Hi pink is my favorite color so winning this mixer would make me super excited. It would be on display for all to see.
Making my grandma’s special “blue” velvet cake or a german chocolate cake to remember my dad by whom we lost to NHL. Gma’s gone now, but survived cancer not once but twice!
Awesome!
If I had that mixer, I’d bake everyday!
I am a cancer survivor and i would love a party! =p

Hi! So much pink! I love it!
HI! I would love to bake goodies for my father and brother in law who are both cancer survivors <3 They are my heroes!
I would love to host a party for my 90 year old great aunt who is a breast cancer survivor. She is a strong and one of the most “with it” 90 year olds I’ve ever met!
Amazing!! Hello Lovely Lady!
What a beautiful color! It makes me happy just looking at it.
WANNNNNT!!! I would love to host a family reunion! My family is spread across several COUNTRIES, and I look forward to the day we can all be in one place again!
I need It! :)
I would have a party like the kids have where they start with a cookie or cupcake and then add and decorate however they want, but I’d do it big girl style with each guest bringing the add ons and having wine. Just make a night of it!! Too fun.
How beautiful! I would love to win one to give one of my daughters.

I am just now seeing this post..so too late to host a party..but what a wonderful idea. Sad to say I’m sure cancer has touched all of our lives at some point. Here’s to finding the cure!
I would love to make the Reese’s or Oreos Cheesecake bars using this beautiful Kitchenaid mixer! Baking would be so much more fun and stylish! Love the color!
It would be amazing to have such a beautiful mixer! Im still using a whisk to mix my things! Lol Im always baking due to my family having parties for their children as well as my own, this Saturday Im in charge of cooking for my mother in laws birthday and I want to make cake pops for her. I think having a mixer would help me so much in furthering in my dream of becoming a well known baker like yourself! :-)
I would bake something pink for my mom. We have both lost a grandma, aunt, and sister.
All my younger sister ever talks about is how much she wants to be a baker when she grows up and own a KitchenAid like this one. So please, for the rest of my family’s sake, stop her talking about it! She’ll put it to good use, of that I have no doubt.
Hi Bakerella, love your site!
THis is a cool giveaway! The mixer is the prettiest color!
Hi from me to you!
Hi Bakerella! I would love this mixer to make lots of cake pops
It would be so cool to win this mixer. I absolutely love that color and can’t wait to find out who won!
That is the cutest color! I would love that mixer to make lots of cookies, buttermints, cupcakes and many other goodies!
Hi! :) I would love to add this kitchen-aid to my cure collection!! I buy everything I can that’s pink and proceeds go to cancer research! My fiancé has learned to keep his mouth shut about said habbit! ;) I’ve been begging for this edition of the kitchen aid since I first saw it last year! I would make/bake items for all our friends and family who have gone through the struggles of cancer and to celebrate them and their importance in everyone’s life!
Dealing with a broken oven right now so it’s hard to think about hosting a party, but hello!!!!
Hi! This raspberry color is gorgeous! Makes me want to bake some yummy cookies!!
This would be great for all my banking creations and experimentations!! Especially around Halloween!!
I love your blog, and I love this mixer.
I have never had a stand mixer, my mom is a hand held type of girl, but I’ve been dying to get one!
Love the pink. It is awesome.
This beautiful mixer is the one item that I have wanted for years.

My grandmother fought (and won) cancer on many occasions. She was my hero. She passed away on my sons birthday, almost two years ago. I support breast cancer awareness because it’s a real thing that does not discriminate against age or race…but I do it in honor and memory of her.

If I won this I’d give it to my awesome Grandma! She kicked breast cancers’ ass and did 5 half marathons to celebrate her fifth year cancer free. She also let me have her old one because I was always using it.
We just moved back to the states from Germany, so I’d love to host a party for our new neighbors. Does the mixer come with extra hands to unpack boxes? :)
Beautiful mixer! I’d use it for every one of my girls’ birthdays- and for any other even that I need to make anything and everything for.
This stand mixer would look beautiful on our kitchen counter, have a white one now and would love to spice it up!
What a great cause! I love Bakerella!

Hi Bakerella,
your blog is the best! I visit it on an almost daily basis since 2008 and tomorrow I’ll present my friends some cake pops and handy peach pies for dessert :)
Best wishes
Tine
I am a 2 time cancer survivor and proud of it! When I got my first diagnosis at the age of 34 I had a gathering at my home before my mastectomy to get the family together before I would be down and out for a while. When I found out I had it again 3 years later I was told I would now have to do chemo, radiation and antibody treatments. This time I threw a “Haircutting Party” as I was told I would lose my long beautiful hair to chemo, and it was a perfect excuse to get everyone together for a great time and to put everyone’s fears to rest, at least for a while. Everyone was put at ease, we all had a great time with lots of great food and drinks. How great it would be to do another get together to celebrate my remission, using a raspberry KitchenAid stand mixer to help make my scrumptious food and desserts.
Hi Bakerella, Love you!
I need one of this mixers! I would make so many things I haven’t been able to!
Would love to win it.
