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!

    Hi! If I win the kit the first thing I would make is a 3-layered cake for my little sister. I always make my sister a cake for her birthday, but this year I am making her a frozen cake and with the kit it could help me make that cake that she will love.

    Hi Jen,
    Congratulations on 500k subscribers !!! If I owned these baking necessities I would definitely put them to good use, my sister and I have a dream to open a cake shop but we haven’t actually had the motivation nor baking needs to achieve that dream. If I won this giveaway I would make a zebra cake 🙂

    Hello my name is Kylar. I am really inspired by your videos. I watch them until i go to sleep. I am a senior in high school and i wanted to pursue a career in baking. I would love to make professional cakes and cupcakes for friends and family to get a business started. The first thing i would try is a cheetah print cake, or a rainbow layered cake.

    And Congrats on the 500K!

    Hiiiii, I’m thirteen and I have been watching your videos for a year now you was my inspiration to baking!! I’ve tried baking nearly all of you recipes but my attempts never seem to go the why I planned , and with the giveaway I’ll have better luck because I would be using the same equipment you use !!

    Well congrats on the subscribers! My daughter and I love to watch your videos together 🙂 well if I were to win this, It would definitely help me out with more practice on tiered cakes. Also I would start doing more cupcakes! My “cakes” that I have done for family members usually come out like the common “homemade” cake…I don’t know if you know what I mean but it’s always sloppy >_< this would definitely motivate me to keep trying! I have loved to bake since I was very small and recently have been baking more often.

    First off I just want to say congrats to whoever wins(: second I just really want to win because I love to bake I’m almost 13 and I’d love to start my own baking business (even though you may think I’m really young.) I’ve been baking since I remember. And I would love to experience more into the baking world and try new things. This all would help so much! It would help my family because of the tight budget, and would also help me become better at would I love. I don’t mean to complain but this would be amazing to win! Thank you for this opportunity and congratulations to 500k! You’re videos are amazing and I can see why you have reached so many subscribers! And my favorite video is definitley… Them all!! Thank you again for this absolutely amazing opportunity! Good luck everyone!!

    HEY! CONGRATS ON YOUR 500 K (;
    i AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU, I JUST RECENTLY STARTED WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL AND NOW I WANT TO START BAKING. I WOULD BAKE A 3 TIER CAKE WITH 3 DIFFERENT DESIGNS FOR EACH CAKE, ON THE TOP IT WOULD BE HEARTS ALL OVER WITH PINK FROSTING AND THE FONDANT WOULD BE WHITE, AND THE SECOND CAKE WOULD BE BLACK WITH CANDY RINESTONES! YUM LOL AND THE THIRD WOULD BE GREEN AND BLUE HUGE FONDANT FLOWERS AND THE FONDANT ON THE THIRD CAKE WOULD BE YELLOW. I CAN’T WAIT TO BAKE IT, WITH THE HELP OF YOUR EASY BAKING, I THINK I CAN DO IT LOL IF I WON THIS PRIZE, ID BE SUPER EXCITING (:

    August 31, 2014 at 11:03 pm

    Hello!:) First off I’d just like to congratulate you on 500K!!! That is so amazing! And it is so incredibly sweet of you to do this giveaway 🙂 If I won this awesome set of tools the possibilities for what I would create would be endless. I am a 17 year old aspiring pastry chef who one day dreams of having my own bakery where I will specialize in specialty cakes and cupcakes. I do already have some equipment of my own from when I took wiltons cake decorating classes but having all of this would really help me out a ton! This kit would help me when holidays come around and I make my 10 year old sisters class cupcakes, when people in my community come to me for a cake I do not have all the proper tools for, for bake sales for my brothers middle school, my best friends’ surprise cakes that are over the top 🙂 , and it would allow me to create more cakes for my personal portfolio. I know this contest is huge and there are a lot of other people who do not have any tools but I promise, if I do win every single piece of this set would be put to great use. Thank you again so much for doing this giveaway!

    Hey Jenn!
    Two years ago I went off to college to get my degree in pastry arts and become a pastry chef. Little did I know I would end up having to drop out because I became very ill. In the midst of that chaos I met a chef who will become my husband on December 20th of this year!!! The first thing I would make would be our wedding cake and all the cupcakes that go with it. The next thing I would make is the superman cake and kryptonite cupcakes on December 22 which is my fiances 21 birthday!!! 🙂

    Hi Jen,

    I don’t know if you’ll get the chance to read so many comments, but in the chance, just want to say I’m a new sub and I fell in love with your infectious smile and sweet demeanor! I was thrilled to pieces when I viewed your Nanaimo bar vid. I was born in Nanaimo!:-) So I began to wonder, if in fact, you were from BC? Then I watched the hiking/baking videos (kind of watching backwards! Newest to oldest) wow! BC’er!!!!!:-) It is very easy to understand 500,000 subs!
    If I win, I would bake my son, turning 29, the most impressive cake I could! He is so selfless and longsuffering,
    And patient! He has carried me through some very routh times.
    Thank you, for brightening our lives with your sunshine and talents!:-)
    Catherine

    Hey Jen, Congradulations!!!!!!!!. My name is Jamie and I’m 17, turning 18 October 17th and am currently a senior in high school. I really love baking, it is my life. I am always trying to find a reason to bake and when I do it makes me really happy because I get to watch other people appreciate something I created. I do plan on attending culinary school for baking and pastries and I am so excited to. I am currently taking a culinary class and I love every minute of it, even the test because the more I learn and the better I do the more confidence I will have entering college. Finally I would like to say that I love watching your videos and seeing you create all different kinds of things that I would love to create. It was especially cute when you made that frozen cake with your niece Elsa because I love my nieces and I haven’t been able to see them in a long time but I get to possibly this Christmas and it will be my niece Jaylynns 7th birthday and I would love to make her a cake. Also if I was able to win I would use the multiple round cake pans to make a 3 tier cake for my 18th birthday.

    I would actually use it to teach my nephew how to bake. He wanted to learn how to use different techniques last summer and then he was diagnosed with leukemia. So the baking was no longer a priority, he’s doing a lot better now, although he still has many hospital appointments and he balances everything with high school. We have had short conversations about different projects but do not have a lot of tools. If he were to have this bakeware I am positive he would venture into baking.and also i would love to bake my mom dads 25thanniversary cake

    August 31, 2014 at 10:49 pm

    Hi Jenn,
    Greetings from New Zealand. This is an amazing giveaway. The first thing I would make would be an ombre layered cake
    with butter cream rosettes that cover the entire outside of the cake. I am most excited about the cake turntable. Presently I use a large pan upside down on my table with a pizza pan on top which can spin around . It works okay and I have successfully iced cakes this way but having a turntable would be such a luxury.

    If I was to win ….I would use this kit to make my daughter first birthday cake. I haven’t decided on a theme I’m between to like a winter wonder land or My little pony’s… I can’t decided so I think I will ask my husband next time I’m able to speak to him. Unfortunately he is deployed at the moment and will miss her first birthday, Christmas, our birthday and our wedding anniversary. Buts that’s getting of topic hope to win and love the videos!
