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!

    Congratulations on 500k subscribers, always a celebration! I think what I would do is definitely use the gel dyes for multi-colored frosting for cupcakes, I’ve always wanted to try duel tones. I would also want to make homemade cupcakes and sweets for my co-workers at a Michael’s store that has actually opened just yesterday, I’m sure when I find time, they’d appreciate something sweet in the break-room every so often.

    Hola Jen!!
    Soy una chica de España que sigue todas tus recetas desde hace un par de meses, y estoy asombrada con todo el trabajo que realizas. He encontrado una tienda en mi ciudad (Vigo, Galicia) que tiene muchos de los ingredientes que utilizas en tus recetas, ¡como el para mí extraño “Fluff” de marshmallows! Sería increíble conseguir este maravilloso regalo de tu parte, y así poder llevar realmente a cabo algunas de tus famosas recetas, como el “rainbow cake” o los fantásticos “Heart & Brain Cupcakes”. Y como trabajar con fondant siempre me dio miedo, sería una estupenda forma de probarlo.

    Enhorabuena por todo el trabajo que realizáis, ¡es magnífico!

    Hey Jen! Congratulations on achieving 500,000 subscribers! I am not surprised, as I think you and your videos are amazing! I often refer to them in my creative baking projects for recipes, techniques, and inspiration!

    If I won this contest, I would use them to conduct “Make it/Take it” classes at my local senior center! Age is but a number and, for me, baking if often therapy! I think it would be great for them to be able to bake once again and show their creativity and then get to eat it too!

    Thanks again for this great contest! Congratulations!

    Cindi

    Hello Jen! Congrats on the 500k sub thats a lot of people! Haha.
    I really like baking but it is such a expensive hobby 🙁 i often have to improvise because i lack the necessary tools like cake tin or even a rolling pin. I often bake my cakes with round aluminium trays and many other more cheap examples. So those items from your giveaway really makes my heart flutter hehe.
    If i won i can finally bake a legit cake. Haha! I’ve always been wanting to try and make something salted caramel and would die to make a salted caramel cake. And just the other day i came across some recipe on earl grey tea cake. Wow it sounds nice. Hahaha.
    Once again thanks and congrats Jen ! 😀

I would make my birthday cake with one of My friends and do a 2 teir blu and turquoise can with piping designs and flowers on top. I would be so happy to win this, but would be happy for the people wo got it
    God bless and good luck to everyone!

    Congrats! Your ideas and innovative tricks got you to the 500k girl. Keep it up! I creep here and there to your channel to basically tease myself because every time I’m in the mood to bake, I never have the right ingredients or tools. With those beautiful tools, I would bombard my sister with a crapload of “Welcome Home” cupcakes, cakes & cookies. She is in the Air Force doing training for another section in the field and of course I miss her. I would still do it if I didn’t win but it would be awesome. I tell ya that much. Anyway this is getting really long so congrats once again and thank you fool helping me tease myself haha.

    Hi Jenn! 🙂 I love love love your baking! You are such an inspiration to me and my YouTube channel, which is currently at 1.6k subs and I also bake! But not nearly as good as you! 🙂 If I won, I would be able to make more recipes that include frosting because of that deluxe decorating kit! I’d also be able to make more cakes with those cake pans! I hope I win! It would help me grow my channel more! Can’t wait to see you grow your channel to 1M and more! Some specific things I would make are more apple-based cakes because those are soo good! I’d also try to make some sort of cupcake recipe, since I’d have that deluxe decorating kit! My youtube channel is http://www.youtube.com/aniaschoices if you were wondering!
