Love the color and all things berry!
Love this mixer!!!
Hi :)
Hi Angie – Love your Cake Pops – so very creative and joyful!
I love this idea. I used to do a 5K or volunteer for a Komen Race for the cure every year. I walk for my aunt, and my grandmothers. I would love to bake for a cure, to cook for a cure, to host a party where I could help just a little. Every little bit helps. I unfortunately haven’t been able to walk with my asthma, but as a person at risk, I am trying to instill the effort into my daughter. I hope that who gets it will help in the effort, not just in breast cancer, but other foundations as well.
Love this!
I love the color! So bright and fun.
What a beautiful color!
I would love to use this to whip up something for our upcoming housewarming party! Not to mention it would great to have a new kitchen aid in general!
Such a pretty color!
Such a pretty mixer! You’re supporting a great cause.
A wonderful way to support everyone out there every time you bake!
Thank you for sharing! So many ways to contribute.
Gorgeous mixer and a great cause! Love the party idea and all your fabulous recipes!
My grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago. She underwent chemo and has been cancer free ever since then. I would love to win this for her!!
You are awesome!!
I love this beautiful mixer! And Cook for the Cure is a great idea to support my favorite cause!
Wow…I had not seen this color! I would host a dessert party! Love setting up a dessert buffet with desserts on all different levels, pedestal plates, etc! Have a lovely pink table topper that I could use! Cancer hits all too many people! It’s all around. God Bless those suffering, surviving and celebrating life!
This color is gorgeous! What a treat it would be to see it every morning when you walk into the kitchen :)
Hi there. I would want to host a party in memory of my loved ones that lost the battle with cancer and to honor my friends that have survived it.
Amazing cause! I’d have a small get together with friends!
Hi! Gorgeous!!!
Hiiiiiii!
What a lovely idea this is :)

Gorgeous color! I would love to throw a party for such an honorable cause!
Beautiful mixer!- I would love to use it to bake for my two sisters. xx
Hi!! I love kitchenaid !!!!!!! I want it :) #cookforacure
I have been apart of relay for life for 3 years now and helping to fight for the cure is very important to me. I love this cook for the cure idea! That mixer is so adorable, I would love to use it to host a relay bake sale c: HI bakerella!
Love the color!
thanks for the chance to win!
With this heat, I think I would do a BBQ, or maybe an ice box pie party. Any other time of year would be a baking exchange or tea.
This is a great idea! I would definitely host a dessert party to honor those I know who had, or have passed from cancer.
Ooooh what a pretty mixer! I’ve been needing one so badly!

I would want to host a “Eat it, Cancer!” in celebration of my amazing mom being in remission from breast cancer for a whole year. <3 I love you, Mumma! :)
Oh my gosh I would love to bake with this!
Would love to win this <3
I would love to host a girl friend get together where we all baked something!
I would love to host an event with an overwhelmingly pink theme. All the food would have to be pink, of course. I know too many people who have gotten their diagnonses this past few years, but thankfully all of them are cancer free. This party would celebrate their health!
Not sure what kind of party but I know everything (including hopefully the mixer I made it with) would be PINK
What a great idea, a potluck with the family for a good cause!
I love it! So pretty!
The expected party theme would be pink and of course the goodies and treats would be just that, but I am going deviate off the trail just a bit and host a country tea-party themed get-together. It perfect because it’s summer and everyone is inching to throw on their sun dresses and large hats! My backyard is perfect for this set-up and I can’t wait to MAKE IT HAPPEN! :)
