  138. I would love to have the tangerine or boysenberry kitchen aid mixer. I make Gluten -Free breads and desserts for my sister who has Celiac Disease and i do it all by hand because i don’t have a mixer. Her birthday is in October and it would be a great gift for me to be able to make her her gluten-free chocolate ganache cake with raspberry for her birthday. It would be so much easier and safer to make her special foods with a kitchen aid mixer that would be used Only for Gluten-Free.
    Thank You
    Joan

  139. Onxy Black!

  140. Love the Boysenberry, but my daughter would love the green!!
    And yesterday I was looking thru Pinterst and saw the ‘ghost’ cake I made last year – I think I’ll make that again!!

  141. I’m thinking of making candy corn cheesecake in a jar. The grey mixer looks nifty seems to have a matte finish which I love. ^_^ thanks!

  142. I love them all but my favourite has to be the grey!!! I am bound by my 5 year old daughter to make ghost and mummy cake pops at Halloween for the rest of my life so that is what I would make first with the mixer.

  143. Love all of them but probably the contour silver. Putting together some ghost shaped brownie sundae kits for my children’s Teachers this year (homemade ghost shaped brownie, pretty spoon, little sprinkles in jar and packaged in an ice cream cup), they’ll have a tag that reads “Just add I Scream”.

  144. Tangerine looks soooo pretty… :) and it’s a tradition in my family..we make “pumpk-inamin bars” ..sooooo yummy!!

  145. Black would be perfect for halloween and pumpkin cinnamon bread is on the menu!

  146. Hello, I would love to win the Metallic one :)
    And favorite treat would be chocolate chip decorated pumpkin cookies

  147. My daughter is getting married on December 8th and she lost both her grandparents this year..her grandma on Easter Sunday and her Pop pop this past Friday Oct 4th..she wants to make her grandmas favorite recipe of Almond Crescent Cookies as wedding favors to honor her and also so that her grandma is there in a way…THIS WOULD BE PERFECT!!

  148. Looks like Boysenberry is as close to red as I can get, so that would be my choice and I’m sure it could help me make some scary cupcakes!

  149. Halloween is my favorite holiday! I’ve already learned how to bake banana bread, so my next two goals are pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread. I like the tangerine. It’s a nice, bright color.

  150. I love the tangerine colour although the boysenberry is fun also. Either one would be perfect to help make apple pie.

  151. Tough choice!! I think the contour silver although boysenberry is a super close second. I haven’t decided what to make for Halloween yet! Better figure out quickly…

  152. I love white appliances, so white is my choice!! My first treat to make would be Pumpkin Bread with fresh pumpkins from the Farmer’s Market.

  153. I’m making a spider web cake this year. I would love the gray one. Thanks for sharing!

  154. Oh- the Black Onyx would be my choice and I will be making something chocolatey and something with pumpkin… I’ll let the kids decide! Happy Halloween!

  155. Nothing shines better than Metallic Chrome for the holidays!
    Would love making my holiday cookies in this!

  156. There is nothing that beats the beauty of a White KitchenAid! Thanks for sponsoring such a lovely giveaway!

  161. I’m loving the contour silver mixer! Definitely making your mini adorable bat cupcakes for Halloween. Pavlova would be a breeze in that mixer; what an amazing giveaway!

  162. I am making monster chocolate cupcakes for our church Halloween party. And I think that tangerine KA would add a wonderful splash of color to my kitchen. Happy Halloween y’all!

  163. I love the boysenberry color!

  164. Grey would be my choice. I think it might be manly enough that my boyfriend would actually use it. For Halloween this year I plan on making fudge. Every year growing up it was something my Grandma would always make and I’d like to continue the tradition

  165. I would love any color as long as it says KitchenAid on it…but if I had to choose I think I’d go with grey. I’ll need it to make all of the holiday cake pops I’m supposed to be making this year!

  166. I would love to have the white mixer and make some red velvet cake pops with Halloween sprinkles for the kids…

  167. The metallic chrome mixer is gorgeous! I would use it alot to make spider web cupcakes, candy corn poke cake and Skull with a top hat cupcakes! We love Halloween!!!!

  168. Pumpkin and ghost cookies with uh my royal icing and sprinkles. The white or the chrome or the canopy green would look so nice on my kitchen counter.

  169. Caramel cookies and i love Tangerine

  170. Definitely the Onyx Black …. and looking forward to making a 2 layer pumpkin spice cake!

  171. If I were lucky enough to win, I would probably choose either the contour silver or metallic chrome! As far as baking, I plan on making many items, including a cake that looks like a spider and oozes pudding when you cut into it!

  172. I’d love to win this for my sister in law… so I’d love to let her pick her color after WE win!!

  173. Oh my God, such a great chance..I wouldn’t mind any of the colours, just the simple idea of having a KitchenAid makes me super dupper happy!

    Hm..we don’t have Halloween back where I’m from (Portugal) but I’ve been eyeing this salted peanut florentines for a while now!

    Best of luck to everyone XO

  174. I love the boysenberry or tangerine!

  175. I’m starting to love all things orange, so definitely the Tangerine.

  177. I would love to have the boysenberry. I can just picture my family using this for all our holiday baking. It would be a such a welcomed addition!
