great idea!!
I absolutely love the color pink & have participated in many race for the cure events throughout the past. I would LOVE to host a pink party for all the ladies I know. Just for some fun & raising awareness. Being a nurse I’ve heard the stories of women waiting too late either bc they’re scared, believe its something else, etc. I’m all about some primary & secondary prevention. Think I want to throw a party like this for my bday– which happens to be in October. Your pics give me inspiration!!!!!
I just love that color. #cookforacure
This is a beautiful mixer. I lost my Mom to Triple Negative Breast Cancer 9 months ago and my baby sister was diagnosed with Breast cancer last Tuesday. I think it’s wonderful that this program exists.
I love this mixer and I know my daughter would too!
Hi Angie! Thanks for sharing all your great ideas. I got so excited by the pic of this mixer in your post that I showed it to my hubby and said “you have to see how good this mixer looks! How pretty is that?!” He looked at the pic and laughingly replied “yes babe it’s nice but that’s like me talking about cars with you!”
I need this for any kind of party!
I would host a party in honor of my mother.
I would love to be able to make some fun treats with this mixer to help out those who have been an inspiration to me! :)
Super cute!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful ideas! A party in honor of Christie Galvin.
Love, love, love this mixer. I would love to host a party in memory of my brother who passed from leukemia on Easter Sunday. He loved everyone and everyone loved him and he just adored big get togethers.
Love this color! Cook for the cure is such a great idea!
I’d have a party to remember my friend June!!
So I got so excited by the pic of this mixer in your post that I showed it to hubby and said “you have to see how good this mixer looks! How pretty is that?!” He looked at the pic and laughingly replied “yes babe it’s nice but that’s like me talking about cars with you!”
Hosting a party… host number 12934.
First one in Utah!
This is such a beautiful color! I”d love to host a favorite Pinterest recipe party where everyone brings their favorite Pinterest recipe.
Ooooh, what a pretty colour!
I’d love to hold a barbeque, honestly, I’ve been debating it for awhile, I have this great grill I almost never use.
My party will be in honor of my two sweet grandmother’s who both died of breast cancer :) miss them so much it hurts.
I’d definitely host a champagne and sweets party.
I’d love to win this for my Warrior, Sue. I walk for her team. This would be a true blessing for her. God bless all the survivors, their families and especially those who have transitioned.
this mixer would add a pop or color to any kitchen
Beautiful mixer and wonderful cause!
Hi!! Thanks for hosting this amazing giveaway!
I love this raspberry color!!!
Love this!!!
I would love to host an event for my aunt who passed from breast cancer and for my aunt now going through it.
My Mother in law is currently battling cancer right now. If she didn’t live across the country I would love to throw a party for her with all sorts of pink yummy treats to help her get through this trial.
I would like to win a mixer to give to my best friend and her three daughters. They love to bake and I know they would love to have a stand mixer.
Beautiful mixer and wonderful cause!
This is fabulous tribute idea! Make me think of a few awesome people I know who have fought cancer.
Gorgeous mixer.
I’d have a get together in honor of my mom. She had breast cancer a few years ago now and is a survivor.
That is beatiful! Love it.
i’ve always wanted a mixer! i’d invite all the foodies in my life and host a cookie party.
I have never hosted a party before, but if I do I would love to host a pie party.
I think I would host a cupcake decorating party! I have seen a room full of adults become like kids again when they see a buffet of candy to decorate with! It would also be fun for the kids :)
I would host a get together for all of my friends who have crafted for my upcoming wedding.
Cake party for my mum’s family! I’d give the mixer to my mum too! She has this awful hand mixer that has two speeds (off and the speed of light) and sounds like a squirrel is running the motor.
The saddest part to me is that although these treats taste yummy and look beautiful, they are the very types of food that feed cancer. I have a dear friend battling breast cancer naturally through diet. She was given only 2 years to live. It has been a tough discipline and she is on a very restrictive diet, but I am thrilled to report that in less than 6 months time, she has discovered that there is no longer cancer in her body (and she did it only through food and supplements – no chemo or radiation at all). She is going to continue to eat this restricted diet for another 1.5 years to assure that she has healthy cells growing in her body and then she will extpand her diet, but it will probably never include the types of food displayed here. I love the concept of “Cook for the Cure”, I just wish it actually promoted food that would help people cure. Food is very powerful in healing the body. Just something to think about.
I would host a party for my best friend of 46 years. She has now been cancer free for 7 years.
thank you for doing this giveaway!
Oh such a gorgeous color
Just wanted to say, Hi! And what a beautiful color!

What a gorgeous mixer! I love it! I know someone who has fought and won against breast cancer, but I’m not very close to them. Even still, I would throw a party in honour of her, and all of the women around the world fighting. In honour of anyone and everyone fighting any kind of cancer.
Hi! I’d love to host a party for my aunt who is a cancer survivor. Love that color!

What a gorgeous mixer! Would love to use it in my kitchen to make some baked goods!
Hi! It’s gorgeous!
cook for the cure is an awesome idea!
Gorgeous color! My KitchenAid mixer was inherited from my grandmother when she passed away from breast cancer. It’s very meaningful to me and this would be a wonderful replacement.
That color is beautiful! My grandma had breast cancer many years ago. She made wonderful pies. And lots of other good things too! I love making recipes I got from her.
Seems like this prize would be great to use for treats for ladies night!! Thanks!
I think I am going to have a girl’s night potluck. Everything pink themed!
So cute! Love the bright color.

Hi! Love the color! Would love to make my Christmas cookies with this one! (already thinking about Christmas in July!)
I made a lot of cake pops starting in 2011 when I hosted a baby shower. Bought your book and consulted this website for ideas. Had a long hiatus from making cake pops because I got pregnant and had a baby! I’m making cake pops again for the first time in 3 years for my baby’s 1st birthday party and I am excited!!!
I love this! I lost my aunt to breast cancer when I was 13. I would love to host a some sort of bake sale to raise donations for a cure.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 18 years ago when my 3 children were 3, 6 and 9. Along with my husband my mom was my strongest supporter. She cooked, cleaned, babysat and helped get me thru the exhausting treatments. We talked everyday. She died 13 years ago and I would give anything to have dinner with her one more time.
Love the color and I would love to cook with it!
Love the idea of Cook for the Cure! And love the mixer :)
Such a beautiful color! Thinking of all those who fight every day! <3

I would want to host a get-together for a friend from high school who, at 33, has battled breast cancer and won 3 times, and just found out she’s had a fourth recurrence. She started chemo last week for her fourth type of cancer. She’s a fighter, though!!!
i’d just want to get together with my daughters, sisters, and nieces. well…if some nephews want to come and master some recipes, that’s okay…
For my Grandmother who was a 30 year survivor and my aunt who is a 5 year survivor :)
