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 have recently learnt how to make my own fondant icing from scratch, equipment like this would able me to do so in a easier way, as well as making it in beautiful colours! With this equipment i would make a 1st birthday for my little sister , and prove to my dads fiancé that i can make cakes to a GREAT standard!

    I would love to make a colorful three tiers cake..
    Here in oslo, Norway (the nr. 1 expensive city) there is hard to find baking supplies and stuff. And if we do find some then they are way to expensive.

    Hi Jenn! Congrats on 500K subscribers-you deserve it 🙂 I would use the kit to make more elaborate cakes for my parents’ birthdays, anniversaries, etc., because in the past, all I’ve had access to are ziplock bags to frost cakes/cupcakes and it doesn’t always turn out that great. I’ve always been a very artistic and creative person when it comes to drawing, painting and sculpting but because I don’t have access to cake decorating items, its hard to transfer that creativity to when I bake and I would love to change that. 🙂

I have a dream to become a baker where I open up a small business that I can run with my family as they are all great bakers. Telling people my dream has meant that I have been called gay or fag which hasn’t put me off this dream.

    What I would do if I received those amazing utensils is I would;
    1- make 300 red velvet cup cake with a yellow buttercream topping using the 1M tip
    2- make a three tier cake to layers chocolate cake one layer Victoria sponge cake covered in a two tone purple and blue buttercream smoothed done with the cake spatula.
    3- send you pictures of it all.

    One last thing I love your videos you are my role model and have inspired me to try make so much. I would be great full to receive those lovely utensils but if not you have already gifted me with your videos.

    I’ve recently learnt how to make fondant, so this would be great for that. As well as taking a catering and hospitality course, it would enable me to prove my decorating skills that i have – during assessments – and that is what i am best at and feel that i can greatly improve with an opportunity like this!

  18. Adela Sanchez says
    August 31, 2014 at 10:18 pm

    While my “specialty” is decorated sugar cookies, I recently joined a group of wonderful volunteers that bake cakes FOR FREE for needy children and seniors in my town. It is this group’s mission that no child or senior citizen go without a cake on their special day. These items, especially the cake pans, would be put to great use!

Between each layer i put frosting and cupcakes then i top it off with more cupcakes. I really hope i win. I love experimenting with different kinds of cake.

      Hey Jenn! Congrats on 500K! I’ve always loved baking, but sometimes my baking supplies aren’t in the budget, so if I won this contest, I would use it to make my mom a big cake, since I am never able to do so. Thank you soooo much for teaching me all your tips and tricks, and have a nice day!

      Congratulations on your 500k subscribers! I love to bake it is fun but I don’t have that much baking supplies to make fun decorative cupcakes and cakes. If I do get the prize I will make a strawberry cake covered white frosting for my whole family to celebrate the new and fun baking supplies. Thank you so much for reading this 🙂

I have made so many of your bakes such as rainbow cake, pink zebra cake (but blue for my dad!), cookie in a cup and soo many more but I won’t bore you with all of them!

    Hi Jenn! Congratulations on 500k subscribers!! Youʻre such an inspiration to me! I am 16 years old and Iʻve had a passion for baking since I was 4 years old. Helping my grandma make box cupcakes was the highlight of my childhood. Easy Bake oven was my favorite toy to play with since I couldnʻt use a regular oven. For the past couple of years Iʻve started to progress in my decorating. Iʻve made cookies for my auntyʻs baby shower, making royal icing transfers of baby simbas face. And Iʻve made many other cookies just for fun! (Minion cookies, ducks, flowers, butterflies, etc) This summer I really took a leap with my decorating and baking. My uncles birthday was in July, he really likes the character Olaf from Frozen. So, being that he loves Olaf, I made him a “hot tub” cake with Olaf and his little buddy inside the hot tub.I made Olaf and his buddy from fondant. I also made my two baby cousins cakes; one WWE wrestling cake and a baptism cake! My family and friends believe in me and support me so much, but I do not have all the supplies that I need because I canʻt afford it. Winning this giveaway would provide me with the tools to expand my knowledge and skill in decorating. Being a senior in high school I don’t have a lot of money to buy all the tools I need. Being that the competition ends on September 30, I would most likely make a cake in August! With these tools/materials in the giveaway I would make my baby cousins first birthday cake! I would most likely make a pull-a-part cupcake cake or a tiered cake! Not too sure what the theme of the birthday is but I know that I would definitely use either the pans or the cupcake liners. If I were to make the tiered cake I would color my homemade fondant with the AmeriColors and use the fondant rollers. But for either cake I would use the piping bags (with the rubber bands), utilize the piping tips in the deluxe decorating kit, and the spatula to frost the cakes! Thank you so much for this opportunity, I hope you choose me! But if not, another lucky baker will definitely be happy!

