    I would make some cookies, we love baking this time of year and my kids love to make cookies, so we would make some cookies together!

  2. molly

    I would make my grandmother’s secret bread recipe. It’s a sourdough bread, but there is NOTHING “sour” about it. It reminds me of fall/winter as a child. She’d fry the bread on the second day (if there was any left) and top it with homemade strawberry preserves for breakfast. I would love to recreate that with my family.

  3. Michele

    My husband has PKD and I am always adapting recipes, so that he can eat healthy foods. I use a mixer almost every single day. I sure could use a new one!

  4. Heather West

    I would make my delicious pumpkin bars! I want one so bad, I’ve been saving $20 here and there to get one so I would LOVE to win this!!

  5. Lee Barrow

  6. Josh K

    I am constantly baking and one of my favorite things to make are Sour Cream Cookies. I don’t make them very often because the dough is extremely difficult to mix the 5 1/2 cups of flour in but with this mixer, the first thing I would make would be Sour Cream Cookies.

  7. Christine

    I have been waiting for this mixer to go on sale ,but free would be so much better!!! I would whip up some delicious wine cookies !! Just in time for Christmas!

  11. Chris O.

    I would make my wife very happy. :) I would make your mom’s peanut butter balls, the 5 qt mixure isn’t enough, and the bowl unless you put it in a ice bath gets too hot.

  12. Cindi

    I would whip up a batch of pumpkin bread the minute I got it out of the box! I would seriously use this mixer all the time!

  13. Brett

    We have a recipe for “Big Mama’s Sugar Cookies” that would have to be the first thing I would make if I won this mixer. Big Mama was my husband’s great grandmother and her sugar cookie recipe is to die for. What an awesome way to make and share her wonderful recipe!!

  14. Rebecca Lorraine Walker

    Mashed potatoes! I’ve had them from my daughter’s Kitchenaid and let me tell you, that machine whips them so thorough they’re afraid to leave a lump behind. The most delicious potatoes I’ve ever had! Best cooking tool ever!

  15. Melissa G.

    I think I would make good ol fashioned chocolate chip cookies! Then I’d have to go for something more substantial, but you can’t pass up a chocolate chip cookie!

  16. Kay K

    This mixer is perfect!! As a Kindergarten Teacher I would make dozens and dozens of cupcakes to give as a thank you to the PTA of our school who do so much for the children, staff and teachers.

  17. Erica

    Well, I’d still make chocolate chip cookies in that beautiful mixer. :)

  19. Erin Willis

  20. Kayla

    I would take this over to my mom’s house and use it to make all of our christmas goodies. My mom, sister and myself plus a few extra little ones around the house spend an entire weekend making christmas goodies to giveaway every year. This would make our holiday treats a total breeze. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

  21. Laura

  28. Erica

    I would make Christmas sugar cookies for my husband since he was deployed last year for Christmas and the cookies I sent then finally arrived a month and a half after Christmas!

  29. Melissa

  30. Tami E.

    I would invite my daughter over and we would make Grammie’s Sugar Cookies for the next tailgating party….. Football shaped of course!

  31. Suzy Gray

    I LOVE that red color…. the first thing I would make is my grandma’s nutroll recipe. My dad asks for that each Christmas (only gift he wants) and it takes muscles to make them without one of these. Thanks for the chance to win hoping you pick my name

  32. Chelsea

    A black mixer would look just perfect in my new home ready for me to break in the new kitchen with some yummy Christmas sugar cookie making!

  33. Angela V.

    Without a doubt the first thing I would make in *hopefully* my brand new kitchenaid would be my grandma’s sugar cookies and the frosting to go with! It’s just not the holidays without grandma’s yummy sugar cookies!!

  34. Jami Newman

    Are you kidding me? I love this Kitchenaid! I would be able to make enough of my favorite pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to feed everyone at work!

  35. Robyn Rasmussen

  37. Pam McHenry

    The first thing I’ll make in my new mixer is smashed potatoes with sour cream and butter. Don’t forget tons of cheese!!

  38. Kristal G

  39. Carrie Shaffer

    I LOVE making sugar cookies and icing for my kids to decorate with my Kitchen Aid Mixer! The BEST memories start with the mixing :-)

  40. Emily McHenry

    The first thing I will make in my brand new kitchenaid will be a big batch of homemade buttercream icing to go on top of my cousin’s wedding cake that I am making for her! Then I’ll make meringue for a chocolate pie!! Woohoo!

  41. Lauren

    I would make gingersnap cookies, dipped in white chocolate – yum! The first time I made them I burned the motor in my hand mixer. Ever since, I have had to get my husband to help stir the molassas into the mix. This mixer would really help!

  42. Heather

    Oh my, so many things! Frosting is at the top of my list, mixing with a hand spun mixer is so tiresome!!
    Amazing Amazing giveaway!

  43. Britany Holmes

    Oh my goodness I’ve always wanted a mixer. I would die and go to Heaven if I won this! But first I would make strawberry cheesecake cupcakes! Yummmy!!

  44. Kelsie

    The possibilities are endless! I’d make homemade bread, then cookies, then all the other holiday goodies I’ve got up my sleeve!

  45. Dawn

    Ahhh, I’d make bread from scratch. I have a classic kitchenaid, and though it works still, it seems to be a little bogged down with things like bread… so I don’t make it much in attempt to not cut it’s life short!

  46. Evelyn

    I am teaching my daughter how to bake. Our plan this year is to make all of our Christmas gifts this year.. from breads, cookies, and cakes. Of course it takes a lot of practice to get them tasty.. so we need to start practicing them now.. :)

  47. Katherine

    I’d love to make some wonderful Pumpkin bars (my mom’s famous holiday recipe). It would be great to make this before the fall season is over!

  48. Katie Weathers

    I would make Homemade Chocolate Chip cookie with my daughter for the first time! Nothing better than fun Mommy Daughter time in the kitchen!

  49. Alexis Speed

    If I won this beautiful piece of heaven, I would make my beloved grandmother’s famous sweet potato pie. A recipe that was used to wow southern dignitaries and upperclass family in the South during the 30’s and 40’s. My grandmother was cognitively starting to decline four years ago and before we lost her I was able to sit in my kitchen, show her ingredients and have her tell me how much of this and how much of that! It worked-my sweet potato pie’s taste just like grandma’s.

  50. Amber

    Holy wow! Gosh – what wouldn’t I make?!?!? A batch of my favorite Christmas fudge… or perhaps the classic chocolate chip cookies.. although with freshly fallen snow right now, a piping hot cinnamon roll sounds delish.. Thanks so much for the chance, Amanda! :)

  51. Kristi McGraw

    I have always wanted a Kitchenaide mixer and have never been able to afford one. I have a family of five and this would be awesome to make baked goods for them. I would make several loafs of french bread with this mixer. :)

  52. Lisa

    The possibilites are endless with this mixer! You can make anything and everything from here to the moon!! Random.org please pick me!! :) I would make my mom’s homemade bread and then some snicker doodles! Mmmmmmmm!!!!!! :)

  53. Alexandra

    I’d make pumpkin spice cupcakes, with a fresh buttercream frosting, and topped with candied walnuts! Can’t go wrong with a classic silver Kitchenaid!

  54. Amanda Dawn

    BREAD! I’ve been hounding my husband about wanting a Kitchen-Aid for Christmas….but I can’t wait that long! I am dying to try out so many bread recipes I’ve seen online. I have an old, old, old Sunbeam mixer (it was my husband’s grandmothers) and no dough hooks. Boo. I no great cook, but I am determined to become a great bread maker! :)
    *candyapple red is so totally swoon-worthy.

  55. Lisa Byxbee

    What is the first thing I would make with a new mixer? Where do I start? I use my mixer on a daily basis, so lets say i will start with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

  57. Heather Monk

    If I won the KitchenAid Mixer, the first thing I would make would be my fiance’s favorite dessert, Turtle Cheesecake, for his birthday, which is actually on Thanksgiving this year! I know he would love the dessert, and I would love the fact that I made it with my very own KitchenAid mixer!!

  58. Christy West

    I would love to win this! The first thing I would make would be my son’s favorite dessert, chocolate chip cookies!

  61. Amy

    Oooh, nothing like getting in at the last second.
    I’d make cookies… likely some using my girls leftover Halloween candy.

  62. Kristal Price

  63. Brandy Eckhardt

  67. Monica

    I would mix up a bunch of cake batters for cake pops and cake push-up pops for family and school holiday parties. :0)

  68. Melanie

    This has been on my wishlist for a long time. I would make my world famous red velvet cupcake for my 4th grade students!

  69. Ruth

    OH MAN… would i love to win this one!!! I have been dying to make your most delicious chocolate cake… that would probably be the first thing i would make but it would be so helpful with all the baking this holiday season!!!

  72. Kathy Winters

    I’ve been entering every single giveaway I can find for one of the KitchenAid Stand Mixers because I want one so bad. Oh my gosh, I’ve been baking like a fool and the first thing I would make is some yummy Pumpkin Bread — double batch because I could. Thanks for the opportunity!

  73. megan l

  77. Debbie

    I would make bread dough so I could make cinnamon pullaparts. YUM! Yet the possibilities would be endless! I am sure my 18 year old son could make an alphabetized list of goodies to make with this amazing mixer.

  78. Michelle Matter

    I would make chocolate cookie dough cupcakes for my son’s birthday party. It would be awesome to stop making buttercream frosting by mashing butter with a fork!

  79. Bree Wakefield

    I would whip up a batch of to-die-for Starbucks Frappacino Cupcakes!! Sinfully delicious! I’m already dreaming about three of my favorite things – Starbucks… Cupcakes… and the Kitchenaid Mixer I have been dreaming of since I was a child. <3

  80. Susan G.

    I’m thinking it would be just in time for my daughter and I to make all our Christmas cookies. That would be Fabulous!

    Well…the first thing I’d make with this fabulous mixer, would be…of course…Christmas cookies!

    Then I want to try shredding chicken breasts in it like I saw on Pinterest!

  82. Kristy

    I’m in heaven just looking at this gorgeous machine! I’ve never used one so I don’t even know where I would start… Oh that’s not entirely true… I’d make something so delectable and delicious, it’d knock my family’s socks off! Something like a real homemade cheesecake, or macarons! Skies the limit right?!

  83. Mandy McQuillis

    Oh!My DREAM!I run a home based cakery business and would LOVE to have something like this to help speed up the process when making my frostings and cakes!I think the 1st thing i would make is some of my Oreo Filling as that is a favorite!
    Thanks for the chance!

  84. Kristine T

    Well I have 100 cookies to make this coming weekend for an open house at my husband’s business so I would use it to make those cookies. This mixer would definitely make the job easier!

  85. Amanda Morgan

    I have an Artisan series mixer now, but I would LOVE to upgrade to a bigger size. Well, shoot! I could make twice the food (and twice the mess) at the same time!!

  86. Kelly K.

    Fabulous giveaway! I have about 6 – 7 dozen cupcakes, cake pops, and a b-day cake I need to make in the next month for my little boy’s 1st birthday! This would be amazing!

  87. Alicia

    I would make birthday cakes for my family (Hubby, Daughter, and Son) who all have their birthdays VERY close together!

  88. Tiffany Lee

    I love your recipes! I’ve tried the gumbo and it was amazing!
    Thank you!

    If i won this, i would make pumpkin cheesecake for the holidays!

  89. Geralyn Hodges

    If I could win this mixer, I would make homemade oatmeal-scotchies. Just before Halloween I dislocated my patella and have been on crutches since then. I haven’t been able to get around at all and I have just started walking this weekend. I know my kids would love for me to be able to bake something homemade for them!

  90. aly

    Well I just made the decision this weekend to get my kids in the kitchen with me more. They have picked out tons of recipes from Pinterest. I would guess the first thing we would make would be cookies….or maybe cupcakes….or bread. Or whatever they want to make…it’s all about them :) (I would guess cupcakes, though…Creamsicle cupcakes)

  91. AmyC

    The first thing I would make are these yummy cookies called Maxine’s cookies (although they are so addictive I call them crack cookies!).

    Also, just wanted to say a huge thank you for the suggestion of the Camellia Grill in NOLA!! We are just headed home from there, and ate there twice. My friends think I’m a genius. I told them yes, I follow KevinandAmanda and Picky Palate!!

  92. susan

    Where to begin? I wish I could make tow or three things at the same time! Oatmeal bread for french toast, gingerbread for a snack for all at work tomorrow and some killer coconut cookies!

  93. Karla Garcia

    I would make my pumpkin upside down dessert that I make for Thanksgiving every year and as a birthday cake for my sister-in-law. That’s what she asks for every year! Thanks for the opportunity!

  94. Hannah

    Oh my goodness! You do not know how badly I want this mixer! I am a student, in love with baking and am looking to go into culinary school. The first thing I would make would be icing! lots and lots of it! It’s so difficult to make without a mixer. Keeping my fingers crossed!

  95. Karen Duncan

    I would love to have one of these mixers. I would put it to good use by making pancakes for my granddaughter and then make a cake for my husband.

  96. Chelsea S

    Oh my gosh I was just looking on there website dreaming about owning one of these! I have never owned a mixer. Gosh its hard to think of just one thing…maybe pumpkin chocolate cookies, or orange rolls.
    Here’s hoping I win!! Please please

  97. Laura M.

    I’d make the best ever chocolate cake with buttercream frosting! What a beautiful mixer. Thanks so much for the chance to win it!

  98. Danielle Geneva

    The first thing I would make is CHEESECAKE of course! I’m currently in college and have always wanted one of these to make my cheesecake making process simpler (I currently use a hand mixer!). My family has come to expect cheesecake every time I go home to visit and this would make the cooking of it much more enjoyable!

  99. Missy

    Bread! I’ve been wanting to start making bread but every recipe seems to need a mixer with bread hook and I don’t have one!

  100. Kelli Dietrich

    I would start all my Christmas baking now! Cookies of all kinds, fudge, divinity…. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

  101. Kaitlin Hill

    The very first recipe I’d make in that gorgeous mixer would be my Grandmother’s famous Chocolate Choke cake! She makes this cake all the time, but one time years ago, I choked on a piece..and I was fine, of course, but we laugh about it until this day! It’s delicious yet dangerous. I’m newly married and I’d like to make it for my sweet husband who tolerates my inexperienced baking, haha. Maybe this mixer will help me out a little bit!

    -Kaitlin

  102. Beth

    After I spent an hour or two just looking and this gorgeous thing on my countertop and jumping up and down, I would mix up a recipe for pumpkin spice cake I’ve had my eye on. The jump up and down some more.

  103. Christy Y

    I’d make a huge batch of sugar cookie dough and then cut out and decorate Christmas cookies with my children!

  104. April P.

    Oh wow! I would probably make cupcakes first since that is what my 3 year old loves to make. (although she calls them pupcakes)!!

  105. Rona D.

    Oh my goodness, I would love to make chocolate chip cookies without having to have my hand mixer beaters stuck in the batter. I have never owned a stand mixer and I know that this one would be so awesome. I could not imagine how wonderful this would be!!!

  106. becky wuerfele

    I have always been intimidated by any recipe with yeast involved.
    So I would learn to conquer rolls for Thanksgiving Dinner with my
    new KitchenAid Mixer.

  107. Lesley Kramer

    I am 3rd Generation of owning a Kitchen Aid Mixer. Mine is 38 years old Harvest Gold. Looks outdated in my kitchen. Squash Pie for Thanksgiving my Husband Grandmothers receipe will be the first thing we make.

  108. Rebekah

    If I won the mixer, I would give it to my mom! There is no telling what she would make!!! She loves to cook and has been using a mixer that she got when she married my dad over 30 years ago!

  109. shara bachman

    ooooooohhhhhhh…. i would LOVE this. so much.
    i would make our jumbo english muffins just in time for christmas ;)

  110. Liz

    Thanks for the giveaway!! So great!!!

    I would make my mama’s cranberry bread…. or maybe her banana spice muffins!

    Too many choices….yum-o!!!

  111. Jessica Difazio

    The first thing i would make is cinnamon rolls and pop tarts. I have always wanted to try a pop tart but they are quite expensive to buy here so i would make my own and experiment with the fillings.

  112. Tia

    I would love to win this giveaway. The first thing I would make is the filling for my grandmother’s super secret fudge pie for Thanksgiving.

  113. Katie {Sweet Rose Studio}

    I would love to make a yummy cheesecake. It’s no fun trying to make one of those by handmixing!

  114. Amchwa

    I would make the biggest batch of peanut butter cookies!
    My family would probably eat them right out of that pretty mixing bowl.

  115. Sarah lejeune

    I would love love love to win! Both my daughters are great bakers anduse kitchenaides. I would lve to have one.

  116. edgefarms

    I would have to finally break down and make those chocolate chip cookies that my 12 year old has been begging for!

  117. Christie

    Gorgeous! I would make something with pumpkin. Bread maybe or cookies. I’m reading for Thanksgiving cooking :)

  118. Jen

    Oh, it would be so hard to choose what to make first! so many possibilities!! I guess it would have to be a delicious rye bread :) thanks for the great giveaway! xox

  119. Erin Smith

    To be honest the first thing I would “make” would be simple fresh whipped cream. So delicious it can be used as a topper for any dessert.

  120. Heidi W.

    I would probably either make some yummy dessert for my family or I was also thinking it would be great to use to help my hubby grind some venison. (Someone told me that you can buy a meat-grinder attachment for this?) He’s really big into hunting & we are trying to pack the freezer full this year since money is tight. :)

  121. Karey

    Came across a recipe today that needs to mix 5 minutes per each egg. Since there are 4 eggs in the recipe thats a total of 20 minutes. My current hand mixer won’t be able to stand up to that much time. BTW the name of the recipe is Sinfully Delicious Chocolate Pie. It is on Allrecipes.com.
    I don’t have a kitchenaid, but my daughter-in-law to be does. I purchased her a scraper blade last year. So if I won I would be asking for a scaper blade for Christmas this year.
    Congrats to the winner!

  122. Rachel

    I would be able to make a DOUBLE batch of my favorite rolls! That would make me so happy with Thanksgiving right around the corner!!

  123. Miranda L.

    I would make the same thing I made with my first mixer that I recieverd for my 15th birthday… Stuffed Shells! Every time I make that it takes me right back there.

  124. Amanda

    I would LOVE To own one of these!!!! I’ve always wanted one! The first thing I’d make would probably be homemade cinnamon rolls:)

  125. Lorrie Nunemaker

    If I were to be lucky enough to win this beauty, I’d certainly use it to mix up a big batch of Butter rum Cookies!!

  126. Carole Toppen

    Oh wow–Thanks so much for this fantastic giveaway–I think the first thing I would make would be Sweet Potato Crossants–I just saw this recipe on the Sisters Cafe blog–Thought they would be great for Thanksgiving dinner.

  127. tabatha stimpson

    Ohhhh sooo many yummie goodnesses i would make!! Homemade bread is my specialty…..just ask anyone whose ever eaten it :-)

  128. DeniseG

    Cookies, because I’m 7 months pregnant and that’s the only food group I recognize. Probably followed soon after by mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving.

  129. Sara Coleman

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    I have wanted a kitchenaid mixer since I was a little girl watching my grandma use it to make her homemade bread that we would all enjoy every holiday. If I won this kitchenaid I would use it to carry on the tradition passed down through our family by making my grandmothers holiday bread.

    :)

  130. Mischa

    I would make a big batch of sugar cookies for Thanksgiving and the coolest part is I wouldn’t have to make multiple batches because unlike my current Kitchen Aid mixer, this one is big enough to handle a big batch! And it’s so pretty too!

  131. Barbara

    WOW! I would love that. I would make a fresh batch of cinnamon rolls and deliver them to all my wonderful family. Barbara

  132. LauraEmm

    The first thing I would make would be frosting for our baby gender reveal party on Thanksgiving! I am either going to fill cupcakes or a cake with pink or blue frosting for the big surprise. :)

  133. Amy Martindale

    Lemon Cake for my fiance! Or any other kind of cake… it doesnt matter… I just want to win a kitchenaid!

  134. Cindy H

    Soooo many choices but never enough time! LOL
    I hear this running around in my head…over & over again…What to make…What to make…Now, what Would I make with such a beautiful piece of the KitchenAid lineup?
    It would have to be my softest & yummiest oatmeal cookies ever with 2 secret ingredients! I haven’t made them in years – mostly because the actual recipe given to me as a teenager is for a double batch and way too much strain on the handheld electric mixer I have (and cannot find!) It makes about 12 dozen cookies So you can imagine how WONDERFUL it would be to win! I’d share them at work and at home.
    I have wanted a KitchenAid Stand Mixer for as long as I can remember.
    What a Beauty !
    I, too, would pick the Candy Apple Red one – it simply could not be any more beautiful ! After all – it’s home would be in the kitchen
    — Isn’t The Kitchen the Heart of the Home?? Could this be any more perfect ?

    Thanks K & A and the generous folks at KitchenAid for such an incredible opportunity! Congratulations to whoever the lucky winner is!

  135. AlysiaH

    I would make divinity…the last time I tried (about 5 years ago) I burned out my hand held electric mixer and have been wanting a Kitchenaid mixer for.ev.er!
    Thanks for the chance to win one! <3

  136. Noelle

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”
    The very first thing I would make, would be cinnamon rolls!!! I would LOVE to win one of these!! Thanks for the chance!

  137. Heather Brickner

    I would give it to my husband for his birthday, he loves to cook and is so good to me. He has been talking about makeing birthday cakes for his daughters.

  138. Amanda

    Ohhh I’m in love! I have wanted a candy apple red Kitchenaid stand mixer for yeeeears! The very first thing I would make would have to be my Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake… oh yeah!

    Fingers crossed!!!!

    -Amanda

  139. Sharie T

    My husband has always wanted to buy me one of these…but now is my chance to win one!!
    I learned a really great basic pound cake receipe….all you do is change the extract flavor! They would make great holiday gifts and would be really pretty in cello wrap :)
    Thanks for sharing!

  140. Nancy B.

    I’ve baked since my high school days in the 60’s, always mixing by hand. Turning 60 in January, I still make and bake the sugarplums my family has expected and loved every Christmas. I’d love to invite this beautiful machine into my kitchen to help create the Russian Teacakes, Chocolate Crinkles, Thumbprint Cookies, Italian Biscotti and more for my family this holiday season.

  141. AnnieJ

    Oh …. let me see… what would I make first ….. I’m thinking pumpkin pie – it’s the season. And then we go into the real cooking season …. Christmas!!! I bake at least 10 different cookies, then there are pies .. and the list goes on and on …. Wow I need this mixer!!!

  142. Jiji

    Mmmmm…..garlic knots! And then some eclairs. Maybe some chocolate cake? I don’t know….except my handmixer is tired of working!

  143. Jessica

    I would totally make tons and tons of cookies and then give them away (because I cant eat that many lol!) Thanks for the great giveaway!

  144. Ada

    Ooolala!
    I’m perfecting my recipe for Cranberry Bliss Bars {yes, the starbucks kind} & just in time for the holidays!
    And I NEED a bigger mixer, for Christmas Eve neighbor gifts we make Meyer Lemon Pound Cakes. Currently I can’t double the recipe, so its made in 5 batches {6 loaves per batch}. OH how I’d love to be able to double or triple this recipe.
    thanks Amanda!
    -Ada

  145. Jennifer Hargett

    Wow I’ve been wanting a new mixer! (Need one LOL)… I’d make some yummy Cupcakes in my new mixer!! Thank you Kevin & Amanda & Kitchen Aid. :)

    {Hugs & Joy}, Jenni

  146. Wendy

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    I would make some sort of dough for homemade rolls/bread. My husband’s favorite!

  147. Erin

    Ah, my holiday baking would so benefit from this! And the first thing I would make are Italian three layer cookies- yum!

  148. Nicole

    Well, after I bought a pasta attachment for it, I’d make homemade pasta! Never done it before but have always wanted to try. :)

  149. amy h

    I would make a batch of delicious cookies…what kind? I’m not sure yet, but guaranteed they will contain butter and chocolate.

  150. Kristian Ashley

    I would make french macarons…they’re the perfect blend of chemistry, art, and baking. They’re also a wonderful gift for the holidays :D

  151. Maria F

    How do I love thee Kitchen Aid mixer? Let me count the ways… :) I’ve wanted a KA stand mixer for years and would take a day off from work just to play with this if I won. I would absolutely start by making a pizza dough. How about a grilled garlic and vegetable pizza? Yum! And then I’d start some Christmas cookies. And then an Irish Cream coffee cake. And then banana bread. And then…I’d be off to the store to buy some pants with an elastic waist. :)

  152. Teri Gregg

    I’m planning our Thanksgiving dinner and will be making the traditional Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake. This mixer would be perfect for making our family specialty!

  153. Cara P

    I would make my famous choc-oat-chip cookies! Or maybe coffee cake! Or banana bread, or sugar cookies, or…. Ok, I love to bake! I would use this constantly!!!

  154. Kathy Lickenbrock

    I would make my Grandmothers Chocolate Angel Food Cake …. more than yummy, it brings back warm memories of the best cake cook ever!

  155. Mary Bosker

    The first thing I would do with this beautiful mixer is invite all my grandchildren over to make Christmas cookies. Red is beautiful!

  156. Adam Joiner

    marshmallows! or cookies, or a cake, or any of the recipes that I have seen of your site that uses one. I have been wanting one for a long time now! Love the red! my daughter just saw it and said “it’s so beautiful mommy!” I totally agree!
    Laura Joiner

  157. Gloria

    Cookies! My Christmas cookie craziness is coming up with gingersnaps, linzers, chocolate truffle cookies and chocolate chip candy cane cookies.

  158. Jodi

    The first thing I would make is a big batch of buttercream. I’ve worn two KitchenAids out already. A candy apple red one would look so lovely with gobs of delicious buttercream inside. :0)

  159. Rita Hughes

    Bread. And then, I’d make some more bread and next I’d make some other bread. You see a pattern here? I ‘heart’ bread! I’ll even make you some bread, Kevin & Amanda!

  160. Linda K

    Cinnamon Rolls, Pumpkins Squares, Pumpkin Pies. They all have to be made for Thanksgiving or my kids won’t think they’ve come home. Sure would be easier with a new, bigger mixer!

  161. Brad Johnson

    I would definitely consider making some Christmas desserts for everyone in my family and work. Unfortunately, I will not be able to go home to see family this Christmas (thanks college!), but I would definitely bake them up some goodies and get them to them somehow. Also, this would be perfect to have to make some cookies of different types for all my co-workers that will be working with me Christmas Day. Maybe some chocolate chip cookies and peppermint sugar cookies!

  162. Alyssa

    I would make a large batch of classic Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies! Followed by a month of baking for Christmas gifts! :)

  163. Cathy G

    I would love to win this mixer, as I only have a hand mixer. The first thing I would make is my Mama’s pound cake in honor of her. We had a stand mixer growing up, but I’ve never had one… who knew they would become so expensive.
    My second thing would be something hard, yeast bread, to take advantage of the marvelous mixer…. in RED please !

  164. Irene

    I’ve been wanting a red Kitchenaid mixer for soooo long! I’ve been making home made raising bread by hand – and that’s the first thing I will make when I own one of these!

  165. Diane

    I think I’d make my husband a creamy pumpkin soup, with jalapeno cheesy bread. Poor thing is sick today, and I think that would hit the spot. The mixer would be great for kneading the bread…(fingers crossed) :D

  166. Sara

    This is awesome! My mom’s mixer just died, so this would be a great Christmas gift ;) The first thing I would make would be unnecessary amounts of Christmas cookies…I’m in the spirit!

  167. Amy (Peppermint Mocha Mama)

    I would have to pick myself up off the floor first because I would surely fall over from delight! Next, I would make some zucchini bread – I can smell it now… yummy!

  168. Carolyn Hetrick

    I would make celebratory cupcakes with tons of frostings and have a decorating party! The Kitchenaid would be the star of the show!

  169. Adam and Kim

    We’d make Neimann Marcus cookies – that batter is so thick.

    I hate hand mixing it. This would be so awesome for those cookies this holiday season.

  170. Becky F.

    I would make all of my Christmas yummies with this incredible
    Mixer. Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway, and for such
    An incredible blog!!!

  171. Jennifer Haven

    Wow! What a totally awesome giveaway! I’d make my first attempts at french bread! For some reason the whole idea of kneading dough for 10 min. by hand sounds exhausting! :-)

  172. Rex Foster

    Wow such a beautiful baking Mixer….With just being a first time homeowner here in Raleigh NC. I would use this to bake and make most of the cakes and deserts to invite my Family over for my first every Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Being the only Boy in my family I was always the one who loved to bake cakes and let my mom know that I also love to cook like my sisters as well. This would make me very proud to show her that not only I’m I a pro in the kitchen I also have the right equipment to cook with. Please help my first home Christmas meal be a hit with my entire family. Thanks/ And BTW I love your website and have tried many of your recipes. THE ARE ALL GREAT!

  173. Jamie Ainsworth

    As our last mixer has died and we have a 2 1/2 year old enthralled with the holiday season this year, I would get a jumpstart on any special treat my son and I could make together. He’s a great helper in the kitchen and can’t wait to help Mommy get ready for “Feast Day” and then make cookies for Santa!

  174. Dan Johnson

    If I were the lucky winner of the new mixer, my first project would be to make a series of holiday cakes – pound cakes, bunt cakes, coffee cakes, carrot cakes, etc – and share them with friends and family.

  175. Elena Hauge

    It’s beautiful! I would make pistachio cupcakes. Yum. The winner of this contest is one lucky guy or gal. This mixer looks amazing.

  176. Channah

    I’d make the red velvet cake balls I am planning on trying out for the first time for my friend’s bachelorette party I am hosting… Sadly I will right now be making them with my about to die hand held whisk. (yeah you can pity me! You can also pity me and give me the kitchen aid :-) even better. ) – I’ll take red, black or silver… not fussy :-)

  177. Brittaney

    I’ve been asking for one of these! Our mixer broke and it’s been torture trying to bake without it! I’d make my lemon cookies- its such a thick mix that it broke my last mixer!

  178. Nicole B.

    It is hard to decide what would be the first thing I would make with this beautiful mixer because all sorts of recipes are filling my thoughts, but I think the first thing I would have to make would be some delicious cinnamon rolls!
    Thank you so much for this giveaway!

  179. Diana

    Love this color! A KitchenAid mixer has been on my wish list for a little while now. I’d try out a new recipe I’ve found for Mini pineapple upside down cakes!

  180. Drew

    We are Gator fans, although I am embarrassed to say that this year. Would love this mixer to make some Gator decorated cookies. Once a Gator always a Gator!

  181. Jen Knox

    The first thing I would make would be a fantastically rich batch of double chocolate chunk cookies! Chocolate cookie dough with chocolate chunks!

    Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  182. Cheryl V

    I’d make my grandmothers rum cake. She used to make a rum cake for our family to enjoy every year on Christmas. It’s the only recipe I managed to get from her. She’s now 92 and in a nursing home, so I have taken over rum cake duties. It’s a recipe that’s near and dear to my heart. <3

  183. Carol Remy

    I would use it daily because I love to cook and trying new recipes- – but if I received it in time for the holidays I would use the dough hook for homemade egg noodles and yeast rolls.

  184. Rebecca

    This is absolutely gorgeous… Picking the first item to make with it would be hard.. but it would be a bread of some kind or my mother’s favorite pound cake recipe for the holidays. Yeahhh we would do the pound cake as a way to honor my late mother!

  185. Sally

    The first thing I’d do is make my wonderful husband his favorite German chocolate cake!! What a wonderful giveaway. Thanks so much!!!!

