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 love your site and appreciate you sharing your Greer recipes. I have learned so much. I am writing about the contest. I am disabled but I told my doctor that my goal is to decorate cakes and cupcakes and I love cake pops. I enjoy when you give reviews on different items to buy. If I won an item I would love the cake pans. I have purchased all the other items except the 1M tip. My daughter -in -law had a baby shower and no one showed up. She cried. I would love to bake a layer cake for her. I have bought 8 inch and a 9 inch I have have bought Wilton tips and ateco tips but like I said I don’t have the 1M tip.

    Congrats on your subscribers! Awesome seeing a fellow Canadian having success on Youtube. If I won the giveaway, I’d love to make a Arctic/polar bear themed cake. I find them fascinating considering they are the largest living carnivores on the planet and they’re all over Canada! Also because I believe we need to protect them rather than locking them up.

    Would definately start diving into all the crazy flavors of cup cakes and cakes you never see like a chocolate / Matcha marble cake … just could finally start experimenting with sweets. My Boyfriend is into savory food but I’m more into finding new sweet flavors that sound amazing together a lot of asian flavors just spark my mind even breads with sweet fillings. Could go so far with this kit especially with a niece and nephew and my friend’s daughter all wanting to be helpful in the kitchen.

    Congratulations!
    For my cake i would attempt to create a 3 tiered topsy turvy cake in the theme of Alice in Wonderland (as it was mine and my mothers favourite tale). The bottom layer would be covered with pink and purple fondant stripes and 2 big fondant eyes to represent the Cheshire Cat. The middle layer would have black and red coloured icing piped into a checkered design for the check board and finally the top layer would be basic green with the mad hatters logo (10/6) created out of fondant too. To top the cake i would bake a small cupcake and pipe a simple swirl in green buttercream and decorate with a small teapot shaped cookie to represent the Mad Hatters Tea party! I hope you like my simple yet quirky idea as much as i do !

    Hello and congratulations from Germany! 🙂
    I love baking cakes and cupcakes which are having many different colours in batter and frosting and I love decorating them. I think the first thing I would do would be baking any cake or cupcake with the food colouring. I am searching now for a long time the Americolor Gel pastes because they have bright colours with only a few drops but they are really hard to find in Germany and the food colouring which we have in Germany is really bad 😀 because I am still going to school it only makes it harder because all the great stuff for baking is available in America or Canada or Australia but shipping it to Europe is really expensive so I will use this chance to win them. 🙂
    Greetings and go on with the great and really great tasting recipies! 🙂

This kit would help massively with the 4 tier birthday cake we are making for her sister for her 18th birthday so please choose me it would help us massivley and improve our skills into being the best we can be . Thanks for reading my comment and congratulation on the 500k subscribers keep up the great work 🙂

    Have a 15th Anniversary coming up in few weeks, so I would make my first attempt at a 4-tier cake for my husband using the same colors as our wedding cake from so very long ago. Pink and Purple….not a very manly choice for a husband, but it’s the nostalgia and thought that counts, right?! 😉

  41. Mayra Camilia says
    August 31, 2014 at 9:00 pm

    Hey! It’s really awesome you reached 500k! So so cool ☺
    Well, the first thing i’d do with the baking kit would be a strawberry cheesecake for my best friend’s birthday. I’m sure she’d love it 🙂
