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 this prize to expand my supplies for my small business. I am 16 and have recently started a small baking business! I have done cakes/cookies/cupcakes/pastries for birthdays, graduations, bridal showers, etc. I pay for everything with my own money from either my sweet 16 or the profit of my last order. I really could use more tools and pans so I would really appreciate winning this. Thank you so much for sharing recipes and techniques it has benefited me and inspired me more than you can imagine.

    You have inspired me to love baking and of course i have to congratulate you on 500k!!!!!!!!

    I have made so many of your cupcakes and cakes. (American Flag cake, Rainbow cupcakes, and many more. I have never been able to decorate my cakes very well so i think that is the first thing i would do! We have birthday’s come up so i could probably make a vanilla cake with a ton of pretty decorating. I’d also love to use the cake dyes you have to make the tiers a lovely color and have a little surprise when you open up the cake! Maybe I will try the zebra effect use seen you do!

    A year ago i would have never expected my self to be baking and to love it. It’s a amazing hobby and for only being 17 i hope i can continue it!

    Thank you for taking your time to show us wonderful tutorials. They are always fun, direct, and very easy so follow!

    I would love to win this set for the following reasons: so I am 14 years old and love to bake and cook for my family. i always look at your videos which inspires me to recreate what you’ve made. its hard for me to do that though, as i dont have proper equipment such as coloring gels, an offset spatula, or even piping bags:/ so it would be amazing to win this giveaway and bake delicious treats without limits as to what i’m able to do:) CONGRATS ON 500K!

    I recently lost my job and have another child on the way….life is a little crazy. I feel like baking is not only fun, but it helps bring happiness to my family and brings us together….who doesn’t love to eat and make new creations 🙂

    September 1, 2014 at 3:03 am

    Hello!
    My family is of Southeast Asian descent and sweet desserts are not the norm in our culture. I began baking because my mother became diabetic but she loves sweets. I have been using baking tools that were leftover from students at my college when they graduated and didn’t want to bring the extra things they purchased during their four years there. If I win the kit I can create beautiful bake goods for not only my mom but my whole family.

    Congrats Jen!!! I am a recent subscriber, and I have really enjoyed watching your videos over the past couple of months. You have such great ideas and tips, and I have even made a few of your recipes so far. The Ferrero Rocher cupcakes have been my favorite so far!
