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 getting 500k subscribers. This is a huge deal. Your YouTube channel inspired me and so many other people greatly. If I were to win this giveaway I would make one of the cakes that you posted it tutorial about on YouTube. I will also be so lucky to have separate baking supplies then my mom. I’m only 10 so this comes in handy. I also am into doing a lot of charity work and fundraisers so I hope that in the future I can make a cake and donate to charity. Along with that I want to do a bake sale so I can raise money to find a cure for autism. If I win this giveaway and participate in these activities I will definitely send you pictures to show you how thankful I am that I won this give away. I love the video where you had Peyton come on and she made her own birthday cake but she didn’t know. You are so kind to others. Again congrats on getting 500k subscribers and maybe you will do another giveaway at 1 million.

    Hi Jenn! Congratulations on on 500K Subscribers! You really deserve it, you are really gifted at baking. If I won the giveaway, I would make a tiered rainbow cake, with different flavors for each tier, depending on the color. For example, red- red velvet, orange- orange, etc. I hope you continue to make more videos in the future and I hope you can also make it to 1 million subscribers.

    I would love to win this for me and my girls. We love to watch your videos because we learn as a family and they have become great bakers because of the videos. What we would do is make cupcakes for 3 classrooms or more and because my birthday was last week we would also make a three tier cake and share with the school we don’t have these tools and this would keep us up to date with your next new videos. Keep up the videos they are the best out there and thank you for helping my daughters learn more than what I could teach them on my own.

    Congratulations on all of your subscribers! 🙂 I definitely want to say a huge thank you for all of your videos and you reply to some of my questions! I have had multiple sclerosis for six years and in this last year I had to stop working my job that I so desperately loved. I am on lifetime disability but I have found a new passion which is baking! 🙂 You have definitely been one of my biggest inspirations since I have starting this new life of mine. My daughter is getting married in December of this year and I would love to win the prize so that I could bake for her bridal shower! 🙂 It has been tight for us to get everything that I need for baking but my husband has been a great supporter of mine and I am looking forward to continuing on with this passion and I plan on watching all of your videos that come out to help me in the future. Please consider me for the price it would be one of the biggest honors that I have had! 🙂 melissa.mason@accuratehearing.net

    Congratulations on hitting 500,000 subscribers! I’m 14 from the uk and from a young age I have aspired to become a baker but I have never really had the right utensils to do so. I enjoy making basic family recipes with my family but I would like to take my baking experience beyond that. I sit hours on end watching baking tutorials and ideas. The first thing I would make would be some cupcakes and practise piping as I have never really tried before and on e I have the hang if things and have control of my hand I think I would make a 3 tier cake and experiment with more different and difficult designs when piping. Also I would like to make your rainbow cake for me and my family to enjoy! I really want to win to begin something with baking and potentially aspire other people to bake:)

    Hi Jen!

    Congratulations on reaching 500k subscribers, such a wonderful achievement!

    If I was lucky enough to win your awesome baking kit, first I’d be extremely excited, but then I would definitely make a 3 layered pink ombré rose cake for my mum! She has been baking me special birthday cakes such as Elmo and Nemo for years as a child, and never had such fancy and helpful tools to work with.

    I have recently developed my passion for baking cupcakes and cakes and want to surprise my mum with an amazing cake using your tools which I have been having so much trouble sourcing Wilton tools in Australia! I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learnt watching your channel with my mum, and continue our cake making legacy down the family, and your baking kit would help so very much!!

    All the best for getting your next 100k subscribers!

    Portia,

    Hi Jenn,
    Having this baking kit would mean the absolute world to me! I don’t have the money to buy these things since I am 15 and my mom can’t give me everything I ask for because of bills but… I plan to enter a contest at a community college that if I win I would get a scholarship to that colleges culinary program. This is really Important to me since one day after I graduate I would like to open my own catering company. If I am lucky enough to win this contest the first thing I would bake would be a red velvet or pound cake for my grandma since that is the first thing she taught me to bake. I love your channel and congrats on the 500k subscribers!

