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

•March 22, 2012

Time’s up!

The winner of the two Kitchenaid Mixers is…

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to Enter

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

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

    I would make an ENORMOUS batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and send you two a gift pack of them if I won! My Kitchenaid is really old (it was my Grandmothers) and I could really use a new one and I would give the extra one to my sister who also loves to bake!

    The first thing I would make in my stand mixer, should I win (!), is a pound cake or banana bread! I’ve been making banana bread with the boxed mixes you get at the store. Today, I made a new “scratch” banana bread recipe today for the first time, and it came out pretty good. Of course, I had to use my 40 year old (other brand) stand mixer. It’s passable, but still gives me a workout. I am in awe of the KitchenAids! I’ve had my heart set on a KSM150PSPE, but if I were lucky enough to WIN any KitchenAid stand mixer, I’d love it! I made my homemade potato salad today. It would have been nice to have a dough hook to stir it!

    I would make homemade Yeast Rolls – nothing could do it better than using my Kitchen Aide Mixer. I love them! Have one that is 50 years old – not positive but it has been in the family for many, many years! Kitchen Aide will ALWAYS be in our family for many more years to come. No one makes them better than Kitchen Aide!

    Oh my. I am in denial about owning one of these. I always tell my sisters it’s because I love hand mixing and things taste better that way, but…. OH how I would love this! And one to give my dear friend getting married! Happy Birthday Kevin and Amanda!

    I’ve been dying to try a bread recipe that is suppose to be identical to Outback’s bread. Unfortunately you need a stand mixer, I don’t have one. So that is the first recipe I would love to try if I won the mixer.

    I’d start out with a yummy lemon tart — great for spring! The Kitchenaid attachments would be perfect to mix up the dough, beat eggs for filling, and add homemade whipped cream! And a lot more practical than my current full-blast-only handheld mixer.

    This is a really nice giveaway!

    For health concerns, my family could use this to help with homemade and nutritious recipes. My kids like apple sauces so maybe a raspberry apple sause?

    Wish everyone the best for this give away. Thank you.

    OMGosh! I have had this 7-qt KitchenAid mixer in RED on my ‘things I really want’ list for some time now. If I won this the first thing I would make is some of my wonderful sourdough bread – white and wheat – yum! Best bread I’ve ever had and my old KitchenAid mixer is really straining itself to make it and I’m afraid it may burn out the motor! Thanks!

    A giveaway for you and a friend? WOW! An absolutely lovely way to celebrate birthday week :-) Congrats on 10 years, Amanda and Kevin.

    What’s the first thing I’d make in my new Kitchenaid? The ideas could go on and on but I love sweets and so I think that’s the route I’d go. A yummy cheese cake. Plain old vanilla cheesecake. Hmm….

    The other Kitchaid would go to my mom, whom I’d hope would be more adventurous with the first thing she makes :-p

    Thanks for sharing such great giveaways for birthday weeks.

    Good luck too all :-)

    The first thing I would make is definitely a 3 layer cake. I am at the beginning stages of a home based baking business and my 4.5 quart kitchenaid it’s cutting it. Instead of doubling a recipe I have to make the recipe 3 separate times in my mixer which is verrrryy time consuming! I need this mixer!! :-)

    My kids and I eat primarily Gluten-free breads, cakes and pizza mixes. It’s hard on my wrist to manually stir it and too thick for my vintage hand mixer. I’d gladly use this to prepare our food eager to cook for us more often as the Gluten-free has helped us be more healthy, lose weight and reduce food allergy/behavior issues.

    The first thing I would make are some from scratch cupcakes, probably pina-colado flavor. Sounds easy but when you live at the bottom of Pikes Peak in Colorado baking can be a challenge and its all about the science of what each ingredient does when heated.
