CONTEST CLOSED 500K Subscriber Contest- Baking Kit Giveaway!

August 31, 2014 by Jenn

We recently passed 500 thousand subscribers on our YouTube channel, and I am completely humbled and honoured that we accomplished this!  Paul and I work alone in our kitchen, only a team of two people.  We come up with ideas, film, edit, and upload the videos all on our own.  Without any help along the way, we have relied on our YouTube subscribers to carry us along and become successful online.  It has been an amazing journey, and my sights are set on 500K more!!  

To thank our subscribers, I went shopping on a weekend trip to Spokane.  I was in my happy place getting to buy all of these fun cake supplies!  I chose some of my favourite baking tools that I use everyday while making cakes and cupcakes. 

Included in the giveaway are the following prizes:

  • Round baking pan (set of four pans)
  • Fondant roller
  • 1M icing tip
  • 24 piping bags
  • piping bag elastic ties
  • 300 cupcake liners
  • Cake spatula
  • Deluxe decorating kit (offset spatula, tips, coupler, icing bags)
  • 8 Americolor gel paste colours
  • Cake Turntable

This contest is open worldwide to subscribers of Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio’s YouTube channel. 

Please leave a comment regarding what you will make first if you win this baking kit.

You must leave a valid email address and the winner will be contacted on September 30, 2014!  The winner will have 24 hours to contact us with a mailing address, or we will choose another winner.  The winner will be chosen using random draw.  

baking contest

Good luck to all, and THANK YOU for being subscribers!

    I’ve been wanting to make a candy and cupcake table, for a kids themed birthday party, since the beginning of the year. I mean everything u can think of on a candy, cupcake table. Cake pops, cupcakes, cake, chocolate covered Oreos, different chocolate covered fruits…chocolate covered Rice Krispies treat sticks. Everything sounds good and I just want to rush right into the baking, but when I went to purchase all the things I would need…it was over $200. Not as bad as it sounds I guess. So far I buy things that I need, little at a time, but at the pace I’m going.. My candy and cupcake table will just be something I only want to do but actually never will. I have friends and family saying that I should and they know I can, but spending over $200 on the tools I’ll need, I can’t do all at once right now. My original plan was to make a table for a family member birthday, and if everything was a success…from there I would make more cupcakes and cake pops… And from there making business cards… And continue to grow. Baking goods is something I love to do, and if I win this contest, that would definitely be the first thing I made for someone. Thanks so much for coming up with this contest to help other bakers as yourself=))

Its gonna be my cousins aunts but her wedding is a long long way from. now it would have 2 or maybe 3 layers for each tier and I would decorate it with chocolate frosting swirl maybe and a bird made out of modeling chocolate since she loves chocolate but the cake would be just vanilla. I hope I win

    August 31, 2014 at 5:06 pm

    Hi Jenn and Paul! First off congratulations on 500,000 subscribers! That is huge and very well deserved!

    I’m going to keep this sweet and short because I tend to ramble a lot. If I won this contest the first thing I would make would be an ombré layered cake, perhaps in the pink shades, covered in white buttercream frosting! I’ve been imagining this cake for a long time and have planned out how I would make it and decorate it! I’ve always wanted to make a layered cake as they look so cool yet are surprisingly very simple! They really are impressing and look like a lot of fun to make 🙂

    Thank you for holding this giveaway, it really gives a chance for those who can’t get their hands on baking equipment to get some! Here in Israel its hard to find a lot of baking equipment, and the ones you find are quite expensive!

    CONGRATS once again!

    Shir 🙂

    August 31, 2014 at 5:03 pm

    I would invite my friend Julie over to bake something colourful together. Her boyfriend is very sick at the moment and she spends a lot of her free time at the hospital. That’s why I would love to distract her for a few moments and see her smile again. I’d love to see her regaining some energy around friends to help her to get through this difficult time.

  43. Alyssa Rosario says
    August 31, 2014 at 5:03 pm

    Wow, I could definitely make so many desserts for the holidays with such equipment! First, I’d make another cake for my grandpa, he’s been wanting another for a while now. As soon as the holidays come by, I’d absolutely try using fondant to top a pumpkin spice or hot chocolate cake. My family will be expecting me to “show off” what I’ve learned in my first few months at culinary school, so your giveaway would help so much! Also, keep up the good work, Jenn!

  44. Theresa reed says
    August 31, 2014 at 5:02 pm

    Congrats Jenn!

    I love watching your tutorials. I get lots of help and ideas from you. If I were to win this cake package I will make my niece a baby shower cake..(and of course I would post pics on your facebook) she is having her first baby this December! Thanks for all you inspiration!

    Best of wishes,

    Theresa

    Hi Jen congratulations on reaching 500K! Thank you for giving me and all your other followers the opportunity to win all these amazing baking items. You asked what I would do with all these cool things? Well I would start off with making a four tiered caked with the cake pans… the first tier would be a rainbow cake using the americolor gel paste and decorate using the turntable and piping equipment just like the petal tip like you did on the rainbow cake (the piping bags and ties would really help). The second tier would be a rosette cake using the 1M tip in ombre colours using the americolor gel pastes guided by your video on how to create the 1M swirl. The third tier would be my favourite vanilla recipe of yours which I use every time and would decorate with fondant flowers and roses using the fondant roller and americolor pastes.And finally the last tier would be red velvet recipe of yours decorated like a cupcake bouquet using all the wonderful paper liners and tips and colours to decorate… all of which are made using the cake spatula also!Not forgetting this is definately not the only project i would create with these amazing things! I am 13 years old and have a passion for baking which is why I appreciate channels like yours because I can bake and create things that you do! Since i started baking I have saved up my dinner money to buy things so I am so happy I have this opportunity. Thank you.

      Hi Jenn! Congratulations on the 500k subscribers. So, if I were to be the winner of the giveaway I would use it to bake a big 3 tier cake for my dad. On October he’s going to retire after 30 years of being a doctor, and he’s organizing this big fancy party and I think it could be an amazing thank you gift.

      Love from Mexico,
