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!

    Hey Girl, congratulations on the 500k I love your videos so much.

    I really want to make my sister a wedding cake. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not an amazing perfect baker, but I am getting there. My sister is getting married next year to an amazing man and I would love to make this special gift for them involving making a beautiful quirky wedding cake. My sister and I were never super close we had a lot of issues growing up, but in the past year we have gotten very close by forgiving and forgetting and I just want to thank her and show her I really care with my amazing cake present.

    Hi,

    Well I dont have any experience in baking, I´ve done a few cakes but nothing fancy. I would like to take this oportunity to learn more and be able to make cakes for all special ocasions and maybe sometimes just to eat as a snack. I want to make so many things yet I dont know what to do or where to start, so with this kit and your videos I can start learning + I dont have the money to buy so many items for making desserts and with this.. its a start. Thanks!! 😀

    Hello, Jenn! 🙂 I’m entering this contest for my mom because she wants to improve her baking skills but doesn’t have the money to get started. I am not going to tell her if she wins because I want this to be a surprise. She wants to make my blind sister a birthday cake that she can feel. It wouldn’t be accurately textured but Shauna could at least feel shapes and edges. She’s very young mentally. So, the very first thing she would bake would be Shauna’s birthday cake. God bless you and may you prosper even more in the coming years.:)

    September 2, 2014 at 2:34 am

    If I were to win I would use the kit to practice all kinds of baking techniques. My great grandmother taught me lots of things but I still need practice if I hope to start a dessert business in her honor some day. We were so very close before she passed away and she always talked about opening a bakery. Sadly she never got to and if I can, the bakery will be named after her when it opens.

    Hey Jen! Congrats on 500K! If I won this giveaway the first thing I would do would be bake an inside out rainbow cake at the Ronald McDonald house. Me, my mom and my brother bake there once a month so I would be sure that this would be the perfect start!

    I love watching your videos on YouTube.

    Hi Jen,

    As everyone has said Congrats on 500,000 Subscribers! I love your videos and cakes! I have always been interested in baking, and love to do it!

    If I were to win the contest today, I would use it to make a 3 tier cake for my Boyfriend who is going into the United States Navy, to congratulate him, as well as his best friend who is also my best friends boyfriend, on Graduating from Boot Camp for the United States Marine Corps. This would be the first two tiers. The last and very top tier, would be for all four of us to celebrate all of our Mile Stones Of Graduating High School as the Class of 2014. The reason for this is because we all could not be together on the day of our graduations, you see my best friend and I each got to go to our boyfriends graduations, but they were unable to come to ours, Hers left for boot camp for the Marines 2 weeks before our graduation, and mine was getting Medically cleared to join the Navy. That is what I would do if I won today.

    If I were to win on September 30th, I would use it to make my brother (the only boy I know with four older sisters) the birthday cake of his dreams on November 1st. He’d want a baseball cake with all his favorite Major League players, and just for fun I would include him! Although my family wouldn’t eat all the cake we would save it and I know he would be the happiest kid.

    Again Congrats Jen (: I am proud, you are inspirational, and you’ve inspired me! Thank you for your creativity!

    ~Steph

    Hey Jen.
    Congrats on hitting 500k subscribers. I live in New Zealand and Im a novice cake decorator. I love watching your fun videos. My biggest dream at the moment is to open up an online cake/cupcake shop.
    If I won this contest, I would make a 4 or 5 tiered wedding cake for my parents Ruby wedding anniversary (35 years) coming up. It would be white fondant covered tiers with damaske piping covering the sides with white drapes cascading down the front of the cake with ruby red gumpaste roses attached at opposite sides of each tier. I have been planning to make this cake for the last 6 months.
    I also have many people in my family. 5 of which (including myself) all have birthdays before Christmas this year so there will be cakes needed for each of them!
    I would be sooooooo grateful if I won this.
    Thanks Jen for the opportunity! 🙂

