I want to make a chocolate peanutbutter mousse cake. I had planned on making it for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday, but couldn’t find a mixer in time to make one. He’s been begging me to make it for him every since I mentioned it to him!
That is easy. Everything that needs to be mixed.
My brother in law is in the Navy and stationed in Afghanistan so I try to send him care packages a few times a month with my homemade cookies, scones and breads that I do all by hand. I usually make about 500 cookies. Having a KitchenAid would help cut down on mixing time so I would have more time to make more to send to him and the men and women serving along side of him.
I would make my grandmother’s chocolate cake.
After hugging and kissing my new mixer and much squee!-ing, I would make bread! and Christmas cookies!
Definitely two loaves of whole wheat bread! The texture is too dense when I knead by hand. I’ve wanted a Kitchenaid for such a long time, and this is just one of many things I’d do with this baby. Thanks for the opportunity. Love your blog–the pictures are always poppin’!

I would make, among other things, a lemon meringue pie, and a cheesecake for my husband. Those are two things that I cannot do well without a mixer. He would be delighted and so would I.

I would make my grandmothers cake recipe with her famous frosting. This frosting is better than any frosting I’ve ever tasted. She has a KitchenAid mixer and says its one of the keys to this recipe. Oh what I wouldn’t give to have this under my tree this year.
I’m going to make the traditonal Nestle Toll House cookies!
I’m going to make a pumpkin pie bar for my elderly mother. She loves pumpkin pie, but cannot eat the crust. So a bar, with a heart-healthy bottom layer will thrill her!

I’m going to make a delicious gluten free honey and oat bread. It is amazing! I’ve been wanting a mixer forever, but they are just so darn expensive! I think it would make this recipe SO SO SO much easier. THANKS!
I love to make a pantry pancake and waffle mix and an electric mixer will make mixing the dry ingredients together so much easier.
Use freshly milled grains.
3 c hard white wheat
1 c buckwheat
.5 c corn
.5 c rice
.5 barley
1.5 c oatmeal (blend in food processor until powdered)
2 cups powder milk
5 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon of cinnamon
Mix all together in a very large bowl and divvy up into gallon sized freezer storage bags. I would mark the date with a Sharpie pen and keep it in the freezer although you can keep in your pantry.

I will make chocolate peanutbutter chip banana bread for all of my friends

I would love to make a pavlova like I had on my cruise in Italy. Sadly, I think my hand mixer motor might burn out if I tried to make it.
Cinnamon rolls!
I would make a Black Forest Cheesecake, which is to die for.
Oh man, I would have to make every single chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever seen. Why not? After that I would then go through my recipe catalog and make all the recipes that called for a stand mixer just because I could.
I’m totally making my 30th birthday cake with this bad boy. Winter Solstice birthday, what what!
I plan to try homemade marshmallows!
I’m not much of a baker myself, but my boyfriend could really use one of these mixers. He makes the best homemade bread & pizza crusts and I’m sure one of these machines would make life in the kitchen a lot easier for him. I love looking at websites and blogs to get ideas/suggestions for recipes… And it’s always nice to reap the benefits of a Baking Boyfriend.
I share!
I would make a gluten free roll recipe for my wife who can’t have regular bread, muffins or rolls.
Chewy ginger cookies, my all-time favorite holiday cookie.
I would make tons of bread dough… It would be so much easier with this mixer!
Happy Holidays!
Buttery, buttery shortbread!
As the office’s designated baker and cupcake connoisseur you can bet I will be making loads of homemade cupcakes — especially the recipes that call for a stand mixer that I haven’t been able to tackle!
to be honest, i’m not going to make anything, but my wife will hopefully be making her famous chocolate chip cookies. they are a church favorite.
What aren’t I going to make with it?! Let’s see…cookies, homemade breads, cakes, cupcakes, pizza dough…I could go on and on!
I would make Italian Rustic bread with a sourdough twist…then a little excellent olive oil dipping sauce…paired with a little excellent Noble Pig Pinot Noir! Yum!

Pound cakes! Maybe butter, maybe almond … sour cream, … I love ‘em all!
I will be making a double batch of one of my favorites, Challah bread!
I am planning to make my special holiday whipped potatoes with sour cream, chives, pimientos, cheeses yum!!
A family favorite… chocolate chip cookies. They were the first thing I ever learned how to bake.
My friend’s mom was born and raised in Rome. While I realize this isn’t a quintessentially Italian thing, she makes the most banging pizza ever, and it all starts with the dough. She claims I can simply use my tiny food processor if I work patiently, but graduate students never have time for patience in the kitchen!
While I cook up some bacon on the stove, the mixer will be slaving away, kneading dough. Crumbled bacon gets added to dough, then formed into rolls. Next, I’ll dump in the ingredients for my pork rub, top secret, so I just can’t list them here. Once it’s all churned together, the Boston Butt gets the rub, and onto the smoker it goes. But that mixer isn’t finished yet, because it has to combine the ingredients for the sauce, also top secret, into a pot and then the smoker to slow cook with the pork, thickening up and gathering more flavor.
The final product is pulled-pork sliders on bacon rolls with homemade sauce.
Profiterols. Just that!
I would totally whip up my favorite childhood Christmas treat, Meringue Mushrooms. You beat up a thick meringue, pipe mushroom “stems” and “caps” individually on a cookie sheet, bake (well, just dry out, really) at about 250 degrees for a couple of hours, and then paint chocolate under caps before sticking them together. Best. Candy. Ever. Thanks for this post!
I’m going to make my best friend’s traditional Christmas sugar cookie recipe – and then decorate them!

