    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!

  8. 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.

  14. 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!

  18. 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!!

  27. Lee Barrow

  33. 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.

  34. 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!

    I would make my father’s favorite meringues and thumbprint cookies for his memorial service in 2 weeks. The man loved his cookies!

  41. 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.

  45. 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!

  48. 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!!

  52. 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!

  55. 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!

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

  81. Erin Willis

    It’s not too original, but some warm, chewy chocolate chip cookies for my four children. Who can resist a tasty classic like that??

  86. 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!!

  88. Laura

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

  125. 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

  129. 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!

  130. Angela V.

  131. 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!

  134. Robyn Rasmussen

  144. 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!!

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

  148. 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!

  151. 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!

  153. 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!

  158. 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!!

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

  163. 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!

  165. 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.. :)

  167. 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!

  168. 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!

  172. 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.

  173. 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! :)

  174. 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. :)

  176. 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!!!!!! :)

  179. 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!

  182. 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.

  184. Lisa Byxbee

  185. Sarah G.

    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!!!

  187. 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!!

  190. Christy West

    The first thing I would make would be chocolate chip cookies from scratch with my kids!!! And kiss my hand mixer goodbye lol I have always wanted one of these!!!! Thank for the chance to win

    I’d make cookies… likely some using my girls leftover Halloween candy.

  212. 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!

  216. Ruth

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I will make my “I’m melting” snowman sugar cookies for our annual Christmas Cookie Swap. When I got married I hoped we would get one; we didn’t. I want one so bad!!

  229. 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!

  248. Debbie

  249. 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!

  254. 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

  256. 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!

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

  266. 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?!

    Thanks for the chance!

  273. Kristine T

  278. 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!!

  281. 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!

  284. Alicia

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

  285. 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!

  287. 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!

  288. 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)

  291. 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!!

  292. 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!

  303. 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!

  304. 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!

  307. 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.

  308. 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

  310. 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!

  314. 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!

  319. 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!

  320. Kelli Dietrich

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

  321. 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

  325. 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.

  330. Christy Y

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

  331. 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)!!

  332. 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!!!

  333. 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.

  334. 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.

  335. 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!

  337. shara bachman

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

  346. 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!!!

  347. 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.

  357. 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.

  358. Katie {Sweet Rose Studio}

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

  361. Amchwa

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

  364. Sarah lejeune

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

  367. edgefarms

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

  377. Christie

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

  379. 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

  380. 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.

  381. 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. :)

  383. 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!

  384. 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!!

  386. 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.

  387. 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:)

  388. 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!!

  395. 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.

  399. tabatha stimpson

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

  402. 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.

  403. 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.

    :)

  404. 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!

  411. Barbara

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

  418. 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. :)

  420. Amy Martindale

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

  422. 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!

  426. 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

  429. 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!

  432. 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.

  434. 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

  440. 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!

  442. 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.

  444. 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!!!

  445. Jiji

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

  448. 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!

  454. 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

  460. 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

  466. 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!

  468. Erin

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

  473. 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. :)

  477. 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.

  480. 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

  481. 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. :)

  483. 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!

  489. 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!!!

  495. 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!

  496. 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!

  497. 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

  498. Gloria

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

  501. 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)

  503. 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!

  512. 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!

  515. 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!

  516. Alyssa

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

  520. 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 !

  522. 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!

  525. 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

  527. 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!

  536. 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!

  539. 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!

  543. 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.

  545. 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!!!

  546. 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! :-)

  549. 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!

  550. 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!

  553. 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.

  554. 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.

  556. 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 :-)

  561. 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!

  563. 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!

  569. 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!

  570. 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!

  571. 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!

  574. 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

  580. 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.

  581. 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!

  582. Sally

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

  583. Helena

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

  584. 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! :)

  586. 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!

  588. 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!!

  589. 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!!!

  590. 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!

  593. 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 :)

  594. 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!

  595. 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.

  600. 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! :)

  604. 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

  606. Eliani R.

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

  607. 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!

  608. 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.

  609. 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.

  612. 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!

  613. 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!

  615. 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.

  620. 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 ………

  626. 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.

  639. 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!

  640. 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!

  645. 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!

  648. 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.

  649. 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!

  652. 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!

  656. 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!

  663. Annalisa

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

  667. 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*

  672. Stephanie

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

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

  673. 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!

  678. 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.

  679. 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!

  680. 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

  684. 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!

  685. Holly

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

  690. 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! :)

  693. 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!

  694. 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!

  696. 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!

  697. 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*

  698. 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!!!!

  701. 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!

  706. Gen

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

  708. 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!!!

  712. 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!

  716. 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!!!

  717. Anne

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

  718. 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!

  721. 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! =]

  723. Jessi

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

  724. amanda from the mountains

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

  734. 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!

  736. 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!

  737. 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!