    I would love to try to make a two or three tiered rainbow cake. I only own one size of cake pan so I’ve never been able to do a multiple tiered cake. I’ve also never owned any gel food colours, only liquid which is not opaque enough to make a vibrant cake.

    Hi Jenn ,first of all congrats on your 500K subscribers , I’m glad to form part of your channel. The reason i would like to win this awesome giveaway is because I’m a culinary student at Pima Community College , I recently started taking cake decorating class and I’ve been loving it! Cake decorating is more than a passion it’s art . What I would do with this giveaway kit is to keep following my dreams to have my own catering business , i know that will take some time but meanwhile i want people to discover my talent and passion in cake decorating! This kit would not only help me financially but personally. Thank you Jenn for sharing your talent with us , you’re an inspiration!

    Congratulations on 500k subscribers you deserve it. I’m a stay at home mom and I recently began baking to help make ends meet but I ran into a problem because to make money I had to spend money and I couldn’t afford to get all of the things I needed. I LOVE baking but I didn’t know where to start. I came to YouTube and found your videos and they have helped so much. I made your lemon cake and I’m still getting compliments on it. If I won the first thing I would make would be a special cake for my 5 year old who starts her first day of school on Tuesday. This gift would mean so much to me and I would finally have the basics that I need to help start my business.

    Hey, sense i was little i always loved baking cakes, everyone told me how good i baked. But i got married at 16 years old and had a baby at 19. Trying to find a job is very hard and leaving my daughter is harder. Recently my mom told me of an idea that didnt sound to bad but Im still not to sure about it. Kinda scared it wont work out. She told me to start baking and decorating my own cakes to sell. That way i dont leave my daughter and im doing something i always enjoyed doing. The first thing i did was go on youtube and researched cake recipes and how to use fondant and your videos popped up. They are very helpful and i subscribered. Now im starting to buy the supplies i need which could be very expensive. If i win this contest i would be baking my brothers wedding cake. Three tier cake covered in white fondant with a light blue ribbon and gum paste blue butterflies. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
    Question: What do you think are the most important tools i need to start baking and decorating cakes?

  42. Mary Butac says
    August 31, 2014 at 11:56 pm

    Congrats on your 500k subscribes! I’d make a cheese cake with cherry pie filling on the top. But what I’d really like to make is a variety of cupcakes for fundraising. I’m saving up for a trip to somewhere I haven’t been to. It would mean a lot if I won this giveaway! Congrats again! Xoxo

    Hi!! My name is Lucia and Im from Spain 🙂 I want to win this kit because I love bakeing and there are no shops in my town where they sell bakeing tools and that stuff.
    If I win I would first bake a white cake and colour it with the Americolors to make a rainbow cake. I would assamble the cake with help of the spatula and forst it with the off set spatula and the turn table. I would roll some fondant with the fondant roller and put it over the cake. Then I would decorate the cake with the delux decorating kit. If I have any batter left I would make some rainbow cupcakes and frost and decorate them with the piping bags and the icing tip and the decorating kit as well 🙂

    HEY JEN I am a 16 year old from canada but i live in France and your channel has inspired me to make all kind of cakes and cookies which i love for example i made the oreo nutella cheese cake 2 days ago and it was delicious!! Anyway i struggle all the time to find the equipement i need to make all of those cool things i watch on your channel because i just recently moved to france and i am not familiar with all the places that sell these kind of things!! I did but a set of frosting tupes while i was in canada and i always use them!! Plus i am only a teenager and i cabt really afford to buy many things considering i have to pay my phone bill and my bus pass each month which leaves me with almost no money by the end of the month!! I am trying to save up as mich as i can but i probably wont be able to gather enough money by the end of this year!! This is why i really wish i could win the contest and it would make me the happiest person in the entire world 🙂 keep up the good work i really love your videos 🙂
