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 would use my new kit to make my daughter’s first birthday cake in october. I absolutely love watching your videos. I’ve actually done some of your cakes but I lack the funds to be able to decorate as good. So I use zip lock bags.

    I would love to bake more cakes for my family and be brave enough to finally try to decorate using fondant

    hi! you guys have been such an inspiration to me! I’ve tried lots of your recipes and they are all so delicious! if i were to win i would love to make a beautiful cake for my aunts birthday, i would do that because of the impact she has made in my life. it would mean a lot if i could at least do something in return for how much she has dome for me.

    First of all, congratulations on 500K!!! Your videos are truly amazing, you deserve so many more. Thanks for this amazing opportunity, whoever wins will be very lucky and i’m sure you’ll make them happy. The reason i would like to win this kit is because i absolutely love cupcakes. Love to bake em, love to eat em, love to share em. My friends are always asking me to bake them some cupcakes, whenever there’s an event or someone’s birthday is coming i go and bake bake bake. But lately, i haven’t been able to do that. I live in Venezuela, i don’t know if you have heard about any of the problems going on here, but basically the reason why i can’t bake anymore is because i can’t find the materials. From basics like flour, sugar and butter, to more frivolous stuff like food coloring and sprinkles. I’m even scared to use my liners because i know that when they’re over, i won’t find more. Or if i do, they’ll be too expensive to afford. My dream is also to open a cupcake store. We don’t have any here, so maybe it could work out. But i have a lot of improving to do if i want to sell my cupcakes, i know they’re not thaaat good. This kit would really help me in ways that for many seem silly, but for me it’s not. I would finally have a pipping bag!! I’ve been using zip-locks all this time, and c’mon who can make a pretty cupcake with that. Then the food coloring; infinite possibilities! Rainbow cupcakes, halloween and christmas decorations! 300 liners! That could work for the whole year if i use them wisely. The pans would be a perfect gift for my mom that’s more into cakes. That’s what i would do with it, and that’s why i really want to win.

    Again, thank you for this amazing opportunity, and good luck to everyone!!

    Congrats! 500k Subscribers are a lot of viewers and now all you have to do is hit 100k for your silver play button! YAY! I would love to win this for my wedding in November. I plan to make a red velvet wedding cake (based on your 3-part series) with white fondant and red roses with green ivy rolling off the side. I currently don’t have the right cake supplies for this endeavor and this would be an awesome wedding gift. Thank you for all that you do, Jen. Baking is so much fun!

  10. Mary says
    September 1, 2014 at 1:34 am

    I would use those supplies to make a cake for my babyy sisters who are 12,11,9 and, 7 there birthdays are all within a three month span because i guess my parents got lucky. So each year we have one gigantic birthday party to celebrate all of there birthdays at once but they still all get there own cake. I know for a fact that the 9 year old, meghan, would like a seven layer chocolate cake with chocolate ganache so i know i would be making that.

      September 1, 2014 at 2:20 am

      Hi jenn,
      I’m Mikki and I’m 13. I am just starting to officially bake on my own,though I have been baking since I was really little. (Which is how I got my nick name baby Crocker because I have always had this passion.) Anyway if I won this contest I would make my grandfather a birthday cake for his 68th bday. He is always challenging me in the kitchen and I’d love to say thanks. I would also make this really cool Halloween cake for my family. I currently don’t have a lot to bake with so it mostly plain cupcakes.But congrats on your 500k subscribers you deserve it. I enjoy watching your videos so thank you.

  16. Lexi Brock says
    September 1, 2014 at 1:29 am

    Hi Jenn!
    I’m Lexi! I’m 14 years old and I love too bake! Btw – I check my email ever night to see if any of your videos pop up! You are sush an inspiration to your 500,000 subscribers! Congrats on that!! 🙂 you make beautiful and amazing cakes and cupcakes and everything. I’m a big cupcake and cake maker. If I won this set by any chance… I would most definitely make a gum ball machine cake! I’ve always wanted to make that because I love gum balls and cakes. I fell that I’m not a great experienced baker without all the equipment and I think it would be wonderful to have all of it. My second cake I would make is a beautiful house cake. I’ve never seen it done before but it would be so fun to have a whole house. It would makeall the difference if I had your tools!
    Thank you again for inspiring me to become a baker like you when I grow up and I’m excited to be a young baker!

    Congrats again!

    September 1, 2014 at 1:27 am

    Congrats on reaching 500K subscribers!! That’s really awesome and i love all of your creations. They all look really cool and simple to make. I really love baking and i’m also a huge nerd. I’m the Vice President of my college’s gaming club and we are going to be hosting a bunch of bake sales throughout the school year. For one of our bake sales I would love to make a bunch of Justice League cupcakes and the fondant roller as well as the americolor gel paste, cupcake liners and 1M piping tip would really help me with that. Also my best friend has a birthday in a couple of months and she absolutely loves zebra print and the color pink. I was thinking of using your pink zebra cake recipe to make her birthday cake and the cake pans would be perfect for it. I would also like to say that you have inspired me a lot to really pick up baking and I can see your hardwork and passion for it in your videos. In the future I hope to start my own YouTube Channel with a couple of my friends and spread my love for baking and everything nerd like you and so many others do. Thank you so much for bringing out the passion in me.

      First congratulations and 2nd I would bake a hummingbird cake for my grandma’s birthday. She’s going to be 74 in October and is a beast cancer survivor! I gave up everything to take care of her when she moved here I was only 20. I gave up college and my social life for her and it is ALL worth it! Staying home with her I picked up the hobby of baking and she loves to be my taste tester and make little packages to send them off to her friends. My grandma is my world and my best customer! So with that I hope that if I don’t get picked you at least got a smile out of my comment!

    If I won, I would expand my baking designs to their fullest. I have a huge passion for cupcake designing and have started to work on cake designing as well, I just don’t have the money or equipment. So, winning would mean so much to me because I’d have some of the basic tools I’d need to make some amazing designs! (:

  30. Elizabeth Torres says
    September 1, 2014 at 1:18 am

    Hey Jenn I am super happy for you that you reached 500000 and that I love baking and I just can’t get enough of it and I am 13 years old and every day I want to try to make something new but really don’t have the proper tools too because I can’t really afford them . And what I would make with this kit is that I would love to make something really special but I’m just an apprentice baker and my parents can’t really afford to buy me a lot of baking tools and materials that I would need to make an awesome cake but I have made a few simple cakes and 1 pie with what I have but not really anything out of the box and if I won that whole kit I would make something really out of the box and crazy that really represents me and my personality. And I would send you an awesome picture of it to show you my awesome creation. I would probably put a lot of crazy patterns , colorful bows, colorful mustaches of different types and make each layer of cake one of my favorite colors on it which are light blue , light pink and light purple. And also I would make the cake about my life and I would also probably put the Puerto Rican flag and the British flag on my cake because that is what I am and who I will always be. So if I win this prize I will be very grateful because you are my favorite you tuber and you make some awesome and pretty creations that I would like to learn!! So this would mean so much to me if I won this prize giveaway !!!!