  738. 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!!

  741. 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.

  742. 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

  744. 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!

  751. 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.

  753. 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!!

  763. 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.

  776. 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!

  778. 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

  779. MaryEllen Briseno

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

  782. 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!!

  783. 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!!:)

  787. Pam H.

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

  788. 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~

  789. 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.

  791. 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.

  793. 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.

  794. fran vanStaalduinen

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

  798. 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!

  803. 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!

  805. 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!!!!!!!!!

  807. 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!

  808. 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!

  809. 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

  812. Arlene

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

  820. 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!

  821. 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!

  822. 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 ;)

  823. 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.

  830. Kate Retherford

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

  835. 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!

  836. 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.

  837. 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

  838. 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!

  843. Sonya

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

  844. 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!

  845. Stacy

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

  847. 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!

  848. 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!

  853. Donna

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

    Thanks for the opportunity,
    Donna

  854. Michaela

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

  855. 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!

  856. 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!)

  857. 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!

  859. 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!! :)

  860. 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) ;)

  861. 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!

  862. 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.

  864. Joscelyn Rivers

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

  867. 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!

  869. 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!

  870. 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.

  871. 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!!

  873. 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.

  874. 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)!

  879. 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!

  887. 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!

  888. Stephanie Tarter

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

  889. 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.

  898. 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.

  899. 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.

  910. 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!

  911. Donna

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

  915. 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.

  916. 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!!

  918. 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 .

  920. Jenny L.

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

  921. 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!

  922. 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!

  923. 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 :)

  933. 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!

  934. 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)!

  940. 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.

  942. 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!

  949. Courtney

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

  951. 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.

  952. 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!

  955. 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.”

  957. 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!

  958. 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!

  960. 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 :)

  963. 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!

  965. Karen Hunsaker

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

  967. 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.

  968. 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!

  972. 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

  973. 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.

  974. 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!

  978. 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!!

  980. Gina B.

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

  981. 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.

  988. 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.

  990. 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 :)

  991. juls

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

  992. 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!

  995. 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

  997. 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?

  1001. 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!

  1003. 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 :)

  1006. 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!

  1008. 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!!! :)

  1009. 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!

  1010. 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!

  1013. 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!!!!!!!

  1018. 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!!!

  1020. 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!

  1022. 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.

  1024. 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!

  1025. 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!

  1026. 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!!!!

  1027. 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.

  1033. 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.

  1034. 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!!!

  1040. 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.

  1042. 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.

  1043. 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!!

  1046. 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.

  1047. 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.

  1049. 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!

  1052. 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

  1053. 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!

  1061. 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!

  1063. 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. :)

  1067. 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! :)

  1070. 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!!!

  1071. 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!

  1075. 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!!!

  1078. 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!!

  1079. 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)

  1080. 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!

  1090. Kristen Buley

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

  1091. 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!

  1093. 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!

  1095. 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

  1101. 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!

  1107. 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.

  1111. 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!

  1112. 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…

  1113. 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! :)

  1114. 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!).

  1115. 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.

  1118. 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/

  1120. 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 ;)

  1121. Cathy Willman

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

  1122. Veronique Allard

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

  1123. 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 !!

  1124. 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! :)

  1128. 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! :)

  1132. 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!!!!

  1134. 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!

  1135. 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! :)

  1137. 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!

  1141. 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! :)

  1143. 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.

  1146. Shelley C.

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

  1147. Judy

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

  1150. 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.

  1152. kat

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

    Christina

  1157. Danielle Breedlove

    Oh.my.happiness. What a lovely KitchenAid mixer.
    The first thing I would make is a LARGE batch of oatmeal cookies to send with my husband to give to his flight crew! (:

    Thanks for the chance to win, Amanda!

  1158. KayLynne Bobbitt

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

  1159. 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.

  1160. 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.

  1164. Megan P

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

  1172. 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.

  1179. 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!

  1183. 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!

  1184. 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! :)

  1186. Sigalit Chana

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

  1190. 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!

  1193. 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!!!!

  1196. 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. :)

  1200. 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!!!!!

  1201. 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)!

  1204. 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 :)

  1206. 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!

  1207. 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.

  1208. 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.

  1214. 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

  1216. christine

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

  1217. 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..

  1222. 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!!!

  1224. 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!

  1227. 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.

  1230. 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!!!

  1231. Linda

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

  1234. 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.

  1235. 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

  1238. 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 :)

  1240. 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!

  1247. 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

  1250. 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.

  1253. 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!

  1254. 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!!)!!

  1258. 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!

  1261. Sara D

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

  1263. 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!!

  1265. 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!

  1274. 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! :)

  1276. 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

  1277. 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

  1279. 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.

  1280. 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!)

  1286. 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!!

  1288. 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!

  1292. 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!

  1298. 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…

  1302. 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!

