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!

    Hi I am Kenneth Anderson and I have been watching your videos for quite a while now and also a long time blog reader thank you for making my mouth water so much! You really are such a talented baker . I am entering you contest !! My great-grandmother loved to bake and she also taught me.We made so many cake from Pound Cake to red velvet any cake flavor we made it!! It didn`t even have to be a special occasion we just baked for no absolute reason! She passed away this January and when she passed I felt as though a part of me passed with her. 🙁 Any time I feel sad and missing her I go to the kitchen and whip a nice cake and when I`m finished I just feel her presence.It has also been a really tough time for my grandfather who was very close to her and one of her many cake testers lol. His health is deteriorating he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer 4 months after her death. He is currently on Chemo. After every treatment a nice cake is waiting for him at home and it just brings me great joy! What would I make with this set??? I think I would make a lovely glazed gnache chocolate cake! It was my grandmothers fav! She especially loved when I added corn syrup to make it really shiny ! If I am granted to win your contest I would bake any chance I got . So If you pick me not only would I be honored but all my cake testers would be honored!! So heres to another 500K With love Kenneth Thanks So much for reading and I really Hope you choose me !!:)

    HI!!!
    what I would make first if I won this amazing giveaway is…

    a rainbow cake for my youngest daughter since her birthday has recently just passed so I was planning a surprise birthday party and this giveaway would be perfect for it.
    I think a rainbow cake would be perfect since she loves rainbows and I’ve never had any time or ingredients to make this recipe so this is a perfect time to do this!

    by the way I LOVE your channel and all the recipes you make.

    I wish everybody a good chance on winning

    Hi jenn, congrats on your 500k subscription. I would like to win this kit as in my family no one likes to bake or decorate and not interested in these things and are not buying any such things. So it would be nice if I won this so I could use it as my kit :-).

    Hi Jen,

    You have inspired me to full in love with baking all over again! Thank you for your awesome videos, I can’t get enough of them and think I have watched every single one now!

    I would do a second attempt at the chocolate piñata cake I made for my friends 21st in the weekend as I think it could have been a lot better with the correct equipment! She did love it though and it looked great (thanks to your icing videos!) thanks for inspiring me so much all the way over in New Zealand!

    Keep up the awesome videos 😀

    Hi Jen,
    First of all congratulations on the 500K subscribers.
    Secondly I would bake a cake for my dad’s birthday as his is the next birthday we will celebrate.
    I would have done one for my mum but her birthday was today. If I won the set I would definitely bake one for her next birthday as she told me today after I had decorated a bought sponge cake nobody had done that for her for a long time.

    Hi Jen (all the way from Australia!)
    I LOVE your channel, I get so excited each time I get a notification of a new video… Like a kid in a candy store.

    If I won, I’d make cupcakes from my 3 work buddies. I had an accident earlier in the year and fractured both my arms. Those guys have taken me to the hospital helped me cover off my work stuff and always been there to listen to me cry or to make me laugh. I wish I could give them more… But they do love cupcakes!!!

    Hi Jen!

    I would make everyone I know a cake that is exactly what they like! My friends and family know that for their birthday they are much more likely to get a huge, elaborate cake than a normal present. I would make the muppet, Animal, first. He is my boyfriends favourite character, you’re Kermit one inspired me!! I love your videos!

    Hello Jen! I just gotta say I LOVE your channel and your blog! I’m a 17 year old girl who just LOVE to bake and decorate, and I really want to win this Baking Kit, since I’m just a student and don’t have any money at all to support my baking.
    My little sister Rita who is 4 y/o is allergic to both egg and gluten and because of her sickness and allergies she looks very small and has almost no hair. But her favourite princess is Rapunzel, so if I win this kit i Would bake her a egg- and gluten-free Rapunzel princess-cake for her birthday!

    September 2, 2014 at 10:24 am

    Hey There Jen,
    My name is Jacqueline and I am one of many comments here on your blog. Well If I would have ever won i would give this prize to all three of my daughters. What makes me different from others well, I am a single parent, and my ex husband is an alcoholic who wants nothing to do with my kids. You see my daughters all have depression and anxiety which later developed into them not going to school and not wanting to leave the house at all. Until one day my youngest daughter found your youtube channel and started wanting to bake cakes of course i could not afford this but i still tried to make it happen. Then my other daughters started watching you and they wanted to bake as well it has made them feel better. I would absolutely appreciate it if you could let my girls win this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CHOOSE ME FOR THE PRIZE!
    Thanks, Jacqueline 🙂

  41. Chad Marquis says
    September 2, 2014 at 10:13 am

    If I were to win this give away/contest, being honest the first thing that I would make is your recipe for rainbow cake, and since I have been dying to try the rainbow cake-pop truffles, I would decorate it with that.

    But the main thing that I really want to make is a 3-tier volcano cake! My best friend is a Geologist, and she loves everything having to do with rocks, the earth, fossils, dinosaurs, and volcano’s. I want to make it tall, then decorate it with different kinds of rock candy, but I want to take it a step further, and make the cakes different colors to make it look like the layers of the earth when you cut into it, and I will probably be using dry ice for the lava effect. I also want to make decorations out of cake pops to look like boulders, and even some trees or something.

    Also, since Halloween is coming up, I thought I’d try using your Pot of gold cake pop recipe, and turn them into witch cauldron cake pops.

    Thank You!!

    Hey Jen, Congratulations on 500K, I only just started watching your videos, but I’ve tried most of your recipes, thank you for some grate ideas.

    Hello Jen,
    I love your channel and I would like to have these big set, because I want to try to make a two or three layered cake. I don´t tried this before and your set would be perfect for this.
    BYe the way. I´m really jealous about you, that you have a wilton shop near by you! I´m from Germany and here we have nothing like that, I can only buy this from the internet, but it´s a bit expensive, too! 🙁
    So I hope I can win here!! :-))
    Greetings from Germany

    Hi! Congrats on 500K subscribers, first of all! I’ve been subscribed to you for a while now, and am always in awe of the creations you come up with! If I won, I’d probably make something pretty simple to begin with — I love watching you bake but when it comes to making stuff myself, I’m still a newbie so I have to gain a little confidence before trying too big of a project! Since we’re nearing the fall months and you have all those lovely cupcake liners included in the prize, I might try my hand at one of your holiday cupcake tutorials, like the Christmas tree one, so that I’ll have it down pat by the time the holidays roll around 🙂

    (and my family and I will certainly enjoy munching on the test batches during my period of practice, lol!)

    Hello Jen! Congratulations on 500k subscribers!!!!!The very first video that I watched on the Cookies cupcakes and cardio channel I was hooked! You always have a variety of subjects to do. If I found out that I won this prize I would be happy go skippy lucky. The first thing I would bake would be the Pumpkin pie cheesecake followed by the Oreo cake. yum! I would go bake crazy and more then likely use those 300 liners to bake cupcakes and give them to the soldiers at work! Thank you for the time that you put into these videos so that we have some pretty amazing things to bake!

    If I won this I’d choose to decorate a birthday cake for my gran. Her birthday is coming up and she use to bake birthday cakes for me every year. But last year she had to have her knees replaces so she can’t move far and cannot stand for very long so I thought it would be a great idea to bake and decorate a cake for her.
    Thanks for reading this!