  186. Helena

    OMG just in time…in my country it is 1 pm…i’d cook red velvet brownies with cream cheese frosting…delish!!!

  187. Vera

    The first thing ever that I would make on my Kitchen Aid would be Tres Leches Cake.

    I dream of owning a Kitchen Aid mixer, make it a reality! :)

  188. Lois

    How great is this? Well, who doesn’t like birthday cake? Everyone in my family does. So, we have birthdays every month. Okay, we don’t but we always find a reason to bake a birthday cake. Oh, and we love a supermarket’s frosting so much that they actually sell just the frosting straight from the bakery. I guess we aren’t the only ones who love it! So, I usually buy their frosting, but I bake my cake from scratch. Love Kitchenaid! I have a handheld Kitchenaid mixer now. But, this would be a great upgrade!

  189. Solange

    I grew up in the US, but my parents are from the French West Indies. It is a series of islands in the Atlantic that France owns… so it is French. My parents were from “St. Barts” (like the US likes to call it) but it’s actual real name is St. Barthelemy. Whenever we used to go and visit I loved this treat called: “pain de chocolat.” This is a lovely soft croissant like bread (but in the shape of a square or rectangle) with pure chocolate in the middle. Not like gooey chocolate, but just a hint to make it oh so yummy. The chocolate is so rich, that is why they only use just a little in the middle. This treat is most always served warm, like it was just baked. I learned how to make them here and I can tell you, my hands will be very happy not to have to hold the hand mixer anymore. This Kitchenaid mixer would make it so much more enjoyable to make this treat. If you want the recipe, let me know. I hope I win!!

  190. Giovanna

    It is a beauty! I would do my favorite Martha Stewart “kitchen sink cookies” – although the recipe says it’s ok to do by hand, experience tells me… one of these mixers would be so NICE!!!

  191. Becky Hewinson

    This is on my wish list! I would make cheescake. It is so hard to mix cream cheese with a hand mixer!!! Thanks for the chance to win!

  192. Tessa

    The first thing that I would make with this is Raspberry macarons filled with chocolate ganache :) (Or my favorite pizza dough, or my grandmothers secret cheese cake, which I happen to know :)

  193. Sherri Y

    *Swoon* I would make my grandmother’s pound cake recipe if I was so lucky to win this beautiful piece of deliciousness! Thanks for the opportunity to participate!

  194. penelopepitstop6

    First thing I’d make is Cinnamon rolls like my grandma used to make! I inherited her kitchen aid mixer about 18 years ago, and I believe she purchased it somewhere in the mid-70’s. I have had one of the new, shiny, lift-stand mixers on my ultimate wish list for awhile now, and my ultimate goal is to learn how to make great yeast bread that doesnt come out of the bread machine.

  195. Jamie

    This is amazing! I would try my hand at cheesecake for the first time. Pumpkin swirl cheesecake! This is what I am supposed to be bringing to Thanksgiving this year. Help me! :)

  196. Debi Booth

    OMG…Absolutely BeAuTiFuL….and an Awesome giveaway!!!
    Ooooh, I would make all of my holiday goodies with this KITCHENAID.
    Starting with my Italian sesame cookies-recipe from my sister friends family from Italy. (a tradition: I make these each year for friends and family)
    And pecan Tarts…..make the dough from scratch…everyone loves these little morsels. and sooooo much more!!!
    Love the Candy Apple Red. Thanks for this giveaway! :))
    Debi B

  197. Eliani R.

    Oh my goodness!!! Besides Holiday deliciousness, I would definitely have to break it in by making my Grandmas pineapple cheesecake:))

  198. Emily D.

    My husband is getting ready to come home from Iraq next month and his favorite is my chocolate chip cookies, so of course that would be the first thing I’d have to make!

  199. SandyF

    OMG, I want one of these so badly! Since it’s getting close to the holidays, I would probably use it to make a delicious fruitcake recipe I have or maybe homemade bread for the neighbors. Whatever I used it for, it would be way more fun than using the portable mixer I have now.

  200. Carrie

    It’s so pretty and shiny – not sure what I would make with it first though. Might just sit there and stare at it for awhile.

  201. lorraine

    My husband would make 1,000 orange-creamsicle filled cupcakes for our son’s high school fund raiser! These cupcakes are super light and fluffy and taste just like an orange creamsicle pop!

  202. Daphne

    What would I make? what wouldn’t I make? With this mixer, the possibilities are endless! Cakes, cookies, breads…. I’d make them all!

  203. Tracey P

    Banana Nutella Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. My girls have been asking me to make it again and this would be the kick I need.

  204. Pat Graham

    Thanks Kevin & Amanda for this give away! This Kitchen Aid mixer is Awesome!!! I think I would make cheesecake first, then an egg custard pie, then bread, then ………

  205. Emily B.

    I was just telling my husband today how my old Kitchen Aid is leaking oil. This would be awesome!! I would make something gluten-free for my son… maybe bread or pizza dough.

  206. AmyLynn

    First would be a couple of cranberry-pecan rye loaves – best fall bread ever and makes amazing turkey sandwiches. Yum! Thanks for the incredible giveaway!

  207. Janet

    I would make chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes for all of the company I’m having for Thanksgiving. You get good desserts at my house, turkey and dressing – questionable!

  208. Gillian Peden

    The first thing I would make with a new kitchen aide?! The possibilities are endless, however it would have to be dark chocolate chip cupcakes with peppermint vanilla butter cream!

  209. Greggette Ashford

    I would make my son’s favorite cinnamon spice cake because he wasn’t going to be able to home for thanksgiving from college but now he is.

  210. Lizzy

    I would make chocolate chip cookies with the mint chocolate m&ms I just bought! They are a christmas tradition of sorts (in that I made them last year 3 times and got a request for them already this year) at our house! I would love a beautiful red one!

  211. Celia B

    It would have to be a Red Velvet Cake to match the mixer…..I mean, come on! I would have to pick the red one….it’s so pretty!

  212. BridgetSoup

    I’d make my Grandmas morsel an cookies, but I’d bring it to her house so we can make it together :) she loves red!

  213. Annalisa

    If I won this 7 qt kitchenaide, I would make something super yummy for the holidays!! Maybe some vanilla meringues!

  214. Irene Lanigan

    I would make chocolate chip cookies! There is nothing like a warm chocolate chip cookie, right out of the oven, and a cold glass of milk! *Swoon*

  215. Stephanie

    I would make bread. Probably my sesame onion braided loaf.

    This is SO pretty, crossing all my fingers and toes :)

  216. Wendy

    I would make Mother-in-Law of the Year! haha! My darling daughter-in-law said a few weeks ago, “I wish I had registered for a Kitchenaid mixer…I didn’t know then that I would WANT one! I have one and adore it…I would give it to my darling Megan and make her happy!

  217. G. Nixon

    If I were to receive the mixer, the first thing I would make is a memory! To do that I would mix a batch of “Mom’s cookies” the only cookies that were baked at home as I grew up. (Except at Christmastime when huge varieties of cookies were produced.) The cookies were the only kind my mom baked during the rest of the year, and I have never known anyone else to make them. They had no other name than “Mom’s cookies.” Brown sugar, white sugar, lard (yes, lard!) and other ingredients were combined, formed into a ball, rolled in sugar, and then baked to make a crinkled top, crisp cookie that we thought was perfection personified. Best cookies ever. I’d make several batches to share with her grandchildren and greats so they too could have the memory.

  218. Miss Ellie's Maw

    I would make chocolate lava muffins. This mixer would make whipping the egg whites for the recipe very easy to do. Yum!

  219. Tanner Burke

    If I won a new Kitchenaid mixer i would make my amazing cinnamon rolls from scratch. with my homemade caramel glaze :) sooo good

  220. Tara

    I think I would make my famous peanut butter chocolate chip walnut cookies. You gain 6 pounds just by looking at one, but they’re delish!

  221. Holly

    I would make chocolate chip pumpkin bread. I have the ingredients ready and waiting. Oh, that sounds so good to me right now!

  222. Christi

    I just got the new book from the gals that do DC cupcakes so I would make their Lemon Blossom cupcakes from the book! :)

  223. Sara

    I would be so excited to make these Oreo chocolate chip cookies that I found on pinterest. They would be PERFECT for the cookie exchange party I’m going to in December!! Btw, would totally want the red one!

  224. Janet Smith

    Love a red mixer like a racing car for a cook – chocolate mayo cake with that great chocolate frosting – everyone would be so happy!

  225. Glenda Alman

    What a beautiful mixer! I’d whip up a Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing for my husband…. it’s his favorite cake!

  226. ImAprilE

    I would FINALLY be able to make an awesome batch of gooey chocolate chip cookies! *My last one, ehmm.. was from WalMart & broke after usage #1*

  227. Diane@LongabergerLifestyle

    Gingerbread cookies!! Followed by homemade yeast rolls!!
    My very old hand-me-down Kitchen Aid doesn’t have enough power to turn such heavy doughs nor to whip eggs or cream. To win would be a dream come true!!!
    Thanks Amanda!!!!

  228. Amanda Snow

    I’ve been wanting to try to make bread for years…haven’t given it a shot yet. Winning this would be the perfect reason to start some experimentation!

  229. Gen

    I would make French macaroons just in time for the holiday parties! And cakes, cookies, pies…I’d bake up a storm :)

  230. Margaret from Mississippi

    I’d make a pumpkin cheesecake — just got the recipe this week and am eager to try it out! Making it with this mixture would be super!!!

  231. Lauren

    I would make my husband’s grandmother’s dinner rolls. She just passed away and we all will miss those rolls… I am trying to learn!

  232. Julie

    What a lovely giveaway!! I would make bread dough…I love bread but I hate kneading it….so I would let that lovely Kitchenaid do the work for me!!!

  233. Anne

    I would make my grandmother, Naanie’s cinnamon coffee cake. A perfect way to “christen” a perfect give-a-way!

  234. Leita Farnsworth

    The first thing I would make in MY new KitchenAid mixer would be 13 grain Bread that is fabulous! And make turkey sandwiches with it with the leftovers from Thanksgiving! YUM!

  235. Kayla W.

    Oh wow, I have a few cupcake recipes that I have been dying to try and this mixer would definitely help! Thanks for the giveaway! =]

  236. Jessi

    What a beauty!!! I would make any and eveything with it! Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s…even dinner that night! Woo hoo!

  237. amanda from the mountains

    my famous chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes . . . at least, that is the treat my friends always request

  238. Kinna

    Hi there!

    First off, I’m a HUGE fan of your blog. I admire your willingness to help others out with blog designs, free fonts and digiscrapbooking freebies. Thank you kindly. As for utilizing this amazing state-of-the-art mixer, I would LOVE to try my hand at making a baked cheesecake recipe I came across on the following blog, featured at the bottom of the page:
    http://www.cocoandme.com/page/2/

    I recently tried a slice of baked cheesecake and just feell in love. It’s like no other cheesecake I’ve ever tried. I have my heart set on whipping up a similar concoction myself; but in order to produce a fluffy texture, I think I’ll need a mixer..or an incredibly strong arm, haha. Here’s to hoping!

  239. Cheryl Newton

    I bought a couple bags of those white chocolate-candy corn M&Ms before Halloween and (I know; shame on me) haven’t used them yet. So, the first thing I would make with this mxer (silver, please) is whatever yummy dessert-type item recipe I saved that calls for them. Cookie? Blondie? I read so many (way *too* many) food/recipe blogs and save so many recipes (currently 5 binders’ worth) that I can’t remember. But to break in this mixer, I won’t stop until I find that recipe!

  240. Jackie

    The first thing I would make in my new black 7-qt Bowl Lift Stand Mixer by KitchenAid is my pumpkin bread recipe. It’s a big recipe, so the extra-large mixer bowl would be great. Thanks for the chance to win!

  241. Erica R.

    If I were to win (please let it be me!), I would get a good head start on my Christmas cookie baking!!! Recipes, of course, from K&A!!

  242. Juliana Walters

    Dough for Pasties (meat pie). I usually make very large batches of them to freeze for future “quick and easy” dinners. It is a pain in the behind to do this (blend cups upon cups of flour with pounds upon pounds of butter) with a pastry hand blender.

  243. Heather G.

    Oh wow, I have so many things I would love to make with this! Cookies, cakes, bread you name it, I will make i!! I would love the black or silver one! golden(dot)reflections(at)yahoo(dot)com

  244. Lindsay L

    I would so love this kitchen aid! About 2 years ago the motor on mine burned out and I have not been able to afford another one. It was a very sad day! I would make some delicious rolls or bread as those are the times I have missed my kitchen aid the most!

  245. Wendy

    I would make cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. My current mixer looks like it will twist apart when kneading any bread. Most recipes are beyond my mixer’s capacity.

  246. Jenni Caswell

    I’d make something sweet for sure. I have so many new recipes saved on Pinterest, so I’d probably pick one of those! Thanks!!

  247. Brittany

    Christmas isn’t that far away! I think I would start my baking early with a huge variety of cookies to give to people.

  248. Michelle

    I would definitely make my great grandmother’s sour cream cut out cookie recipe! It is dangerously bad for you, but so amazingly delicious. It is a family tradition that we make every year! Because it makes such a thick, heavy dough, a kitchen aid mixer would make the cookie baking tradition even more fun!

  249. Paulette Stewart

    Oh my my my!!!! What a generous giveaway! Oh gosh, I LOVE to bake, but I have to keep it gluten-free. So most likely I’d make a gluten-free Cinnamon Apple Cake. Scrumptuous! And the apple cake would go quite well with the red mixer! :) Thanks for the chance!

    Paulette

  250. MaryEllen Briseno

    What would I make what with the Christmas holidays coming up? What else but…….COOKIES!!!! lots and lots! :-)

  251. Laura Rich

    Banana bread as the recipe I use nearly overflows my 4.5 qt mixer and I have a bunch of bananas just about at the right stage!!

  252. Abby Yoder

    OMW! This is on the top of my Christmas List!! I would definately make a yummy cheesecake if I had one of these lovelies sitting on my counter!!:)

  253. Pam H.

    The first thing I’d make with the new mixer is my mother’s chocolate pound cake with chocolate fudge icing!!! Yum!

  254. Jenny Johns

    Oh my gosh…is this not the prettiest mixer?!!!! After inviting my friends over to stare at how pretty it is for at least an hour…I would finally get the nerve to mix up cake recipes for cake pops and cupcakes! Then I would mix up some cookie dough; then I would go on to pies; then… *chuckle* This would be a dream….swoon~

  255. Kirt

    I’d make potato rolls. I have this family recipe that always overflows the bowl in my current mixer. It makes it tricky to get the dough to the smooth consistency that I like.

  256. slbowling

    Never had a mixer like this so not sure what I would make. But it would be fun to try any recipe using this beautiful mixer.

  257. Meaghan

    I would make cranberry bread. It’s a tradition that my mom and I make this bread every Christmas Eve and then the whole family eats it for breakfast on Christmas morning.

  258. fran vanStaalduinen

    Hope that I win this…I would make some yummy sweet potato crescent rolls in the beautiful silver mixer.

  259. Katie C.

    My fiance Andy and I would make our wedding cake with this bad boy. Hooray for being in love and trying to plan a wedding on a shoe string!

  260. Audra

    My famous Chocolate Chip Cookies! If it got here before Thanksgiving I would make my pumpkin pie bars, cream my potatoes…oh the possibilities!

  261. Darnell Burrows

    My goodness………….what a dream hoping to come true!
    I would prepare a Cream Cheese Butter Shortbread Dough to make exquisite Christmas Cookies! Cookies so delicious but too beautiful to eat are my goals each time I mix up the dough, bake, and decorate! I LOVE Kitchen Aid!
    “Darnell will you take this brand new 7-Quart Kitchen Aid Giant Mixer to be your lawful wedded partner till death do you part?” I DO!
    “Kitchen Aid Mixer, will you take Darnell as your partner in making the greatest cookies imaginable till death do you part?” HELL YEA!
    “I pronounce you both Mr. & Mrs. Kitchen Aid!”
    Amanda, send me my partner PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

  262. Litsa Jackson

    Just yesterday when I was making a cake, I was letting my mind wonder….If money was unlimited, I would buy a KITCHENAID mixer! It is beautiful! My daughter and I would make traditional, Greek Christmas cookies—melomakarina!

  263. Amilia @justeverydayme

    I don’t have a stand mixer but would love one! I would probably make either some ridiculously chocolatey fudgey cookie, or a bundt cake to try out my new bundt pan!

  264. Linn Hawkins

    I finally got a donut recipe I’ve been dieing to try
    So I would make those for my grandchildren
    At my Christmas grandma party

  265. Arlene

    What a fantastic giveaway! The first thing I would make is a scrumptious pumpkin and cream cheese bundt cake for my family.

  266. Christie Lewis

    I’ve been wanting a Kitchenaid mixer forever! I am the mother of four boys so I feel like I live in the kithen! This mixer would really help me to speed up my cooking time and allow me to spend more time outdoors with the boys.
    Thank you for this opportunity!

  267. Wendy Rupper

    So pretty! And BIG! If I won this mixer I’d make a full batch of bread dough, then give most of the bread away before I eat it all! Oh, the double-sized batches of goodness I could bake!

  268. Donn Wilson

    Cinnamon rolls! It has gotten cold in Illinois and the smell of cinnamon rolls would warm the house up. (and my attitude towards winter would be warmed up a little also). What a cool giveaway. Thanks ;)

  269. Jan Johnson

    Easy decision….I would make these biggest batch of chocolate chip cookies!! Can’t beat tradition. Can already smell them baking in the oven.

  270. Kate Retherford

    I would make my favorite pineapple fruit dip with pineapples, marshmallows, and cream cheese. So yummy!

  271. Carlie K.

    I would make my husband’s favorite bread to send him while he’s in Afghanistan! And that is chocolate zucchini :) Hope I win!

  272. Georgia

    In memory of my great-grandmother, I would get my grandmother to teach me how to make Grandmaw’s homemade custard-based banana pudding.

  273. aidan

    This would make a great gift for my mom. I am an only child and my mom and dad have always been the best to me. Now that I am a father myself, I look back on all the wonderful things they did for me. I would be most honored to give this KitchenAid mixer to my mom, who deserves it so much. If I can think about what she would make with it.. I think she would make my favorite Blue-Berry-Muffin-Loaf. She used to make those for me and mail them to me in college. I love you mom. Sincerely, Aidan

  274. JaCobi

    I’d make your chocolate chip cookie, oreo, brownie goodness in my shiny new beautiful candy-apple red KitchenAid! Yummy! And thanks for the chance to win!

  275. Sonya

    Wow…that is a beautiful mixer! The first thing I would make is cupcakes and secondly, whip up some butter cream frosting. Thanks!

  276. Jo Lynn Mahan

    I would LOVE to make a cheesecake. I have wanted to make one ever since I received a set of three springform pans for my wedding… three years ago. There are just some things a hand mixer can’t do!

  277. Stacy

    I would make a big batch of snickerdoodles! We don’t even have a mixer to make cookies for Christmas this year.

  278. kayla

    This is awesome. I need a mixer so bad. I love baking and my handheld mixer is not always up for the job. I would make a vanilla cake or pumpkin cookies!

  279. Marcia

    I would make a double recipe of Pumpkin Bread. The bowl is so nice and big! I’d give some away and keep one for lil’ ole me!

  280. Donna

    What a great machine!!! I’d love it to bake up a batch of cookies for my kids.

    Thanks for the opportunity,
    Donna

  281. Michaela

    The first thing that I would make is the pumpkin roll my husband has been asking for. Thanks for the opportunity!!

  282. Dana Nelms

    The first thing I would make would by Yummy Chocolate Cake. I won the regional Girl Scout baking competition when I was in the 5th grade with this cake! My old mixer recently “died”, so I need a new one!
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  283. Janeen

    I would make my mom’s chocolate chip cookies. (And maybe for once they would turn out as yummy as when she makes them!)

  284. LeahS

    Wow! Nice!! If I won the mixer, I would honor my husband’s deceased and beloved Nanny by making her pound cake. It was always a family favorite!

  285. Shannon

    Oh My!!! I would LOVE the new red mixer as it would match my newly redecorated kitchen. I believe I would probably make pumpkin bread or pumpkin cake or pumpkin scones…oh, oh, oh or pumpkin cheesecake…considering the season and all!! LOL Or I would get out my dough hook and make some homemade rolls…Mmmmmm With a family of 6, this larger size would work GREAT for us! :)

    I have a smaller size KA stand mixer that is white (no longer matches anything in my house! LOL) and I would LOVE to be able to gift it to a friend who has just started baking and could really use one!! :)

    Thanks for your consideration, Amanda! :) Love reading your posts!! :)

  286. valerie

    i would LOVE to make youre recipe for the best chocolate cake !! and youre easy homade ice cream recipe too :)
    and every big cook seems to have one and i am dying to recreate all youre recipes!!
    SOO EXCITED!! (fingers crossed) ;)

  287. Jennifer Bunderson

    I know that I would love to make something fancy, but would instead end up making cookies because everyone loves cookies especially with a good mixer!!!
    Thanks!

  288. Hilda

    I would beg my mother in law for her tea cake recipe and convince her I have to break in this new kitchen aid mixer.

  289. Joscelyn Rivers

    I would love a red one! The first thing I would make would be my families famous anise seed cookies!! :)

  290. Ellie

    *gasp* It’s so pretty in red! I would definitely try one of the recipes that I have been putting off because of the major muscle power that I would need to use without a stand mixer. There are so many choices, so many possibilities!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  291. Julie Carpenter

    What is the first thing I would make with my new Kitchenaid mixer, you ask? That is easy, I would use it to make the gingerbread for my annual gingerbread house. My little hand held mixer is barely hanging on. It would be wonderful to have such a powerful high quality baking tool. My list of uses could go on and on!

  292. Emma T

    My current addiction is cupcakes. So I would probably spend days making cupcakes, especially ones with a surprise in the middle, like cookie dough, cream cheese, snickers, peanut butter, etc.

  293. Rachel Elliott

    Well — I am prego and I am having the baby next Tuesday … so I would make a “birthday” cake for the baby for when people come over to meet the baby for the first time they can have some cake to celebrate the birth of our little girl! So much fun!!

  294. Pam D. from MI

    OH my gosh, I dream about this beautiful red mixer sitting on my kitchen counter! I would make tons of christmas cookies to give as gifts.

  295. Anne Wilson

    If I win this gorgeous mixer I will be in the kitchen for days! The first thing I’ll make is pizza dough, then a carrot cake, followed by lots of biscuits (cookies)!

  296. Jana

    I would use it to mix up some bun dough–love making (and eating) buns, but hate getting the dough stuck under my nails and in the grooves of my wedding ring!

  297. Anne Hargreaves

    I just love the candy red colour and it would look so good in my kitchen! Thanks for the chance to win it. The first thing I would make in it is pancakes!

  298. Stephanie Tarter

    I would make a zebra cake for my daughter’s upcoming 13th birthday party. A cake a saw on pinterest!

  299. Taylor

    I live in a sorority house and we aren’t allowed to actually use the kitchen to bake anything…and I LOVE to bake. I would bake at my boyfriend’s place but, being a boy, he doesn’t have a mixer. I’ve been itching to bake something for months, so the first thing on my list would have to be the “Ultimate Chocolate Cookie n’ Oreo Brownie Bar. Without a doubt.

  300. Peggy Murphy

    If I win this I’m going to give it to my daughter as she has wanted one for so long and enters every competition she sees but so far has had no luck. I’m sure the first thing she would make in it is my favourite cake, a porter cake.

  301. PatriciaD

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”
    I would make bread in my brand new candy apple red Kitchenaid mixer. I love the smell of baking bread but find it hard to make on a weekly (regular) basis so hope this would be that little extra incentive to do so.

  302. Patricia P.

    I would make cake, and cookies, and, and so many other things. I would choose red also! Winning would be a fabulous birthday present! lol!

  303. Donna

    Oh the things I could make…… I’d have to start with pumpkin pie and fresh whipped cream! ‘Tis the season!

  304. Kate Fortune

    I have never had a mixer and would so love one, especially this absolutely lovely KitchenAid. It takes me so long to do everything by hand. Oat cookies are the first thing I would make as it normally takes me forever to do them. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to win this.

  305. Tasha K.

    I have been wanting this for so long!! And just in time for the holidays! This is the first year I will be doing goodies for the holidays and it would be awesome to use this!! My favorite and first thing that would be made is my grandmother’s snicker doodles!!

  306. Kerry

    What a beauty! If i had a kitchen aid, I’s have to break it in with a classic batch of chocolate chip cookies .

  307. Jenny L.

    I would definitly make a huge double batch of christmas sugar cookies with extra creamy buttercream frosting!! SO FUN!

  308. Meaghan

    What a wonderful giveaway! I’ve been pining for one of these. I’d probably make some delicious cupcakes first, just to break it in :) Thanks for the wonderful opportunity!

  309. Carol

    What an awesome give-away! I would love to make some pumpkin bread and pumpkin cupcakes for Thanksgiving. And then…chocolate chip cookies, red velvet cupcakes, banana bread, brownies…and the list goes on! What fun!

  310. Monica

    It’s time to start making holiday cookies! I think I’d have to start with some cute sugar cookies, then some snickerdoodles, then maybe peanut butter, and then many many others! Great giveaway, & I LOVE that candy apple red color :)

  311. Jeanne N.

    I would be very excited to win a mixer. My old one stopped working last Christmas when I was trying to make some candy. I have really bad arthritis in my hands, so mixing is difficult. The first thing I would make is a huge batch of my families favorite chocolate chip cookies! Yum!

  312. Becky

    I’ve never had a KitchenAid, but have definitely wished for one. I’d make cookies with it as soon as I had it (if I won, of course)!

  313. Janeen DeRosa

    I would make “meatball” cookies. It is a family favorite that I don’t make often due to how hard they are to mix. My new mixer would make it so much easier.

  314. Rae Lynn Guevara

    I think I would make my famous chocolate chip cookie recipe that a wonderful Mormon woman let me have. It is a super-sized recipe that I can only make half of since it’s too big for my regular Kitchenaid mixer. If I could make the entire recipe at once I would make an entire school of teachers and staff very, very happy!

  315. Courtney

    Holiday monster cookies – ones with orange and brown M&Ms for Thanksgiving, and Red and Green for Christmas time :)

  316. tracy Knutsen

    This is awesome! My daughter gave me a Kitchen Aid for Christmas last year. She now has her own apartment and I would give one to her. I’ve made a book of family recipes for her, as well. I would hope that she’d make one of our favorites…Coconut Pound Cake.

  317. Edward

    This would be a fabulous Christmas gift for my wife. It would be a nice way of saying, “I love you honey, so here is a beautiful KitchenAid mixer in red, your birth stone color… Merry Christmas!” I am hoping this would make for some yummy cookies & deserts in return! Kevin and Amanda, you rock! Thanks for offering this awesome KitchenAid mixer! Fingers crossed that we can save some money and I can give her this mixer as probably the best Christmas gift ever!

  318. LCSmithSAVED

    You would have to ask my daughter – it will be hers since she has started to try to persuade me to, and I quote, “…loan me yours for an indefinite length of time…”! She is 35 weeks pregnant & has “an urge to bake.”

  319. Annette Turner

    I just can’t pass this up! I love my kitchen aid mixer and would love the opportunity to give one to one of my sons. They all love to cook/bake and have enjoyed many goodies throughout the years. The first thing I would make would be the biggest batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies ever! Seven quarts…can’t even imagine! Thank you for this chance!

  320. Cristin (Pinkie) of Cristin's Cookies

    I would give this mixer to my beautiful 27-year old daughter that just got married this past summer. I can promise you that the first thing she would make is homemade decorated sugar cookies – with her mom!

  321. Tina W.

    I would create a forrest floor full of autumn leaves, a couple of turkeys, a few squirrels and maybe an owl or two (sugar cookies decorated with royal icing) to celebrate the season :)

  322. Beverly R.

    I would totally make all my holiday goodies with this amazing Kitchen Aid mixer! To start the holiday season, I would make some delicious Pumpkin Pie Cake, and then mix up all my cookies for the Christmas season. I am drooling over this mixer right now!

  323. Karen Hunsaker

    Oooo, what would I make first????? Well, how about a nice dessert – Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt cake. Oh, please pick me!

  324. Emily

    I think I just let out a little yell when I saw that picture. I mean, really, it even comes in RED. Ahhhhh!!!! I have been a bit obsessed with making croissants lately, but it is a bit more difficult to get the dough just right with a handheld, so I would definitely do another batch of croissants, but maybe this time I’ll add some chocolate and almonds. yummmmm.

  325. Doralyn Rush

    I would make something pumpkin because I luuurve the flavor and I’m always mixing up something pumpkinish these autumn days, so…pumpkin cheesecake!

  326. Katherine Lee

    I would probably make a batch of cowboy cookies first, then start on holiday baking! What a great prize, thank you for the chance to win!
    Thanks,
    Katherine

  327. Sandra

    I will start baking and practicing for having the best cake and cookies for Christmas; of course I will make gum paste to decorate my cake.

  328. Desire' Heatherly

    Thank you kindly for this giveaway! I would love to win this for my
    Mom and I to use, but not sure how much of a
    Chance I stand. I’d make Christmas cookies-
    Assuming I get it in time for Christmas! Red
    Is such a festive color!

  329. Laurie W.

    Wow! You guys rock!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win this KitchenAid Mixer!!!
    I would mix up a batch of Whole-wheat Butterscotch/Huckleberry Cinnamon Rolls and then, while they are rising, I would make some homemade vanilla wafers……Keeping my fingers crossed!!

  330. Gina B.

    Cookies and cake . . . and every new tasty recipe I could find because the KitchenAid mixer would make preparation a breeze!

  331. Regina

    I think I would practically LIVE in the kitchen with this mixer! I would make Christmas cookies for all girls on my daughter’s basketball team.

  332. jolynn

    I would make a pumpking roll and some cupcakes for my daughter’s baby shower. then I would give it to my really talented baking daughter to make lots of other yummy treats with.

  333. Stephanie B

    I just happened to look at your page today to show my friends the ice cream recipe and get a few fonts and I see this!!

    The first thing I would make would be Grasshoppers (blenders don’t seem to make a big enough batch for us!). My grandma used to make them for us when we were little (virgin ones of course). With her gone we still keep the tradition alive and joyous! If I win EVERYONE can come over for Grasshoppers and a few laughs :)

  334. juls

    Iwould make holiday goodies in my new apartment for everyone at my new job!!! Would LOVE to win this!!! Thanks for the opportunity!

  335. Megan

    Oh my goodness! This could not have came at a better time! I have two hand mixers and they both stopping working last week. This mixer is a dream! This first thing I would make would be my awesome peanut butter cookies!

  336. Stacy

    Hello,
    I’d love to make my sons birthday cakes with this mixer. (I’ve never owned a kitchen aid mixer,but remember using one baking with my mom Jackie and our adopted mom, Bev. Good times!). My two sons have birthdays coming up. I’ve already got requests. ;) I’d love to make the cake Best Chocoloate cake ever recipe you posted. No, not attempting to earn any extra points here, it’s their favorite! The requests are for lightening mcqeen/mater cake and a toad cake from Mario Brothers. Not sure what I’ll pull off, but would love to give it a whirl with this mixer.

    Thanks for the chance to enter and to share some memories.
    -Stacy

  337. DeAnne Smith

    The first thing that I would make would be cream cheese pumpkin bread…it’s devine and what a better way to celebrate a new mixer than cream cheese pumking bread?