  1303. 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

  1304. 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!

  1305. 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!

  1306. 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!

  1310. 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!

  1312. 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!

  1315. 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!

  1316. *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 :)

  1317. Ausia Lauts

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

  1321. 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!

  1324. 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…

  1327. 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.

  1328. 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! :)

  1331. 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!

  1335. 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.

  1337. 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!

  1341. 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!!

  1342. 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.

  1345. 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!

  1347. 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.

  1350. Ria

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

  1359. 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 !

  1361. 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.

  1362. 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!

  1364. 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 :)

  1367. 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.

  1376. donna Broussard

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

  1382. 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.

  1384. 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!!!

  1385. 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.

  1386. 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!

  1394. 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!

  1396. 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!

  1403. 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.

  1404. 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. :-)

  1410. 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.

  1413. 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)

  1415. 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!!!

  1416. 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.

  1418. 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.

  1424. 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!

  1425. 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!

  1427. 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!

  1428. 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!

  1430. 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! :)

  1433. 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!

  1437. 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!

  1438. 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 :)!

  1443. 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!!

  1444. 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…

  1451. 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

  1456. 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!

  1471. 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! :)

  1476. 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.

  1477. Mindy Kammerdiener

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

  1481. 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
    Mix together in a 4 quart saucepan:
    4 cups sugar
    1 large can evaporated milk
    Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring slowly, until it reaches 240 degrees.

    Remove from heat and pour over the following ingredients in your 7 qt Kitchen Aid Mixer:
    2 sticks salted butter cut into chunks
    2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Beat well (until smooth & creamy) and add:
    2 teaspoons vanilla

    Mix well and pour into buttered dish.

    Thank you for the chance to make special memories!

  1487. 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

  1494. 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! :)

  1500. mekei

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

  1502. 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.

  1507. 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. :)

  1518. 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!!!!!

  1519. 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!

  1523. 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

  1530. 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!!

  1532. 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.

  1541. 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!

  1544. 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!

  1545. 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!

  1548. 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!

  1549. 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.

  1554. 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!

  1555. 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.

  1562. 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!)

  1568. 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.

  1572. Linda S

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

  1576. 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. :)

  1578. 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!

  1588. 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!!!

  1595. 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!!!!!

  1605. 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.

  1607. 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.

  1609. 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.

  1616. 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.

  1618. 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!!

  1621. Claudia P.

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

  1622. 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!

  1624. 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.

  1630. 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.

  1631. 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

  1633. 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!

  1635. 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.

  1640. 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!

  1642. 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!

  1644. Riann

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

  1645. Robin

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

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

  1651. Tara

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

  1654. 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.

  1655. 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.

  1675. 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!)

  1679. 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.

  1680. 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!!

  1682. 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1685. LynnLynn

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

  1696. 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!)

  1701. 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!

  1703. 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…

  1706. 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!

  1707. 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!

  1709. 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!

  1710. Dana

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

  1711. 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!

  1713. 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!

  1717. 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!

  1718. 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

  1722. 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!

  1724. 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!

  1725. anita

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

  1727. 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*

  1729. 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.

  1731. 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!

  1732. 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!!!:)

  1733. 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!

  1736. 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.

  1741. 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!

  1742. 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.

  1744. 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.

  1747. 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!

  1757. 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!!

  1759. 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)

  1760. 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!!!

  1761. 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.

  1768. Debby J

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

  1770. 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! :-)

  1775. 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!

  1776. 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.

  1780. 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!

  1781. 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.

  1787. 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

  1790. 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!

  1792. 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!

  1795. 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!)

  1799. 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

  1800. Holly Rook

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

  1802. 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.

  1803. Kimmie

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

  1805. 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.

  1807. Shelley White

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

  1809. Brandi B

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

  1812. melyssa

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

  1815. 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. :)

  1825. 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)

  1828. Karen

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

  1836. 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!

  1840. 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.

  1841. 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!!!

  1843. 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.

  1847. Christine

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

  1848. 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!

  1849. 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.

  1850. 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)

  1856. Melissa Wise

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

  1860. 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!

  1861. 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.

  1864. 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! ;)

  1873. 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.

  1874. 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!

  1875. 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.

  1882. 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!!

  1884. 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!

  1887. 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! :)

  1892. 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!

  1893. 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!

  1896. 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!

  1897. 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!

  1898. Cindy Beth

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

  1900. 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.

  1901. 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.

  1903. 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!

  1906. 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!

  1909. 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!

  1910. 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!!!!

  1913. 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.

  1914. Sarah Bultman

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

  1915. 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! ;)

  1916. jahree

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

  1924. 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

  1925. 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!

  1926. 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.

  1928. 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.

  1929. 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.

  1933. 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!

  1935. 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!

  1937. 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.

  1940. 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!

  1941. 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!!!!!!

