

Cupcakes! Seriously, they're tasty, individually portioned, and so much fun to decorate! :)

[Craftinomicon]

I love having cupcakes with others, especially if we happen upon a great cupcake shop and get to share each other's flavors!

[Karly K]

We are newlyweds (as of September 2012!), and since our first visit to Philadelphia's Moshulu we have loved to share their warm berry & cream compote in a jar. It's the perfect size for two and worth stopping in just for dessert!

[Pumpkin Cupcakes]

We're newly weds and while we share lots of things, the number one sweet that we love to share is...drumroll...chocolate! Chocolate bars, especially. We sometimes buy several different bars and have a tasting afternoon.

[Cara]

I love to share scotcheroos with people, because they are always so surprised by how delicious they are, and how easy they are to make!
And I'm a soon-to-be newlywed (okay, 9.5 more months...), so this cookbook would be so applicable for me!!!

[Frances]

I love making cinnamon rolls! they are so warm and inviting and people always love them!

[Jacqui]

My favorite sweet to eat with others is cupcakes!!

[Megan V.]

My husband and I go on Frozen Yogurt "dates at least once a week :)

[Mercedes]

definitely cookies! With so many options around, theres always something new to make and try!

[Angie]

I love to eat cookies with others! So easy to share and enjoy :)

[Christina]

Unfortunately my favorite "shared" dessert does not eist anymore:( My very best friend of all time and I used to drive half an hour to a little ice cream shop. They had an AMAZING chocolate ice cream pie and an AMAZING caramel ice cream pie. So we would each get one and split them. Good times!

My fav sweet to share with my sweetie is brownies

[TK]

i am a sharer of pop tarts and blueberry pancakes in the morning!

[Caley]

I like splitting a piece of cake with someone who likes cake and doesn't like frosting...so I get all the frosting and don't waste the cake! ;)

[Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray]

My favorite sweet to share is cupcakes, so we can order two different flavors and split them in half. :)

(I also had the pleasure of meeting Sarah last spring, and she's so lovely!)

[Lauren Guilbeau]

I love to share frozen hot chocolate!

[Amy I.]

Souffle! It's the perfect communal dessert. I've been coveting that cookbook, it's stunning!

[Gabi]

Chocolate pecan chess pie! YUM!

[Jeanne]

My fiancé and I love to share ice cream!

[Jill]

Will be a newlywed in 9 months and we love to share pumpkin pancakes with maple syrup and vanilla frosting. Decadent to the extreme, and the frosting gets melted with the syrup into a buttery sweet mess! Sunday mornings+papers+slippers+secret pancakes=love.

[Cecelia]

Bread pudding with my grandmother.

[Maria Malaveci]

My favorite sweet to share is Double Chocolate Layer Cake & Carrot Cake!

What a difficult question! I'm getting married in two weeks (yay!) and my favorite dessert to share with my soon to be hubby is a warm apple crisp with a dollop of cream especially as the weather gets chillier and chillier! We love relaxing after a long day with a cup of tea or coffee and a warm apple crisp...perfection!

[Courtney]