  338. Tanya

    Mmmm……That red is AMAZING! I would probably have to make a decadent chocolate cake with buttercream icing — nothing makes buttercream icing quite like a stand mixer! Thanks for the chance to win!

  339. april m

    I’d make Turkey shaped sugar cookies to bring on the holidays and get me excited for this happy time of year! Then I’d deliver the cookies to people I love :)

  340. jen

    I love this! I dont even own a hand mixer – so if I won this the first thing I would make is bread – yummy sourdough with bits of rosemary and thyme…thanks for the giveaway!

  341. Desi

    I’d use it to make tons of cookies! Like some red velvet cookies. I’ve wanted a mixer for so long, thanks for the chance to win!!! :)

  342. Emily

    Well, this year we will be spending Christmas on our own, since I will be 8 1/2 month pregnant. Thus I will use this wonderful beauty to make our favorites….mashpotatoes, stuffing, chocolate cake and so much more! It will be inducted into our family with a wonderful feast of goodies! Thanks for such a great chance to win! I just love that red too!

  343. Jessica D.

    Wow! That mixer is gorgeous. I would definitely make some sweet potato cupcakes with toasted marshmallow frosting for Thanksgiving!! :D Whoever wins this is super lucky. Good luck to everyone!

  344. Carla J in AR

    The first thing I would make in my brand new RED kitchenaid mixer would be a batch of my mother-in-laws rolls…YUM!!!!!!!

  345. Pascale

    LOVE this giveway!!! The first thing I made in my mixer was a fresh strawberry layer cake for my little sister’s 21st birthday!!!

  346. Katie Hunter

    I’m asking for something like this for Christmas!! I would definitely make some pumpkin bread to have at the tailgate for the Auburn vs Alabama game!

  347. Jessica Y.

    Wow! What a giveaway. I would definiately make apricot oatmeal bars – great snack for the kids and something I love for a quick breakfast when I am running short on time.

  348. The31Woman

    With the large capacity work bowl, I would make a quadrupple batch of freshly ground whole wheat bread and have some to give away!

    And, I love the red!

  349. Kathy H

    I would make bread for my grandson. Our little grandson has a peanut allergy and we have to make all of our own baked goods now. Our old kitchenaid mixer just quit working from all the bread making it has done this jpast year. Would be wonderful to win this one!

  350. Dee

    WOW! I would love to win this Mixer!!! What a great way to break in the mixer by mixing up a batch of giant chocolate chip cookies… then a pumpkin cheese cake… some pumpkin nut bread… can’t forget some yummy cupcakes! The list goes on and on!!!!

  351. missty

    I would bake my little heart out…I would start with holiday cookies and make my way to a few pies for the family for the holidays.

  352. Sandi

    I would make my hobo bread recipe. It’s such a great recipe for fall and the holidays are coming up. I’ve got the soup cans and coffee cans ready to go.

  353. Kyla

    I scream! You scream! We all scream for ICE CREAM!!!!!! If I won the Kitchenaid Giveaway, the first thing I would make with this mixer is homemade ice cream!!!

  354. Norman's daughter

    I would make cheesecake in memory of my father then whip up perfect meringue for my mom’s lemon pie and banana pudding.

  355. Cindy Klinowski

    I never win anything but here goes. I would first make the pasta then the filling for my Nona’s Homemade Italian Tortelli. I would have my children help so they will continue some of their Italian heritage. After I made this I would donate it to an Assisted Living Facility who desparately needs a mixer.

  356. Mandy Larson

    This is on my Christmas “wish” list :) I’d make these amazing rolls for Thanksgiving dinner, I need the Power Knead Dought Hook!!

  357. Dee Dee

    Is there ANYTHING that I wouldn’t make with it – let’s see – how about pies, cakes, cookies – so glad the holidays will be here soon.

  358. Leisa

    Definitely a yummy dessert for Thanksgiving. Maybe a pie dough for pumpkin pie, or a filling for a pumpkin cheesecake? Hummm…the possibilities are endless.

  359. Big Red

    If I win this, the first thing I would make is . . . one happy girlfriend! She would practically “kill” to get her hands on this. I’d even help her make my favorite pound cake!

  360. Jenn

    My sister and I have a tradition of baking cookies for Christmas and this would definitely be a star in our line up of tools and maybe even let us try some things we hadn’t done before since neither of us has one.

    Merry Christmas to us and our family/friends/co-workers that get the goods as a result! :D

  361. Renee

    oooooh, aaahhhh, my, my, my – what a gorgeous piece of machinery. I have got to get one of those!!!! There is a chocolate cake just waiting to be made!

  362. Jessica

    Something I’ve been dying to make all month – Pumpkin Rolls! I love Pumpkin :) and it would be amazing to make them in an awesome Kitchen Aid Mixer instead of my old hand mixer!

  363. Kristin Laponis

    I would make my great-grandmother’s chocolate cake with the most fantastic white whipped frosting that tastes like marshmallow cream. The frosting is a labor of love and my hand mixer just doesn’t cut the mustard. :)

  364. Riana

    I would probably make bread. Then I would want to try out everything I could possibly make with it so it would open up a whole new world for meals! :)

  365. Sherry Vanicek

    Oh my!! I would make a batch or two of Brioche. There’s nothing like the smell of bread baking in the oven. I like to make whipped butter and put a big dollop on the bread while it’s still warm. So yummy!!!

  366. Kristin C

    The first thing I would make would be fresh bread. French bread, rolls, healthy nut breads, etc. I hate the high fructose corn syrup in store bought bread, and I would love to be able to make fresh bread all the time. I would definitely have to test out many other recipes though! I have never had/used a stand mixer before, and I would love to win this!

  367. Sarah

    I would make a few batches of stuffed cupcakes…probably some black forest, peanut butter cup, lemon curd, and maybe some pumpkin cinnamon for the holidays!!! Please, please, please! My mixer just burned up!!! Please, please, please!!!

  368. Debbie Bamer

    I would make bread. It would be so easy to knead the bread with a heavy duty mixer. Can’t wait to smell that wonderful yeasty smell coming from my oven!!

  369. victoria

    silver, please. i’d make a recipe from my cousin, rachel. she taught me how to use on of these and told me i must have one. and she led me to discovering this blog. rachel, let cross our fingers together!!! :o)

  370. Kindyll A

    I would love to make homemade bread! i have been scared to make bread without a big mixer@ My little hand held mixer just won’t cut it!

  371. Kristen Buley

    Oh my ! Big red would look lovely on my counter!!! I can’t wait to make a peanut butter cheesecake!!!! Mmmmmm!

  372. Cheri

    I’d actually give it to my daughter who is graduating from college as a teacher in a couple weeks … I think she’d make chocolate chip cookies in it!

  373. Theresa R.

    I am new to this site and was looking for a “Perfect Chocolate Cake” recipe. I came across the recipe that uses devil’s food cake and pudding, and I am so excited to try it because the pictures look amazing! That is what I would make with my new Kitchen Aide 7 quart mixer!

  374. Gretta

    Sweet potato casserole ~ mixing the sweet potatoes with all the other ingredients in the recipe would be a lot easier in this mixer.

    bamagv at aol dot com

  375. Jessica

    Would love to make pumpkin spice latte cupcakes in this. Its my dream to own one of these! Love your blog, you guys are so creative and talented! Thank you!

  376. Arilla

    The first thing that I would make is sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving. It was my daddy’s favorite and after 20+ years I think I’ve finally convinced my Yankee (and I mean that in the most loving way) husband that there’s no better Thanksgiving treat.

  377. Sharlee@believinginsomething

    The very first thing I would make is banana bread. My mother-in-laws recipe. It’s my husband’s favorite and mine never works out quite right (not that he’d ever complain) but I sure notice. I’m convinced it’s due to my lack of a mixer and not my lack of baking skills!

  378. Angel Zoll

    Any recipe “doubled” 4 kids ago the standard size mixer was great, but now they eat a single batch of anything in one sitting. It would be awesome to throw double ingredients in without having to make the recipe twice :D…

  379. Kathryn

    Holy Cow! This is AMAZING!!!! I have really wanted to try to make bread. Seeing that I only have a hand mixer, that has never been an option for me. How would I mix together 5 to 6 cups of flour with a hand mixer!? UGH!! With this beauty, I bet I could make the best bread EVER!!! Thanks for the chance to win! :)

  380. Caroline

    Just in time for the start of the holiday season? Cookies would definitely be the order of the day (although I’m dying to make a spice cake!).

  381. Charlene Smith

    Not only would this be a great item for my 3 kids (and one on the way) to enjoy at Christmas, but this will come in very handy when we make Christmas treats to donate to the battered women’s shelters and organizations for at risk youth.

  382. Emily

    I would help my mom make Makowiec, a Polish poppy seed roll/cake that we make every year for Christmas and then later on for Easter. A must in any Polish household/

  383. Courtney

    Oh man, this would be PERFECT in my kitchen!!! I would so make simple and wonderful cookies – and eat that raw cookie dough throughout the process ;)

  384. Cathy Willman

    Oh Boy! I would Get Cookin’ making my Christmas cookie staples: pfeffernuss, springerle, and peanut butter truffles.

  385. Veronique Allard

    Hi! I was inspired by your Halloween French macarons post, so I would make Christmas macarons!! Huuuuummm!

  386. Joyce Y

    I would most definitely whip up a batch of cupcakes. Maybe chocolate with coffee frosting, or yummy pumpkin with salted caramel frosting. Choices, choices!! We just remodeled the kitchen and it would be beautiful sitting on my new granite countertop !!

  387. Jodi

    What would I make? Hmmm. How can I choose! So many things I could make with this. I have Christmas cookies galore to make. With this mixer it would cut down my dough making time. I wonder how many batches of dough I can make at once?! Wow! Ok, that was a long answer. The short answer to the question: COOKIES, COOKIES AND MORE COOKIES! :)

  388. Katie G.

    If I were to win the new 7-Quart Kitchenaid, I would make a double (or even triple) batch of chocolate chip cookies. Simple? Yes, but a staple, and a favorite of my students! Mmmm! :)

  389. jean

    most likely, it would be my first baking recipe which i don’t know yet. you see, i’m starting my baking lessons next week :) but i’m hoping it would be something chocolatey! can’t wait!!!!

  390. Skyecatt

    The first thing I would make is my beloved, 92 year old Grandmother’s Lemon Pound Cake. This recipe was a luxury in World War Two, but she still managed to scrape together this wonderful cake using butter she churned herself, eggs from her laying hens, and sugar and flour using ration stamps! In the 50’s, Grandma started using a mixer to make this amazing cake, and the rest is history!

  391. Melody Steiner

    Honestly i don’t know if i could narrow it down :) But i’d actually probably give it to my sister. She has been wanting one for years and i know she’d appreciate it even more than me! :)

  392. Kathy M.

    My favorite roll out/cut out cookies and icing using the Christmas shape cookie cutters that Mother used to make them for me with!

  393. Brittany

    I would make loads and loads of cookies! And try my hand at homemade donuts! My mom had a kitchenmaid mixer that I used all the time but my fiance and I just moved into our first place and I miss it so much! Nothing else is quite the same…or quite as easy and time saving. lol! :)

  394. Sara

    Oh, it’s so pretty! I would probably start mixing up some Christmas cookies first thing. And then I would need the ice cream maker attachment right away to make some Jack Daniel’s chocolate ice cream. Seriously, you have no idea.

  395. Shelley C.

    I would make a delicious carrot cake with cream cheese frosting or whip egg whites to delightful yummy ness!

  396. Judy

    Be still my heart — my dream machine!! I would make homemade marshmallows for my hot chocolate mix to give for Christmas gifts.

  397. debe h

    I could make enoug banana bread to keep my hubby happy for a while…it,s my birthday so please pick me!!!!!!!!thanks k&a.

  398. kat

    Oh m’gosh! I would make a quadruple batch of sugar cookie dough and cut out hundreds of kitchen aid stand mixer shapes and ice them in a rainbow of colors!

  399. Christina Woodbury

    Thanks for the chance to win. I would make bread and cookies. There is nothing like homemade bread.

    Christina

  400. Danielle Breedlove

    Oh.my.happiness. What a lovely KitchenAid mixer.

    Thanks for the chance to win, Amanda!

  401. KayLynne Bobbitt

    The first thing I would make, would most likely be some peanut butter pies for my family’s Thanksgiving!

  402. heather vitry

    I would make either homemade angel food cake or mashed poatatoes. Those are 2 of the favorite things of my 9 children and husband.

  403. Christina W

    Oooohhhh….. Drooling over this mixer! I would start with some gooey cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. I always want those in the fall.

  404. Megan P

    I recently came across a recipe for pumpkin spice cookies with cream cheese frosting. I would definitely make those if I won!!

  405. MoonGlitzBrenda

    I would make what I always make, cookies. Rich roll butter cookies. I would love this large beautiful mixer. Make mine red please. My most favorite color.

  406. Heather Johnson

    I would make EVERYTHING it it!!! I probably would start with sugar cookies and corn syrup glaze. I would make cookies for the local children’s hospital and for bake sales at the school I work at. Then I would make food for my family such as whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread!

  407. Monica Ramos

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    I would make a HUGE batch of cookies for my family christmas!

  408. Mellie

    The first thing that I would make would be Christmas divinity. Oh how I love it and what I love even more is, making it for my Grandma! :)

  409. Sigalit Chana

    I would use the silver beauty to make a Dominican Raspberry cake that my good friend has made for me before… =)

  410. joellen

    i would make chocolate chip cookies and dance around the room singing…..
    “look ma…..no hands” as the mixer does its’ thing without me!!!!

    Yippeeee and Thanks for the chance to win!

  411. Kimberly (Sweet Creations)

    I would make COOKIES!!!!!!!! I have a cookie business and this would help me out sooo much!!! Awesome giveway and thanks for doing it!!!!

  412. Karen

    First up, pumpkin bread (from scratch). Close second would be buttercream icing. I guess a cake or cupcakes for the icing would be third. :)

  413. Svetlana

    Oh I would love to have this to help with my daughter’s 2nd birthday sweet table, Minnie mouse cupcakes, Minnie mouse mini cakes, mine mouse mini cheesecakes, Minnie mouse Cookies!!!!!

  414. Kyra Harris

    Love your website! Love the fact that you love cupcakes and all things sweet! I have been coveting the candy apple red Kitchenaid mixer for a while now and this one is GORGEOUS! If I am lucky enough to ever own one, I would make a batch of Chocolate Crinkle cookies (holiday family favorite)!

  415. memory

    my mom would LOVE this (that’s who i would give it to)… it would match her kitchen perfectly. she might would bake bread, mash some potatoes, mix cornbread and who knows what else for the first time in it :)

  416. Martha

    I have a friend who is trying to build a catering business. She is also going through a very hard emotional and financial time. So if I won the mixer I would give it to her. Because it would not only help her business but lift her spirits as well. And she could really use that right now. The silver one would be perfect!

  417. Lindsey

    With my new Kitchenaid stand mixer, I would spread Christmas cheer through my hometown by baking lots of loaves of homemade cinnamon bread and passing them to those less fortunate than me with a scripture attached such as this one:
    1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

  418. Monica Wadsworth

    If I were to win this awesome giveaway of the mixer, I would try to make my mother a coconut cream pie for Thanksgiving dinner.

  419. cindy butler

    i’d begin baking all those special christmas cookies to share with my friends and family! i love the holidays and i love to bake -all year long! (and i’d so love the red mixer!)

    cindy

  420. christine

    cookies for sure…i’ve been working on a recipe and trying to perfect it, so probably endless batches of those :)

  421. melissa

    I just started baking but almost all recipes I’ve found require a kitchenaid, so the first thing I would make is buttercream so I can stop using can frosting..

  422. Meagan

    I would make cookies for the holidays!! It would make it so much easier for me to make my frosting for my cakes too!!!

  423. Jill

    I JUST got a Kitchenaid for myself, after drooling over them for years. It’s the green apple color and it makes me smile! BUT, my mom has always wanted one too, and I’d love to be able to surprise her with this!! I’m still wanting to try out some of your homemade ice cream recipes with my mixer!

  424. Pat McDaniel

    I would make whatever Cooper would like. Cooper is my 2.5 year old granddaughter. She would probably like some kind of cupcake.
    Cooper has a great little play kitchen that she spends hours in. She is always making me cup cakes. Her kitchen is red, so I would have to pick the red mixer.

  425. Frances

    I’d make the biggest batch of ginger spice cookies and royal icing to decorate them in it. I’ve wanted this size mixer since I saw the announcement earlier this year. I’ve always wanted a red one! I could make a triple batch in this mixer which would be a huge time saver!!!

  426. Linda

    The first thing I would make would be pumpkin bread. Haven’t had any yet this fall & it would be the perfect thing…

  427. Jannette

    There is a bread recipe that I have of my grandmother’s that I have never made because it requires a heavy duty mixer. I only have a hand mixer, which is not strong enough to mix the ingredients. Then, I would go crazy and start my holiday baking.

  428. Ken

    This would be a great gift for my wife…I can’t imagine the first thing she would make, but it would be awesome for sure

  429. keri

    I would LOVE to win the Kitchenaid and I would whip up sugar cookies using my Grandma’s recipe to bake and decorate with my two boys :)

  430. Jeanetta DeBusk

    That mixer is soooo awesome! I’d make a big batch of sugar cookie dough and icing so I could try to decorate them as well as my favorite decorators. Thanks for the inspiration!

  431. Farahh

    I think.. Chocolate Macarons! :) I’ve been wanting to make them since ages!! If plans change later then perhaps dark chocolate cake or just simple red velvet with cream cheese frosting would do :D

  432. Janet m

    That mixer in red is just beautiful – I would love to have it under the Christmas tree for my daughter . That’s been her dream mixer.

  433. Jennifer Creep

    I would make christmas cake balls…. we always make about 700 of them for christmas gifts :) This would work perfect so I don’t have to sit there and mix the icing into the cake!

  434. Emma Heinichen

    I would make a batch of French bread. I’ve never had a kitchenaid so I’ve always done it by hand but it would be so nice to use a dough hook (and less messy!!)!!

  435. maureen

    What an AWESOME mixer! I did not know it came this large. I would double the recipe for my Italian Cream Cheese Cake that I am famous for in my family. I do a couple of different things to the recipe to make it so irresistible that your eyes automatically roll back, close and go MMMMMMMMMM. I just gained a pound thinking about it!

  436. Sara D

    Pumpkin cheesecake! I want to make one for Thanksgiving and my mixer bit the dust while making a baby shower cake!

  437. Veronica Ardary

    I would LOVE to win this mixer!! The first thing I would make is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and then red velvet cupcakes. And then anything and everything else!!

  438. Deidre Mosher

    I’ve been hoping that s0mething would come along & inspire me to get back into the cooking scene again…well guess what? This Kitchenaid did the trick! I used to make fabulous, decadent & one of a kind desserts…if I got this oh so shiny Kitchenaid gadget I’d forge head first into making a Christmas Cake that paid honor to my Mother who loved the holidays. Think RED!

  439. Tami R.

    I’ve dreamed of making homemade bread for my kids! That would be the first, second, third, fourth… and fifth thing I would make! :)

  440. Kealey Bird

    I would love to win this to make some holiday goodies for my family. I have never had one of these before. I would love to have it. I would seriously faint if I won it

  441. Lyndsey

    I would make a all kinds of batches of Christmas/New Years goodies! How exciting of a giveaway, thank you for the opportunity!
    Lyndsey

  442. Denise O.

    Hmmm, I’d make just about anything with pumpkin in it this time of year so probably pumpkin maple pancakes. Thanks for the chance to win this.

  443. Heather Farrell

    Hmmmm…..I would make a double batch of my mom’s zuchinni bread….all warm and yummy- filling the house with a delicious cinnamony smell :o) (thank you!)

  444. Aryn

    How do I narrow down to the first thing that I would make?? I’d have to say I would probably use it to make some delicious cupcakes and salted caramel frosting that I have been dying to try for a while now!!

  445. heidi golden

    i’d make a batch of bread i’ve been dying to try but it produces THREE LOAVES and that means there’s a HECK of a lot of dough – need this mixer!! :) well…would LOVE this mixer!

  446. Helen Reynolds

    I have been married almost 32 years and I have wanted but have been unable to get a Kitchenaid almost all of that time! I have dreamed about the first thing I would make and it would be a huge batch of delicious cinnamon rolls with yummy cream cheese frosting to share with all of my family and friends to celebrate finally having this glorious machine. 7 quarts! I am going to have to dream bigger!

  447. Colette

    WOW!! What a machine! I have a Kitchenaide meat grinder attatchment and am craving jerky these days. I’d grind some up and throw it on the dehydrator for some fresh snacks. MMM…

  448. Karen Anderson

    If I won this beauty?? The first thing I would make is some really cute decorated cookies and send them to y’all!

  449. tanya leavitt

    how awesome! thanks for the chance to win the machine i want the most! (
    so pick me lol) The first thing I would make is the hordes of mashed potatoes that we are making for the clan of 32 for the party that we are going to

  450. Lakie Haskins

    Who can choose? What I’d want would be to make all my favorite recipes…then again there are several new recipes I’ve been wanting to try…I’ll just have to put ’em all in a mixing bowl and pull one out!

  451. Shannon LC

    I wouldn’t be able to wait to bake with this! Holiday baking would be first on the list. Peanut Butter Blossoms would be a great start!

  452. Kim at The Cookie Puzzle

    OH! I would make a batch of cookies! I think I might even be able to double the batch and save myself some valuable time! Thanks for the chance to win!

  453. cherie lee

    I would make a pumpkin pie which is my son’s favorite. He is coming to visit with his wife and is bringing our new grandbaby!

  454. Kelly S.

    Wowza! That is one sexy kitchen appliance!

    I’m sure I’d make cupcakes to test out the mixer first! Probably butter beer cupcakes!

  455. Sara

    Christmas cookies! This mixer would be just in time for the holidays at my house. I love to bake and I’m tired of mixing by hand!

  456. *kristi*

    Oh it is so hard to pick where to start!! But I would have to do something with pumpkin since it’s fall and holiday time…like pumpkin bread :)

  457. Ausia Lauts

    I would simultaneously make chocolate chip cookies, fresh pasta and a flourleess chocolate cake.
    Gosh I really really want this

  458. Vesna Gaddy

    Oh, this would be perfect for a double batch of my cinnamon buns dough! I can’t fit a double in the Artisan I own… Any color is fine with me :-D Thanks!

  459. Donna Wallace

    The first thing I would make would be Monster Cookies, I love RED and I loveeeee Kitchen Aide mixers, I lost mine in the Flood this June…

  460. Megan

    I am in LOVE with this mixer!!! I’ve always dreamed of owning a KitchenAid mixer. It would be SO fabulous to donate my cheap little mixer to Goodwill! The first thing I would make would probably be banana bread, and the second would be cupcakes or a cake for my daughter’s birthday.

  461. Pam

    Ohhh my! Sugar cookies! A heaping batch of them! Then I’ll stare at my treadmill as I gobble them up with a big glass of milk! :)

  462. Lorrie Hansen

    I would make everything! Starting with chocolate chip cookies………..I have wanted one of these forever! Just yesterday I told my hubby this is what I want for Christmas lol…..I never know what I want until now!

  463. anita

    I’d make a TRIPLE batch (oh sweet bliss!) of vanilla bean – almond cookie dough, and then I’d roll it, cut it, bake it, and decorate the cookies to raise more money for the ALS Association. I’ve been looking and drooling at that beautiful 7-luscious quart bowl for weeks…sigh.

  464. Becca

    I have an awesome birthday cake recipe that calls for 12 egg whites beaten until stiff….I would turn it on and go get other things done and come back to the whites all stiff later, instead of standing there for 20-25 minutes doing it with my hand mixer!

  465. akr

    I would give it to my brother, an amazing chef/baker and just wait to see what he would whip up! Always a treat~He soooo deserves something good to happen for him right now!!

  466. Tana D

    Cookies. Lots and lots of cookies. Maybe cheesecake and a pie or two. I’ve been on a really strict diet for the past month and I’m ready to indulge in some baking.

  467. Sher

    What a beautiful mixer! So love the red one. I have a craving to make some lemon cupcakes, so that would be the first thing to get this pretty baby dirty. Thanks for another great opportunity. You are the best!

  468. Michelle L.

    This would be a dream come true to win the KitchenAid Mixer. My mother-in-law makes the world’s best bread and I would try to make bread under the direction of her. This would be so amazing.

  469. Ria

    I would make Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie n’ Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar and red velvel cupcake with cream cheese frosting.

  470. Lolis Flores

    It is so beautiful! breathtaking! First I would admire it and look at it and touch it and just hold it and take pictures of it! Acouple of days later I would make tamales! Then clean it, shine it and admire it some more !

  471. Alice S

    I would make a cake for my Thanksgiving guests…and I would leave the mixer out on the counter for all my guest to see…and drool over.

  472. Chessa Moore

    The first thing I’d make in my new RED Kitchen Aid mixer would be traditional Swedish Pepperkakor cookies. The dough requires 7 cups of flour and you need something with some power to get that all mixed up!

  473. Anna @ hiddenponies

    If this is open to Canadians (oh please oh please), I’d be whipping up some whipped shortbread…beating butter by hand for 10 minutes is too daunting :)

  474. Lucy

    I’d MAKE my mother (asked nicely, of course) to MAKE me some coconut cookies. She’s been using the same mixer since she was married. It’s time for a new one! Thanks for the great giveaway.

  475. donna Broussard

    My husband is gluten intolerant. So the very first thing I would make is some homemade gluten free bread for him.

  476. Dana Stemig

    I would bake a cake and make some cake pops. We love cake pops around our house so that would have to be the first thing. I’ve never read your blog before but I’ve subscribe to it on Google Reader so I’ll be checking regularly now.

  477. Josh

    My wife is the greatest women in the world and would love this. She would make me such yummy food! My first suggestion would be her famous sugar cookies that I LOVE!!!

  478. Christi

    Mashed potatoes…to go with my family’s recipe for homemade chicken noodle soup. It’s sure to drive these pesky November colds away.

  479. Tiffany H.

    I would make whipped cream for a coconut pie I’d make! I would LOVE this! I use a hand mixer from the 80’s (I am 31 years old) that an elderly woman gave me, so I would LOVE an upgrade!

  480. Becky

    I think I would have to start with the classic chocolate chip cookie! After that, the possibilities are endless! I have TONS of different cupcake, cookie, bread, and bar recipes I’m itching to make!

  481. Jessica

    Hands down….my great grandmother’s chocolate cookie recipe! I tried it once before and failed miserably. I haven’t had one of those cookies in 8 years since she passed away and I can just taste it!

  482. Susanne

    I would make divinity cause that is my daughters favorite christmas treat and this would be for her is I won. She has wanted one for a long time now and has been patiently waiting.

  483. Emma

    I love just about any type of cupcakes….so I’d probably make cupcakes. With the holidays around the corner, I’d totally make pumpkin bread too. :-)

  484. terrillr

    I would make a carrot cake…. the same carrot cake I made in August and swore that I wouldn’t make again for at least a year (if then!), cause it was so much work! But, with that beautiful mixer, I would have to take back those words and make one again this year. :D

    Thank you for the opportunity.

  485. Susan

    Sugar cookies and frosting- hopefully santas and candy canes for Christmas! (But now that I read Lynn A’s comment, I would have to forfeit to her)

  486. Laurie

    How amazing! I would definitely make my favorite caramel sea salt cookies you had on your blog a while back…the ones made in the muffin top pan, MMMMM!!!

  487. TyAnn

    I would LOVE one of these. I have been dreaming about one for years now! I would make my mothers bread, cinnamon rolls and chocolate cookies.
    Thank you in advance if i win.

  488. Debra Kight

    I would so luv to win this! Since I am the room mother for my son’s 1 st grade class, my first thing I would use the mixer for would be some yummy cupcakes for his class.

  489. Kami

    Sugar cookies since they almost burn my poor lil hand mixer up each and everytime! I may have drooled a little over this, nice!

  490. Tricia

    wow! that is huge!!! and AWESOME!!! i would totally make some sugar cookies the minute it get that sucker open!!! thanks for the giveaway!

  491. anno

    This is a dream mixer!
    I’d start with all my favorite Christmas cookies!
    Time runs out and I like to prepare the dough early.

    Thanks for the chance!

  492. Tara

    The first thing I would make is my Aunt Cille’s chocolate chip cookies. Her recipe was the very first one I ever wrote in my little cookbook, circa 1989 when I was 8. It only seems a fitting homage to make her cookies first in such a gorgeous machine!

  493. erin

    i already have one and love it but my sisters dont so i would give it to them and hope that they make my moms recipe of cowboy cookies first! :)

  494. christimsenter

    I would make a caramel cake! The icing for my recipe has to be mixed for 8-10 minutes, and I get so tired holding that hand mixer! I have been wishing and dreaming for a Kitchenaid!

  495. Kari

    I would make my daughter Abriana’s 8th Birthday Cake. She has peanut and egg allergies, so I do a lot of ‘Abby-safe’ baking. I would love to christen this mixer with her birthday cake!

  496. Danielle Andre

    WHAT! What wouldn’t I make! Hmm I would make some delicious cinnamons rolls, a red velvet three layer cake, I would give a try to some more royal icing and I have always wanted to try making fondent cakes. I don’t think I would ever stop baking :)!

  497. Angela Sarris

    Wow ~ love the red one it is a beauty !! I have had one for 20 + years and dang that thing would mix bricks!! Well I have given it a run for it’s money!! I have and I think it is time for a new sport model!! YEP!! I would make Christmas cookies with my new red ride!! Or maybe a gingerbread house? Both yea!! Love it!!

  498. Dianeygirl

    It would have to be a triple batch of chocolate chip cookies in order to test the metal of this large high powered mixer!

    It looks absolutely beautiful, I have mixer envy…

  499. crystal thompson

    OMG that is amazing! I would soooo love to win! I would make the biggest batch of brownies ever….or perhaps red velvet cookies

  500. Sara S

    Bread! No, maybe pancakes. Ooooh or white chocolate oatmeal cookies! Or…… I don’t know what would be first but there would be a whole lot of mixing going on around here!

  501. Jess

    I would make cookies for the holidays! My mom and I set aside one day to do all of our baking and this mixer would definitely help us out!!! We would be super bakers! :)

  502. Jason

    My wife would love a mixer, she’s been wanting one forever. I know the first thing she would make is a batch of chocoloate chip oatmeal cookies for our nephew who thinks he’s cookie monster or her first pecan pie for thanksgiving.

  503. Mindy Kammerdiener

    Wow! I have a Kitchenaid mixer, but this one is beautiful! It sure would help with those Thanksgiving pies!

  504. Melissa (Mimi) Payton

    I would love to win the 7 qt Kitchen Aid Mixer so that my grandchildren and I could make fudge for Christmas! They all love to “help” me cook and this would be a special treat for all! BTW – the recipe is the best and even better with the “best” mixer! Here is the recipe – hope you like it!

    Mimi’s Marvelous Fudge

    4 cups sugar

    2 teaspoons vanilla

    Thank you for the chance to make special memories!

  505. becky

    Wow….winning this would be a dream come true. The only appropriate cake to make first would be my Cherry Dream Cake. Thanks for the chance to win. Hugs, Becky

  506. Jodie

    I would make my mom’s cream cheese pound cake! It’s the one thing my brother asks for when he’s home on leave, one of the things I can close my eyes and think of when I think of home, and it’s just so dang good. :) If I were fortunate enough to win this beautiful item that has been on my wish list forever, I would make this wonderful cake and many more scrumptious recipes for my husband and 3 girls that have been passed down from my mom and other family members. (Crossing my fingers! :)

  507. mekei

    homemade wheat bread (my daughter is craving it) and the cheesebread i make with the same dough. skeime (at) gmail

  508. Terri

    Hi, The first thing I would make in my red kitchen aid mixer would be a red velvet cake. Thanks the chance to win.