  1945. 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!!

  1946. 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!!!

  1948. 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! :)

  1949. Leticia

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

  1950. Amy Rochelle

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

  1957. 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.

  1958. 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.

  1959. 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!)

  1962. 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…

  1967. 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.

  1969. millie

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

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

  1970. 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!

  1974. 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.

  1978. 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!

  1981. 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!

  1982. 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!

  1995. 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. ;)

  1997. 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!

  1998. 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!

  2002. Amy Tong

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

    amy [at] utry [dot] it

  2005. 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! :)

  2006. 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!!!

  2008. 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.

  2009. 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!

  2011. 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

  2012. Allison

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

  2015. 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!

  2016. 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… :)

  2017. 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!

  2021. 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.

  2029. 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 :)

  2031. Renee

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

  2032. 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 :)

  2033. 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.

  2036. Jill t

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

  2037. 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. ;-)

  2038. 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!

  2040. 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! :)

  2042. 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

  2043. 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!

  2046. anabel

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

  2050. 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! :)

  2057. 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! =]

  2062. 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!

  2065. 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 :)

  2066. 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!

  2075. 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 :)

  2076. 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!!

  2082. stacey

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

  2085. 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!

  2086. 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.

  2089. 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!!

  2092. carm

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

  2094. 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!

  2099. 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. :)

  2102. 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.

  2105. 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!

  2111. 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!!!

  2112. 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

  2114. 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!!!

  2117. 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!

  2122. 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.

  2124. 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!

  2125. 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.

  2126. 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!

  2128. 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!

  2129. 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. :)

  2130. 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!

  2131. 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!!

  2133. 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!

  2134. 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.

  2137. 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.

  2141. 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!

  2146. 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.

  2150. 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.

  2151. Rachel

    Just some classic chocolate chip cookies. Simple and delicious.

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

  2156. 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!!!

  2157. 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 :)

  2159. 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!

  2160. Samantha C.

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

  2162. 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!

  2163. 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 :)

  2169. 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!

  2174. 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!

  2176. 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.

  2177. 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!

  2179. Bobbie

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

  2180. Brenda

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

  2181. Renee F.

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

  2182. 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!

  2183. Jhinnah

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

  2184. 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.

  2185. 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!

  2189. 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!

  2194. 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!

  2201. 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 :)

  2202. 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…)

  2203. 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??

  2205. 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.

  2207. 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!

  2209. 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!

  2212. 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!

  2213. 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! :)

  2222. 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!

  2223. 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.

  2225. 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

  2226. 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

  2228. 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!

  2232. 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…

  2236. 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!

  2240. 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!

  2245. 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!

  2248. 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!

  2252. Nicole Smith

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

  2253. 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!

  2255. 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! : )

  2258. 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!!

  2259. 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!!!

  2265. Marie

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

  2267. 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!

  2269. 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

  2270. 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!

  2271. 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!

  2272. 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

  2274. 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!!! :)

  2275. 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

  2278. 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.

  2280. 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!!

  2281. 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.

  2286. 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!

    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!!!

    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.

  2305. Barrie

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

  2307. Kathi

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

  2311. 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!

  2315. 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!

  2318. 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.

  2319. 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..

  2323. 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!

  2326. 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.

  2327. 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!!!

  2328. Jennifer Lassiter

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

  2329. 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??

  2330. 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 :)

  2332. 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!)

  2334. 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.

  2338. 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!

  2339. 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. :)

  2340. 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!

  2341. 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.

  2345. 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.

  2349. 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.

  2350. 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!

  2353. 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!!

  2356. 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. .

  2358. 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!

  2360. 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?

  2361. 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!

  2364. 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.

  2370. 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!

  2371. Kim

    LOL…That’s easy…Peanutbutter cookies…we have “killed” 2 hand mixers making our receipe……love the RED!!!!

  2376. 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 *******

  2377. 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!

  2379. 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!

  2381. 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

  2389. 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:)

  2391. Holly D.

    I would make a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to share with all my neighbors! :) {I am in LOVE with that Candy Apple Red!}

  2392. Evelyn

    I would make a big bowl of yummy, creamy, dreamy buttercream frosting for all the cupcakes I am making for our big family Christmas! Here’s hoping I win!!! Thanks for your wonderful blog!

  2396. Annette Mummery

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

    I would make chocolate chip pumpkin bread with my daughter!

  2399. 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!! :)

  2401. 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!

  2403. debbie myers

    oh i just love this mixer. the first thing i would make is cookies for my little grandies. thanks for the chance.

  2404. 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 :)

  2406. 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…

  2408. 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!

  2409. 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 :)

  2410. 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!

  2413. 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!!

  2414. 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! ;^)

  2415. 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!

  2416. 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.

  2418. 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. ;)

  2420. 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.

  2421. 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!!!!!

  2427. 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.