      Congratulations to 500k subscribers!! I would really love to win this contest because I´m a chef and I usually make caterings for my family, but here in Argentina is too hard to find good cooking supplies, and the price can make me so much easy to make better and better cakes =)

    Congratulations Jen on reaching 500 k I earned it and u deserved it. What Iwould do if Iwin il make a cake for my cousins 15 its a great accomplishment because she is ready to go off on her own and meet the world so I would make her a cake for her b-day

  33. Lexi Driver says
    September 2, 2014 at 1:51 am

    Congratulations on all the subscribers. I’m only 13 but I have a passion for baking, and the first thing I would do would be a wedding cake. My aunt told me that I would be able to make her wedding cake. This would be great to have instead of making her buy all of the supplies, because we are not rich and she just had a baby. I certainly don’t have money im 13. In conclusion this would be a great help.

  34. Juanita Mauricio says
    September 2, 2014 at 1:51 am

    Great job on the videos! When my parents got married 39 years ago they weren’t able to have an actual wedding. My four siblings and I have decided to pull all the money we have to have a vow renewal because they deserve it. Unfortunately, we can’t get all the things a normal vow renewal would have because we don’t have much money. So that’s the first thing I would make with the supplies, my parents first wedding cake. Thank you for the hope, even if I don’t win.

  35. Kelsey says
    September 2, 2014 at 1:50 am

    Hi Jenn!

    Congratulations on your 500K subscribers! A job well done, and a well deserved fame!!

    I have been an amateur baker for a while now, and am now starting to venture into serious cake decorating. I recently baked a “Hobbit house” cake for my boyfriend’s 30th b’day (vanilla cake with chocolate ganache and hazelnut whipcream frosting). My next baking creation is going to be a “Minions in pool” cake which will be flavored as a Ferro Roche cake for my sister’s b’day.

    I would probably use the starter kit to bake myself a 30th b’day and PhD completion cake (flavors and design tbd), along with the cakes for my various friend’s b’day’s. I am excited for my baking future 🙂 As a graduate student, baking has been a very expensive hobby, but one that I’ve enjoyed immensely!

    I would also like to take this opportunity to Thank You! Your videos are inspiring and creative, not to mention your great personality! I hope you continue to make videos and inspiring the thousands of people who watch you.

    Thank you!

    Congrats on your 500k subscribers! I am happy that I am one of them. I love watching you make cakes, cupcakes, etc. You make it look so easy. I am 15 and have baked since the third grade. I would be surprised if I won because I never win anything, but if I did win, I would love to make a layered rainbow cake and decorate it. Thanks for being an inspiration to me and soooo many others. Keep doing what you love and don’t let anybody stop you. Thank you!

    September 2, 2014 at 1:26 am

    Hi, First of all congratulation on 500 thousands subscribers. My name is Ji-Min Oh I’m 13 years old and I live in Canada but I’m Korean. Also I love baking. My mom doesn’t really like sweets and I have a huge tooth. She would always say that it was too expensive or that it’s not good for me. Back then I couldn’t even see the top of the counter. When I was about 8, my mom bought me a cake mix because I begged her. Basically she made it while I helped stirring the batter. In the end the parchment paper caught on fire and the cake batter over flowed. After that my mom would rarely buy cake mixes. that’s when I started to watch online videos and read books about baking. I tried baking simple peanut butter cookies and they turned out good. Ever since then I started to bake more and different things. I love to watch your videos and I wish I could try them out but I can’t afford the ingredients or it’s really hard to bake without a mixer. Still asking for a mixer, might take a while until I can afford one. I don’t own a lot of baking supplies. But I try my best, my family and friends try my baking. I just love it when they smile and give me a thumbs up, well my brothers criticize them. But when I wake up the next morning its all gone. If I won I would bake a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting for my family. I hope I can win, but I don’t mind if I don’t win. I just hope you keep posting new baking videos, they inspire me to bake!
