Birthday Week Giveaway #5! Win a Kitchenaid 7-qt mixer for you AND your BFF! (Winner Announced!)

Time’s up!

The winner of the two Kitchenaid Mixers is…

#1111 Tatum: “Oh my heavens! AMAZING!!! I would make cupcakes and cookies! I love to bake and would be so thrilled to win these. How exciting would it be to share this prize with my BFF?! Thank you!”

Congrats Tatum! I’ll be sending you an email shortly. So excited for your and your BFF!

It’s here! Today is the TEN year anniversary of kevinandamanda.com. Thanks so much for celebrating our 10th blogging birthday with us this week!

I’ve got such a fun giveaway from Kitchenaid today to celebrate our big milestone!! It wouldn’t be a birthday without presents right?? :) How would you like to win a brand new 7-qt. Kitchenaid Mixer for you AND your BFF?? You read that right — one ultimate grand prize winner will win not one, but two Kitchenaid mixers. One to keep and one to give to a friend!!

Make sure your BFF enters for double your chance to win! ;)

I love the new 7-qt mixer, especially the new design of the whisk attachment! The oblong shape reaches every surface of the bowl for perfectly fluffy, whipped batters and doughs, and less scraping down the sides.

How to Enter

One grand prize winner will win two (2) 7-qt. Kitchenaid Bowl Lift Stand Mixers, in the color of your choice (red, black, or silver). Should you win, we will gladly either ship both mixers to you, or ship one to you and the other to directly to your friend.

To enter, simply answer the following question in the comments section of this post. What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?

Contest ends Saturday, March 24 at 8 pm CST. One entry per person, please. Winner will be chosen by Random.org and notified by email. Giveaway graciously provided by Kitchenaid.

New giveaways every day this week in honor of Birthday Week!

To make sure you don’t miss a second of all the fun festivities going on this week, subscribe to Kevin & Amanda updates by Email or RSS. You can also get updates on Facebook and Twitter.

Good luck, and thanks for celebrating with us!! :)

28 ashley stan March 22, 2012 at 1:59 am

I would have to make batch of french macarons, in a really fun color that my assistant “chef” (2 yr. old, E) would choose. Then we’d whip up a fancy filling, like raspberry mascarpone. Would love to see how macarons turn out with a stand mixer, rather than my good ol’ arm and spoon :)

29 Ashley h March 22, 2012 at 2:01 am

Bread. I have always wanted to do homemade bread.

60 Stephanie March 22, 2012 at 4:09 am

I’d definitely break mine in by making my mom’s Southern Comfort sweet potato cupcakes… And of course I’d give her the other mixer (though hers is 35 years old and still going strong, she more than deserves a new one!) so she can make the brown-butter cream-cheese frosting alongside me!

Congrats on 10 years! Here’s to another fabulous decade :)

61 Michelle March 22, 2012 at 4:18 am

70 Meredith Phillips March 22, 2012 at 4:51 am

Pizza dough! I make it by hand right now since I don’t have a mixer, but I’d love to find out a) how much easier it could be, and b) if the dough turns out better.
