Love that pink! I’d love to see that thing on my kitchen counters every day!
Got a ‘Back to School’ party tomorrow
Great cause. Great color. Great mixer. Would be great to win :)
I have two family members who have had breast cancer. This would be a great way to honor them especially because one of them used to own a bakery.
Oooooooooh pretty… OH YEAH! And HI!!!
Would love to host a baking party!
I’d host a party in Honor of my Aunt who died from Ovarian and Lung cancer.
That is one snazzy mixer! Breast cancer awareness and foundations that fund research for finding a cure are very close to my heart and my family. Thanks for helping with such a great cause!!
All your little #CookForTheCure treats are so pretty! But look delicious too! I’m afraid I’m not much of a cook or baker yet, but I’m ready to start learning and this mixer would be a great way to start! Love the color too! :)
Cook for the Cure is a wonderful way to help fight breast cancer. I lost a precious aunt to breast cancer three years ago, so it means a lot to me for people to help support the cause.
I would make my cupcakes for my friends who are breast cancer survivors!
I would love to host a cookie/dessert party for everyone to sample sweet yummies! Everything pink…including some pink cocktails.
Love this color!
Each year I bake lots of treats for fundraisers for best cancer walks. This would be a great addition to my kitchen for those events. Having family and friends with breast cancer, doing whatever I can to help find a cure is the least I can do!
It’s so beautifull… But it’s a pity that the competition is for US residents only :( It looks so amazing!
In memory of all which have passed and those fighting!
As a broke grad student, I have been lusting over a Kitchenaid for quite a while…I would use it all the time!
I am in no doubt that your map will be filled to the gunnels with wee pink ribbons.
I don’t usually go for pink but this is awesome it shouts at me lol !!! in a good way though :)
It will be an honor to have one of them
THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the kind things you do for all the charities. That is one of the main reasons I love your site. Also I love your recipes, ideas, and tips. Keep up the great work. Thanks for letting me enter the contest,
I love having parties for my boys every year. I think they enjoy party planning as much as I do (sometimes ;)
I’d definitely have a cupcake party. And that pink mixer would be amazing!!

Hi! TGIF!
Awesome! This is a great cause and the color of that mixer is divine! You can’t possibly be in a bad mood when looking at that color. That mixer cries for white fluffy butter cream and sprinkles!
Awesome color for a mixer! My kitchen would love this! Who needs an excuse to throw a cook out to celebrate life & the many blessings it brings! My aunt lost her battle with cancer but it just reminds me that life is short & I have to find the best in every single day!

I am very dedicated to helping with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I have done the 3 Day Walk two years and raised thousands of dollars.

Hi! And I love that mixer…and any chance to (make my husband) cook for anyone!
Thank you for sponsoring this great cause!
If I were to donate to cancer research, it would be for a melanoma research group, as that’s what took my mother’s life at 49 years young. She would have loved this mixer! She taught me how to bake and I lovingly treasure her recipes every time I make them.
The color of this mixer is GREAT! I can see many yummy treats coming out of my kitchen with this…. ;)
I have 4 daughters under age 8. The three oldest and I LOVE to cook together;) My 8 year old is taking a kids baking class she loves it so much! So this would be great for us! Plus it’s pink for her;). She’d love that.
What a wonderful giveaway.
Beautiful mixer! It reminds me of all the strong women out their in the world.
This would make a great addition to my kitchen. Not only would it look stunning but everytime I use it I can think I my Aunt Di.

We lost her young to Cancer & I would do anything to her her back.
I would host a party for my mom.

Chocolate cake with raspberry frosting….mmmmm. I’m lucky I could host several survivor friends. They’ve all lived through breast cancer, but we really need to figure out how to stop this disease. I’m so tired of hearing it’s diagnosis.
i’d want a low-key backyard BBQ that lasts all afternoon and night. my favorite kind!
I’d host a sleepover with all things pink for my girls with all kinds of tiny pink treats. This would be handy for the volunteer baking I have coming up also.
Ooh! It would have to be a cupcake party for me.
Mmmm…cake pops…

What a beautiful mixer. I would definitely make cupcakes or cookies with my son and toddler niece and nephew.
Wine tasting dinner party!
I will be quite honest. I never gave much thought into this horrible sickness (cancer) until I was at least 15 and I got my first job. My then boss, who is now 8 years later still a very good friend, had just recently overcome her 1st battle with breast cancer. This women is Amazing! She is also the founder now of Pink Swag & Ysabels Pink Angels. Anyway, this women also gave me lots of hope in 2011 when my dad was diagnose with a form of stomach cancer. My dad fought long and hard and I am very proud of him! Unfortunately he lost his battle Aug 2nd 2012. Almost 2 years later and still something so hard to process! Since then my friend survived her second battle with cCancer. My husband and I are also car enthusiasts and constantly attend car shows that donate all their proceeds to wonderful foundations and organisations. I would love to host an event to help raise money, but unfortunately at the moment I am a struggling part-time baker, a full time mommy and wife to an amazing husband going through his own set of health problems. He is all I have left to keep me strong so i am dedicating most of my time to my husband and family in doing the best I can to keep them healthy and strong. Winning this mixer would be a blessing and an awesome “Motivator” in keeping my head up for my own goals in life. Little Peep Bakes would thank you a million times!!