    I am a baker, I’ve made my brothers and my birthday cakes for a couple of years now and I love it. I bake in my spare time a lot as a hobbie. My birthday is coming up at the end of October and for my cake I was thinking of doing an Alice in Wonder Land theme cake & cupcakes. I don’t have a lot of equipment to do this and it would not only be an honner to win but also a big help.
    I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

    Firstly, congratulations on 500,000 subscribers! Secondly, I would have to say I’d make rainbow cupcakes using the liners and the americolor gel paste food colouring. I’ve made a rainbow layer cake before but I’ve always wanted to do rainbow cupcakes. I’ve seen other bakers using americolor and I love how vibrant you’re able to get the colours! And to finish it off I would pipe a 1m swirl using your vanilla buttercream recipe 🙂

    I think this giveaway is a great idea. This way people can recreate some of the things you have been teaching us. I myself have a baking channel called sweetalisous, with the logo of a cupcake. Please check out my channel and subscribe. If I were to win this giveaway I would make my parents an amazing three tier birthday cake. Along with some stunning cupcakes. This would be amazing because I usually make a cake and frost it. This year I would be able to decorate it. It would be a great help if I win your giveaway because I do not have very many decorating supplies. I hope I win.

    Hi! First of all, congratulations on all of your subscribers, you really deserve them after all the hard work you’ve put into your channel which I visit both for education and entertainment purposes! ^O^

    I’m a young girl from England and I absolutely adore baking. Already, I’m sifting my way into more complicated cakes, brownies, cookies and all of that good stuff. I especially like cooking cultural dishes! Though money is always tight so I’d definitely be grateful and hard at work should I surprisingly win anything.

    So if given the chance, I’d bake a big chocolate cake for my other half. We both love chocolate and his Birthday is in November, giving me a little time to practice. You know what they say anyway… “the best way to a man’s heart, is through his stomach”! I’d also do a lot more if allowed the liberty though 🙂

    Thank you! x (Sorry for the long comment). 😀

    I’ve never had white cake before and ever since hearing DiCaprio say, “Now gentlemen, if you care to join me in the parlor we will be serving white cake.” in Django: Unchained I have been wanting to try it. So naturally, that will be the first thing I make should I be chosen as the winner.

    After the white cake, I will make EVERY recipe that has been posted on this site (as of Auguest 31, 2014). It may take a while, but it WILL be done. I will document such a journey on my YouTube channel to prove that I have stayed true to my word.

    (Aw, heck, I might just do all this anyway. It’d just be great to do it with brand new cooking ware)

    I am a 13 year old baker (I have parents permission) and I’ve been wanting to make a cake with fondant, but I haven’t had the tools to do so. This kit would make it so I could start practicing! The first thing I’d make is a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting for my mom’s birthday:) Congrats on on 500k!!!

    i would make my parents a special wedding cake with matching cupcakes it would have fondant details and be one of your recipes for cake and maybe royal icing from your video for the cupcakes it would be chocolate and vanilla filled with a cream cheese filling and a cream cheese icing on top using the 1M tip!!
