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!

    Omg where to start! First I need to calm down because I am way too excited to type. Shaking here ha! Woosah! *deep breaths* haha. Alright. I think I’m good. I’m super excited by this as you can tell. I enjoy baking so much. Recently discovered passion that my friends and family are happy about. Forever wanting baked goodies. But sadly, a lot of these products are either really expensive here or just unavailable. I live in St Lucia. That’s in the beautiful Caribbean. It is an ultimate dream to run my own bakery/cafe and these would come in so handle for practice. I haven’t baked in a while because everything is unaffordable for me and this would be amazing to own. I normally just sit on amazon looking at what I want. I know exactly what I want to bake with this first. The pink and black zebra cake that you made. I looked for everything to make it but I couldn’t get a lot of what I needed. I was disappointed and moped for days. That is definitely the first thing I would bake. And some in cupcake form too with brilliant colourful decorations. And that will only be the beginning. I will go crazy on the baking. My family, friends and I will love you forever. A friend just asked yesterday when I’ll be baking again. This will be a dream plus an awesome birthday gift as I’m a September born. 24th! Same da as my mum. I’ll bake her a cake too with these 😀 oh boy I excited. Haha! Sorry for this long essay but I tend to ramble when I get excited. I’ll stop now. Pick me! 😀 you’re amazing Jen and I honestly love you. Favourite YouTuber without a doubt

I know this is long but thank you for reading this

    Hi Ms.Jenn

    I’m 22 and college student in texas, I have a little sister who loves to bake on account that she’s 3 and not allowed to do it by her self if we (she)won most likely we would bake something amazing very colorful, definitely would have to be hello kitty because thats Sa’ki’s favorite,so what I’m think is more then likely a layered hello kitty cake it would have a strawberry cake layer and an red velvet layer with a lemon curd or strawberry filling with an Italian meringue frosting. She would love it and send and post pictures!!!
    Thank you Ms.Jenn
    -Sa’Ki & Natasha

All I ever bought is a rectangle pan and a frosting spoon. I would love to enjoy baking cake with all the giveaway materials you will provide and what a special occasion for the best and only mom in the world. Thank you and hope you pick the best! 🙂

    I would actually give it to my aunt as a present because she loves to cook so much, and she’d love all these stuff for her carrier and stuff, she and I don’t talk as much as we really should so I think if I give her this we we’ll make our relationship stronger and maybe we can actually make some cakes and cupcakes together, who knows? Hahaha, well anyways, congrats on 500K subscribers!

    September 4, 2014 at 9:18 pm

    Umm….I never really make a homemade frosting before…? Well…I tried to make icing, but it end up really watery ….that’s sad~ so I really wanna try to make frosting my self so that I can decorate the cake using the frosting I made~

    I would bake a lot of cake for cancer.

  28. Azz says
    September 4, 2014 at 9:06 pm

    If I was too get that… I’d be like.. I’d go crazy because one time I tried piping from a bag and it didn’t work and I ruined cupcakes. So I’d probably just end up making an awesome cake. That would turn into a fail because I don’t think I could get it. If I can. My vision is to have a 4 teired oreo cake. With the insides cut out and filled with whipped cream and Oreo cookies. But not cut all the way down because I need a base.Each later would be a different flavour of Oreo and I’d put brown icing on the bottom than green, red, than orange so its like a flower effect. Than pipe grass like icing around on it. At the top I’d put oreos everywhere in the top so it also type of looks like ashes from a fire cake. See what I mean when I say weird and fail idea xD my sister will still love it

    I am just starting to take decorating classes from wilton, and I would use the kit to help me become the best baker/decorator I can be. I love watching your videos, and I already made 2 of your cakes. I made your American flag cake ( which was amazing by the way),and I made your oreo cake, so delicious. I am so excited that you got 500,000 subscribers. I know that you will reach 1,000,000 subscribers soon! I hope you continue to inspire people with your videos.

    Hi Jenn and Paul! First off congratulations on 500,000 subscribers! That is huge and very well deserved!

    I’m going to keep this sweet and to the point! My name is Shir and I’m 15 (soon to be 16) from Israel 🙂 If I won this contest the first thing I would make would be an ombré layered cake covered in white buttercream frosting! I’ve been imagining this cake for a long time and have planned out how I would make it and decorate it! I’ve always wanted to make a layered cake as they look so cool yet are surprisingly very simple! They really are impressing and look like a lot of fun to make 🙂

    Thank you for holding this giveaway, it really gives a chance for those who can’t get their hands on baking equipment! Here in Israel its hard to find a lot of baking equipment, and they aren’t like the ones you have in the states!

    CONGRATS once again, and keep on the amazing videos!

    Best regards <3
    Shir xx

  34. Shir Somech says
    September 4, 2014 at 8:39 pm

    Hi Jen and Paul! Big congratulations on half a million, thats crazy!!

    If I won I would bake my 18-year-old brother a cake for joining the IDF this summer! I would probably do a military cake with a camouflage design inside and I would frost and decorate it!
    I would also love to do the crayon cake! Absolutely loved that one 🙂

    Best regards,
    Shir