  509. Laura

    Cupcakes! Inspired by your Blue Ridge Sweet Shoppe post…omg yum. I told my husband that is where we are going for our next long weekend. Just for the cupcakes. :)

  510. Michele

    I would make the ultimate “Outrageous Brownies” that always get requested for pot luck parties! My beloved KitchenAid mixer that I have loved to death has recently celebrated its 15th birthday. The #1 setting no longer works making it difficult to slowly mix recipes that call for “low speed” mixing like these amazing BROWNIES. If I win, I promise to share the recipe!!!!!

  511. Debi

    If craving sweets I’d make a big batch of monster cookies because a whole batch won’t fit in my much smaller KitchenAid stand mixer. But if I am wanting to feed my family I’d make a huge recipe of rich, homemade mashed potatoes. And red would match my kitchen perfectly!

  512. Hollybeth

    Cookies, cookies, cookies and more Christmas cookies! Plus I love red and this would be very Christmasy and everyday in my kitchen. Thanks for the opportunity

  513. Ariann

    Great giveaway!!! I would make Ina Garten’s chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing!! It was one of the first things I made with my old kitchen aid, which I love and adore!!

  514. Adrianne Everhart

    I would get a head start on making the dough for my Christmas cookies – 15 different varieties! What a blessing this mixer would be. Thanks for the opportunity to win it.

  515. Nicole

    I have been trying to perfect my sugar cookies with royal icing. I am getting there, but have to use a hand mixer. This would make my life so much easier and the first batch I made with my new mixer would be sent to you!! Promise!

    Thanks for all your great ideas!

  516. Angela L

    Wow! I would tackle some homemade bread, or mashed potatoes for 20 at Thanksgiving, or a scrumptious cheesecake….so much to choose from!

  517. Rhonda

    I would use it to make a delicious loaf of whole wheat bread, with our homegrown and ground wheat! I can smell it now. While the bread is baking, I would use the Kitchenaid to make fresh butter! Yum!

  518. Johanna

    Oh what a beautiful piece of machinery!

    The first thing I would make is a batch of gluten free brownies because it would be UNTAINTED, having never met flour. <3!

  519. nae'nae'

    I’d make divinity…or the Christmas cookies I’ve made ever since my aunt gave them to me one Christmas when my girls were very young.

  520. Andrea A

    Possibly a cheesecake, but more likely, chocolate chip cookies. We seem to be making those all the time. Thanks for the chance to win!

  521. Jennifer B

    After a good, plutonic snuggle with my new mixer to the Hallalujah Chorus, I’d make my favorite vegan Pumpkin Spice Cake and the amazing frosting that goes with it – shouting with glee as that fancy beater swipes the sides with each rotation.

    I need to go lie down.

  522. Trish

    What a beauty! I’d make a double (triple?) batch of Ina Garten’s chocolate chunk cookies! Then I’d go give them all away (ok, maybe I’d save a few for my family!)

  523. Robin Thomas

    Chocolate Chip Cookies followed by a double batch of dinner rolls just to see what it’s like to actually make them in a mixer that isn’t to small.

  524. Linda S

    I love the red. What a beautiful mixer. I would make chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles. My family’s favorites. Yum!

  525. Casey

    My family as a KitchenAid mixer and I know from personal use, that they are wonderful!! Oh my goodness, I love using it.

    But what would I do in my OWN?

    Hmmm, choices, choices. Most likely whip up a lovely batch of snickerdoodles. Nothing better than a SNICKERDOODLE. :)

  526. anita

    Ooooo…such a generous giveaway! I would make mini peanut butter cup cupcakes, which are always a favorite around here. They are made using your fabulous best chocolate cake ever recipe and topped with Martha Stewart peanut butter buttercream frosting. YUM! Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  527. Izabela M.

    Since Thanksgiving is at my house this year I would use it to make a bunch of desserts, including my famous carrot cake with cream cheese frosting…yum!!!

  528. Canchy Marquez

    I will make a simple recipe of pound cake that my Mom is famous for. With this recipe, that only has 5 eggs in it, my Mom started a business. She helped my brother and myself pay for a college education. Now days I live in Florida and work in the “Happiest Place on Earth”, I have a daughter, and a house; all thanks to my Mom and her cakes. She lives with me and at 73 years old she still makes her famous cakes so we can have a little extra cash to have fun!!!! Mami, I love you!!!!!

  529. Carol in Florida

    I would make my Aunt’s Chewy Cake that I usually make every Christmas – I haven’t been able to make it the last couple of years because my mixer broke and I haven’t been able to replace it – and this cake batter is so thick that it requires a “big boy” mixer! Thanks Amanda for the chance to win.

  530. Anna Kelso

    Chocolate Chip Cookies!!! Why? Because they are the first recipe I ever put to memory, and I’ve been making them for over 45 years. That’s a lot of cookies, and a lot of nibbling on chocolate chip cookie dough. I’m not sure if I like the cookies or the dough better, but then hey, it’s a “two-for.” It’s almost too much yum for this gal.

  531. kris

    I have had my mixer for 25 years, needless to say it is on its last leg. I love to make rolls and bread, everyone loves them also. Whenever we are asked to dinner it is “Will you bring rolls!”. So I would use the new mixer to make rolls for Thanksgiving dinner at my sons house.

  532. Leslie S.

    Christmas cookies!

    I have a two year old little boy that loves to help me cook. I know he would love to watch the mixer and see how it blends all the yummy ingredients to make cookies.

  533. Sandy A

    Wow, I have no idea! So many recipes are going through my head. It would really help with my apple pie mixture! Yummy!!

  534. Claudia P.

    I would make pinkalicious cupcakes with my daughter! For her bday party that had to be postponed for 5 months now!

  535. Faith

    I’ve wanted a KitchenAid for years! I saw one in Macy’s today and I said “I want that!” I would make my great-grandmother’s delicious pound cake recipe!

  536. Kendall T.

    I’m a high school student and I recently started my own cupcake business! I call it fill in the CAKE because each cupcake I make is filled with something unique. I’ve done things like cookie dough, oreo, nutella, s’mores and a BUNCH of other things. I love experimenting in the kitchen and am constantly inspired by all of the amazing recipes you come up with. Reading all of the fun ideas you have created helps to keep me creative! Unfortunately, I have been using a hand mixer from the 50s! ( It was my GREAT grandmas!!!) It gets pretty difficult to bake 48 cupcakes in one day when my equipment is so ancient. However, I am not too eager to go out and buy a new mixer because all of the revenue I will be donating to charity. I am currently setting something up through Children’s Miracle Network to help donate things to children with cancer ( like Make A Wish on a local scale). The less money I have to spend, the more money I can put towards helping them. So if I were to win this kitchenaid mixer, the first thing I would make would be a nice big batch of a unique cupcake flavor…maybe pumpkin cheesecake with a cinnamon frosting! And I would sell those to raise more money for charity :] It would seriously mean the world to me if I won this.

  537. Merry Seaver

    Big Batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pecans for Christmas for my family. mmmm, sitting by the fire sipping hot chocolate and eating cookies.

  538. Natalie

    What a wonderful give away…The first thing I would make would be Christmas Day Cinnamon Rolls…yeast cinnamon rolls that rise twice with a pecan caramel topping…Dreaming of a white Christmas

  539. Gwen

    The first thing I would make is banana bread. But soon afterwards I would try making bread with it. I would love the black one!

  540. Angela

    My former roommate had a Kitchenaid but moved out and naturally took it with her. I’m DYING for one. I’d probably make some cookies or maybe some pumpkin bread. Mmmmm. I can taste it now.

  541. Amanda Huff

    Gorgeous! What wouldn’t I want to make?! I think I would probably have to make Buckeye candy (chocolate peanutbutter balls) I have been craving them but my little dinky hand mixer just doesn’t cut it!

  542. amy

    i’d have to say i’d that delicious chocolate chip cookie double stuffed oreo cookie brownie recipe i got from you 2 a few weeks ago!!! it’s amazing!

  543. Riann

    I would make some simple, fluffy white bread. Then I would eat the entire loaf slice by toasted slice with salted butter. :)

  544. Robin

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    I’d make my mother’s chocolate cake recipe.

  545. Tara

    I would make chocolate chip cookies….and then have to try a ton of other recipes just because this mixer sounds amazing!!!

  546. Suzanne H

    Mashed Potatoes! I have my family convinced that the lumper the better; since I haven’t master the art of decent potatoes in over 20 years. Will have lots of explaining to do if I won this mixer and serve them, for once, a decent meal. However, it would definitely be worth winning.

  547. Samantha

    I found a new recipe for margarita cupcakes with tequila lime buttercream frosting so that would probably be my first test for the new mixer!! I’ve always wanted my own Kitchenaid Mixer! I covet my mom’s every time I’m home from college on break.

  548. Anna Marie

    Hey Amanda! The first thing I would make in my new Kitchenaide would be some cupcakes of course!!! It will be easy to make sure the batter is properly mixed with one of these babies! (in my choice of red, black or silver of course!)

  549. Mary Miller

    What would I NOT make in this?! I have been wanting this kitchen mixer as long as I can remember. I would bake, bake and bake! Cakes, to start. =) Thank you.

  550. Colleen

    ‘Tis the season to make pumpkin bars and that wonderful cream cheese frosting – that’s the first drive I would take this Kitchenaid on. A wonderful joy-ride all the way to our tummies! Pick me, pick me!!

  551. kelly

    I would make my famous CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bet they would taste better if I had this amazing mixer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  552. LynnLynn

    That mixer would definitely outshine the large appliances in my kitchen!! I would make me some killer pizza dough. Yum Yum!

  553. Michael

    It’s a toss up…carrot cake with cream cheese frosting or red velvet with the cream cheese. Better yet, can I go with both? (And I seriously wonder why I need to drop 20 lbs – ha!)

  554. Emily

    Hey Amanda! I would make my mom’s awesome pumpkin cookies and homemade buttercream frosting! Would love to win this KitchenAid mixer, in RED!

  555. bee

    I’d make some of my favorite chocolate chip cookies. I’d probably be able to make them so quick I’d never run out! That might be dangerous…

  556. Brandy Hardee

    I would LOOOOOOOVE to make some homemade bread with this mixer. Isn’t she a beauty! Love all of your posts and fabulous giveaways!

  557. Meri Violette

    I would first have to make pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, of course! Then for teacher gifts at Christmas time, I would make those delicious Cookie Dough Cake Pops!

  558. Mary Palin

    I would make cupcakes! I’ve got a growing little cupcake business and have a lot of orders coming in this winter. This would be the perfect tool!

  559. Dana

    I’ve been dying to make cupcakes incorporating Biscoff spread (which I only recently discovered!) and maybe bananas. Biscoff-Banana Cupcakes, anyone?! :)

  560. Kim

    WOW!! What an amazing giveaway!! With the holidays coming up there are so many different things that I would make! I’d probably start off with some yummy cookies and let my two cute little helpers help me out while using the fun new mixer! Thanks for the chance!

  561. Rebecca

    Oh I so would like one of these, thank you for the chance. I would make cupcakes for my son’s birthday coming up!

  562. Kristie Blankenship

    Oh I know…I know!!!!! I have been trying to make lots of sourdough bread with my new starter. It is SO time consuming kneading all that bread. It would save me TONS of work. I have one of these on my Christmas list! I would make bread, bread, bread, and probably just about everything in their cookbook!

  563. Nancy T.

    Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. P.s. I just love seeing pictures of your Boston Terriers – our Boston passed away 2 years ago and I still miss him, but seeing pictures of yours brings back happy memories

  564. Kimm W.

    I would make cookies, oatmeal with white chocolate chips and dried cherries. I made a batch earlier this week and my pitiful hand mixer could barely handle the batter. I would adore replacing it with this gorgeous mixer!

  565. Mary N

    I would try my first pie crust. I have been afraid to make my own, but this mixer would make me “braver”! Just in time for Thanksgiving!

  566. anita

    Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I would kill to be able to make my yummy pumpkin biscuits for turkey dinner :)

  567. Carissa

    If I had this mixer (which happens to be the very mixer of my dreams, I visit it in the store, etc…) I would finally be able to make DOUBLE batches of cookies and cupcakes for my big family get-togethers and school fundraisers. *fingers crossed*

  568. Dee

    I would love to win this mixer, I’m an entrepreneur and has come up with the idea to use food as my advertisement. The first thing I would make is sweet potato cupcakes and sweet potato pie in muffin pans. I feel you always remember when you eat something delicious and were it came from.

  569. Tiffany

    oh my… cookies, cakes, cup cakes and lately muffins have been on my mind. I’m kinda hungry right now :) I’ve been wanting a mixer FOREVER!!

    Thank you guys for the great giveaways!

  570. Sarah K

    With Thanksgiving around the corner, I would love to make a batch of homemade rolls to go with dinner and a pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. YUMM!!! Fingers Crossed!!!:)

  571. Sherri

    I would make my grandmother’s famous candy cane sugar cookies..they are red and white and look just like candy canes! Thanks for the doing this giveaway Kevin & Amanda!

  572. Debbie Salazar

    A cake — of course! I’m making a Lightning McQueen cake as we speak. I have a Kitchenaid mixer now and love it. However, I need to move up to a 7 quart mixer.

  573. Michelle

    I would love to make cinnamon rolls. My brother absolutely adores cinnamon rolls and I have been wanting to surprise him with some on Christmas morning!

  574. Ryan

    Oh My Gosh What a Fantasy. As you get older your Fantasies change lol. I do everything by hand. Wow My life would change with this splendid beauty. hummmm I would start my baking for Thanks Giving with Pumpkin roll Serious Yummy.Thanks for this splendid chance.

  575. Sabrina Berry

    I would love this mixer! My cuisan art and stand mixer both died last December after 20 faithful yrs. I would love to mix up some biscottis for Christmas.

  576. Marty

    I would make sugar cookies. I usually end up with more flour all over my kitchen than in the bowl! Thanks for the chance to win!

  577. denise marinchek

    Oh wow, I would make a lemon meringue pie for my son who is having his wisdom teeth out….smooth and delicious! Thanks for the chance, good luck to all!!

  578. bex

    I would really love this mixer.:0)
    I don’t current own one, I have heard it is really great.
    I would love to try an new GFCF recipe for my son.
    We have recently changed his diet to GFCF, it tends to be expensive. I think making our own bread at home would be fun:0)

  579. Laurie

    I have been waiting to get a mixer so I can make the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies my sister makes, they are so yummy!!!

  580. Barbara K.

    I would make your chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes. I just discovered them and think they are so yummy. My daughter love chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream–what a surprise now in a cupcake. So many good treats. I burned the motor out on my kitchen aid I have had it for 18+ years.

  581. Debby J

    Oh, my goodness! What a fantastic giveaway. The first thing I’d make is a huge batch of cookies for my grandkids.

  582. Briana

    Oh man. I totally need one of these. I would make (again) those delicious pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting!! Last time I made them, I used a hand mixer = no fun. This beautiful KitchenAid in Red would make baking/cooking/everything so much fun!

    Please-oh-pleases-oh-please let me win! :-)

  583. Melinda Shapro

    The first thing I would make in this beautiful mixer is the dough for my grandmother’s spritzer cookies. The holidays are right around the corner!

  584. Karen Costa

    Ohhhh. I would have my talented son-in-law make his spectacular Happy Birthday Jesus cake!!!! Since I cannot physically do it, I would ask him to make a fruitcake just for me too. He uses a hand mixer for all he makes, we could never afford a Kitchenaid mixer!!!! :-) Thank you for the opportunity.

  585. Jennifer

    Oooh, pick me! pick me! :) My kitchen is red and yellow, so I would definitely want the red one!! What would I make first? That’s a hard decision! Pizza dough, maybe! Or a giant batch of cookies! Or Banana bread! I think I’d be baking and cooking a lot!

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  586. Leesa Gentry

    It would be my grandmother’s tea cakes recipe. Not every mixer can handle this cookie dough needs dough hooks to finish without burning out the motor on a regular mixer. Haven’t been able to make the for many years, plus my husband has a thing about red appliances.

  587. mhsands

    I do believe I would have to try out some of the fab recipes right here on Amanda’s blog… something sweet and fattening! :P

  588. Sara S.

    If I won this, I would give it to my mother-in-law and I would make gluten-free cookies with it for the whole family!

  589. Gay H.

    It’s a toss-up! I’d either make a chocolate cake or chocolate chip cookies. Would love to win this gorgeous mixer!

  590. Deborah Raney

    The first thing I’d make in my Kitchenaid red mixer is a double batch of my great-grandmother’s chocolate chip cookies. Then I’d send a batch to Missouri for our 3 little grandsons, and a batch to Iowa for our little granddaughter (even though she’s tiny and doesn’t have any teeth yet. Her daddy would be happy to eat them!)

  591. Melissa

    I would love to have this mixer for my kitchen as I have very little and cook for a large family and two who are ill. I would make a loaf of dill cheese bread first with my new mixer and I would love it in candy apple red. Ohh la la!

    Sincerely,

    Melissa Kalson

  592. Holly Rook

    Chocolate cupcakes with a peppermint buttercream frosting or pumpkin cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting. Now I am hungry for cupcakes!

  593. Tara Gaspar

    Goodness, I’ve been dreaming about one of these mixers… what would I make… I might make myself fat with all the desserts that I would concoct. I might make others fat too… hmm, Well, my husband is home this year from Iraq (Thank GOODNESS), and all he wants for thanksgiving, good ol’ regular, pumpkin pie. I would make that for him, and about a gazillion cookies for Christmas. You have to live it up when they are home, you never know when they will be sent away again.

  594. Kimmie

    The first thing I would make would be my families favorite – chocolate chip cookies! We love Alton Brown’s “The Thin” recipe :)

  595. Kelli

    I would bake anything pumpkin flavored! My 4 year old daughter is a fabulous baker’s assistant and we love to bake up goodies together.

  596. Shelley White

    Christmas cookies, naturally! My stepdaughter and I have a tradition that we bake all our traditional favourites every year…

  597. Brandi B

    Loaves of Chocolate Banana Bread for the fire station down the street! Thanks for the opportunity! Fingers crossed :-)

  598. melyssa

    with christmas right around the corner… i’d probably get started on lots & lots of dough for christmas cookies for our friends & neighbors:)

  599. Carla B.

    I’m already stockpiling recipe ideas for my 3 month old baby girl, when we introduce solids. This mixer would be super handy when whipping up healthy food options for her, like muffins & teething biscuits. :)

  600. Beth E

    I’d make Christmas cookies with my daughter!! She’s 13 and loves your site, we’ve made several of your recipes together :o)

  601. Karen

    My sons birthday cake for next weekend! His request…chocolate cake, chocolate icing with cookies and cream ice cream.

  602. Suz

    I would make Mr. Food’s Nice Spice Cookies with cream cheese/buttercream frosting! Thanks for the chance to win such a fabulous item!

  603. Tina

    Becuase of the timing of the prize, the first thing I would have to make would be a Pumpkin Cheesecake using the Pumpkin Butter from my Brother & Sister in Law’s farm.

  604. Elise

    I would make Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Swirl Fudgy Cookies from Picky-Palate – no offense to your blog, but I’ve been craving these things for a while!!!

  605. Ginger Fritz

    The first thing that I’d make in my new Kitchenaid is a batch of thoroughly Alaskan sourdough bread, here in Alaska! I’d make my whole family drool with the smell of fresh-baked bread.

  606. Christine

    That 7 quart mixer could make a lot of butter! But I would probably test her out with some potato bread first! mmmm.

  607. Casey Driggers

    On November 29, 2011 I will have been married for 6 months. Each month on our anniversary i try to bake him something sweet! We LOVE dessert! So the first thing I would bake with my KitchenAid would be a beautifully crafted from scratch funfetti cake! I’m a sucker for sprinkles what can i say!

  608. Trina H

    So what one of these mixers – I would make a beautiful Pavlova with gorgeous fresh strawberries, kiwifruit, banana and passonfruit on the top. Oh and don’t forget the lovely whipped cream which would be perfectly whipped with my new mixer.

  609. J Chapman

    Maybe some pizza dough….or maybe since this machine has some wicked torque – a double batch of chocolate chip cookies. (no, not a clue what a torque is – but it must be awesome)

  610. Melissa Wise

    A seven quart!!! SEVEN!!! Ooooohhhh! I want!! The first thing I would make is probably fresh yeast bread. Mmmmmm!!!

  611. beth

    i would make bread, bread and more bread. rosemary olive bread. and lots of it! i LOVE kitchen aid mixers!!! this is a beauty!

  612. Nicole Rouleau

    I’m the only one who knows my grandma’s homemade bread recipe by heart, so I would have to make that. Thinking about her KitchenAid makes me miss her, but warms my heart.

  613. Niki C.

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    Of course I would make your fabulous Cookie Dough Cupcakes! YUMMM! I love the red! I’ll take it! ;)

  614. Marci Hecht

    First of all I would choose the color red, as it is my favorite color. Are you kidding me, there is a number of things I could make. I might start out as a big batch of gooey chocolate chip cookies, and go on from there. I would probably sleep with this mixer. My mom had one, they are the key item in your kitchen, a must.

  615. Michelle

    The first thing I’d make is room on the counter for this beauty! Then, Martha Stewart’s recipe “Alexis’ Chocolate Chip Cookies.” They are a delicious twist on the traditional recipe. (They’re flat and chewy.) Yum!

  616. Kristi Magee

    I would make a double batch of choc chip cookies. My current Kitchenaid mixer can only handle a single batch at one time before running out of room in the bowl.

  617. Jessica Clarke

    Ohh, that’s an easy one – I’d make chocolate chunk chocolate chip cookies – and I they would be extra delicious if I got to use this beauty!!

  618. Colleen

    I’m trying to cling to Fall before the snow flies…I’d make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies in style with a red KitchenAid mixer!

  619. Lisa G

    I have always wanted a bigger mixer. I have a Kitchen Aid that is my favorite appliance. If I won’t this one, I would make a double batch of Christmas cookies at one time rather than one at a time! :)

  620. Deena

    I would make my husband make me some yummy cookies – he makes chocolate chip with half choc chips and half peanut butter chips. YUMMMM!

  621. Stacey

    Wow! What a great giveaway! I would start with making something special with the two girls I homeschool! We LOVE to cook! One of the girls was just asking me last week if we could bake a cake again soon (we’ve made two this year already). So…a cake it would be! Thanks!

  622. Kimberly M.

    Oh my goodness…I get the same feeling I get looking at this new beauty that I do when I see a classic 57 Chevy of the same color!! It’s like drinking coffee/tea in a fine china teacup…no comparison…this mixer will just make everything taste better! The first thing I would make is the delicious pumpkin spice cake (with no eggs/oil)…so, I would enjoy a some yummy licks of the batter (with no guilt or fear) straight from my new Kitchen Aid mixer bowl (only to be followed closely by a more licks of the cream cheese, apple spice icing)!!!! Mmmmm!

  623. Jennifer

    Ohhh…she is BEAUTIFUL!! I’m a little famous around here for my chocolate chip cookies, so the first thing I would have to make would be cookies! Thanks for the opportunity!

  624. Cindy Beth

    This would be fabulous! Since the holidays are here I would probably make my husband’s favorite pumpkin cheesecake.

  625. Emily Crabtree (Simply Southern Kitchen)

    I would make my grandmother’s pound cake (recipe written on a piece of paper older than myself) for my grandfather’s birthday. It may be simple, but it is a family favorite that brings my whole family to the table.

  626. lhwheeler

    My sister’s New York Cheesecake. It is sooooo good. Or wait maybe I would make the pumpkin cheesecake it bein Thanksgivin and all. But nah I want the real deal NY Cheesecake it is.

  627. Kristie

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    Playdoh! My 4 year old loves to help in the kitchen and we could make some pretty great playdoh in this baby!

  628. SalBug

    I would make my Mom’s Christmas Sandies (cookies) that I make every year in remembrance of her. It’s one of my favorite traditions!

  629. Julie D.

    I would make my favorite chocolate chip cookies! Wait, maybe I’d make my favorite cinnamon rolls! Ok, I’ll make my husband’s favorite oatmeal raisin cookies!

  630. Tina Wright

    Oh what I would make in this beautiful machine!!! I think the first thing I would whip up would be my Grandma’s Cinnamon Rolls & boy would my family be so happy!!!!

  631. Angela

    I would make the dough for cinnamon rolls! The same ones my husband made for me the day he proposed. They’re delicious! He’s the baker in this house and he’d love a bigger Kitchen Aid that can handle bigger batches! Plus, with two little (but growing) boys in this family, we always need to make enough to feed the masses.

  632. Sarah Bultman

    I’m not sure where I would start . . . so many possibilities. Possibly Nannie’s Molasses Cookies. Yum!

  633. Jennifer Wills

    I use my grandmother’s old mixer. Oh, what I could do with a new fancy one!

    The first thing I would make with a Kitchen Aid mixer (in fabulous red!) would be a familly holiday tradition, Linzer Tarts. It’s the holiday season after all! ;)

  634. jahree

    Oh my!!! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to whip up meringue cookies? Yummy. Thanks so much for the chance to win it!

  635. Renee Richardson

    I would love to make chocolate chip cookies with my daughters for my first use. Thanks for the incredible giveaway :)

    Renee
    fattybumpkins at yahoo dot com

  636. Jennifer

    Rich, melt in your mouth chocolate buttercream frosting to compliment the triple chocolate cake it will frost…I gained 5lbs just thinking about it!

  637. Joy Gleason

    With my Kitchen-Aid I would really LOVE to have it for myself, but I have a good friend that makes bread every week for her family and she doesn’t have anything. Even though, I would love the new kitchen appliance, I know she would love it even more then me.

  638. Janet Thwaits

    The first thing I would make would be a birthday cake for someone near and dear. I make many, many B’day cakes a year. …..and delight in the response they receive.

  639. Stephanie

    I would make cookies! Oatmeal with cinnamon chips or spritz with my mom, since I have yet to attempt those would be first on my list.

  640. Jessie

    First thing I would make with my brand new 7 quart Kitchenaid would definitely be this recipe for S’Mores Cookies that I found online!

  641. Claire Mendenhall

    That’s a tough one. I just found ur blog n I recently made th Oreo gooey peanut butter bars and they were to die for! The first thing I would make I my new kitchen aid is……..umm………chocolate chip cookies with toffee bits! One of my absolute favs! I really hope win!

  642. Carla A

    What a gorgeous addition it would be to my kitchen. And the first thing I would make would be my granny’s bread recipe.

  643. Haley G.

    I would make either sugar or some kind of chocolate chip cookies, and eat half the dough. :) I would also make bagels or challah. That dough hook would be soooo amazing!

  644. Phoebe Dukas

    I’m on a new kick to discover the best buttercream — so I’d crank up that beautiful baby and whip up some goodness!!!! Good luck to all….but….pick me, pick me, pick me!!!!!!

  645. Trece Wyman

    What a fabulous prize!! The first thing I would make in my new mixer would be a double batch of almond biscotti. And then a fruitcake!!

  646. Carla Walker

    If I win, I will give the mixer to my mom, as I live in New Zealand and she would LOVE to win this. The first thing I would make if I got it though would be a big batch of whoopie pies! Yum!!!

  647. Taylor

    omgoshhhh! I think I would go on a baking spree if I won this! lol
    First up would be a pumpkin log. It’s sooo good and my whole family loves it! Especially for the holidays! :)

  648. Leticia

    I would love to win. I have always wanted one. I would use it to make cookies and cakes for thanksgiving dinner.

  649. Amy Rochelle

    I would make my scones. . . . and wouldn’t this be wonderfully helpful with Christmas cookies? Oh my~ Love the color too!

  650. Angela LeBlanc

    O whole bunch of double batches of oatmeal rasian/walnut cookies. I make them now but it bogs down my current mixer. I freeze them and when ready I cut in 1′ pieces and bake..mmmmm so good.

  651. Muriel

    Dreaming of making my carrot cake with cream cheese frosting with a bright red KitchenAid. Sounds glorious and a lot better than mixing with a hand held.

  652. Susie Anderson

    The first thing I would make in my brand-spanking new Candy Apple Red Kitchen-Aid Mixer is my Award winnning Black Forest Cheesecake! My recipe has been yearning for a kitchen-aid since I began making the chesecake 25 years ago. It has had to tolerate my wonderful but handheld Kitchen-Aid mixer. (Man, my arm gets tired!)

  653. Kathleen

    I would make the heavenly almond pound cake that Paula Deen made for her wedding. And probably follow that with some chocolate chip cookies…

  654. Shelly Brown

    I think the first thing I would make in my new KitchenAid would be my cream cheese pound cake!! Everyone I ever make this cake for gets hooked, and I love cooking rich, decadent, delicious foods.

  655. millie

    what a fabulous giveaway! i would loooove to win this!

    first thing i would make??
    double chocolate chip muffins!

  656. sheri r

    This mixer is gorgeous! It reminds me of Christmas baking with my mom. If I win, I’ll use it to start holiday baking early. Probably cranberry blondies, since those are the treats that never make it until Christmas.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  657. Danielle DaVault

    I would have to make my grandmothers lemon meringue pie. Whipping the meringue with this KitchenAid will be so much easier than by hand. I am always baking on a budget and this would be such an awesome gift to have.

  658. Ashley

    Ohhh my goodness. I would probably make some sort of buttercream frosting! :) Something peanut butter… or chocolate. OR chocolate peanut butter! /die

    This mixer is gorgeous, Amanda! Very awesome giveaway!

  659. Emily

    I would use it to make dough for bread, pizza, cinnamon rolls, etc. I can say for certain that everyone in my family would gain at least 10 pounds the first week from all the yummy things I would be making!

  660. Allison Schultz

    I would make a gigantic batch of cookies….love the bigger bowl size! I’ve been dreaming of a kitchenaid mixer for a long time now!

  661. Tina Burrows

    I would make Apple Chip Cake, a very thick batter that I always struggle with using my hand mixer. I have a list with all the holiday baking coming up. This would be a life saver. ;)

  662. Amy

    It’s so shiny and marvelous!!! I would make cookies as soon I get my hands on this. There are a few recipes I’ve been DYING to try!

  663. Ginger

    I’d make the dough for my world famous pepperoni and mushroom pizza. The red would look fabulous in my kitchen by the way!

  664. Amy Tong

    What an exciting giveaway! I’m going to make a Japanese Cheesecake with this brand new mixer! :)

    amy [at] utry [dot] it

  665. Trudy L.

    Um. What would I make first??? Something that had a meringue to it, so I could enjoy beating the egg whites, or maybe some cookies where I could cream the butter! That’d be so great–just start in on the cookie recipe immediately, not having to soften the butter. Maybe even bread. I have a feeling I’d be mixing something up all the time in that lovely mixer! :)

  666. Rachel E

    Very first thing I’d make would be my mother’s delicious bread and cinnamon roll recipe. Oh so good and what a delight to smell!!!

  667. Holly

    I would make my husband chocolate chip cookies, anything I ask him to do would then get done! Love the power of the cookies.

  668. Reily

    I would make my mom’s gingersnaps. I owe my third grade teacher a batch (they’re her absolute favorite). I’m in college now so I think it’s due time I drop those off for her. A kitchenaid mixer would certainly help me make those delicious cookies!

  669. LeeAnn

    I would make this recipe I have for French macarons. I have been putting off making it but this would be the perfect tool to motivate me! xoxo

  670. Allison

    I would looooooove to have a new Kitchen aid !!!!! And the first thing I would make with it is a big fancy cake!

