I have two ladies in my life who are currently fighting breast cancer. Komen has made awesome strides in increasing awareness and working for a cure! XO
This is a great idea! I would be baking my daughter’s 1st birthday cake with this mixer.
Hello!
I am thinking a end of summer/back to school(work) party for my fellow teachers would be the perfect way to end the summer. That adorable kitchen aid sure would make party prep a whole lot easier. And what would top the whole thing off? Starting to raise money for my next breast cancer walk while I am at it. The mixer would be a great conversation starter at the party!
I would host a party for my husband’s aunt who had a double mastectomy a few years ago.
Beautiful mixer for a fantastic cause!
Gorgeous Mixer! I’d love to whip up the batter for my pink lemonade cupcakes in it!
My friend had a baby while she’s been living abroad, but she’s coming back soon — so I would host a party for all of our friends to see her and meet her now 1-year old!!
I would host a baking with Mommas and Daughters/Sons party and we would make pink cookies, cupcakes, what ever the little ones decided upon!
BTW, that mixer is beautiful!!! With a capital “B!!!”
I would have a pretty pink color party!
I normally like white but LOVE this raspberry color. I would have a special party for all my sisters as we are making serious decisions due to a genetic gene. Thank you!
LOVE it!
My daughter would love this. She is majoring in culinary at Nicholls State University in Louisiana. This would be the perfect gift for her.
I would host a party in honor of my Dad who battled leukemia.
Great color for a great cause!
Beautiful mixer and a great cause!
Love this drawing where it is for a good cause… My daughter is an excellent baker and we would love to do something for the cause/donate to a charity….
I would host a baking party just get a bunch of friends and family and bake everything under the sun cookies, cupcakes, and pies.
I would host in honor of a friend and a sister-in-law who both beat breast cancer; and in memory of my next door neighbor who lost the fight. What great motivation!
I would want to host a potluck! I’d make some tasty dessert with this mixer and ask others to bring new, exciting creations of their own.
I’m
Dying over that color and in love with that mixer!!
I would be whipping up cookies, brownies and cake for family members and donate $$ to Breast Cancer! We have some survivors in our family.
What a pretty mixer and what a great cause! My grandmother fought and beat breast cancer twice. When it came back a third time, though, she couldn’t fight it anymore. She was a brave and courageous woman who taught me how to deal with adversity. Thanks for doing the giveaway.
Seriously the most perfect color!
I love the color of this mixer! I would love to host a party for my nieces and nephews and their friends where they can help decorate cookies, chocolate suckers, etc.
The color of this mixer is inspirational! I LOVE hosting but with circumstances I can’t pull it off. I have big plans for lots of it in the future! I need to train my three little girls to bake along side me. I’ll have all the bonding time(help) I need!
I would host a party for Nana a celebration for beating breast cancer.
What a great giveaway and a great cause!
Raspberry is stunning! As well as being my favourite fruit! I have them everyday on my porridge :) The cook for the cure sounds fantastic and I know how much these get together’s raise! I held a Great Pink Bake Off last year and raised £1000 towards cancer research. This year I am raising funds for Alzheimer’s society and walking 6 miles in memory of my grandma :)
Here’s hoping!
The color of this mixer is gorgeous! I’d use it to make some delicious desserts, fresh whip cream, oh my…the possibilities are endless
The mixer is gorgeous and vibrant, and I’d love to win it. Thankfully breast cancer has not touched my family, and I feel so fortunate. I’d like to send wishes of health and strength to every woman battling cancer and to her family. The Susan G. Komen Foundation is wonderful and works so hard for a cure. Someday it will happen.
hi! What a great cause to support!
I would love to host a party to thank all the friends that have supported me over the years. I am a 14 year breast cancer survivor. My sis would be the guest of honor because she has been my biggest supporter. And if I win that beautiful mixer I think I’ll redecorate my kitchen to match that awesome color.
I have had way too many friends with breast cancer. Thank you for posting this

For some reason my double chocolate chip cookies have been the one thing people in my life going through chemo can eat and still tastes good to them. I have, unfortunately, but with love, baked more of these cookies for my friends and family than I care to think about. Using this mixer to bake would be a constant reminder of those dearly loved with and no longer with us. I would be honored.
It will definitely be a pastry party in memory of several educators!
