I love throwing themed parties! And one for a good cause just makes all the labor so much more worth it!
What a great Idea and what a great color!!

One of my neighbors was dealing with breast cancer and won!! :)
It’s awesome that you’re trying to help other women win!

WOw, this is such a gorgeous mixer! love the color! HAPPY BAKING!

PLEASE pick me!
Love this! In honor of my good friend currently fighting the fight.
This mixer is amazing and the only thing to make it look MORE amazing is if it were on my counter!
This is a very beautiful color.
HI! Love the color!
Can’t enter :( from Canada

I am hosting a Disney Frozen birthday party for my daughter who is turning 4 this year. I’m making Elsa, Anna and Olaf cake pops for the party. I would love to help raise funds for Susan G Komen at this party. I’m a huge fan of Bakerella, if it wasn’t for your Cakepop book, I would never found my baking passion!
What a gorgeous color. I would give it to a friend of mine who is battling cancer as we speak.
I would like to host a bbq. That way hubby can do the cooking and I could do the baking :)
I’d host in honor of my grandmother who successfully beat cancer.
I would love to win this in honor of my daughter. She is currently fighting terminal breast cancer and had only a few months to live.

I love the color of the mixer, but more important I think the cook for the Cure is a fabulous idea! Thank you.
I would love to have a stand mixer. While I can make most things with my hand mixer, buttercream is hit-or-miss and meringues turn out much better if I drive to my Mom’s house (40 minutes away) and use her (ancient) Kitchen Aid mixer. One day…sigh.
This is by far my favorite mixer color!

My cousin’s wife is fighting for her life due to cancer that started as breast cancer and has spread. I would bake in honor of her.
I would love to host a party in my mom’s honor who passed away from Cancer which begin with breast cancer. She was a fighter!

Would love to have this in my kitchen in honor and support of all those who have fought and continue to fight..
My mom and I always are always cooking together in the kitchen. We have become the best of friends sharing that time together. She is a survivor of breast cancer and this would be a great addition to our kitchen.
Love it!
I think I’d just throw a birthday party for either my niece or my nephew. Or perhaps my mom since her birthday is also coming up soon. As much as I despise pink..because it’s associated with breast cancer, I would be more than proud to have this berry mixer in my kitchen.
I lost my grandma and my aunt to breast cancer in 2007, 5 months and 5 days apart from each other. It was a horrific thing to witness and I miss them every day. It’s a struggle to come to grips that disease may be my fate as well, but I’m also trying to stay positive that it won’t be in my cards for the future. :) Anyway..yeah. First thing I’d make in that is Grandma’s Chocolate Chip/Walnut cookies.
Hi Angie! I would love to host a “pastry potluck” with all of my friends! That mixer is so nice and I love the glass bowl!! That would be such a nice upgrade from my kitchen aid hand mixer! <3 :D
I would love to host a dinnerparty and for afterwards I’d bake an enormous chocolate cake! :)
Would love love love to have!! Need something girly in my kitchen!!!!
I’d love that beautiful kitchenaid! I appreciate the cause, too– I have relatives who have battled breast cancer. Thanks for helping fight for a cure!
Everyday in elementary school my recess “mom” would help me tuck my gloves under my coat sleeves so the snow wouldn’t get in. I usually stayed by her and talked with her almost everyday. I knee she had breast cancer and will never forget the day one of my teachers called to inform my parents she had passed away. I’m so glad to see your blog and KitchenAid team up with Susan G. Jome and many others around the globe to work together to fight breast cancer; this world does not need to lose any more wonderful and kind people like my recess “mom.”
I absolutely love this colour! Really want to start getting into baking more & this would be a great start!!! xxx

Both my biological father and my mother-n-law passed from cancer. I think Cooking for a cure is a phenomenal idea!

Beautiful I could use one of these
