  1. I love all of them, but silver will go with everything!
    So silver please! This Halloween will be making something yummy and sweet, it will be orange and black… maybe be black mud cake whoopie pies with pumpkin cream filling!

  2. Love the tangerine color to make salted caramel brownies, pumpkin cheesecake, apple dumplings, pumpkin whoopie pies…..

  3. Color: grey
    Treat: too many to pick. Maybe eyeball cake balls again? Spiderweb cookies? Bleeding heart truffles?

  4. The metallic chrome looks classy yet funky so id have to pick that one. Halloween is slowly gathering momentum here in Australia – personally I love it and its starting to rub off on my 3 year old. He has begged me to make halloween gingerbread cookies for the last two weeks and it looks like we will be doing many more! :)

  5. Love the boysenberry.

  6. I love the boysenberry mixer!

  7. Tangerine. But the contour silver or metallic chrome would be nice too. Oh, can’t go wrong with white or onyx, OK, I decided on anything other than boysenberry or Canopy Green. Now to decide on what I would make first….

  8. Ouuh I love the tangerine one :)

  9. metallic chrome

  10. Oooh, the Boysenberry, please – what a great color! And I’d make some of my world (well, maybe not world) famous pumpkin chocolate chip mini loaves.

    Happy Baking, everyone!

  11. if I win, I would love the white! and I’m not even sure I’d know where to start with what I could make! I’m thinking cake balls though! :)

  12. I would love the boysenberry one! That’s such a pretty colour! I’m gonna make cupcake-size pumpkin cheesecakes.

  13. ?Such a dream giveaway? Boysenberry is my dreamcolour
    Greetings from far away
    Kirsten

  14. I really like the onyx black kitchen aid stand mixer :) it would change my life in kitchen to be a perfect one. Halloween witch, phantoms and pumpkin cookies look and taste even better. Also my pumpkin and coconut cake! <3

  15. I like the chrome or tangerine!!! Anything pumpkin is what I want to bake now!! Maybe I will throw in some candy corn cupcakes too!

  16. Treat:Caramel apples :) and boysenberry :) good luck all!

    love a pumpkin cake, given it’s particular looking by using fondant

  18. I adore onyx back! and mini pumpkin pies for Halloween!!! :)

  20. love the grey mixer and would be great to work with
    going to make some spooky cake pops

  21. I would absolutely love the Onyx Black or Grey :) I plan on making spider cookies and candy corn cupcakes! :D

  22. Hi Bakerella,
    another mixer giveaway means another chance for me to finally get one :) I would really love the tangerine mixer, the color really seems to pop!
    Since Halloween is not really big over here in Germany I probably won’t prepare anything special. But I really really really love anything peanutbuttery-chocolaltey-caramely so something with all of these ingredients would be a great treat.

  23. I love the tangerine mixer!!!! it will match the colour of the pumpkin that i will be using to make some pumpkin spice cookies!!

  24. I would love the Contour Silver one! I will make some simple “cookiemonster cookies”!

  27. Contour Silver! Anything pumpkin…pumpkin…pumpkin!!!!

  28. I would like to win a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer in Boysenberry.

  29. boysenberry

  31. I would choose the BOO-senberry!! Thanks, Bakerella!

  32. Boysenberry – absolutely! I am planning on making caramel pop corn, gooey – s’mores brownies, witch cake pops, and of course caramel apples!

  33. I love the Onyx Black! I’m going to make skeleton faces treat :)

  34. Onyx Black would be my color choice of mixer. it would not only complete the kitchen I just painted, but it would be amazing to win since I just moved & my Empire Red one didn’t quite make it in tact :'( It was very sad. I am hoping to make my cake pop eyeballs this year but a recent wrist surgery prevents me from hand mixing.

  35. I would love to make Cinnamon Caramel Apple Crumble cuocakes in the Tangerine mixer!

  36. I love e boyhenberry color! There are someadorablemummy cupcakes that i saw on pinterest

  37. Onyx Black is sooo beautiful!

  38. Silver – sleek and pretty….maybe it would hide all the flour I spill when baking, or maybe I just wouldn’t care……I’ll be baking and making….cake pops!

  39. I would LOVE any color but ORANGE would just pop in the kitchen! My grand kids love Haystacks, just like their Mom does.

  40. I would love the white!!! I’d like to try to make GiGi’s Caramel Cake … in Jars! Looks delish!

  41. Hi, i would love the colour Boysenberry – would go so well in my kitchen.

  42. I would go with the contour silver to make my other appliances and whip up some fresh apple fritters and pumpkin fritters

  43. I think that ghostly white would make a spooktacular prize!! I am hoping to make Jack O’Lantern cake pops this year … A step seau from the standard cookies and cupcakez :)

  44. The contour silver looks pretty sleek and I’d start with some pumpkin sugar cookies for my little guys.

  45. Boysenberry! I’m planning on some creepy cupcakes for my 5 year old’s class, and maybe something completely gross looking for my lovely coworkers!