  671. Sarah

    Oh mercy. I think I’d make some yummy oatmeal bread. My mixer has been on the fritz… and oh, how I’ve missed the ease of stand-mixer bread!

  672. jenny

    what a great giveaway, just in time for holiday baking! i’d probably try my hand at whipping up some macarons… or maybe some florentines that one of my sr. managers at work has been bugging me for for months now. or maybe a pumpkin bundt cake (one of my staples!) just to break it in… :)

  673. Taryn

    This is a gorgeous piece of baking machinery! The first thing I would make in a new mixer is probably some frosting (swiss meringue!) for cupcake-decorating, or a batch of cookies. Yum!

  674. Lorry Gray

    I think I would whip up some old fashioned divinity candy with pecans. The white candy reminds me of snow, and it is a great gift for friends during the Christmas season.

  675. Stella

    The first thing that I would make in my new Kitchenaid would be a wonderful, rich, chocolate cake with light and fluffy butter cream frosting :)

  676. Renee

    ANY and EVERY thing!!! I’d love one and there’d be no stopping me this holiday season! Cakes, pies, breads, etc!

  677. Stephanie Gimlin

    Well, my daughter is turning ONE next month and I have decided to take on her cake! So that is definitely the first thing I would make! The batter, the buttercream, the fondant- and probably anything and everything else I could think to throw in there :)

  678. Nickie

    My mouth is watering thinking of the things I would make! Probably the first thing would be mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving and then probably followed up with some cookies with some kind of a chocolate in them.

  679. Jill t

    This would be perfect for the Thanksgiving day mashed potatoes! My grandma always made the mashed ‘taters in her Kitchen Aid.

  680. Melissa Jefferson

    This would be my first Kitchenaid! My daughter and I would make my mom’s pizzelles for Santa!! I hear Santa loves them. ;-)

  681. Kim

    I was just informed that Thanksgiving is at my house this year. Since I will be expected to make 5 pies and my mother-in-law’s sweet poppyseed rolls…pie dough would be the first job for that beautiful mixer!

  682. Jacquelyne H.

    The first thing I would make with my black Kitchenaid 7-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer would definitely be a batch of pumpkin ginger cupcakes topped with ginger cream cheese frosting! :)

  683. Doris

    Bread, cookies, cakes, oh wait! I have to pick just one thing…darn

    P/S I will take it in candy apple red

    Thanks

  684. Jona Whipple

    The first thing I’d make would be my toasted coconut cream pie cupcakes! Based on my mom’s delicious coconut cream pie recipe, they’d be a hit just in time for Thanksgiving!

  685. anabel

    Tis the season for orange cranberry scones! What a beautiful mixer, and it would look lovely in my kitchen :o) Thans Amanda!

  686. Angie

    The first thing I would make in my new Candy Apple Red Kitchenaid 7qt mixer would be a double batch of oatmeal cookies. I love oatmeal cookies and like to make double (or triple!) batches when I get in the mood to bake so I can freeze the dough for easy cookies later. Making large batches with a hand mixer threatens burning up my hand mixer. I win, problem solved, cookies galore! :)

  687. Emilee

    The first thing I would make in that FABULOUS mixer is snickerdoodle cookies. These are a weekly baked item in my house. OH MY I am drooling! =]

  688. Allison

    I would make cookies or homemade whole wheat bread. My current mixter can only do two loaves at a time, but this mixer could make four!! I would be so excited to be able to make that much bread at once!

  689. Naomi Avendano

    I would make cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting because nothing brings me more joy than to see my teenage boys’ eyes light up when I say ~~~ I made cinnamon rolls today :)

  690. Teri Dingler

    Kitchenaid products are the best – I would make Pecan Pie Cobbler that is to die for! And I love, love, LOVE the candy apple red!

  691. karene taylor

    It would have to be Jamaican fruit cake, fruit soaked in rum, then mixed, baked then the cake soaked in rum or port…no more sore arms :)

  692. Kristyn

    Oatmeal cookies is the first thing I’d make, for sure. Ooh, or maybe those amazing Macarons I’ve been afraid to make all this time!! Thanks for the amazing giveaway!!

  693. stacey

    sweet potato casserole with pecan, brown sugar and butter topping. favorite thanksgiving recipe. oh yah, and a whole lot of mashed potatoes.

  694. Jessica S.

    I would make cupcakes, and cookies, cheesecake, oh my! Sorry couldn’t resist….I am in love with this new kitchenaid model…. my boyfriend might need to worry, lol…. I would definitely make something amazing and dense to see what it can do!

  695. Julia Reyder

    I would love to get my hands on a stand mixer. I don’t think I can tell you what things I’d be able to make with it. All sorts of cakes would go first, probably half of Nigella’s cookbook: Kitchen.

  696. Diana Yockey

    We have our family and friends coming to our house for a week at Thanksgiving, so I would put it to good use making cookies for my grandkids as well as all the other food that will be consumed during this time!!! It would be a “well used” mixer at the end of the week!!! I am an avid baker, so the paddle, whip and dough hook would get used daily!!

  697. carm

    I would love to surprise my husband with is mixer… He/my daughter are the bakers in the household… The RED is beautiful…

  698. Stephanie

    I am in LOVE with this mixer! The first thing I would make would be my first successful meringue. I have never been able to do it right!

  699. Tiffani

    I just printed off a slew of new recipes, so I guess I’d have to thumb through them and find the perfect one to christen the mixer. :)

  700. Jen T

    Too many choices, too little time… I would probably start with one of my mom’s recipes as a way to remember her and pretend she was still with us during the holidays.

  701. janice

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    oh my goodness, probably cookie dough or some other yummy thing for Christmas!

  702. Cathy V.

    I love this mixer! The colour is beautiful. The first thing I would make is Cinnamon Raisin Bread… mmm I can smell and taste it just thinking about it!!!

  703. Lynn

    Holy cow! There are a lot of comments here!
    My heart palpitated a bit when I set my eyes on that mixer.
    I have been finding so many fabulous new recipes on Pinterst I don’t know what the first thing I would make would be…maybe a gingerbread cheesecake, or your scrumptious looking brownie batter chocolate fudge cupcakes.
    Thank you for the chance,
    Lynn

  704. DeAnna

    Oh! That is easy. My goal is to make decorated cut-out sugar cookies with my grandson. (have not done this in quite some years) and this would work awesome to do the dough and icing. :-) Oh yeah!!!

  705. darcy

    I’d make snickerdoodles… and chocolate crinkle cookies… and my whole list of Christmas usuals. I usually make 10-12 dozen around the holidays and bring them to family parties and gift them.

    What a fab giveaway. Thanks Amanda and Kitchenaid!

  706. Michele

    I would make a ton of cookies! They always seem to disappear within a day or two so a stock up would be wonderful…plus some to share for Christmas.

  707. Erin

    My husband has fallen in love with the Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate cookie recipe, so I know that would be the first request with a new mixer!

  708. Megan

    This is such a great oppurtunity! Hmmm what would I make? Christmas/Holiday cookies! This mixer would make my life so much easier & would make my kitchen much more stylish.

  709. Brandy

    Ideally I’d give it as a gift to my SIL… but I would make cookies… a new recipe I pinned on pinterest that includes corn starch to apparently make them super fluffy and the most perfect ever chocolate chip numbers!

  710. Mellisa ~ ChinookJewelry

    Oooooh, I was just talking about how I *need* a larger capacity KitchenAid! I’d love it in silver and the first item on the agenda would be a double batch of chocolate chocolate chip cookies (with peanut butter filling) :) and I’d be able to do it without all my flour poofing out of the mixer onto the counter!

  711. SARA N.

    Grandma Eleanor’s chocolate crazy cake. Yum. I love to bake and have used a hand-mixer for years. I’m not sure I’d even know what to do with something like this! Very generous of you. :)

  712. Sandee Kincaid

    I’m not sure what I would make but it would be something with pumpkin because my 11 year old grandson loves all things pumpkin!

  713. Tee @ She Writes, Bites, and Window Shops

    I’d probably make something easy like whipped cream or chocolate chip cookies. Would absolutely love one of these!!

  714. Kim Luong

    we have a brick oven in our back yard and my husband spends hours making dough for our pizzas – with the mixer, he can do it at a fraction of the time and spend more time eating!

  715. Rebecca

    I would make sugar cookies. I love to decorate them. Next I would make a cake because I like to decorate those as well.

  716. Bev D'Angiolillo

    The first thing I would make with my 7-quart Kitchenaid would be Amish bread. I have been dying to try my friend’s recipe for this delicious bread but I don’t have a mixer at all and can’t afford one. Thanks for the opportunity.

  717. Heather

    I’d love to win this… the first thing I would make with it is pumpkin bread (from scratch!) then, (and honestly this would be my favorite part…) I’d package up the bread, put my old (but still perfectly fine) kitchenaid stand mixer in a box, gift wrap it and bring it over to my best friends house (with the pumpkin bread and recipe) for her. She has been wanting one for a while but just can’t bring herself to buy one. Thank you Kevin and Amanda for offering this great giveaway, and thank you to kitchenaid for making wonderful products that last generations!

  718. Michelle A

    I would make cinnamon roll pumpkin vanilla cake, for dessert for Thanksgiving. Its from the Picky Palate. YUM! Thanks for the chance to win.

  719. Lisa Brown

    I would make a batch of the thickest chocolate chips cookies ever!! And would not have to worry about my mixer giving out.

  720. Rachel

    Just some classic chocolate chip cookies. Simple and delicious.

    With a glass of milk and suddenly the whole world looks better.

  721. Danielle H

    Let’s see probably chocolate chips cookies since they are so classic then I would move on to bread. What an amazing give away. Would love to make all sorts of things with it!!!

  722. Meagen M

    I would make cupcakes of course! I’m the cupcake lady around here and I have quite a few holiday parties to make them for :)

  723. Jill Smith

    I would make bread! I have yet to makw bread for my family because of the mixer issue. I remember growing up and coming home from school and my mom had made bread! The smell would hit us at the front door and was so inviting. I would love to bring that memory for my kids and grandkids!

  724. Samantha C.

    I love my KitchenAid and would love this 7 quart KitchenAid even better! The first thing I’d make is fresh bread :)

  725. BettyC

    Oh–how I’d love this! I’d make a batch of cookies that is too difficult for my little portable mixer to handle!

  726. Valerie K

    Christmas Cookie Frosting… it call for it to be “beat” for 10-12 minutes. When you are using a hand mixer… you develop carpal tunnel :)

  727. Karlea

    Ohhh…so exciting and the red one is beautiful! The first thing I would make is my grandmother’s Thumprint cookies with almond frosting for the holidays. They are festive and delicious!

  728. Heather Michelle

    I’d make a huge batch of chocolate chip cookies and share them with all my classes! Especially with semester’s end nearing!

  729. James Dart

    I WOULD LOVE ONE ALL YEAR LONG. I WOULD BUY THE MEAT GRINDER AND FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENTS AND GO TO TOWN OH AND THE PASTA ROLLER ATTACHMENT. THEY ARE ALL GREAT FOR EVERY MEAL.

  730. Kimberly

    Love, love, LOVE this mixer! I would definitely make a big batch of chocolate chip cookies as soon as I got my hands on this beauty!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  731. Bobbie

    Swoon…that thing is absolutely gorgeous! I would make a batch of my grandmothers famous Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies.

  732. Brenda

    Oh my gosh, there would be no end to the making of pumpkin bread, holiday candy, cookies, and pies with this beautiful mixer!

  733. Renee F.

    Chocolate chip cookies of course. What better what better way to break in this beautiful mixer than a traditional cookie. :)

  734. Jane M.

    I would make a chocolate macaroon cake using my mons recipe It dirties every bowl in the kitchen but it’s worth every bowl, spoon and spatula!

  735. Jhinnah

    If I were the lucky winner, the first thing I would make would be my grandmothers “Everyday Sugar Cookies.” They are wonderful!

  736. Linda

    Oh my, I can’t even imagine what I would make first. It would depend on what time of day it was delivered because I’d want to use it right away: Mashed potatoes for dinner or sticky buns or a coffee cake for breakfast, or a birthday cake for my daughter’s upcoming birthday.

  737. Brenda Beeler

    This give away made my heart stop. I stand in front of Williams Sonoma and lust after this candy apple red mixer through the window.

    The first thing I make will be my famous chocolate chip cookies, with three different types of chocolate chips. I can’t wait!

  738. Heather Mayberry

    oh my goodness! i have been wanting a stand mixer for so long! i would make a host of things, starting with cupcakes! so excites about this giveaway! thank you for the opportunity to win this!

  739. Michelle

    BREAD for my HEAD!
    Cookies for my sweetie!
    and everything in between
    because I still think I’m a teen
    who can eat everything!

  740. Melissa Fridge

    I would make cream cheese frosting and put it on just about anything. I broke my rinky dink hand mixer so my husband has been filling in as mixer :)

  741. Kristi Johnson

    Oh, swoon is right… The first thing I would make is my gramma’s secret recipe chocolate cake (and the obligatory buttercream to go with it of course…)

  742. yuki

    OMG OMG OMG!! The candy apple colour is soooo me!! The first thing I’d make in it will definitely be macarons!! Mocha chip anyone??

  743. Sarah N.

    Is there anything wrong with just plain old, melt in your mouth, ooey, gooey, chocolate chip cookies? That is definitely what I would make.

  744. Sarah T

    Chocolate chip cookies! Second, I would use it to shred chicken because I have heard that you can do that with a mixer and I want to watch it in awe!

  745. Jenny

    I’m not really much of a baker so I think I might make creamy mashed potatoes as my first dish. Who knows, if I win I might suddenly become obsessed with baking!

  746. Sara J.

    I would totally start off by making my mom’s homemade *TO DIE FOR CINNAMIN ROLLS WITH CREAM CHEESE GLAZE!!! Then I would blog about it!
    I have wanted one of these since I was in college doing all my baking and such by HAND! I need one of these!

  747. Janet Duran

    What a great giveaway! I’d make waffles with it. I use the mixer to fluff the egg whites, which make the waffles crispier. My kids love my waffles! Thank you! :)

  748. Alicia

    Beautiful! I have to be honest in that I would give this mixer to my mom for Christmas if I won it. I already have one (she gave it to me) and she doesn’t. I know that if I were to give it to her, should definitely make some of her awesome cakes & pies that she always makes during the holidays!

  749. Ashley Norris

    I don’t know! I’d be too excited to decide if I actually won! But…whatever it is…it will be delicious.

  750. Kumonique Santiago

    I recently started baking to pass the time and to spend time with my kids. Since my husband will be deploying for the 5th time in Jan I will bake whatever can be shipped to him in Afghan, I am looking for new recipes and things to try so I dont neccessarily have anything in mind that I would bake first, but i would be baking to support my husband and the troops. I do know I would probably start off with something easy and by the time the deployment is over 7 months later, I will have hoped to work my way up to baking the more challenging things

  751. Jadin

    I have been longing for a Kitchen Aid mixer, begging for one for christmas hasn’t worked so far. If I had this mixer in my life the first thing I would make would be peasant bread with sun-dried tomatoes, mixed olives and caramelized onion – been massively craving it lately

  752. Marie

    Ooh, it’s so pretty! It would definitely come in handy for the Christmas cookies I will be making. Thanks for the chance to win!

  753. amanda

    wow-that’s a beauty! gosh, what wouldn’t i make? i guess my first would be a big batch of chocolate chip cookies…or banana bread or christmas cookies or…

  754. Larissa

    I would make a double batch of my chocolate chip cookies – those are my hubby and kids’ favorite! Then, I’d move on to my favorite – Raspberry Almond Shortbread Thumbprint cookies. To die for…Thanks for the contest!

  755. Tara

    aaaaahhhh! I would love this! I would make my famous {within my family} chocolate chip cookies. What a fun giveaway, especially right before the holidays!

  756. MaryCarol Hicks

    Wow, what wouldn’t I make? Something must be first though, right?

    I’d give your Ultimate Halloween Peanut Butter Oreo Brownie Bars the honor – I know it’s past Halloween, but peanut butter, oreos and brownies are still delicious and orange is a very fall color. I doubt my husband will mind!

    Thanks for sharing yourwonderful recipes!

  757. Maxine

    That is a thing of beauty! I would probably start with zuchinni muffins and then work my way backwards finding a recipe for every letter of the alphabet. Thanks for the opportunity to win something so gorgeous!

  758. Nicole Smith

    I would make my famous chocolate chip cookies in my NEW SILVER KITCHENAID!!! Such an awesome giveaway. Thank you!

  759. Sonnet Bee

    I would absolutely make peanut butter cookies. I have always strained making those with my own hands! A Kitchenaid like that would be amazing. I could make enough to bring to work to feed my co-workers and still keep plenty at home for the hubbie. Thanks for the opportunity!

  760. Jen C.

    For the last few holiday season’s I have started the tradition of making yummy baked goods for my friends and neighbors. I had never really baked in my life and found it easy to purchase or order packaged baked goodies to give as gifts. 5 years ago, I started an advertising agency and funds were tight – i still wanted to give yummy gifts, but on a budget – so i started making treats and putting them in decorative containers. I could only pull this baking feat off by borrowing a friends Kitchenaide mixer. She doesnt have room for hers at her house and never uses it. To this day, I still have her mixer and have yet to purchase my own! I would love to have a Kitchenaide mixer of my own to make my holiday goodies which often include: sugar cookies with peppermint icing, buckeyes, oreo truffles, raspberry ribbon slices, smores cookies and of course Christmas cutouts! : )

  761. Carol Wagner

    I would make my Mother’s Chocolate Chiffon Cake. Since the egg whites have to be beaten to stiff peaks, the stand mixer would be very nice!!

  762. Lori

    Oh where to start that would be a hard one, perhaps our favorite chocolate chip cookies, then some bread then a cake & it would come in handy for the 10 gingerbread houses i make every year for the kids to decorate @ Christmas. That
    much power would be awesome!!!

  763. Marie

    Most likely some delicious chocolate shortbread! Or any kind of shortbread since we’re about to start our Christmas baking!!

  764. Kori

    I have never owned a free standing mixer so the first thing I would make would be dough using that fancy dough hook… pizza dough or some fancy bread dough. Not having to “pop” open a Pillsbury tube of pizza dough would be a dream come true!

  765. Vicky Ferguson

    The first thing I would make in my NEW beautiful RED Kitchenaid mixer would be beautiful white divinity!
    Thank you so much
    Vicky

  766. Lisa

    hmmmmm, well with the holidays approaching I would use it for EVERYTHING!…mashed potatoes, pies, whipped cream. Or maybe, I would let it just sit there and stare at the beauty of it…choices, choices. Beautiful!

  767. Erin

    The first thing I would make is pumpkin cookies! I can’t get enough pumpkin this time of year. I have never owned a KitchenAid but I have always dreamed of owning one!

  768. Christian

    Beautiful Mixer!!
    While I love cookies and cakes, I would feel the need to make up huge bowl of funnel cake batter. My lady love never allows me to buy these when we are out… so I figure I need to get my fix somewhow. And, what better way than with a new mixer?! Thanks for the give away!
    C

  769. Jamie

    i would love to give a mixer to my mom for Christmas- she has never owned one!!! I know she would make her infamous banana nut bread or we would make together a german chocolate cake!!! :)

  770. Stephanie

    Oh wow what wouldn’t I make!? My boyfriend loves my cheesecake so that would be the first thing I’d make. And then my grandmothers german chocolate cake! YUM

  771. Jennifer

    I would make my Grandma’s cupcake recipe that she called Funeral Cupcakes which is really depressing since they are the best cupcakes ever.

  772. Carol Wagner

    I would make my Mother’s Chocolate Chiffon Cake. Since the egg whites have to be beaten to stiff peaks, the stand mixer would be so nice!!

  773. Thais

    Hands down I would make Christmas cookies till I couldn’t see straight so that I could send BOXES and BOXES and BOXES to our troops!!! In the last month I have said good-bye to 2 co-workers who received Military orders to go overseas for the next year. We are beginning to organize care packages for them, but BOXES of Christmas cookies would be the ABSOLUTE BEST. Since yesterday, November 10, was the 236th birthday of the United States Marine Corp. and today, November 11, is Veteran’s Day, I would definitely choose red.

  774. Amy

    I would make a batch of chocolate chip cookies to be ready and waiting for my kiddos when they got home from school! Thanks, Kevin&Amanda, for the chance to win!

  775. Kym J Ray

    Whoo whee, my dream machine!! I’d be afraid to get it dirty!! After admiring it for several hours, I’d probably make some bread, no, I’d make a lemon cake I’ve been wanting, oh, too many choices!! Maybe I’ll just stick with admiring it….thanks for the chance! I LOVE your site, you are a sweetheart, Amanda…loved the cotton fields, I’ve always wondered what they look like…Thank You!!!

  776. Don Pringle

    I’d make my 93 year old father his mothers oatmeal raisin cookies. He keeps talking about them and I just ran across her recipe.

  777. Barrie

    I would make classic buttercream frosting, it’s so hard to coordinate using a handheld mixer and while adding the ingredients!

  778. Kathi

    Bread! My current Kitchenaid rocks from side-to-side when I make bread. I’m pretty sure its last days are approaching :(

  779. Becca

    I would love to win this mixer! I would probably make the NY Times best chocolate chip cookie recipe. Have been wanting to make them for awhile now!

  780. Megan

    I wouldn’t stop making stuff with that baby! The very first thing that I would make would be pasta. I have always dreamt of making homeade pasta! Thanks for this great giveaway!

  781. Michelle W.

    I have wanted one of the Kitchen Aide mixers for several years. The first thing I would make would be my husband’s and my son’s favorite holiday (aka anytime) treat “Oreo Balls”. They are so hard to mix by hand and a hand held mixer just won’t cut it.

  782. jacquelyn

    wow.. i have one of these bad boys on my wedding registry but that’s next year and i want it NOW! what WON’T i make with it?!?!? i think i would have to say red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.. no wait, bread.. no wait..

  783. Sandy S

    Considering the season, I’d have to make one of my mom’s carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting… at least to start :-) Thanks for a chance to win!

  784. Leah

    What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?

    My grandmother’s cinnamon roll recipe, except I’d use orange icing instead of the plain.

  785. Tina Bulinski

    I would make everythinggg!!! First I would make all my holiday cookies, breads, pies, etc. Then I would just roll from there!! I would look into every possibility!!!

  786. Jennifer Lassiter

    I would make my husband his favorite peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!! OMG, I want that soooooooo bad!

  787. JULIE REYNOLDS

    I LOVE THIS MIXER, ESPECIALLY THE CANDY APPLE RED – OH MY!!
    THE FIRST THING I WOULD MAKE WOULD BE MY HUSBAND’S FAVORITE BETTER THAN SIN CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY ON NOV. 18TH! AND AFTER THAT WHAT COULD BE MORE FUN THAN PREPARING ALL THE THANKSGIVING TREATS WITH A NEW KITCHENAID??

  788. Jessie

    I would start with Snickerdoodles, but I’d probably make some eggnog cake, chocolate chip cookies, and more….who knows! I love that it comes in red :)

  789. Jean B.

    Gingerbread, I love it this time of year. I use my Mother’s recipe and it brings me back to my childhood (several, several years ago!)

  790. kc2volley

    I would make pizza dough….something I have wanted to try for a long time….but I would have to be fighting off my daughter who would want to make cookies.

  791. Debbie D

    The first thing that I would make with my new kitchenaide mixer would be holiday breads to give to my neighbors and friends!

  792. amanda jones

    I’d definitely make cookie dough, since the holidays are coming up. I have a list of recipes from your site and Picky Palate that I need to work on soon. :)

  793. Leslie

    Oh my goodness, be still my beating heart. That baby is huge!
    I have a smaller, older version in candy red and I wish I had a black one, so sleek and beautiful. Is that weird? Maybe.

    I would definitely have to go traditional and say our family’s recipe for chocolate chip cookies would break that sucker in. Then, I’d probably go crazy and make a ton of new baked goodies because the obsession runs deep.

    Thanks for such an amazing giveaway!

  794. Kristi K.

    I would use this awsome mixer to make bread. We just found out our youngest boy is allergic to soy (in addition to dairy) and all store made bread we have found has soy in it. I have been making a couple loaves of bread a week for about a month now.

  795. Lisa J

    Like any bake-aholic, I have been wanting one since I was 16. I would definitely make cupcakes, cookies, and our family Christmas Santa cake, and the Easter carrot cake. The list could go on and on for this baker! Thanks for the chance to win one! Good luck to everyone.

  796. Debbie D

    The baking that I would be able to do would be fabulous! This is my dream to own a kitchenaide mixer. My handheld just does not compare to that mixer.

  797. Jennifer Ericksen

    I would die if I won one! I’ve never had a mixer and this is the one I’ve been dreaming of….and I think I’d have to get it in red. Ok, but I’d make cookies for my son and husband….and then lots of treats for the rest of my family during the holidays!

  798. Megan

    If I won the Kitchenaid mixer, the first thing I would make is the 7 Up cake my friend has been trying to get me to make for a year. I haven’t made it yet because it has to be mixed for 12 minutes and I don’t have a stand mixer!! I could do so much!!

  799. Rebecca

    I’ve never seen a mixer as beautiful but this one definitely is. I would make chocolate chip cookies then go from there . . sugar cookies, bread, cheesecake. .

  800. Marsha

    Just before reading your blog, I ran off a copy of an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. It sounds delish and I would sure like to give this 7-Quart Kitchenaid a whirl with these cookies…oh, and bread – Love Homemade Bread!

  801. chatelaine

    My Mom’s cinnamon roll recipe. it basically overflows in my current standard Kitchenaid mixer – what is the standard like 4 or 5 qt?

  802. Erin Ruff

    I have been wanting a KitchenAid mixer FOREVER! I would start simple, PIZZA DOUGH! I ruined my hand mixer trying to make dough. Pick me PLEASE!

  803. Kaylene

    first thing I would make would be a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for my husband. They are his favorite and we’ve kind of practically had to skip fall festivities this year because we have been traveling so much for sad reasons.

  804. Chelle Chapman

    Thank you for this chance!!! I would make a triple layer cake, yellow w/ chocolate frosting. (Hubs fave!!) I would have soooo much fun w/ this thing! Thnx again for this opportunity!

  805. Kim

    LOL…That’s easy…Peanutbutter cookies…we have “killed” 2 hand mixers making our receipe……love the RED!!!!

  806. Scarlet Latislaw

    I would make chicken salad w/cranberries, heard you can use the blender
    blade to chop up the chicken like the deli chicken, can’t wait to try that.
    Need my Blender in SCARLET *******

  807. Hope

    I really want to try and make some cake pops! It would really be handy to have one of these to mix large quanties! I really need one of these!

  808. Terry B

    I would love this mixer! I would make a delightful Pumpkin Cheesecake! So looking forward to receiving this new mixer! It will look fabulous on my counter!

  809. Kinj

    I would stir up a batch of caramel pecan cinnamon rolls for my husband. Thankfully I don’t really like them so I won’t eat them all :) great giveaway thanks

  810. Emily

    The first thing I’d make is pumpkin bread! I’ve been craving it all season, and I just haven’t yet made the time for it! Thanks for the opportunity to win this beauty:)

  811. Holly D.

  813. Annette Mummery

    What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    I would make chocolate chip pumpkin bread with my daughter!

  814. Doni

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”
    I’d whip up one of Paula Deen’s Ooey Gooey Butter Cakes! Tis the season to indulge right!! :)

  815. Wendi

    Christmas cookies to take to my family when we celebrate Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is the only holiday we will be able to be together and everyone loves my cookies :) this would make cookies so much easier!

  816. debbie myers

    oh i just love this mixer. the first thing i would make is cookies for my little grandies. thanks for the chance.

  817. juls

    let’s see my husband is the baker and i’m positive he would make many different kinds of cookies! he makes the best and during Christmas he makes 6-12 different kinds. our friends and family look forward to this time of year because they know they will be getting his treats! thanks :)

  818. Michelle

    Oh my goodness the new model is BEAUTIFUL!
    I would make my baking favorite, perfect snickerdoodle cookies, actually i’ll probably make them tonight anyways…

  819. Kate

    11/11 is my dog’s birthday. before having kids, my dog was (and still is) my ‘kid.’ I’ve made her plain vanilla cupcakes (sans icing) since her first birthday. so, today…I would whip up a batch of those bad boys just for her!

  820. Crystal A.

    This is a wonderful giveaway! I haven’t done much baking since my mixer started to die, but I would love to make a variety of cookies with my son for Christmas! This will be the first year that he is big enough to help and we’re excited :)

  821. Stacy D

    I’ve been wanting a Kitchenaid mixer for the longest time! The first thing I’d use it for would probably be mixing up the cream cheese filling I use in pumpkin rolls. Yum! Thanks for the chance to win!

  822. Leah

    I have been DYING for one of these!!!

    I would make coookies! White chocolate macadamia, to be exact. =)

    Thank you for the absolutely wonderful giveaway!!

  823. Neda

    I’m going rogue and will have to say my husband’s grandmother’s mashed potato casserole for a Sunday family dinner…or Thanksgiving. I know, I know…everyone picks something sweet, but this family could live on that side dish and a 7qt mixer would allow me to make an even bigger batch! ;^)

  824. diana munoz

    Oh my with all the Holiday baking about to happen, I’d love to get all my sugar cookies done with this amazing kitchen aid! I think the silver is gorgeous!

  825. Carolyn

    OMG! I HAVE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THAT RED MIXER! :)

    I would definitely make the most yummy chocolate cake thing ever. Or homemade bread. Or maybe I’d buy the ice cream attachment and make ice cream. Oh man. The possibilities.

  826. Elizabeth

    Monster Cookies. They’re my step brothers’ favorite and they are very messy to make without a mixer! I generally have to go to my parent’s house to use theirs. ;)

  827. angie balling

    With such a big bowl I’d make some delicious wholesome wheat bread!
    Then I’d whip up some yummy raspberry butter. I’d invite you all to come
    and enjoy.

  828. Charlotte

    The first thing I would make would be a huge multiple recipe of marshmallow fondant. I can never make enough at one time in the Kitchenaide I have now. This would be my pride and joy!!!!!

  829. Jennifer

    I would make pizza dough. I make pizza pockets for my son’s lunch because of his dietary restrictions and I make pizza dough every week.

  830. Holly Schaeffer

    Well…I have the BEST, yea I said the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe. And that would only be appropriate to make those first!

  831. Kelly

    Wow, that mixer is beautiful! I would make a chocolate dot pumpkin cake – haven’t made it yet this season, and it’s a tradition in our house this time of year.

  832. Courtney

    The first thing I would make with my new kitchenaid mixer would be a tie-dyed cake for my best friend’s bachelorette party! She’s obsessed with tie-dyed anything, her wedding colors are orange and blue (only because she couldn’t do a tie-dyed theme).
    I remember making cookies and cakes with my grandmother’s kitchenaid mixer as a young girl. I’m soon-to-be-engaged and was hoping she would pass down her mixer to me for a wedding present because we won’t be able to afford a new one, so this would be an amazing gift!!

  833. Betsy

    I would be making a yellow cake with chocolate cream cheese icing. Since this is a 7 quart mixer I probably should make 2 cakes at once!

  834. Sarah Cassio

    I would make Christmas cookies. We make cookies for the single Airman in the dorms on base, cookies for teachers and students and of course all of the holiday baking for family. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

  835. Jennifer L.

    I would make myself some gluten-free bread! Because I haven’t had bread in SO long. & then I’d sit and eat the whole loaf at once.

