A simple get together with friends is always good. Nothing like celebrating who you have before they are gone

Both of my aunts on my Mom’s side have have fought breast cancer; they are both in remission now. They have always encouraged me to learn to bake and cook. I would love to make them something with this mixer.

I would LOVE this beautiful mixer!
I’m not super excited about the extensive pink-washing that is happening with Komen and others. (If you haven’t seen the documentary “Pink ribbons, Inc.” I highly recommend it.) However, I am sure I can put this mixer to good use – whether it’s by taking food to those in need, providing goodies for a bake sale, or just cooking for my friends and family.
Love the color!
I would love to just get all four of my kids home at the same time!
Looks awesome would love a mixer :3

I’d love to make some baked goods for my new neighbors -we’re military and moving in a few weeks, and showing up with baked goods is always a good way to meet people!
I would have a dinner party in memory of my friend Jami and for my friend Barbara (currently fighting).
I would love to host a dessert party in honor of my Grandmother a breast cancer survivor
LOVVVEE this!
Love – LOVE – LOVE the color. It would make baking twice as fun!
I love your site! I’ll be making cake pops for the first time and after perusing this site, I think I’m fully prepared to be successful! I love baking but am still learning of course! I wish I could get one of those beautiful mixers but they are sooooo expensive! One day….
love the color!

Would love a bigger mixer! And love the color!
I would love it!!
Love it! It’s bright, cheery & fun!
I am awed by your creations and the delicate, intricate designs (those roses are divine!!!) !
I’m pretty sure this mixer wouldn’t make my cakepops as delicious as yours, but I think it might help ;)
That Mixer looks really cool! If I win it I would use to help make treats if I have a Cook for the Cure Party!
My mom lost her battle with this insidious disease in 2007. She was an avid baker, as am I!
Fingers crossed for this mixer.
Before I post my response, I must say what an awesome cause! Every bit counts and helps towards finding a cure! I would love to win this Kitchenaide and with the winning, I would bake up a storm! More specifically, I would host a bread tasting party. I would make my SF inspired sourdough, some sweet bread, some cinammon rolls…and the list would go on and on. I would of course invite Bakerella herself and hope she would join. I would also remember those who have fought, won and lost the battle.
I love this organization so much I would love to host a party to help this cause
I’m so inspired and will definitely be signing up to host a party*
What a great idea, hosting a fundraising party!
It would be a dream to win this mixer for my Mom and Aunt both Breast Cancer survivors.
This mixer is special! #cookforthecure

What a great giveaway and cause. Myself and numerous family members are “previvors.” We are BRCA positive and chose to have Mastectomy’s and Hysterectomy’s. We lost our Grandmother to breast cancer.
My Nana had breast cancer. She survived it and to this day, only complains about the wig. I dream of a day when cancer no longer ails us.
