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!

    Hey Jen!!
    My cousin and I make cupcakes for every family event we have, but they aren’t very fancy or neat. With these supplies we would make fantastic cupcakes for every family event!! Your videos are really helpful, and they would definitely be our guide to great cupcakes!! Thanks!!

    Congrats on getting 500k subscribers. So, my brothers birthday s coming up and I would really like to bake something for. I want to try to bake because I have been watching a lot of baking shows and especially yours. I would really like to win this contest. I’ve never baked because I’ve never gotten the right material. I promised my brother that i would bake him some cupcakes for his upcoming birthday. Let’s just hope I win, little brother!!!

    Hello!
    I’m following your chanel for awhile now and i’m very excited for this giveaway. It’d be so amazing if i win because i live in a small city at the end of the world and while i’m currently trying to get my professional degree in bakery it’s very hard for me to get all the things that i need whitout traveling to other cities or downright importing them. So if i win, i’d start to use the kit imediatly for my classes.
    Thank you very much for this oportunity and congrats on the 500k =^_^=

    Hello Jen,
    I am one of your subscribers from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. I just recently graduated from high school and entered university. Every year at my high school we would raise money for hiv/aids, by having a cake auction. In my final year I tried to recreate your Canadian Flag Cake, which turned out to be a beautiful disaster. If I won the 500k subscriber giveaway, I would adventurous and have the top layer be Kermit the frog, the second tier be my beloved Canadian flag, the last tier being a rainbow cake with all three tier sitting on a candyland board! Jen I know that your 500k subscribers is just the beginning soon the whole world wil be #teamcookiescupcakesandcardio

    Baking is like a therapy to me. It always makes me feel better, whatever the outcome may be. I never had the right appliances to bake, all I could do is just improvise and buy the things that I can only afford.

    The baking kit that you will give, will be the most amazing present to get.

    Congratulation for reaching, 500k subs! And keep making more videos! 😀

    I love your channel and blog! I’m 16 and I would probably make a cake for my brother’s birthday! We watched the skittles came and frosting video and also the skittles cupcake video yesterday and he wanted me to make that cake for his 13th birthday. But she’s like addicted to playing minecraft and wants me to also make a minecraft cake. So I’m stuck on which to do, so I was thinking of making a minecraft cake with skittles cupcakes from your channel, I’m still figuring it out.

    But I need supplies as no one in my family bakes except my cousin and thought this contest would be great for making the cake and for me to get supplies to start making cakes or cupcakes, since it’s never to early to start. But it’s something I have always been interested in starting and this contest could be a great way for me to start. But even if I don’t win, I still can go to my cousin’s house and try to make the cake.

    Thanks for always posting the photos on you blog and videos on your channel. Keep thinking and making new ideas and GOOD LUCK!!

    Congratulations on 500k subscribers!!! I love your recipes and decorating ideas.
    Well my husband and I recently got married and in my wedding vows I promised to always make him a cake for his birthday!!
    So if I won I would make my husband a birthday cake!!! I love to bake but I’ve been unwell with health problems for the last 6 months so my husband has been missing out on wonderful home baked sweet treats, so I’m sure he would appreciate it even more than usual. And it would be a really nice way to say thank you to him for doing all the cooking and cleaning around the house while I’ve been unwell, and a great excuse for me, now that I’m feeling better to get back in the kitchen and fall in love with baking all over again.

I just wanted to say a massive thankyou to you for all of your ideas and I am hoping to now set up a cake decorating buisness. This is all thanks to you. Thank you so much. Oh, words can’t describe how lucky the world is to have you as a cupcake decorator. You are such an inspiration to so many of us. There are so many things you have made that I have tried over and over again to perfect like you have. I have not yet tried to make your skittles poke cake that you shard with Elise from My Cupcake Addition, who’s channel I had never been on before! So I think I would love to give that a crack and see how I go. Thanks so much agin Jen! You are amazing!