  836. Marlee Dickerson

    I believe I would make CUPCAKES! love cupcakes…or bread, those 2 extra quarts would be really handy for bread making…thank you!

  837. Tiffany

    I would make some chocolate chip cookies. I have just been striking out lately on all of the recipes I’d try, but I’m willing to try more :)

  838. Cathy M

    I would make this mixer go to my sister’s house…where she would make up her incredible confections in massive quantities…cakes, cookies, pies and we would all be in heaven!

  839. Mary Norsworthy

    It’s impossible to make divinity for Christmas using my little 15-year-old hand mixer because you need both hands free, so that definitely would be my first project with this amazing mixer.

  840. Sarah Weber

    Would love to have a stand mixer. Kitchenaid would be the BOMB!!! I would start out making bread….cinnamon rolls, loaf bread, etc!!! I love your Blog, I grew up with Boston Terrier as my father’s dog of choice. Love those little dogs!

  841. kristi e

    I think I would try something from the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten. I love her program and she’s always mixing something yummy in her Kitchenaid mixer. I would also try to make some sort of bread with that dough hook. The possibilities are ENDLESS!!
    Thanks for the opportunity! :)

  842. Sirra

    I hooked on Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day….I’d proabably whip up a double batch. But if my kids got to it before me, which is quite possible, they’d make cakes or cupcakes!

  843. MandaKay

    WOW – this may be the BEST giveaway YET!!! I would totally make some yummy bread first with the bread hook attachment! My current Kitchenaid does not have the bread hook attachment, so this would be a great thing to try! Thanks for the opportunity!!! AMAZING!

  844. Brenda

    My Mom’s extremely old and very coveted White Fruitcake recipe! I tried to make it yesterday with my 4 quart mixer and had to dump it all out into a large bowl and mix it by hand.

  845. Krista

    Ooohh…. this is INCREDIBLE!! I would LOVE this. First thing I would make in my new mixer would be “Cream Puffs”!! Yummy, flaky popovers with fluffy whipped cream.

  846. Dalis

    how about a rosemary pizza dough??? I think that would be a perfect way to start lovin’ this gorgeous monstrosity… LUV’ IT!

    — dalis

  847. MeganM.

    I’ve always wanted a kitchen aid mixer!!! I would totally make my favorite recipe of chocolate chip cookies. Can’t go wrong with the basics! :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!!

  848. H~M

    I would make cookies! I think all new kitchen appliances must be tested by making some sort of yummy dessert, if possible!

  849. Angie T.

    As crazy as it seems, I have been want one to shred chicken after reading an article about how great the mixers are at doing that.

  850. Mercedes

    I would help my husband make is famous (at least around here!) chocolate chip cookies… he usually makes one batch at a time, and he could easily make a double in this… and he has to make a double every time because they go so fast!

  851. Diane Hillas

    I would begin by making all of my Thanksgiving favorites, as winning this would truly be a blessing! I’d make pumpkin cheesecake, rolls and pecan pie.

  852. Dawn

    I do not own one of these but have always wanted one. Since the holidays are here, I would make some homemade pumpkin bread! YUM. Thanks.

  853. Jodie P.

    Wow–what a beautiful mixer!! I would make chocolate chip cookies…I have the best recipe that has salt sprinkled on top…delish!!!

  854. Denise N

    OMG!!! This would be a dream come true! I can never afford to purchase one myself – instead, I have a KitchenAid that is about 20 years old that a friend picked up for me at a garage sale. I love that one, but it is old and small….I would ABSOLUTELY love this gorgeous red one!!! Pick me!

  855. Julie Millard

    The first thing I would make in my new AMAZING KitchenAid- would have to be cookies- My Dad has cancer, and his Christmas Present this year will be a batch of cookies at least 2 times a month…hard to do without a mixer- but something that he will enjoy!!!

  856. Shelby

    I would use my fabulous new cheery red kitchen aid to make holiday sugar cookies with my kids! Thanks for this wonderful chance to win!

  857. Joanne Zwiers

    Ooo what *wouldn’t* I make?? I think, with Thanksgiving looming, I’d have no choice but to make my dear mother’s homemade pumpkin bread. Yummy!!

  858. Amber

    How awesome! I would probably make cookies…that’s what I usually make and it’s an easy thing my 2-year old can help with!

  859. Kehly

    Oh goodness. I have always wanted one of these! I love love love making cupcakes, but I’ve only ever had a hand mixer. I think I would make lemon cupcakes with the perfect lemon curd and fluffy whipped topping. Sounds so yummy for breakfast right now :)

    Thanks for the giveaway, Amanda! Have a fun weekend.

  860. Laura Shackelford

    A 7-Quart Kitchenaid?! This is too good to be true! I remember when I first started looking at Kitchenaid mixers at Target. I thought that they must be kidding with this 4 and a half quart mixing bowl. I always make a double batch of just about everything that I bake, then off it goes to the freezer for yummy goodness over and over again later. In any event, considering the time of year, I’d most likely make up a batch, double of course, of my scrumptious pumpkin, dark chocolate chip muffins – so perfect!

  861. Paige

    Bread! I do most of the baking for our family, as well as have a bread baking business with a number of customers. There have been many days that I’ve had to makedouble batches of three or more different items, so this mixer would really come in handy!

  862. Vanessa

    Awesome contest- you guys are the best! You’re blog has inspired some wonderful meals at our apartment and I can’t thank you enough :)

    With this mixer, I would make my grandma’s pasta dough so I can bring my family’s ravioli recipe to my friends at college. Every Christmas Eve, since the time I needed a step-stool to reach the kitchen counter, I have been helping my grandmother and aunts make hand made raviolis for my HUGE italian family. We would even uses a wine glass to cut each little pasta/ricotta pillow out of the dough. Since I live away from my family now for four years, I’ve always wanted to bring this tradition to my friends as a part of the holidays. This mixer would not only let me share this special dish with my family away from home, but allow me to continue to make these raviolis for years to come.

    Thank you so much and Happy Veterans’ Day!

  863. Angelique

    Challah! I’ve been dying to make Challah from scratch, but it always seems so complicated without a stand mixer.

  864. Christy

    I’d love to win this beauty & put a big manly bow on it for my husband. He is an amazing cook & I have no doubt he’d put it to great use. His first creation would be a toss up between homemade pasta & homemade spicy mustard for a fresh pastrami sandwich. Mmmmmm mmmm!!

  865. cindy cole

    I would mix up my large recipe of sugar cookie dough, so it would be ready in my freezer for cookie making come December. That stuff is thick. This mixer in Silver would be awesome!!!!

  866. Cat

    I wouldn’t make anything with it personally, but would pack it into my oldest daughters hopechest, so that she could use it as she begins her new family!

  867. Jody Rollins

    The first thing I would make in my new KitchenAid is my son’s birthday cake for his first birthday. Cream Cheese frosting and red velvet cake, yum!

  868. Suzanne

    I make Christmas cookies every year the day after Thanksgiving. That’s the first thing I would make in this mixer – HUGE BATCHES OF COOKIES!!!

  869. stephanie

    i always said the first thing i would make when i [finally!] get one of these would be a cake *from scratch*!

    thanks for the chance to win!

  870. Lrnmgud

    Without a doubt–my chocolate chip cookies. My boys love them so much they request the cookies over cupcakes for their class birthday treat.

    And wirh a 7-quart? MASS BATCHES, baby! ;)

  871. Jenny

    Oh my gosh…I have been dying for one of these for years…I would probably make plain old delicious chocolate chip cookies! Thank you!

  872. Judy

    The first thing I would make is divinity, I can see that I would not have to worry about the Kitchen Aid heating up on me. I would be able to run the mixer until I had the perfect consistency for perfect divinity!! Yumm

  873. Amy Wetzel

    I would make a cake for my grandpa. He turns 100 next year and I just started learning how to cook and bake. I want him to be the first one that I baked for.

  874. Gayla

    I make a homemade from scratch German chocolate cake for the holidays. This is what I would use the Kitchenaid for.

  875. Kayla Castillo

    Ahh! I want one of these sooo bad! I would probably make about 10 different kinds of cupcakes the day I got it! First would be chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting, my little sisters favorite!!

  876. Leigh

    I would be overwhelmed with choices. Not very creative but I would make a cake for my neighbor who just got home from the hospital, he’s been going through some really hard times recently. :) Thanks for the chance!

  877. Jackie

    It’s the most wonderful time of the year to make cookies and lots of cookies. That is what I would make if I won a kitchen-aid. :)

  878. Linda

    OMG!!!! I think I would bake a big heavy carrot cake with fluffy cream cheese frosting and eat the whole thing myself-Ok maybe I would share just a little with Mike and Brooklyn.

  879. Alison

    I would make about 50 different recipes for pound cake to try and find the “perfect” one. Thanks for the give-a-way! You rock!

  880. Laura

    I’d actually give it to my sister, who, if she knows what’s good for her, will promptly use it to bake me a thank-you cake.

  881. Renée

    I would take any color. I would just love to have one. The first thing I would make would be a huge batch of Christmas Cookies! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  882. Jewels

    I would very much like the black one. I have been dreaming of a stand-up mixer for a while now!!
    The first thing I would make in my mixer would most likely be chocolate chip cookies. They are my favorite and when I made them in one of these mixers they are so fluffy and so yummy!!!

  883. Patti

    I would make………… a delicious carrot cake! It’s my 39th anniversary today and my husband STILL loves everything I bake.

  884. Mocha with Linda

    Oh my. That looks delightful! Christmas red, too! I would make my mom’s fruitcake. Or some homemade bread.

  885. Stefanie Stratton

    i know this is a total long shot to win this, but I am DYING for a kitchen aid! Can you believe I dont already have one!? Crazy I know!
    I would definetly make Chocolate Chip Cookies! Of course I’m sure with my husband around only 1/2 of the dough would make it to the oven! ;)

  886. Leanne

    Oh wow! This is beautiful!!! The first thing I’d make is meringue but I know my hubby would buy the sausage attachment and make his own sausage pretty quick!

  887. Michelle Wright

    I always wanted one of those. First thing would be a toss up between a cake or mashed potatoes. Great give~away.

  888. Jynelle

    I would make my Haystack meringue cookies…..I make them every Christmas & the fluffier they are beat up, the better!!!

  889. Nancy Smelser

    The first thing I would make in my Kitchenaid would be a glorious triple layer devil’s food cake! I would be in heaven!!!

  890. Ellen

    I would make some bread! As much as I like kneading by hand, I would love a Kitchenaid to help! Then I would probably have to make a bunch of other stuff like cookies (or at least cookie dough, I’ve been wanting to try your cookiepops), followed by frosting, rockyroad brownie bars, and the list continues. Oh how I’d love to have this Kitchenaid! Life is Good :)

  891. Karla Anderson

    The first thing I would make would be some chocolate cupcakes to celebrate winning the mixer! Thanks for the chance to win, I want one of these so badly, but it will NEVER be in the budget..lol.

  892. Maria

    What wouldn’t I make?! But I think the first thing I would make would be cookies…typical yummy chocolate chip cookies!

  893. Chelsey Hancock

    Frosting definitely! I love making frosting in Kitchenaids, it is SO much easier and SO much more delicious!! Then I would probably have to whip up a recipe from your site, of course!

  894. Carol

    Ooohhh! This is beautiful! I have wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer for soooo long. This would look beautiful in my kitchen. I would definitely make home made bread.

  895. Ursula

    I would make tri-color cookies. My family loves them but I never get the dough just right. This would make them perfect.

  896. Sav O'Gwynn

    OHH! I would def. make some amazing cupcakes! I have a recipe I found on your blog a couple of months ago that I’d like to try!

    THANKS for the chance to win:) sbmmhoover at yahoo dot com

  897. Amy

    Cupcakes! I got a new cupcake cookbook from my coworkers when I bought my house a few months ago and I’d love to try making some of the creations in there.

  898. Marla

    Oh, that is a beautiful machine, Amanda!

    I would make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip. Cuz it’s Thanksgiving and all! :)

  899. Anne M

    I would make the largest batch of chocolate chip cookies that this baby could handle and take them to our city’s firefighters.

  900. Donna Stone

    Definitely something chocolate, made with real butter and vanilla. Then I’d whip some real cream to go with it.

  901. Vanessa

    Homemade Oreos. I have burnt through many a cheap hand mixer trying to make them. The silver would look divine on my counter. Love this giveaway!!!

  902. Beth Sanborn

    mmmm….the possibilities are endless! I am a cooking/baking fanatic! I think I would make something with pumpkin in it for Thanksgiving!

  903. Aimee M

    I would make red velvet cupcakes!! My favorite dessert. I’m in grad school and living on my own, and I reeeeally miss my mom’s Kitchenaid!

  904. Lisa

    Oh how I would love this mixer! I would make ton’s of finger licking good banana nut bread for Thanksgiving….my fingers are crossed.

  905. Jen

    Love the candy apple red! Since that season is approaching, the first thing I would make would have to be Christmas cookies – my 91-year-old aunt’s traditional recipe! Yum!!

  906. Amy

    Liege Waffles for 50! Every weekend we have a waffle breakfast for our neighbors. These aren’t any ordinary waffles – these waffles are divine. We start with a brioche type dough and then add in Pearl Sugar – cook them in a hand turned cast iron Liege Waffle maker and top them with Pear & Prosciutto, Bacon and Brie, Bananas and Nutella, Lemon Panna Cotta & Blueberry compote, and much more. Then we all sit around and gab for 2 hours, catch up on the week and drink obscene amounts of coffee. Having a mixer would save HOURS of work. Making the dough is a 24 hour process. But, so worth it.

  907. Deanna

    I would make a family favorite, my Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies and with this baby I could make some for the whole neighborhood!!

  908. Suzanne

    I think I’d have to christen it with a big batch of Snickerdoodles!! OR ~~ hook up my pasta attachment and make some wonderful home made pasta!! OR ~~ my home made carrot cake with maple cream cheese frosting!!

    Thanks for the chance!! Oh – – and I believe I’d HAVE to grab the silver one!!!

    Hugs ~~ Suz

  909. Christa M

    I have a list as long as my arm of Holiday goodies that I have got to get started on! The first would probably be my Brown Butter/Salted Caramel/Chocolate Chip cookies. I make a quadruple batch to satisfy all of the sweet eaters on my Christmas list and the batter does well when stored in the freezer before thawing and baking. So I always make this one first. The giant capacity & power of this mixer would be a HUGE help!

  910. Dawn Dennison

    I have always wanted a KitchenAid! I would make cookies! Dozens and dozens of different kinds of cookies! And pies! And cakes! Yummmmm…..

  911. Melissa

    If I won this mixer…I would make pizza dough! My hubby loves pizza! That mixer happens to be beyond gorgeous! Wonderful give away! I want it…me, me , me!

  912. Karla Curington

    I would make chocolate chip cookies!! I used to make them all the time, but now I have pains in my wrist and HATE to mix them by hand!

  913. Beth James

    We host a annual “cookie bake day” at our house for all of the kids after Thanksgiving. This is a tradition that has been going on for over 30 years.
    I have been wanting this mixer forever! I always have to beg my mom and grandma to bring theirs so we can use them. Oh how this would make a nice lil addition to this awesome event.

  914. Terri

    I love the Kitchenaid mixers (they are the absolute best) and would make cupcakes first and then chocolate chip cookies. What color would I want? Black, of course! I love black!

  915. Amanda C

    Cookies! I love to make bread and just about everything else in it, but cookies would be the best way to christen such a beautiful machine :)

  916. Jenni Bennett

    If I win this beautiful mixer, the first thing I’ll do is get all my girlfriends together to make our favorite Christmas cookies before the holidays arrive! Pick me!!

  917. Michelle

    I would make a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving, of course! :)

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    michellechissler {at} gmail {dot} com

  918. Leslie C

    Well my parents are coming to visit & it’s my Dad’s birthday so I would make his favorite: German Chocolate Cake!

  919. Jessica

    I would jump up and down while clapping my hands and screaming for a few minutes THEN I would make cinnamon rolls! Thanks for the chance and for your awesome site! :-)

  920. Bridie Smith

    CHRISTMAS COOKIES!! I have a 1 1/2 year old daughter and I would love, love, love to start the tradition of making Christmas cookies with her. I don’t have a stand mixer so this would be so helpful with our baking and starting the tradition.

  921. Shae Lusk

    I would love a mixer I don’t have one and have been pinning after a red Kitchenaide for years!!!!

    The first thing I would make is my mother-in-laws lemon chiffon cake!!!! It is to die for!!!

    Pick me!!!

  922. Keenan

    I’d make my husband some yummy chocolate cookies. Years ago, when we were first dating he said he’d get me a mixer for Christmas. I was terrified – we hadn’t been dating long and I CERTAINLY didn’t have enough money to reciprocate that kind of gift. He teased me for weeks that he was going to get me a mixer and he did – a beautiful ceramic bowl and a large spoon. He said I had to supply the energy. 14 years later it would be AWESOME to win this gorgeous mixer! Merry Christmas to me!

  923. JoeyfromSC

    Wow, this is so awesome! I have dreamed of owning one of these lol

    I’d mix up a pumpkin cheesecake batter(and do the crust in here too) in the Kitchen-Aid mixer if I was so lucky to win!! I love to bake!!

    Thank you for the chance!!

    ajoebloe(at)gmail(dot)com

  924. meredith rooney

    Where to start =I would have to get out my cookbook and start at the beginning! This machine would get such a workout especially with Thanksgiving coming. My first would have to be a recipe a friend gave me for their Chocolate Cheesecake that is so so delicious!

  925. Sylvia

    My mother made an amazing zuchinni bread, but she passed away in 1995. I was never able to find her recipe. Last year my best friend called me during the holidays and told me that she found my mother’s handwritten zucchini bread recipe that was given to her, by my mother, when we were teenagers. I was so excited! Although I have made it several times since, that would be the absolute first thing I would make, if I won the Kitchen Aid!

  926. Valerie P.

    This is so gorgeous! I would first make chocolate chunk cookies and then another type and would keep on baking all day. This would make it so much fun!!!!

  927. Teresa M.

    I would make Coconut Lime Cupcakes with Malibu frosting! I am hosting a large baby shower soon, and would that mixer ever come in handy!!

  928. Lynn Otwell

    A choclate pound cake would be my first choice. It takes a lot of mixing . What a wonderful excuse to just stand there and watch it work.

  929. Berta B.

    I would make my ‘not-so-famous-but-oh-so-delicious’ chocolate chip cookies – my style with loads of chocolate! Hugs!
    PS. My mixer is on it’s LAST LEG – thanks for a chance to win!

  930. Nichole C.

    I would definitely make some macaroons! I hear they can be made with a hand mixer (or eesh, even with your own hands) but I want to wait until I have something as beautiful as this to tackle them! Great giveaway!

  931. Kristina Humble

    That is BEAUTIFUL! The first thing I would make is my mother-in-law’s amazing homemade sourdough biscuits… Yummm!

  932. Lucy Lam

    WOW!!! What a beauty!!!
    I would make a ton of pie crusts for thanksgiving pies! I’d also whip up fresh whipped cream:D
    Thanks for letting us have a chance to win this fantastic mixer!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed:)

  933. Cindy

    I would make my children’s favorite Christmas cookies. I am sure that it would be so easy that I can make lots of extra, so they can take with them to thier homes.

  934. Amanda

    First thing I’d make in a brand new, shiny, amazing KitchenAid would have to be something classic. Sugar, or chocolate chip cookies…definitely!!!

  935. Joanne Cuny

    It would have to be my Grandma’s home-made Cream Puffs. Memories of baking with Grandma seem to grow more precious as I’ve grown older…do everything with love-as she would say. (Thankful for your site!)

  936. Jen Gardner

    What an awesome giveaway! I would start trying out all the pumpkin cheesecake recipes so I can have the perfect one for Thanksgiving!

  937. Cheri

    nice that it’s finally big enough to double batches of cake batter, cookie dough, bread – ahhhh. I would make a double batch of cinnamon rolls probably!

  938. Cindee

    That is a beauty of a mixer! I have a recipe for Artisan Bread (my nine year old says “if I had a million billion dollars I’d give you all of it for a loaf of this bread”)… last time I tried to double the recipe and it was too much for my mixer to handle. I’d love to have a 7-qt. mixer that could mix it up with ease.

  939. Susan Yates

    The first thing I would make in my Kitchenaid would be a delicious cheesecake! I hope I’m lucky enough to win…this is a fabulous giveaway :)

    Susan Yates

  940. Jenna

    I would either make orange juice cake for Thanksgiving or try to find something to make for dinner that I could use it. I want one so bad!

  941. Dawn M.

    Id certainly run and grab one of my favorite bread recipes to bake. I’d probably follow that up with some muffins or cookies :)

  942. Molly

    Normally, I would say cookies….but I think this mixer is cause for celebration, so I would have to branch out and make something new…maybe some cheesecake!

  943. Erin D.

    If it got here in time for Thanksgiving, I’d be mixing all my treats in there. Starting with pumpkin ginger cupcakes with buttercream frosting. YUM!!

  944. Lea Davis

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    I would make my husband’s favorite, Angel Food Cake. I know he would love it since that is the only thing I know how to make from scratch. I really want this mixer to be able to practice more recipes with!! Please pick this newlywed!!

  945. Stacy H

    The first thing I would make if I won this fancy schmancy mixer is cookies – Peanut Butter Temptations, to be exact.

  946. Debbie

    OMG! This is beautiful…..the first thing I would make…ummmmm…so much to choose from, Pumpkin praline cookies!!!

  947. holly

    oh gosh, i’d love that red one… There are some salted caramel bars i’ve been wanting to make, so that’s what i’d do!

  948. Ashley L

    Wow, what an amazing giveaway!!! I’ve been DYING for one of these mixers. The first thing I would make in there would be cream cheese pound cake, for sure!

  949. Bec Sleeman

    It would have to be christened with a no-bake chocolate cheesecake… the most amazing desert there ever was.

  950. Karen Garbacik

    My daughter is getting married and I will be making the cake/cupcakes so this would be the first thing I would make in it and then I would give it to her for her wedding present!!! What an awesome prize – thank you so much for the opportunity to win!!!!!!!!!!

  951. Avery Karnes

    I would make ‘Granny’s cookies’ with my new 7-qt. KitchenAid! My boyfriend always asks for cookies and it’s just so much more difficult with a hand mixer!

  952. Kristin Murdock

    OH. MY. GOSH! This is a beauty!! What an exciting giveaway. Ok… the first thing I would make in this gorgeous thing would probably have to be a loaf of cinnamon swirl bread. There’s no better use of the power of a Kitchen Aid than kneading a beautiful loaf of homemade bread. :)

  953. Angela

    I would LOVE this mixer… 7qt? AMAZING!! I would make this wonderful cheesecake that I have been dying to make forever, it would make it so much easier in this huge mixer!!

  954. Erin

    The first thing I would make is pumpkin bagels. I love homemade bagels but it’d be so much easier to have a machine do all the kneading for me!

  955. Michele V

    It’s so pretty!
    The possibilities are endless – I would probably start with chocolate cake and some home made icing!
    Thanks Amanda & Kitchen Aid!

  956. Lorie Mcqueen

    As soon as i got it I would open it up, set it up and make me some tried and true cinnamon-banana pancakes! yum i love pancakes and i can eat them all times of the day. I would love the red one ooooooo. : ) hope i win cuz i never win any time i enter these giveaways and boy do i enter a lot.

  957. Lori Hada

    I would immediately make my Grandfather’s recipe for toasting bread. It’s a very heavy dough. This would be so AWESOME!!

  958. Cindy Davis

    I’d love the red one! So festive for the holidays! I would make a yummy cake or a HUGE batch of cookies. Thanks for the chance, Amanda!

  959. Krisha Arias

    I have a gathering of neices and nephews and friends kids at my house every year to make gingerbread houses. This would make mixing up the gingerbread so much faster and easier so my answer is gingerbread! I’m so excited the Holidays are here!

  960. Celenia

    I would make my famous (at least among my friends) 3 layer Strawberry Rum Cake. :)

    This would make my life so much easier because my little hand mixer isn’t quite cutting it anymore with all the baking Ive been doing.

  961. Sylvia Roberts

    OMG! that is the most beautiful mixer I’ve ever seen!!
    First thing I would make with it would be pumpkin bread….just in time for the holidays!!!

  962. Lynisha

    Oh my… 7 quarts of glorious kitchen aid!!!

    The first thing I would make is a big batch of bread & dinner rolls in preparation of a house full of family all Thanksgiving weekend!
    Then it would serve me WELL for my cake decorating business/hobby!

  963. Trish Hook

    I would make a big ole batch of my ooey,gooey double chunk chocolate chip cookies!

    Another great giveaway….thanks Amanda, you rock :-)

  964. Simply Sarah

    I would LOVE LOVE LOVE any of those three colors…I think I might would branch out and want red!
    The very first thing I’d make in it would probably be some type of chocolate cake. I REALLYYYYYYYYYYYYY want some chocolate right now! :) Thanks for the chance!

  965. Gail

    The first thing I’d make is a family recipe for homemade cinnamon rolls. My mother use to mix it all by hand but I’m sure this new Kitchenaid would make it effortlessly!

  966. Managed Chaos

    I have serious mixer envy (my one and only handmixer from my wedding 18 yrs ago is ready to bite the dust). I’d make classic chocolate chip cookie. Just like my mom used to make.

  967. Debra

    Well……first, I would choose the candy apple red mixer…….then……I would “MAKE” all my friends “GREEN” with envy!!! 8-)

  968. Barb

    Oh my goodness. How much fun to be had with this piece of equipment! I would make a huge batch of whatever cookies the kids want :D

  969. Val Lewis

    I would make the biggest batch of cookies with choc chips, nuts, coconut, oatmeal, etc. You know, the ones that you can’t stir with a hand mixer! Mmmmm. And then I’d take a picture of them. :)

  970. Joy

    I would make homemade rolls in the RED mixer.
    The bowl in my trusty, almost 30 yr. old Kitchen Aid is just too small & the dough oozes out.

  971. Irene a/k/a Twist of Faith

    I would love to have this mixer. I have a disability with my hands and need surgery. This would help me out a lot. I would be able to make many of things with little use of the hands. Had spinal surgery and have ulnar nerve entrapment. Life is not like it use to be. This would be wonderful to make my Anniversary Cake for Thanksgiving or even help with my Turkey Stuffing.

  972. Nancy

    Love the look of the mixer!!! Sleek!
    First I would make my annual pumpkin roll bread, then I would try to make cheesecake, oh and homemade cinnamon rolls, OH OH and can you imagine the cookies you could make with it…OH OH Oh..its endless!!! Thanks for offering it!

  973. Jessica

    I’d leave it in the box and give it to my dear friend Kelly who is getting married in a few months! But I bet she would make cupcakes first. :)

  974. Alvina

    I would probably start with cookies and then move onto one of those recipes I always skip over cause it requires too much mixing by hands. :]

  975. Rachael

    WOW! I would love to have a new KitchenAid Mixer. I love the look of the red one! I would use it for canning, baking and bread dough. I guess my first recipe in it would probably be some Christmas cookies!!!

  976. Olivia

    Why a cake of course! I make cakes from home and I would LOVE to 1. have another kitchenaid, and 2. most importantly, I would love a bigger bowl! I have the 4.5 qt one now, so this would help me tons in making large batches of buttercream. Maybe having a bigger bowl will help me keep the powdered sugar off the kitchen floor and all over the counters:)

  977. Kayla

    Happy Veterans Day! I think that I would try making homemade yeast rolls for Thanksgiving! And then definitely a dessert! Maybe a pie or I have been wanting to try and make the butterfinger cookies. Thanks for the opportunity!

  978. beatrice

    I would make snickerdoodle cupcakes! Can’t wait to start baking again after my exams. And if i had this lovely mixer, it would be the perfect way to celebrate the end of formal schooling!

  979. Brandi

    I would love to make an Italian Cream Cake from scratch with homemade Cream Cheese icing…my mouth is watering just thinking about it…..

  980. KarlaJ

    I have a new sugar cookie recipe I’ve been meaning to try. This would be the perfect opportunity to do so! That red is gorgeous!

  981. Dara E.

    Oh my…..I would love to have one!!! What a great giveaway…THANKS!
    I think I would make cookies…then bread, then I would have my husband clean it and make him something off his food wish list!

  982. Morgan B.

    With the holidays coming up, there are SO many recipes to make!! I recently found the most amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe, so I’d definitely have to make that. :)

  983. Sara Dunning

    Amaretto Cheesecake!!! I <3 the Red!! I have to say you've had AN AMAZING response to this post!!!!! :D

    Y'all have a delicious day now,
    Sara

  984. Lauren Ascher

    Good Ghandi she is such a beauty!!! The first of MANY things I would make in this would be my latest pumpkin dark chocolate chip giant cookies!

  985. Sarah

    I would make my grandmother’s m&m cookies. She passed away a couple of years ago and these cookies keep her close to my heart during the holidays.

  986. Susan

    What a great giveaway! This would be a great gift for my birthday next week! The first thing I would make would be frosting for a cake or cupcakes, my brother has a birthday a week later.

  987. Laura Schaaf

    Oh my, it would have to be something worthy of the tool :-) Homemade gingerbread and royal icing for our family gingerbread house building tradition :-)

  988. Tammy C

    I would absolutely make some Christmas cookies. And not just one batch at a time. With this much power and its size I could probably triple the recipe. A triple batch of spritz cookies would mean I would actually have some to give away. Thanks for the chance to win! Love your blog.

  989. Claire Snyder

    Wow, I think I would make the biggest batch of Xmas cookies ever.
    Take them to a Soup Kitchen and make people happy.

    Thanks
    Claire Snyder

  990. Susan

    The first thing I would make would be pumpkin bars topped with cream cheese frosting and pecans. Winning a mixer like this would be such a blessing! Thanks for this amazing offer!

  991. Katy Widrick

    Oh my goodness — the possibilities!

    I think I’d make an angel food cake. I’ve tried and tried, mixing by hand, but it just doesn’t get fluffy enough.

    A close second would be a big batch of cake balls. :)

  992. Marla

    LOVE this mixer! I would start off by making some yummy cheesecakes to share with family & friends this Christmas!!

  993. Amy

    Awesome giveaway – I have always wanted a Kitchenaid mixer! So many things to make with this…..think I would start with some banana bread and my pumpkin crunch receipes!

  994. Becca

    Oh this is gorgeous. I would make peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! Oh. I think I will do that today anyway just because they sound good… Awesome giveaway! Thanks!

  995. Chris Reddick

    come to coastal GA – Shellman Bluff to take some intercoastal shots and capture the love of living on the coast – you can stay with me!! love your e-mails and photos. hope to win the mixer so I can stir up something for you!!! authentic coastal cuisine!!!

    Chris

  996. Andrea

    Oh my. My heart just skipped a beat seeing her in all her beauty. How pretty in red!

    I would make an assortment of cookies and bars for my family when they come to visit me in DC in a few weeks so we would have snacks for our adventures around the city!

  997. Allison

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    I would make your chocolate cupcake creations. Like that chocolate one with the brownie inside it and the frosting that uses like five sticks o’ butter?

    Oh yeah, THAT one. :)

  998. marj

    Oh, how I would love a Kitchenaid mixer. And I would make bread. I love home made bread and with this mixer I could make it all the time.

  999. Stacy K

    This week I saw Martha Stewart with this and fell in love! Definitely bread will be the first thing I make. Then pasta!!

  1000. Michelle Drueppel

    This is so on my Amazon wish list right now!! I would make pumpkin cream cheese muffins. I love pumpkin and fall puts me in the mood for it.

