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!

Also i would like to bake a cake for my family because well they are family and theres nothing more you can say about family,these cakes would represent the love and affection they’ve given me all these years and the baking would never have happened without them!!!

    If I win this contest, I will attempt to recreate the big rainbow cake. It was the first video I had ever seen from your channel. I’ve seen it so many times I memorize it! With the new baking tools it would be a lot easier to recreate 🙂

    Congrats on getting to 500k, so if I was to win all these fab baking goodies I would make your Oreo cake first as my 6 yr old really wants it then I would make my 4 yr old a rainbow cake. ( my little pony style) lol my eldest is 13 and loves any cake so I am lucky there. All my kids have ASD and baking and decorating is very calming for them.

    September 1, 2014 at 12:37 pm

    Hi Jenn I first would like to congratulate you on 500k subscribers ( me being one for almost 2 years). The day I subscribed to your channel was the best day ever, I was so excited when you posted videos because all of your videos are just simply great looking and decorative. I just wanted to say that I LOVE baking and I always bake cakes for my family or friends or even just school events. One time for school I backed and decorated a dinosaur cake which is my house mascot and as a result of this WONDERFUL cake I received a very significant award from my principal. If I was to win this lovely package from you I would next like to bake my brothers 18th birthday cake or my cousins 6th birthday. Winning this package will hopefully give mW the chance to decorate wonderful cakes like you. All the best for the future.

    Awesome contest! If I was lucky enough to be the winner, I would bake my mother a “Thank You” cake. She’s been a huge baker for as long as I can remember and always made me the most amazing cakes growing up. She even made my wedding cake! I would love to be able to show her my sencere appreciation and admiration by making her an amazing cake in return.

    First of all congrats for more than 500k subscribers! !
    If I win those items, i would make a cake for my whole family . I’m only 16 years old and i don’t earn money so i can’t buy baking supplies and things like that. I love baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes. I just made a batman cake for my cousins birthday on august 17th. I had to use things I had at home and it was very difficult but she was very excited about her cake !
    Greetings from Germany 🙂

    Hi, I would just like to congratulate you on reaching 500,000, I have only been baking for a year or two and have got the basic equipment but would love to win this competition. if for some reason I won I would probably try and improve my red velvet cake and would love to practise more on the decoration, like piping, and experimenting with icing as this would definitely help me with my gcse in food technology

    September 1, 2014 at 12:06 pm

    Hi! A MASSIVE congratulations on 500k! I love the chanel and i have tried so many of your recipes, at the moment I go to school to be a baker and my dream is to move to England or the US and to open a little bakery there. My dream is to make beautiful cupcakes and wedding cakes so that’s what I would do with the set. I would create a classy wedding cake with a rainbow and chocolate filling because who doesn’t love chocolate? And since I’m still in school and live in Sweden it isn’t as easy to get a hold on good products and if you do it’s super expensive so it would help a lot 🙂

I want to make really detailed piping so this would help trimendously i have been a subscriber ever since and i watch your videos everyday! You give so many great tips and ideas! Thanks so much!

  40. Charlotte says
    September 1, 2014 at 11:59 am

    (Soz just forgot to add what I would do with the cake decorating things) what I would do with the cake decorating kit would be to start to have some more detail in my cakes because I have never had a piping bag with tips and I always used to use a zip lock bag. So if I won this contest it would be amazing to have all of this stuff because I really want to be a professional baker when I am older (I’m only 11) thank you for all the great recipes.
    Love charlotte

    Ps congrats on you 500k subs

  41. Laura says
    September 1, 2014 at 11:59 am

    Congratulations for your 500,000 subscribers, you deserve it, your recipes are amazing, everything looks delicious.
    If If win this contest I would probably give this kit to my little sister she loves baking and dreams about kits like this one, but can’t afford it.
    If she ever let me use it I would make your Oreo cake, it looks awesome !
    Kisses from France

  42. Lauren says
    September 1, 2014 at 11:58 am

    Congratulations on 500,000 subscribers! 🙂
    If I won this amazing baking kit I would make a flower pot cake.
    I would first make three chocolate cakes using the cake pans, then pipe chocolate icing (Using the piping bags and ties) on the top of each one and stack them together to make a three layer cake.
    I would then trim down my cake on an angle to make a flower pot shape.
    Next, I would use the gel food colouring to colour some fondant a terra cotta colour, then roll it out using the fondant rolling pin.
    After that, I would apply my fondant to my cake, the cut a thin strip of fondant to make the rim of the pot.
    Next, I would pipe some more chocolate icing on top of the cake.
    Using the rolling pin, I would crush chocolate biscuits to make the “soil”, then sprinkle them on top, with the icing acting like glue.
    With the star tip attached to the piping bag, I would them pipe roses on top with red icing, coloured using the gel food colouring and finally, I would pipe green leaves around the red roses as the final touches to my flower pot cake!

    Again, congratulations on 500k subscribers- you deserve them all, and thank-you so much for holding this amazing giveaway!

    September 1, 2014 at 11:55 am

    Hey Jen! I have loved following you since the day I did, I have never seen the most marvellous creations ever, I live in Perth, WA and I can’t find most of these things! Appart from the baking tins and spatulas and stuff, but their all so expensive! I have been hoping to get my hands on some gel paste but I can’t find any. Anyway, I would probably start making cakes and cupcakes and start to sell them, I would just love to see a person face when the bite into a lovely cupcake and buy a cake to take home to their family’s, I would start making more birthday cakes and giving them to my friends, finally getting some gel paste and making better easier macaroons! I love seeing you having all these subscribers because you deserve every single one of them Jen! Every single one! With love and thanks from Australia!

    Oh, so many things I want to try! Most of all, I’d like to experiment with cupcakes – try and invent new things, mix different flavores. Besides, I’ve always wanted to make a piece of art out of frosting. With this kit I’d finally be able to try!
