An awesome mixer to showcase during a Pink Party! I’d love a mixer to help me out in the kitchen and the pink is just a plus! Thanks Bakerella!
A little cake pop class would be fun!
I am not able to do much cooking at the moment, as I am recovering from two strokes. But I hope to get back to it soon, and this mixer would be a terrific help. I have longed for one of these since I was in high school, 40 years ago, but have never been able to afford one. It would really be a great help, as I’ve partially lost use of my right arm. But good luck to all who enter! :)
Love that mixer, and love the cause more. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would host a party for my mom who is a cancer survivor and my hero!
A potluck for women sounds perfect for this great cause.
I would love to use the mixer to make a meal for my family!
The mixer is beautiful and I would love to win this. I would give it to my friend that has had breast cancer.
We are holding a coffee morning in November for Myeloma UK, a rare form of cancer that my mum is suffering with. This would be great to help me make all the cakes and bakes we have planned to make.
It would be great if someone from Europe, actually from Bosnia and Herzegovina wins this beautiful stuff! Kisses ????????????

I would love to host a Cook for the Cure party for my friends and family in honor of my sister who is a breast cancer survivor!
Just starting my cakepop business and this would make my job a lot easier and it would look fab on my counter :)
I’d throw a big party for my husband. His mum died of breast cancer and the impact was and still is huge. Cancer definitely leaves holes in people’s lives and it sucks x
I would love to host a party dedicated to my Aunt Patricia!
I would host a Pinterest recipe party.. Everyone had to make a recipe I have pinned so we can try it!

I would love to host a party for my family where we would all make a bunch of sweet treats and then we would bring them to donate to our local hospital! To say thank you to all of the doctors and nurses that have been there when we needed them most! It was a very long road to recovery for my mom and it really helped her to have such wonderful people helping her get through this. I know its just a mixer but it would make it so much easier for us to make all of the delicious food for them. Also I wanted to say HI to you!!!
We are hosting one of the stops for our neighborhood deck crawl; which would be a great opportunity to host a “pink” party! I think everyone would love to support such a wonderful cause.

I am amazed by the color and after I borrowed a KitchenAid from a friend when baking for my daughters birthday resently I really wish I could have one too.
It would be an added bonus to have breastcancer cook fo the cure KitchenAid in my kitchen as mymum is a survivor, but it is always in the back of my ming that the cancer could come back.
Thanks for the chance to win it.

I’ve had my eye on this raspberry ice color since last year – it’s gorgeous!
I’m in love!!!!!
This is a wonderful way to enlighten others of the breast cancer and celebrate those who have survived the strong fight. The raspberry pink is a great theme for the party.
Love it!
By winning this mixer I would love to host a cupcake party with my mom (breast cancer survivor), my sister and all the important ladies in my life. *Fingers crossed I get picked*

Hi! This is for such a great cause!
I’d host a girls’ night. :)
I was JUST saying today how I need one of these mixers!!
Gorgeous looking mixer!!!
Great cause and great mixer (:
Hi! Beautiful mixer, a dream for all who love and enjoy to bake and of course wonderful initiative from KitchenAid.
I would love this mixer yet then again I would give it to my daughter. That is just who I am. A giver, never a taker. Love!
I would host a dinner party. Nothing makes me happier than sitting around a table, sharing good food and conversation with good friends.
I would love to have this so I can bake and fundraise for the cure! :)
I like to do fundraisers, so I would use this mixer for a cure breast cancer fundraiser!
Hi! :) I would love to host a girls night. And oh I love the color of the mixer!
I would love to have a small girls’ night with little appetizers and cheesy movies. It’s been a while since we could all slow down and relax!
Breast cancer is the one that gets all the press, but there are so many other cancers out there that I hope some of Komen’s money goes to something other than just breast cancer. That being said, I don’t begrudge breast cancer research, I just wish my mom was still with me. Ovarian cancer is very under the radar as far as cancers go, and I miss her terribly.
Beautiful!!
Would love to enjoy using it to keep adding baking memmories with my my two daughters.
I just happen to be hosting a pampered chef party, does that count?
I need this on my kitchen counter ????????
Great cause! And this would be the best gift ever…especially for my mini cheesecakes :) Goodluck everyone!
I would like to win this mixer as I’m very interested in making desserts and I would like to bake my own 21st birthday cake! :)