  1001. Kimberli

    I would make my mom’s recipe for yummy Christmas sugar cookies with homemade buttercream frosting, so I can decorate them with my 3 yr old little boy, he loves to help mama bake! Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful mixer!!

  1002. Sarah E.

    I’d make almond flour spice cake muffins with vanilla frosting! I’ve been dreaming of a KitchenAid mixer for years!

  1003. Lori G

    With the holidays coming up, I always make Fanny Farmer Fudge. (Fanny Farmer — now that’s a blast from the past!)

    This is no quick-and-easy marshmallow creme and chocolate chips kind of fudge! It’s the “butter, sugar, cream, chocolate, cooked with a candy thermometer and then beat with a mixer for a full 30 minutes kinda fudge!”

    Every year I stand there for what feels like an eternity, beating my fudge with my hand mixer (who knew a half-hour could feel so L-O-N-G?!). If I am lucky enough to win this gorgeous Kitchenaid mixer (red!) I could pour the ingredients in the super-roomy bowl, turn it on, and “Look Ma, no hands!”. 30 minutes later it would be a big bowl of ultra-creamy yumminess!

  1004. Jen Borba

    I would make a luscious pumpkin cheesecake and forget about my diet. Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway. Every kitchen should own a Kitchen Aid stand Mixer.
    Jen

  1005. Tali

    I’d make my favorite chocolate layer cake!

    This mixer is gorgeous. I got a red Kitchen Aid as a wedding gift from my mom and I use it almost daily. I love it. This would be a beautiful upgrade!

  1006. Jennifer Merkley

    Bread! my kitchenaid is dying and I will cry when it dies. It’s very well loved and used(at least 5 times a week) and I need it to survive. yeah, I need it. a new one would mean I could finally make all those recipes that don’t fit in my little one

  1007. Michele Brown

    Santa would really come to see me this year if I won this….and I’d make my great-grandmother’s Date Nute Cake that my family has been crazy about for years!!!
    YUM!!

  1008. Michelle

    The last month I have really started to want to learn how to bake and I know this would be PERFECT to get started! The first thing I would make would be some sort of cake from SCRATCH!! Probably some sort of chocolate cake!

  1009. Angie Robinson

    I would make lots and lots of Christmas cookies! I’ve collected so many new recipes from all of the fantastic bloggers I follow. This would support my new baking obsession!

  1010. Melinda

    If I win this amazing mixer, the first thing I would make would be my mom’s orange cranberry chocolate chip biscotti! DELICIOUS!!!

  1011. Lisa Christine Johnson

    Holy Moly! That is a beautiful KitchenAid! I would make sugar cookies in it first, and then maybe a banana bread! I would probably have to take a week off of work and just bake if I won! Thanks for the chance to win!

  1012. Get Off Your Butt and BAKE!

    I’VE ALSO BEEN DREAMING ABOUT A LARGER CAPACITY MIXER! I WOULD MAKE A TRIPLE BATCH OF “ORANGE ROLLS TO DIE FOR!”
    Jonna

  1013. Aubri D

    I would use it for bake anything sweet… probably the first thing my husband requests :) But chocolate chip cookies are always a staple in our house!

  1014. Tera

    What wouldn’t I make! I would begin with a batch of chocolate chip cookies so my kids could enjoy those as I start making more goodies!

  1015. Lisa

    Oh my goodness, how do we manage to drool over a giant piece of metal? Beautiful!! I’d learn how to make bread – this baby inspires all kinds of new cooking projects. I love to bake, but have never attempted bread. Bet this mixer would help me…bigtime!

  1016. Leslie Traynham

    OMG, I have ALWAYS wanted a stand mixer, I love to bake, but unfortunately I always seem to do the biggest NO-NO in baking and overmix my batter, so while my intentions are good with baking my results sometimes are not. If I won this mixer the first thing I would make are my grandma’s sugar cookie recipe. Man how I love them she would make them all the time at christmas and then let us decorate, I would love to try my hand at those, my past attempts were not much to write home about, but maybe with the correct tools I would have better results! Fingers crossed on the 11-11-11 that I will be the lucky winner!

  1017. Karen Wolfe

    The first thing I’d make is bagels! I have been wanting to make bread for a long time but with only a small hand-held mixer, it’s impossible to beat up anything that is heavy or thick. I’m so excited about this giveaway!! Hope I win – though I will add I am quite unlucky when it comes to giveaways, door prizes, or awards! LOL I never, or rarely win anything! LOL – Karen

  1018. Katie

    With my new kitchenaid, I would make NY Times chocolate chip cookies, because I haven’t tried them yet, and chocolate chip cookies are my kryptonite!!

  1019. Jennifer

    I am planning on making a carrot cake for Thanksgiving. I don’t have a stand mixer and my hand mixer broke this week.

  1020. ~Kim

    Seriously?!?! Oh heavens!! I would make a triple batch of my famous chocolate chip cookies and invite all my friends over to meet this new beauty!! I hope I win, but if I don’t, I may have to see if Santa will bring me one! :)
    ~Kim

  1021. Charanne

    My family goes crazy over homemade marshmallows and cupcakes! With such a big mixer we could make enough treats to fill up the teenage boys bellys that seem to be so bottomless!

  1022. Jessica T.

    The first thing I would make in my new Kitchenaid would be the Groom’s cake for my fiance and I’s wedding!

  1023. Jessica

    Ohhhh, Pretty!!
    I would love to add this to my kitchen!!
    I would start with cheesecake but my kids would screem for cupcakes first, and kids always win, so cupcakes it is!!! =)

  1024. Camille K.

    Thanks kevin & amanda for this awesome Kitchen Aid Giveaway! I’m actually not entering this giveaway for myself as I already own a Kitchen Aid (insert blissful smile!). I’m entering this to win one for my mother who’s had the same mixer for almost 30 years and I have enjoyed everything she’s ever used it for. Well, sadly it has finally died. : ( I imagine the first thing she’d use it for is my grandmother’s (she passed away 12/2002) recipe for Homemade Coconut Cake (that is seriously SO moist you have to eat it from a bowl with a spoon!). Thanks again and I pray my mom wins!! : )

  1025. rachel

    wow! your blog came up right after Heir To Blair in my google reader and she just posted a recipe for homeade whole wheat pizza dough that she makes in her mixer and i was like “mmmmm that sounds really good! i’ll have to try that!” and then, like magic, you are giving away a mixer! so i’ll say the first thing i would make is BA’s pizza dough! hoorah!

  1026. Jennifer

    Well, this may be bending the rules a little bit, but I would give this to my sister, who has wanted a stand mixer for years. So, TOGETHER the first thing we would make would probably be our favorite chocolate-chip cookies … and then, who knows?! I’m pretty sure it would be running all the time, though!

  1027. Jennifer M

    Frosting…… Our daughters birthday is coming up and I always make homemade frosting. It gets hard to stir after a while so I would use the machine for that.

  1028. Mindy S

    I read your blogs and always drool over the cupcakes that you post pictures of, so I’d definitely whip up a yummy batch of cupcakes.

  1029. Andrea F

    I would actually give this to my mom, but I’m sure the first thing she would make is a chocolate cake for my dad.

  1030. Jessica

    I would make a double batch of cookies that can’t fit in my Kitchen Aid Classic, and then I would pass my Classic on to my mother in law, who has never owned a stand mixer!

  1031. Brenda

    You are SO right, it is majorly drool worthy! lol I have coveted one of these works of art for my kitchen now for at least a good 10 years. So, choosing just one thing to make…wow, harder than I imagined it would be. My very first thought is about making some bread. I’ve never owned a mixer that could stand up to that task! Some honey oat bread would be delish! Or maybe some of those amazing cupcakes you rave about? Hmm…decisions, decisions! Thank you for the opportunity & keep up the great work, I’m so living vicariously through you! :)

  1032. K. Cassidy

    I would make tea rings for the holidays! It is a wonderful pastry filled with a cinnamon cream cheese mixture and drizzled with a powdered sugar glaze—yummy! This mixer would definitely help to make quick work of the both the dough and the filling! :-)

  1033. Julie Patton

    I would make my very favorite scone recipe handed down from my sweetest
    grandma in the whole world.. lemon blueberry scones. They are so moist and
    delicious and when I eat them I think of her. Thank you so much . :)

  1034. Joy E.

    I have just begun my (self taught) education of cooking & baking with all healthy ingredients. I’m a newbie at this so I would love to start out by baking a loaf of healthy wheat bread made from wheat I grind myself. I would have a great advantage if I used this beautiful mixer to make it! What could possibly go wrong? Thank you!

  1035. Mary Gyuriseck

    Definitely X-mas cookies for my 4 wonderful children and 7 awesome grandchildren. I make every year 100 dozen cookies, and stirring the dry ingredients in by hand gets harder and harder to do every year.

  1036. Elizabeth

    oh my! I’ve been wanting one of these for awhile now! Would definitly bake anything and everything I could think of :)

  1037. Liz

    Hi! I would use this Kitchen Aid just in time for the holidays! I would love to make a Coconut Cake that is an old family recipe:) Thanks!

    PS I love your website! especially your weight loss story:) I am on a quest to lose 30lbs baby weight and I know I can do it.

  1038. Christina

    I’d make my one-day-to-be-famous Thanksgiving dinner rolls! (I make a ton and it would be so much easier with this!). Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  1039. Carrie Joy

    DOUBLED batches of Christmas Cheer,
    To share with others, far and near–
    That’s what I would whip in here!!!

  1040. Mandy

    The first thing I would make in this new KitchenAid mixer would be “the best chocolate chip cookie recipe” ever courtesy my family friend Annette!!!

  1041. Kelley Howe

    I would LOVE to win this!! I’d make my. Grandmas famous chocolate chip pumpkin cookies with my 3 kids helping me. I’m sure it would be so much easier with this :) thanks!!!

  1042. KellyRae

    I would make my famous buckeyes and truffles in this marvelous mixer. I usually have to break up my batches but the 7 quart would definitely handle all my delicious holiday goodies. Thanks for the chance to win!

  1043. CK Rutledge

    I would actually give it to my literacy student who makes cakes –wedding, birthday, baptism, etc.— as she only has a small, not very powerful, mixer. And it’s a safe bet SHE would be making another gorgeous cake! This would make her life a bit easier. I know how wonderful these KitchenAids are as I have an older one myself. Still works like a charm of course.

  1044. Marilyn

    I would attach my grinder and make a huge batch of Swiss sausage, Rauchwurst. Then a huge batch of po’ boy buns, and most definitely chocolate chip cookies! Oh, and I’d like the silver one.

  1045. Paula

    What’s a Kitchenaid? Ha, ha, ha. Just kidding. I would make the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe because it’s my favorite.

  1046. Nicole B

    I have been wanting this mixer forever!! I would make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! Thanks for the chance to win!!!

  1047. megan @ whatmegansmaking

    I would make a double loaf of bread, since all that dough can’t fit in my current kitchenaid :) Love this giveaway!

  1048. Shannon Taylor

    Wowzer!!! This mixer would be amazing to have and an absolute blessing to win. What would I make?? What wouldn’t I make? But I would start out by making chocolate cupcakes with homemade peppermint frosting. Then I would make mini cheesecakes. Than I’d move on to turtle brownies. Then a pumpkin roll. Chocolate chip banana bread. The list goes on and on. I have a huge family and I always give baked goodies wrapped up in pretty packages as my gifts. It’s fun baking and is also very wallet friendly.

  1049. Kathie

    It would have to be sweet potato casserole and a red velvet cake for Thanksgiving! What a great giveaway, Thanks!!

  1050. Geneva Cortez

    My Mom’s Tea Cookies. Mom is 82 years old and have been making them for over fifty years, no one can make them like her. She makes large batches of 30 dozens all for family and friends! Two years ago I realilized I had to learn how to make them while she can still show me how cause we will sure miss these cookies! I’m only making small batches of 10 dozens at a time but this Kitchen Aid mixer would sure come in handy when I can make large batches like Mom makes, so I too can give to My family and friends! Thanks Geneva

  1051. Amber M.

    I am attempting to hone my baking skills. The first thing that I would make with this gorgeous mixer are Red Velvet Sugar Cookies with Powdered Sugar on top! They are my favorite and I reserve them for only once a year but in this case I’d make the sacrifice!
    Thanks!

  1052. Lynsey

    I think I would have to make my kids favorite oatmeal chocolate chip craisin cookies with my two assistant bakers (ages 6 & 3!)….a little messy but a lot of fun! A cream cheese pumpkin poundcake would be recipe #2!!

  1053. Maria

    The red Kitchenaid would fit perfect in my kitchen! Beautiful! I would love to make cookies, bread and whatever else I can in the kitchenaid! My mother in law and sister in law have one and they make great goodies!!
    Thank you Amanda and Kitchenaid!!

  1054. Jacqui

    The first thing I would make with it would be CUPCAKES!! Not sure which kind since I am in love with any/every cupcake flavor haha but it definitely would be cupcakes!

  1055. Ann

    Hmmm, so many choices. I’d pick my favorite cookie Peanut Butter Kisses. It always brings back good memories of baking with our neighbor Mrs. Reames when I was little.

  1056. Sweet Simplicity

    Chocolate chip cookies!! We just moved and I haven’t had the chance to really cook/bake yet and I’m craving cc cookies!

  1057. Lauren

    Well, I actually already have a KitchenAid (and love it!), so I would definitely want to give this to my sister-in-law for Christmas. She and her husband just bought a new house, and as much as she’d love a KitchenAid, they just can’t afford it right now. This would be the best gift ever for her!

  1058. Samantha D

    I would make your Brownie Batter Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes :) I made them once before and this would make it so much easier!!!!

  1059. Alison

    She is definitely a beauty. Would look awesome on my counter top!
    A batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies (absolutely no box allowed) would be my first thing. Would remind me of Mom.

  1060. Ann

    Oooh, so many options…. I’d probably break out my Martha Stewart cookie cookbook and make something out of there!

  1061. Kim

    That new mixer is awesome! I think the first thing I would make with it would be this delicious Almond Joy Cupcake recipe that I have been dying to try out! There is nothing better than a decadent devil’s food cupcake and a yummy coconut frosting!

  1062. Elizabeth

    I would make soft pretzels! I LOVE sweets, but am dying to try these pretzels again with a stand mixer–yum!

  1063. Jenna Allen

    Omgoodness this mixer is a dream come true! If I won, I would make a delicious carrot cake for Thanksgiving! Ooooh, or maybe I’ll make your wonderful macarons! ;)

    Thanks for the chance to win Amanda! :)

  1064. Yvonne

    I would so totally break that baby in making all kinds of cookies with the girls! We could have so much fun. You have a couple of great cookie recipies I’d love to try and I’d also raid the Picky Palate’s recipes, too. Love your blog!

  1065. amy b.

    I would make Christmas cookies with my daughter. I used to have a Kitchenaid mixer and LOVED it but sadly, my ex-husband kept. I would be thrilled to get a new one!

  1066. Carrie

    I would make all the tastey treats on your site! Starting with The Best Chocolate Cake Ever… Then I would move onto a Pumpkin Poundcake! Yummy!!!

  1067. Myra

    Oooohhh….how I would love a red one of these to make my mom’s famous pound cakes for Christmas gifts this year!

  1068. Kimberly

    My daughter would make a Peanut Butter Fudge Cheesecake, delicious!!! She has been dreaming of a kitchenaid for quite some time now. She loves baking and making delicious cheesecakes for everyone to enjoy and it’s much harder with just a regular mixer. This would just make her day if we won!!!

  1069. Jenessa

    I would LOVE to learn how to make my Mother’s divinity!!! She always makes it for the holiday’s and I would love to be able to continue that tradition!!!!

  1070. Chrissy

    I would love a Kitchenaid Mixer!!!! I have an old fashion hand mixer….lol I would make Peanut Butter cookies that was my grandma’s recipe that my mom had of hers. Then I would actually probably BAKE & MIX ALL DAY LONG!!! Exciting!!

  1071. Ashley Cooper

    I would love to with this mixer! I think the first thing I would make is cupcakes but with so many different options I just might have to make a few different kinds. Thanks for the chance at this giveaway.

  1072. Nikki

    I would make a chocolate chip cookie recipe that is touted by the New York Times as the best cookie recipe out there. There’s lots of whipping involved and this would make that job so much easier!! :)

  1073. Kari Donahue

    The first thing I would make is my famous “death” cake. A delicious combination of rich chocolate, creamy caramel, nutty Snicker chunks, topped with delightful whipped cream. People just die for it.

  1074. julie berry

    I’m in my fifties and although I given a few kitchenaids as wedding gifts I’ve never bought one for myself. I would make fast easy bread – cinnamon rolls.

  1075. Trina

    I’ve never had a Kitchenaid mixer but I’ve always wanted one. Honestly, whipped cream is the first thing I’d make because I’d love to know what it’s like to not splash heavy cream all over yourself when you use a hand mixer and bowl. :)

  1076. Wendy

    Four loaves of bread, which is double the amount that my current mixer can handle. This bread will almost immediately be gobbled up by three growing boys and their friends.

  1077. The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh

    Oh my, that is stunning!

    Hmm, I would make Sprinkles Dark Chocolate Buttercream frosting because I’m cool like dat! :-)

  1078. Maria

    Wow, what a fabulous giveaway prize!! I’d probably start by baking dozens of Christmas cookies! I might never leave my kitchen if I won!

    Thank you!

  1079. Lori

    Holy Hannah! I have wanted a kitchenaid mixer FOREVER! Since my birthday is on Sunday, the day this contest ends I think I might have a good chance. As soon as I get the mixer I’ll be making a double batch of CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES with my daughter who shares my birthday month. Keep the giveaways going! Love your blog too.

  1080. Renee Valentine

    The first thing I would make are my amazing Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies. Or my Snickerdoodles. Those are my favorites so it’s tough to choose between them!

  1081. Michael Pitre

    I’d make my fabulous “Crunchy Carmel, Pecan, Apple Pie” The mixer will be so proud to be used for such a wonderful pie. It’s to Die For!

  1082. Amanda

    Good ‘ole chocolate chip cookies! Then I KNOW I wouldn’t be able to resist making other variations. Gotta try and upstep my new mother-in-law! She is the best baker!

  1083. Heather

    My kids have been asking for homemade cinnamon rolls, so that is what I’d make first!! I’ve been wanting one of these forever!! Thanks for the opportunity, Amanda!

  1084. Kari Donahue

    Most likely my “death” cake, a delicious combination of rich chocolate, creamy caramel, nutty Snickers, topped with light whipped cream. People just die for it.

  1085. Katie D.

    I would make pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes (separately of course) and maybe some chocolate chip cookie dough in a triple batch since this mixer could TOTALLY handle it!!

  1086. Martha

    What a great giveaway!! Love the color red and the first thing I will bake will be chocolate ganache cupckes! It’s a Ina G. recipe that calls for a stand up recipe with I don’t have, but I will one day.

  1087. Sarah

    Honestly….. I’d shred chicken. It’s a tip I found on Pinterest that I use at LEAST once a week.

    As far as baking goes, I’d probably make an angel food cake… it’s my husband’s favorite and he deserves a cake for the way he has been treating me lately.

  1088. T.

    What a beautiful mixer, and in candy apple red! WOW! I would make pumpkin spice cookies with butter cream frosting…my small child has been asking for them for weeks!!! Thank you, K&A, for this wonderful giveaway.

  1089. Lori C

    I make about a gazillion cookies each month for the local men’s shelter. Owning one of these babies would make it SO much easier. Thanks for the chance!

  1090. Hannah R

    This mixer is gor-geous! I’d start out making some homemade mashed potatoes because I’ve been craving them!! :)

  1091. Carla Minton

    Wow!! I have been wanting this mixer!! How georgeous is this?!?! I would definitely have to make the Pumpkin Cake Roll, if I get in time for Thanksgiving. If not in time for Thanksgiving, then I’ll just make it because…. = )

  1092. Marie in Va

    Wow! What an awesome giveaway!! So many things to bake! It would have to be my pumpkin bread recipe –need to send a care package to my son away at college :)

  1093. Julie

    I would make my mom’s recipe for cheese stolen. I have never made it before so if I had a mixer like that I would have to make something special for my first dessert. It is so yummy! :)

  1094. Blaire Cannon

    I would definitely make a triple layer chocolate cake for my mom who just had surgery. Chocolate makes EVERYTHING feel better!!!!!

  1095. Lourdes Fay

    I have always wanted one of these to make bread dough. The first thing I would make is cinnamon rolls for my husband!! Then it would be used for Thanksgiving dinner!!

  1096. kellie

    I have been dying to make some organic dog treats for my mini schnauzer Minnie! Then I would bake Christmas cookies like crazy :)

  1097. Amy

    A kitchenaid mixer is on MY Xmas list this year! I’ve wanted one for 3+ years. I’d make spritz cookies. In fact, I’m writing those ingredients on my grocery list right now!

  1098. Cathy

  1099. Kim

    I would make EVERYTHING!!!

    Seriously… I would probably make cookies… With the holidays coming up, it would be put to good use.

  1100. AnnMarie Psybylski

    ooohhh, the first thing I would make is a batch of my twin sons’ favorite cookies–and of course we would all be making them together as my boys love to bake and cook. little chef hats, aprons and a shiny new kitchen aid mixer with snickerdoodles and mint chocolate chip cookies being mixed the very first day it hit our doorstep. gosh, how much fun would that be? thank you for a chance to win.
    stay well,
    annmarie

  1101. Sheila

    I would make Mrs Fields Choc Chip cookies for all the teachers at our school – LOTS of those to make for the holidays!

  1102. Penny Hall

    This is the mixer that any TRUE RED ALABAMIAN would love to have in the the RED for their kitchen if not only but to make anad bake a RED VELVET cake for a hungry pack of BAMA fans!I am the person to make that cake come true with one of these for sure!
    Roll Tide!

    Thanksgiving dinner! Particularly my desserts: pumpkin cheesecake, apple galette, and mini molten lava cakes.

    Thank to K&A and KitchenAid (ha! matching acronyms) for this awesome giveaway!

  1105. Susan

    I would make my grandmother’s chocolate icing receipe that is just heaven in a bowl. She never used a mixer to make it. She used a sieve to get rid of the powered sugar lumps. Thanks for the chance to win. P.S. Love the red.

  1106. Rhonda R.

    I would whip up a batch of spice cookies. My 5 qt. Kitchen Aid just flew apart 2 days ago – just in time for the Holidays!!

  1107. Holly O.

    This is definitely a great giveaway and something I need soooooooooo bad!!! I’d make a classic chocolate cake… you can never go wrong chocolate cake!!

  1108. Stephanie Holdaway

    Bread! My family of 7 loves homemade bread but my current kitchen aid is too small to handle the batch I make so I end up using a neighbor’s bosch. I would love a new, bigger kitchen aid!!

  1109. jules p

    THe first thing I would make would be my friend’s french bread recipe. I have always wanted to make it…but my mixer could not handle mixing it.

  1110. Joan Pratt

    Pumpkin pie & homemade cinnamon spiced whipped creme for the topping. I LOVE the red color. I have always wanted a Kitchen Aid!

  1111. Robin Chiang

    With my new Kitchenaid mixer, I would make my Mom’s Southern Surprise Chocolate Cake with surprise homemade cream in the middle of chocolate cake and fudge frosting. Yum!

  1112. Brenna M. Graham

    The first thing that I would make is one of my coveted pound cakes. They continuously burn out my hand mixers.

  1113. Jennifer Hutchinson

    I have recently created a Bucket List and one of the items on the list is ‘Teaching my girls how to make wontons”. It is a Christmas tradition, the ladies sit around filling and folding little nurses hats into what will soon be fried and simply the best wontons ever! My mother has always had the job of preparing the meat filling, because she has an old Kitchenaid from 15 years ago. (I have requested it in the will ;) This mixer is so durable and verstile, I have always wanted one. Never knowing that the amazing Kitchenaid team was creating an improved edition, what a thrill! The Red 7-qt is a true beauty, she would look wonderful mixing up our family traditions!

  1114. Jennifer Horton

    Teach my five year old Jacob how to make his Great Grandmothers pie crust and the most delicious dutch apple pie ever to graze your lips.

  1115. Betsy

    Bread, for sure. I have a hard time mixing an entire batch in my current mixer and would love to have a KitchenAid. :)

  1116. Karen @ Goofy Can Cook

    I saw the DC Cupcakes gals making maple chocolate chip cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting. I cannot stop thinking about them!

  1117. Bonnie McDonald

    I would make a memory! My grandmother that died over 40 years ago would bring my favorite cake I the world when she would come for Christmas each year. It was called Jam Cake. She would always take a bus to visit and I remember when she would arrive she would unpack this delicious cake that she painstaking cut into bars and wrapped in aluminum foil and had carried in her bag on the long bus ride to visit. I have not had this cake but once or twice since she died and I just lost my mom in April and found the wonderful recipe in her box.

  1118. Tiffini Crown

    I would love to make Amish Cinnamon bread! I make a ton of it over the holidays and this would make it soooo much easier to make large batches!

  1119. Michelle

    I would make my grandmother’s recipe for sour cream cookies…yum! it would be such a wonderful gift to bring back my memoris of us making cookies together.

  1120. Jessica

    snickers cupcakes! my family looooves these :-) thanks for another amazing giveaway, I was just saying I needed to get a stand mixer

  1121. Angela Howell

    I would have to try the macaron recipe that you posted. I just love this mixer and have talked about it almost daily since seeing it on PickyPalate.

  1122. wendy

    The first thing I would make with this beautiful device would be……cookies, no a cake, no bread, wait….wait… ummmmm all of the above!!!!

  1123. maureen

    I would make fondant for my cream candies for Christmas. I wouldn’t have to beat them by hand till my arm fell off or till it sends me into a hot flash. That is usually when I have achieved the right consistency.

  1124. Jules

    I have always wanted a mixer like this. I would love to have one of these in red!!! First I would make Christmas cookies!!!! Then I would make some doggie biscuits for my pups!!!

  1125. Hamco Design

    Ooooh, that sure is a pretty machine! It would look awesome in my mid-century kitchen! :) I would try to make a Sander’s Caramel Cake!!!

  1126. Danielle

    I would give this to my mom, who has wanted a Kitchenaid mixer for years. I hope she would make me some of her awesome girdlebuster bars as a thank you!

  1127. Carrie G.

    Oooh, pick me! :-) pick me! :-) The red one is beautiful! I would love a new one to make pizza dough, cookies and banana nut bread. Yummo!!!!

  1128. Jason

    I have been wanting one of these mixers for years–though this one is the mega-type! I think we just might make some homemade pizza dough and pizza on the very first try.

  1129. Laurie Vesper

    I have never owned a stand up mixer, but recently I made some chocolate chip bar cookies and my hand held mixer broke, so I am in need of something! With the holidays approaching, I would probably use the mixer to make cookies and breads. I love to bake!

  1130. Brenna

    The first thing I would make is snowman cookies! I believe it’s a Tupperware recipe- my sister and I have been making them with my mom every holiday season as far back as I can remember. But they are almost impossible to mix without a great mixer (and what a beauty this one is).

  1131. amanda @ fake ginger

    Marshmallows! They’re tough to do without a stand mixer – the whole pouring boiling sugar into a bowl while running the hand mixer is not as easy as it sounds. ;)

  1132. Teresa C.

    I have been wanting a stand mixer for so long! I would make homemade yeast rolls with the stand mixer. I stay away from bread recipes because I am scared I won’t be able to make them with just my electric hand mixer. Thanks!!

  1133. Shelli M.

    Oh, I would love to make a gluten free cake for my sister!!!! I have been cooking meals for her, yet, have not baked anything!!!!! Yummmmmm!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!

  1134. Brooke

    OMG! I must win this!!! I would probably make some yummy cookies for Christmas (chocolate chip oatmeal maybe?) OR I might make my favorite… red velvet cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! YUM

  1135. Natalie Booher

    I have this dream of being able to be a stay at home mom by having my own little cupcake/cake business out of my home. I have been dreaming of a Kitchen Aid for years! I’d definitely be making up new recipes for my “shop”… At this moment, I think making a cupcake that tasted like a java chip frappucino would be the first thing I would try! I can’t guarantee that I wouldn’t get a better idea before then… ;) thanks for making one of your readers a very lucky person!!!

  1136. Rhadonda

    First i would give my then smaller older mixer to my sister who has very little. And then i would make chocolate chip cookies for my girls coming home from college for the holidays. Thanks so much.

  1137. Shelli M.

    Oh, I would love to make a gluten free cake for my sister!!!! I have been cooking meals for her, yet, have not baked anything!!!!! Yummmmmm!!!! Thank you!!!!

  1138. Alice S.

    I would start my Christmas baking, first off with my favorite frosted lemon cookies! I will be attending a Christmas cookie exchange so I need to make a lot of cookies. Using the new mixer would help tremendously!

    Love your blog!!!!

  1139. Michele S.

    I would make my favorite comfort food…..My grandma’s homemade white bread. Great memories of that awesome smell when you would walk into her house!

  1140. Lindsay Turpin

    I would use it to make frostings. Making buttercream icing is really hard without a mixer like this! I actually asked for a smaller one for Christmas, but would LOVE to have this instead!!

  1141. TrishS

    I’d make a huge batch of divinity!!! I haven’t had it in a long time and the mixing part was what always killed me. :) So I would love to have one to make another batch!! Or a bunch! :D

  1142. Leslie

    When I was 16 …. 44 years ago…. I won first place in a cheesecake contest, vanilla and chocolate layered with a courcream topping …. I think it would only be fit to make my prize winning cheesecake in a red KitchenAide mixer!

  1143. Ruth

    Oh swoon!! My immediate thoughts went to making a batch of cinnamon rolls, and that thought was before I read what our comment had to be about:) Yep, happy hubby, happy kiddos, happy mama….come my way Kitchen-Aid:)

  1144. Jeannette P

    I would totally make my grandma’s whole wheat bread recipe (and muldunes). I’ve made it before by hand but can’t seem to find the time or energy being 18 weeks pregnant & having a husband that is working many long hours for the next 2 months & 3 kids to take care of that miss daddy so much. Plus, I’m dying to have delicious bread & muldunes.

  1145. Misty

    OMG!!! I would make my mothers cream cheese and green chile enchiladas!! It is my birthday so this would be a splendid B-day gift!!!

  1146. Kristin Thomas

    I would make a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies – And send them to my sons. 1 in Dental School Arizona and 1 in college Winona MN

  1147. Debi

    I LOVE this…. I have been wanting to buy one of these so this would be awesome to win… I would have to have a black one…..BEAUTIFUL right on my counter… Just in time for my CHRISTMAS cookies….. (potato chip crunchies -YUM
    Thanks so much for the chance to win this….

    Aimee @
    justkiddingaroundatlanta

  1149. Linda

  1150. Kendra

    I would make a triple batch of cookie dough just to make sure it can handle it! Love my Kitchenaid but would love the 7 quart one in red!

  1151. Amy

    First, I would give it to my mom for Christmas (she has wanted one all her life). She would make her homemade fudge!!!!

  1152. Sara Brooks

    The first thing I would make with my new mixer is a birthday cake for my Dad/a Thanksgiving cake since his birthday falls on turkey day this year and I’m so thankful to have such an awesome Dad.

  1153. Tracie

    I would make my favorite mashed potato casserole. I make it every year for Thanksgiving. Right now I just have a hand mixer and my arm gets tired of holding the mixer. This would be a great asset to my kitchen. Thanks so much for the chance to win this beauty.

  1154. Candi Babcock

    First of all…I would donate the mixer to my church. We held our 38th annual UMW Fall Bazaar this past weekend and we baked 35 cakes over the course of two days – using two mixers that are probably as old as I am… :-)! (We had an eight-year old boy in the kitchen working with us who earned two cub-scout patches…he was a great trooper!)

    I would gather the UMW ladies and we’d make more cakes (and other goodies) for our upcoming Christmas Dinner! http://www.SunnySideUnitedMethodistChurch.org

  1155. Terri C.

    Hi Amanda! Oh my, I would so love to have one of these KA mixers! The first thing I’d make would be a double batch of Snickerdoodles! My hubby loves Snickerdoodles, but the dough is tough to mix with a hand mixer, especially a double batch! This mixer would make it a breeze! Dreaming, wishing, hoping…

    Terri

  1156. Jessica B

    Oh what a great giveaway!! I would go with the silver to match the other appliances my kitchen. The very first thing I would made is a big batch of sugar cookies. I need to get a jump start on Christmas cookies. Thanks for the opportunity Amanda!

  1157. Stella

    Oh my goodness I would make this awesome lemon nut cookie recipe that Giada De Laurentis made the other day on her show and I would also make the brownie/chocolate chip bar that you shared your picture and recipe with us!

  1158. Jaada Hales

    The very first thing I’d make would be cinnamon rolls. That was the first thing I made when my brother gave me my first Kitchenaid mixer many years ago. Still using the same mixer – what an amazing product!

  1159. janet tobler

    i would make the dough for the homemade german noodles that i make called
    spaetzle. and i would make a yeast dough for another german roll baked in the fry pan called dampnudel. my granma used to make them and my daughter and husband love them.
    brings back alot of memories. thank you.

  1160. Jill

    Considering it’s coming up on the holiday season, I would probably make cookie dough in it. That, or pizza dough for dinner. :)

  1161. Wendy S

    I would make a *double* batch of multigrain bread! (And then I’d have to remodel the kitchen to find it somewhere to live.)

  1162. Helen Boivin

    The first thing I would make in my new Kitchen Aid Mixer is bread dough. Loaves…rolls…calzones…stromboli. I would be in 7th heaven.

  1163. Lisa B

    Meringue(spelled incorrectly in my first post…too early for me yet) cookies, I can’t seem to keep them in the house very long. Even the neighborhood kids know where to find them.

  1164. Melissa Stinson

    Wow!! Just think of all the cakes, candies, cupcakes, etc. that I could make with this!! Great giveaway. Thanks!

  1165. jada caniford

  1166. Kim

    I would definitely make cookies! This would be great to have for Christmas cookie baking! Thanks for the opportunity at a great giveaway!

  1167. Lisa B

    Merange cookies, I can’t seem to keep them in the house very long. Even the neighborhood kids know where to find them.

  1168. Meghan

    I have a list of recipe’s just waiting for a mixer like this one! I’d probably start out with some cookies…or bread…or no, definitely cookies!

  1169. Amanda L.

    As much as I would love to have that beauty sitting on my counter, I would definitely give it to my mom. She has a kitchen aid that she got for her wedding 25 years ago. I think it’s time she upgraded, but they’re expensive. And I know the first thing she would make is a yellow cake with chocolate icing like she does for everyone’s birthday.

  1170. Cerise

    Lots of Christmas baking would be going on that’s for sure! But as my first recipe I would get my great Auntie Claire’s chocolate cake recipe and whip it up.

  1171. Natalie V2

    Whoa… very generous!
    Many thanks for providing the fun… I would mix up some whipped cream to top our Thanksgiving pies!

  1172. CHERIE MISTRETTA

    I would make banana cherrio muffins, the recipe was on “The Chew” yesterday and looked really good and healthy!!

  1173. Kim Swenson

    Oh my gosh! Shiny and RED for the holidays! I would love to win this!! I need to get started on Christmas baking. Sugar cookies, poppyseed bread and cakes oh my.

  1174. Mandy

    Ooooh just in time for birthday cakes. I have two kids with birthdays coming up. I would whip up carrot cake for my baby girl and chocolate for my oldest…their favorites!

  1175. Amy

    I’m hosting my annual cookie exchange in a few weeks so the first thing I would make is cookies! Lots and lots of cookies! :-)

  1176. Jen Carney

    i would lug it to my mom’s house so she, my sister, & my cousin could make my grandma’s jubilee cookies.

  1177. Brooke

    I am currently separated & my husband took the Kitchenaid Mixer (which was his before we met). I had begun to love using it for a lot of various things. But, with Christmas coming up and my annual Christmas making tradition being cookie making with my son – I hate the thought of having to use a little hand mixer ! I’d also like to end up getting a pasta maker attachment to try my hand at making homemade pasta/ravioli (love Italian !). My first thing to make will likely be my first batch of Christmas cookies !! :)

  1178. Ivonne

    The first thing I’d make is a ginormous red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. The second thing I’d do is lovingly stare at my new mixer and squee like a schoolgirl :)

  1179. Julie White

    We have a long standing tradition with the children to bake CHRISTMAS cookies and I would make them with my grandchildren.

  1180. Lois Hartwell

    I would make a great big, double batch of dough for honey oatmeal bread! The regular size mixer just can’t handle it! What great timing for a give-away…….my mixer is on it’s last legs! Thanks for the chance……

  1181. Kayla Clark

    I would make pumpkin rolls to give away to all my friends and family. I may just keep one for my kids and husband:)

  1182. CindyML

    The first thing I would make in my new RED kitchen aid mixer would be Miss Julie’s decorated sugar cookies! Thanks for the chance to win. CindyML

  1183. Shannon A

    Chocolate chip cookies, definitely! And then bread… and then brownies… and then all sorts of other nom noms!

  1184. Samantha Chapman

    We’re a cookie family so I would definitely being making some of my special chocolate chip cookies! Great giveaway!

  1185. Meghan L.

    I would make many Christmas cookies. Also I would help my mom bake cookies for a bake sale she has and she has to have 17 dozen. I would also make homemade biscuits for my English bulldog because he loves them!!!

  1186. Jackie

    Cupcakes! Lots of them. My daughter and I love to bake and my hand mixer is on it’s last leg. Too much mixing up buttercream frosting, I think.

  1187. Lauren H.

    I would make bread! I’ve been petrified of attempting such a feat, but this mixer would give me the confidence I need!

  1188. Misty

    This is super beautiful! The red is so cheerful and bright. I am pretty sure that it I get this sweet baby I am going to be making some Sugar cookies to decorate with my nephews.

  1189. Marie LA

    My most requested to bring at potlucks: Red velvet cupcake with brown sugar frosting! It would be raining cupcakes should I get picked for this giveaway!

  1190. Karen Pelkey

    I would have to make Pulla. (Pulla is a scandinavian braided bread that is flavoured with cardimom) It’s my son’s very favourite thing in the whole wide world and he would eat it every day. I sooooo want one of these mixers. I’m crossing my fingers.

  1191. Charlotte Mercer

    Thanks for the chance to win! I think I would make cinnamon rolls first. Then I’d follow that up with bread and then sugar cookies. Perfect timing for this Give-away, too. Christmas cookies would be so awesome made in this mixer!

    Best wishes,
    Char

  1192. Maryrose

    I Would make my husband mad!! Lol! I’ve wanted one forever but he says we don’t have the counter space. Pish posh!! I’ll take the red one, too, to match my kitchen! :)

  1193. Miranda

    I love the beautiful, shiny red! Since my Christmas baking will start soon I would definitely make my grandmother’s famous sugar cookies. Each year I make tons of them using my grandma’s handwritten recipe card. Even though I know the recipe by heart, using the recipe card makes me feel close to her.

  1194. Tiffanee Noack

    Wow!! 7 quarts!! That’s alot of whatever you wanna make, so I would have to make several loaves of Pear Bread- fresh pears, brown sugar, walnuts.. So yummy just out of the over with real butter melted on top!!! Oh my!!

  1195. Regina H

    What would I make with that gorgeous Kitchenaid? With the holidays around the corner I will be making cookies, cakes, and cupcakes. LOTS OF THEM!

  1196. Vicki

    I would make my delicious jumbo chocolate chip cookies and fresh apple cake and some pumpkin bread and ……. :)

  1197. Jane

    Cinnamon rolls! I traditionally make cinnamon rolls on a school snow day–kids go outside and sled, then come back in for cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate. If I win, I’ll be all set for the first snow storm. (Whenever there’s snow in the forecast, my children sleep with their pj’s inside out and a spoon under their pillow as the surefire method to bring on a school snow day. Maybe I should do that in hopes of winning the mixer!)

  1198. Nathel Betzwiser

    I would love to have this mixer so that I can start making bread and rolls again. Especially my cinamon rolls for the holidays. I think the candy apple red color is beautiful.!!!!!!!!

  1199. Melissa

    I would bake my mom’s apple cake! It’s a family favorite and one that is requested often this time of year.

  1200. Kate aka stinkydudette

    Oh wow! In my fave color too – red! I’ve got big plans for this baby, but I would make Cinnamon Rolls! Hope I get picked – I have this in my Christmas wishlist.

  1201. Patti W

    The first thing I would make is homemade bread. My family loves it when I make it, but I hate the kneading. I would love to be able to just use a dough hook. And of course Christmas is coming and so I cookie baking. Thank for the opportunity to win such an amazing prize.

  1202. Nicole

    First off, THANK YOU to you and Kitchen Aid for this great giveaway! I just hope that Random.org picks me:)

    I would make cookies, cakes, brownies and icing. Something sweet and yummy for sure!!!

    Thanks again!

  1203. Kerry LeWarne

    I would love to make bread, real bread. Then, I would put it in the oven and it will make my whole house smell like “YUM!”

    Thanks!

  1204. LindsayL.

    I would first use it Thanksgiving to make an orange velvet cake! No red/white cakes for Iron Bowl weekend here :)

  1205. Ioana-Ionela Pascu

    So great! I would cook “a first” for sure… That baby needs to get me out of my comfort zone! So, maybe a rainbow cake?

  1206. Teresa kelman

    The entire Thanksgiving dinner would be prepared with the mixer! Traditional, of course, with mashed potatoes, pecan pie, yeasty rolls, with whipped butter….yummy.

  1207. Brandi Smith

    Wow! Oh how the red would match my Kitchen! I would love this mixer. I currently have just a handheld. The first thing I would make would be NewYork Times Best Chocolate Chip Cookies! I found the recipe on Pinterest & they look amazing:) they would make amazing Christmas gifts for teachers & neighbors. And with the mixer it would be easy to make large batches or multiple batches.

  1208. Pat

    If I win, it will be a Christmas gift for my 15 year old grandson. And I KNOW the first thing he would make is cupcakes or cake pops! He loves to cook and has wanted a Kitchenaid mixer forever! OK, he’s only 15, so his forever isn’t all that long – but he would LOVE this mixer!

  1209. Emily

    For dessert, white chocolate chip brownies; for dinner, rosemary focaccia; and every kind of pumpkin bread under the sun because I am drowning in pumpkin purée. Now I’m hungry.

  1210. Amanda Boerst

    I’d spend all day baking if I won this! Christmas cookies, cupcakes, cheesecake, buttercream frosting… Thank you for this amazing giveaway!

  1211. mandy

    Too funny, I was just saying yesterday how much I would love one. I would love to start making healthy homemade bread for my little one year old daughter.

  1212. Meghan L.

    I would totally make tons and tons of Christmas cookies. I would also make dog biscuits for my English bulldog. He loves homemade treats!!!!

  1213. Kathy Moran

    I would make your chocolate cake for thanksgiving. Your best ever no REALLY this is the best chocolate cake you EVER tasted. thanks for the chance to win this and i love your site…..

  1214. Courtney

    Well, my baker friend finally shared her secret sugar cookie recipe with me! I would LOVE to make some sugar cookies with my little ones! Maybe use my new Thanksgiving cookie cutters!! Good luck to me, I would love to win! :)

    Oh wait!! I just thought of something even more exciting! My family and I make Italian sausage rolls every Thanksgiving, but the bread is always too much trouble. We end up buying it from the local pizza shop. I could make the dough this year!! Brilliant!! Oh, I can’t wait! I’ll send you a homemade Italian sausage roll if I win!! ;)

  1215. sue

    I would make gingerbread cookies for the holiday season. The last time I tried to make them I burned out the motor of my mixer.

  1216. NANCY GRIFFIN

    I WOULD TRY TO MAKE SOME ICING TO CUT WITH MY NEW CRICUT CAKE MACHINE, THAT I HAVE NOT GOTTEN OUT OF THE BOX YET. THOSE SHEETS ARE $$$.
    THANKS FOR A CHANCE TO WIN.
    NANCY GRIFFIN

  1217. Madeline

    OMG HEAVENS!!!!! I would make a cake in your honour!!!! WOWZERS!!! DROP DEAD AMAZING (wow…what happened?? Never thought I would feel this way about a kitchen appliance)

  1218. Elizabeth

    The first thing I would make is cupcakes! I have a cookbook with recipes from Magnolia Bakery in NYC that I would love to try out :)

  1219. Heather Rhoads

    If I won this, I would use it to make our families traditional red velvet cake, and start making Christmas cookies with the help of my 1 1/2 year old. :)

  1220. Barbara G

    My mom is 88yrs old. And I would help her make one of her famous rum cakes. She still makes it the old way of having to use a hand mixer in a bowl and it is hard for her to hold mixer and bowl at same time since she had a slight stroke about two years ago. So she doesn’t make as many as she used to. This would give her the incentive to her to bake again.

  1221. Jan L.

    My this is a tough decision, most likely the cookie’s N’ cream cake again, Hmmmm, maybe my carrot cake with cream cheese icing.

  1222. kayleigh

    oh my goodness!!! amazing giveaway! i have always wanted a kitchen aid, and have thought lots about what i would make. pizza dough!!! i would love to not have to hand knead it.

  1223. Gail D.

    I would make my mother’s Sour Cream Pound Cake..wish I had a nickle for everyone I’ve made…I could buy my own new mixer!!!
    LOVE IT….hope Santa reads this!!!

  1224. Bonnie

    The first thing I would have to make is a red velvet cake with my mom’s slow cooked butter cream frosting. It’s been too long since I baked one of those beauties.

  1225. Sheryl

    I’ve been on a homemade bread kick lately, so the first thing I’d make would be a loaf of artesian bread or pizza crust. The dough hook on this sweet mixer would make the process oh so simple!

  1226. Analisa W.

    The first thing I’d make in my new Kitchenaid is whipping cream for a chocolate cream pie for my hubby. Then cupcakes for my kiddos. I LOVE the candy apple red! Thanks for offering another great giveaway!!

  1227. Roma Mott

    This gorgeous mixer and I would whip up some holiday cookies to be donated to the patients at the local Kalamazoo Cancer Center. They always need homemade goodies to cheer them up!

  1228. Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga

    I’d make cookies and I have been coveting a Kitchen Aid since…I was a little girl. I really really really would love one. This is such a great giveaway. Thanks for hosting it!

  1229. Diem

    SOOOO Beautiful! I’d just admire in on my counter for a while…then make a pumpkin roule with cream cheese filling…heavenly…

  1230. Kathy

    Do I ever want a Kitchenaid! I would try and make an entire meal with my new Kitchenaid–pizza dough for homemade pizza and almond cake for dessert.

  1231. Jan

    I think I would make yeast rolls for a holiday dinner. Then I would make our very favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Then I might make some banana nut bread or some pumpkin bread. And then, maybe, some poppy seed muffins. And then…

  1232. Krys Kolivras

    The first thing I would make in my new Kitchen Aid mixer is my favorite herbal bread recipe! Thanks for the opportunity!

  1233. Nina's Mom

    Given the time of year, this answers easy! I’d make Christmas cookies that we also give as gifts to our neighbors and work colleagues.

  1234. Chelsi

    Oh I would LOVE one of these!! I LOVE my Kitchen Aid, its my must have!! I would probably have to make a batch of homemade bread… ‘Flumpy’ bread… as my hubby calls it! :)

  1235. Mary B.

    I still use my mother’s original Kitchenaid mixmaster. It must be at least 50 years old (she has been gone nearly 20 years). It seems only fitting if I were to be fortunate enough to be the winner, to celebrate by making one of of my mother’s many favorite recipes. Thank you for the opportunity to submit my entry.

  1236. Debbie White

    Hi Amanda, first of all I love you blog.

    I would prepare my Thanksgiving dinner. And give thanks for all that I have been blessed with.

  1237. Michele

    Christmas cookies – cinnamon rolls – homemade bread – oh my I would be going crazy and my arm from old fashion bowl and wooden spoon style would be in heaven.

  1238. Jill Holmes

    The space in my kitchen is limited to make homemade goodies all the time, but with a Kitchen Aid, I would make homemade bread or rolls for my first recipe. How I miss baking, with a Kitchen Aid I could bake again for my family on a regular basis.

  1239. Sherrie

    If I win this gorgeous mixer, the first thing I will make is a huge batch of sugar cookies to decorate for Christmas. It would be so easy and fun with a huge mixer like this! Thank you for the opportunity, hope I get lucky! :)

  1240. Morgan M.

    I would probably bake all day long! I would start with breads and move onto cookies and cakes! Yum!!!!! Beautiful mixer!

  1241. lan

    I would love it in silver, this would be the perfect Xmas gift for my mom. First thing made would be her delicious French cake!

  1242. Wini

    I would love to make my eggnog kringla Christmas cookies. It is a very heavy dough and requires a very sturdy mixer to make it.
    Thank you for the chance.to win!
    Hugs, Wini

  1243. Kristi Kirk

    AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!! Hmmm, decisions… I think I would make Divinity. I love to bake too, but Divinity is hard on a regular mixer. This mixer would definitely make it. Thanks for the giveaway!

  1244. Vini aka Pooh!

    Oh please please pick me! I need one – in black shining in my kitchen. I have a long list of things I want to make. But top on it gulub jamun – Indian sweet dumplings – my granny’s recipe. Traditionally she used to hand knead the dough and it takes too long and I can barely do it. This would make my life so much easier and I would also love learning a family favorite recipe

  1245. Alta Dillon

    I need this mixer in my life. I am a busy full time Baking/Pastry Culinary student who would love this beautiful mixer in Red… Lol. I would make Louisiana Sweet Potato Whoopie Pies with Maple Marshmallow Cream Filling…YUMMMMMM

  1246. Melissa Trost

    I would make Christmas Cookies!! My mom and I do all of our baking in one weekend, and this would be so awesome to use for that :-) We make spritz, and sugar cookies, tea tassies, old fashioned brownies AND fudge!!

  1247. Sally

    I would make my mom’s cinnamon rolls. Mine never taste like hers and I think it’s because I don’t have a KitchenAid!

  1248. Rhonda

    What a great giveaway ! Just in time for the holidays! I would make up large batches of cookie dough for Christmas cookies.

  1249. Sally

    (What a beauty!) I’m waiting to see cranberries in the produce section, and then I’ll be ready to make some orange-cranberry bread. Yum-O!

  1250. Gretta

    Wow, the red one is beautiful! The first thing I would make with my new Kitchen Aid is Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. They are my kids favorites!

  1251. Kim Higginbotham

    I would make my Glazed Cherry Cream Cheese Stollen. It is recipe created by my sister based on a local bakery in her Missouri town. It has a wonderfully, soft white bread dough on the base, topped with a cream cheese mixture, topped with cherries, top with more soft white bread dough, and then glazed on the top! Better stop now! I’m getting hungry thinking about it!

  1252. Lori

    Well I have got to give this one a shot! I have wanted a red Kitchenaid for years!! And 7 quarts…wow!!

    I would make (probably boring to some) mashed potatoes! At a relative’s house we had the best mashed potatoes and she made them in her Kitchenaid!!

  1253. Jill Todd

    The first thing I would make with my new Kitchenaid mixer would be a big batch of my mother’s favorite cookies — oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip with macadamia nut, snickerdoodles, and peanut butter — to be shared with my brothers and my dad, in honor of my mother who died on Sunday. Mom’s love of sweets was so great that she wouuld skip the meal to ensure she had room for dessert!

  1254. Virginia

    I would bake vanilla-chocolate chips cupcakes with nutella cream cheese frosting!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!! :) I want it, I want it, I Want it!

  1255. Jessica Burley

    I am studying abroad in Spain right now, and there are almost no sugary pastries of any sort to be found anywhere. If I won, the first thing I would make would be Christmas cookies, because that is what I am most looking forward to when I get back home!

  1256. Grandma Barbie June

    I would make pumpkin bread for gifts for friends and family. My daughter grows and cans her own pumpkin and she is always glad to share with me. I have made pumpkin bread for many years. I use little mini loaf pans and people just love to receive it all gaily wrapped with my own little “Merry Christmas” card attached. I don’t have a big mixer but I make do with my little hand held. This mixer would be very much of a blessing to me this year. Merry Christmas and God bless you for all your fun stuff, Amanda.

  1257. Crystal Lowenthal

    Oooh, I’d have to bust out the fat pants because I’d be eating everything I’d make. I’d start with a sinful cheesecake….then my favorite cupcakes….oh, then a chocolate cake….and with the holidays coming the sky is the limit!! Thanks for the opportunity.

  1258. jill

    I would make homemade cinnamon rolls and take them with us to the homeless shelter. We cook there a couple times of month so it would be a nice treat for them!

  1259. Mareen

    I would make my first batch of Christmas cookies and many more to come till Christmas. And pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Yumm.
    It would be a dream come true.

  1260. Fiona Tuakoi

    I would definitely make banana bread for my neighbors, sisters & myself. It’s my comfort food especially since the temperature here in Utah has dropped a ton and it’s freezing. Nothing beats a fresh loaf of banana bread sprinkled w/chocolate chips on top with a cup of warm milk on cold winter’s night. I really hope I win. I’ve never owned a mixer like this before. I would be able to make so many things with it. Bread, cookies, cakes, scones, pancakes, waffles & all the above. :D And I REALLY would make it all!! :D

  1261. Angela

    I would have to say I would make my grandmother’s coconut cream pie or maybe her lemon meriangue, tough choice!

  1262. Sara Newell

    WOW… It’s hard to decide, but probably chocolate chip cookies, because I’ve been promising my children.

  1263. Mindy

    OMG! I love this mixer in Red!! I have an older model in white, but red would rock! I would make my family famous banana bread cake. It is like Banana Bread, but not so dry. It makes a fabulous surprise inside a birthday cake! TY for this offer Amanda!

  1264. Jen

    I’d make a chocolate cake for my soon-to-be husband! He’s never had it before, so it’d be amazing to make it for him.

  1265. Kazan

    She is a beauty! I am a huge fan of Kitchenaid products and baking so here’s hoping the Random.org gods are smiling on me. My mom recently gave me a one bowl cake recipe that is to die for. A 7-Quart Mixer would be perfect for this baby ;)

  1266. Deirdre

    The first thing I would make would have to be my signature Lemon Pound Cake. Then I’d have to make a batch of brownies for my Mom … from scratch, of course! Thanks so much for the opportunity. This has been on my wish list since January!

  1267. Amy K

    I would mix up my son’s upcoming birthday cake and favorite buttercream with this beauty! Thanks for the chance to win.

  1268. Megan Doddridge

    Christmas baking…sweet bliss! I would bake and bake and bake. Cookies and bars and biscotti. Hope I win!

  1269. Macy

    Oooooooh, how pretty! I would make chocolate chip cookies using a recipe I found that calls for vanilla pudding as an ingredient! Sounds deeeeelish!

  1270. Carolyn Orchard

    I have wanted one of these for so long- what a great giveaway…The question is what wouldn’t I make…If I had to choose one thing though it would be my daughter’s favorite chocolate chip cookies that we have made since she was a toddler..she is 20 now:)

    Thank you so much for this great giveaway:)

    Carolyn

  1271. LORIE H.

    I’VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THIS MIXER FOREVER!!!!! ANYWHO, WOULD HAVE TO MAKE MY MOTHER’S CHEESECAKE FOR THANKSGIVING. DELISH!!!

  1272. Lynn A.

    Our traditional Overnight Cinnamon Rolls.
    In 2009 I had heart and multiple organ failure that led to amputations or half my fingers and parts of both my feet. I used to make the Rolls for Christmas every year. Now life is just too hard. Winning this would be a godsend. Thank you.

  1273. cheryl

    I’d make some rustic bread loaves – with lots of healthy grains and seeds. Sunflower bread is my favorite. I’d also make French Bread!

  1274. Lara Hanson

    I would make cookies and wash it out and make a cake and wash again and make something else because I would be so excited to own one I would make a little bit of everything.

  1275. Pamela

    Wow! The question is what would I not make. I’ve been dreaming of a kitchen aide mixer now for several years and it just keeps jetting worse. I am afraid I would spend all day in the kitchen baking cookies, muffins, breads, homemade mash potatoes, shredding. Chicken, gotta have the ice cream attachment, meat grinder,etc with my 15 yr old daughter :).

  1276. Brianna Ellis

    My mum and I have been coveting one of these kitchen aid mixers for so long! haha

    If I won the first thing I would make in the kitchen aid mixer would be a batch of red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!

  1277. Kerry

    Wow!!!! Just thinking about what I would make has got my mouth watering and my mind covering this beauty of a machine!!!! I am almost positive I would start Christmas baking early and would kick it off with my mom’s Mars Bars!!! Mmmmmmmmmm!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!

  1278. Suzanne Bree

    I would definitely make whole wheat bread! I love the kitchenaid, I am drooling over the red one. Thank you so much for the giveaway!

  1279. Maarja

    It might be pretty early, but as i am already looking forward to Christmas (oh God, yes i’m the biggest fan of Christmas) I would definitely try all the winter holiday recipes, but first of all I would make chocolate and ginger self saucing pudding, yummi!

  1280. Marie

    Two things! German Pancakes then Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!!!!! Thanks for the chance to win! My kitchenaid mixer broke recently and it’d be SO awesome to win a new one!

  1281. Christine

    The bundt cake that Ive been wanting to make ever since I got my beautiful new pan from Williams-Sonoma for my birthday.

  1282. Pia Benincasa

    I would make the PIZZAAAAAA and then a delicious extra-chocolate cake!
    Keeping my fingers crossend…thank you for this chance to win a wonderful Kitchenaid! ;)
    Bye

  1283. Ashley Nadreau

    I rarely ever giveaways because I have the WORST luck in history known to man, but this time, I just can’t pass up this awesome giveaway! A huge Thank you to you, Kevin and Amanda and KitchenAid for doing this for so many people!

    The first thing I would make would be my grandmothers Christmas Pine cookies! My family and I have been living overseas for the last (almost) 7 yrs and it’s been close to 8-9 yrs since I have been home for a Christmas with them! She makes these ol’ so delicious cookies and what I wouldn’t give to be able to make them for my family and in return, send her some of the cookies from the most awesomenist (is that even a word?!) kitchen appliance!!

    I sure hope I win, this wouldn’t just be luck, it would be a gorgeous gift that I have not been able to afford! :)

    Thank you!
    Ashley

  1284. kaylene

  1285. Christle Aguilera

    The first thing I would make in my kitchenaid mixer would be gluten free toll house cookies…that is of coarse after I’ve made friends, family and all of facebook green with envy over my top-of-the-line mixer I won for FREE! :)

  1286. Laurie Ann Phinney

    Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Creme Brulet…Don’t even get me started on the 2nd (Chocolate Cake), 3rd (Bread) and 4th (Souffle) days! Smiles…I would use this every single solitary day Amanda!

    Thank You for always sharing light and joy on your blog – I am always thrilled to see a post from you in my inbox – I know the contents will be informative, positive and fun!

    Wishing You a Lovely Weekend!
    Hugs From Laurie (AKA Idgie)

  1287. Leslie Kiley

    Oh! This is my dream to own a Kitchenaid mixer. My grandma had one and used it almost every day and I just never got around to buying one of my own> If I won this gift of the gods , I would love to try my hand at some fresh light and fluffy dinner rolls for Thanksgiving!

  1288. Daiana

    I would make chocolate chip cookies, or chocolate chip muffins, or maybe lemon muffins? Any kind of muffins? Sorry, but I just can’t decide… OK, if I have to choose, it’s cake. Poppyseed cake.

  1289. Stephanie

    Pumpkin cheesecake. Or whole-wheat oatmeal chocolate chip and craisin cookies. yeah…there’s a lot of ingredients that you have to list in the title of that cookie.

  1290. Loralei

    If I was lucky enough to win (and I received it in time), I would make a double batch of Snickerdoodles for a Cookie Walk. (My signature cookie for the event.) Otherwise, it would be another double batch of some other cookies. (You NEED to take advantage of the size!)

  1291. Genevieve

    “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”

    What a tough question, i would want to make MANY THINGS! Like whipping up egg whites without breaking and arm and yes, bread! Many many tough times and fear handling of bread. Guess the first thing im gonna make is BREAD :D

    Thanks!

  1292. Sharii

    You ask, “What’s the first thing you’d make in your new Kitchenaid?”
    I would first make my husband his ‘FAV’ ~ Oatmeal Cookies with Nestle’s Chocolate Chips & then I would make one of your yummy cupcake recipes! ;0)
    Thanks Amanda!

  1293. Patricia Wrigh

    I’d make icecream! I’ve been wanring to try it on this mixer for quite a while now!!!
    Pattyms83{at}yahoo{dot}com

  1294. Mary

    I would have to mix up a batch of my Mom’s homemade dinner rolls that is a recipe everyone in our family looks forward to, especially for Thanksgiving Dinner. Mom used to make these every year and all of us kids & grandkids could hardly wait for dinner, no so much for what main courses & sides were being served but instead for the rolls. Mom would never let us have any except for at dinner time back in the day. They are so yummy!!

  1295. Karoline Smith

    My great-grandson, who is 14, has Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy, and lives his life confined to a wheelchair. His favorite is Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie. This is the first thing I would make in my beautiful new mixer. And of course, following that I would start baking Christmas cookies for family and friends.

  1296. Kristin M.

    I would make cookies! Lots and lots of cookies! Peanut butter cookies for my husband, oatmeal raisin for my best friend and some snickerdoodles for my nephew :)

  1297. Amy H.

    I would have my husband make cinnamon rolls. He’s the baker in the family and he would love this mixer! Thanks for another great contest.

  1298. Meagan

    Hmmmmmm…..I would probably make my sour cream chocolate cake with peanut butter cream cheese frosting and chocolate peanut butter ganache. The peanut butter cream cheese frosting is HEAVENLY but it is a pain to make it with a hand mixer which is all I have right now. The second thing I would make would be homemade bread. I despise kneading bread by hand but I love eating it hot out of the oven! Yum!

    Wow, that is a gorgeous mixer!

    It’s hard to think about what I’d bake next, as I’m in the middle of baking (6 dozen cupcakes, 3 cheesecakes, 2 batches of brownies) for my sister’s wedding this weekend, but I know I will be doing some more major baking for the holidays. Maybe some rum cake.

    OH MY! I already have two kitchen aid stand mixers, and covet the 5 qt with the clear bowl. Yum. Now, this? Please, please, I’d love to win this.

    And the first thing I would make is a nice batch of challah. Which is similar to brioche. But my recipe is vegan, no eggs. Yum!

    Thanks for the chance to win.

      How do you leave a comment. I would love to have this Kitchenaid 7-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. I only have 45% use of my hand and 70% in the other. This would be perfect for me to make my Anniversary Cake for Thanksgiving, but I cannot figure out how to leave a comment. Please advise me on how to leave a comment so I can be entered.

    2. Sharman

      First, my first time ever I would make a cake from scratch! Thank you for this chance to win this fabulous mixer. I do not have a mixer in my home!