Oh to win something I have been lusting over for years. My mother had one she used all the time, but when she passed away, my father (who didn’t bake) put her mixer in a box and placed it in the garage. Years later my husband moved the box and the mixer fell to the cement garage floor:( Broken! I cried.
If I won this I would blessed.
My grandma’s Nisu (finnish cardamon bread).

What a wonderful giveaway
I would make all my cookies for the holidays, I have so many to make!
I am hoping to make a rainbow layer cake with a butter cream frosting. Not having to mix with a spoon would make my life a lot easier!! My sister will also be in Korea for the holidays, and they don’t have ovens in their apartments there. I will be sending her lots of baked goods to help her keep the holiday spirit.
I have never owned one of these mixers and would look forward to all it’s capabilities!! Plus it just looks awesome!
My “Damn Chicken Tarts”, a rather-involved recipe I stumbled on 20+ years ago and one my family won’t let me in the door if they are not in hand! No, seriously!

I am going to make cheese straws, my favorite southern Christmas tradition.
How about angel food cake and just about everything else! Amazing gift. Thanks.
I saw these posted the other day (http://makeandtakeblog.com/2010/11/27/chewy-pecan-fudge-cookies/) but had a terrible time getting them to puff up right with my hand mixer
Actually I would give it to my sister in law Norma because she loves to cook and she doesn’t have one.
Homemade marshmallows!
I have had this plan forever, about what I would make first should I ever have the good fortune to own an honest-to-goodness KitchenAid Mixer: I am going to make my first-ever lemon meringue pie, because I would finally be able to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks! I’ve never made a lemon meringue pie before, because I just cannot deal with the hand beating.
I’m going to make lots and lots of cookies!!!!!
Lots and lots of cookies! And maybe some holiday bread too!
Orange Poundcake with chocolate…yum!!!
And Banana’s Foster Bread
I will be baking my sister holiday treats while she is away in Korea for the holidays. I am also hoping to make a layered rainbow cake with butter cream frosting!
I will be making my mother’s famous sugar cookies!!
I’m going to make cakes glore.
First that AWESOME that you are giving away a KitchenAid mixer! Its a running joke in my family that when someone decides to propose to me I’ll ask for a KitchenAid mixer instead of a ring, funny thing is its not really a joke on my end I’m serious. I would LOVE to make two of my fav cookies Caribbean Lime Coolers and Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies. I make 8 dozen batches of each every year, and ps do you know how hard it is mixing that many batches by hand?
I would definitely make Christmas Cookies! Maybe those Port Balls you made for me…oh, those were sinful!
With this mixer I would make my friend Jan’s amazing cinnamon rolls. She makes them for us every year around the holidays and I always want to make them, but, don’t have the right equipment. If I had this mixer, I’d be in cinnamon roll heaven!
With this mixer, I would make a triple batch of Framed’s Grandma’s Molasses cookies. My mixer barely survived the one batch I made, but I need to make more, because they pretty much redefined Christmas Cookies for me
Peppermint chocolate crinkle cookies! They just scream the holidays.
Many,many christmas cookies
Homemade croisants! yum!
I am going to make cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting.
I will be making big batches of raspberry walnut rugelach to share with my family!

since i’ve never had a mixer and still only use a small hand one, i would make ANYTHING out of my King Arthur Cookbook….finally!
Loads and loads of Christmas cookies- triple batches!
I will finally conquer my fear of baking bread!
Homemade brioche! I haven’t made it in years.
Homemade whipped cream!
Http://joesterne.com
I have always wanted to make some kind of tart. I’ve thought they would be difficult to make since they look so elegant. If I had a mixer like this, I would attempt my very first tart. I think I would try a recipe that I found recently-Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tart-and if it turned out, I would take it to my family’s Christmas to eat for dessert. I’m pretty sure my family would be surprised and wonder what I used to make this (hopefully) wonderful Christmas tart!
I would make my cinnamon rolls. My husband thinks I don’t love him and they always make him know I do.
I will be making your easy honey whole wheat bread every day with this mixer!:)
Enough cookies to fatten up all of my neighbors
Gonna have to whip up some of my famous (and now easier to make, [crosses fingers]) banana bread!
Well… this KitchenAid Mixer would be great to have for my family’s kitchen. We recently moved to Portland, and we misplaced some items in the move & our old reliable KitchenAid was in one of the boxes.
So, we would make our Christmas Cooking, and we would make a few new recipes with this Mixer.
Christmas cookies!!
I am going to make tons of Christmas bread, as only this machine can do…over and over and over. But I also plan to make Michele’s Butter Milk cake in the comment above, but I’ll do that today. Thanks! dw
I’m going to make chocolate chip cookies!
scones scones and scones! oh and vegan chocolate cake! <3
Danish Spritz Cookies!
I’m a recent graduate who has just started a career in advertising at The Martin Agency in Richmond, VA. This year will be the first time in my entire life that I won’t be able to spend all of the holidays with my family. But one thing that always makes me feel at home, closer to my family, is the recipes we all share. My girlfriend and I even started a food blog to help stay connected with our families – http://bcittastesgood.com/
I can’t afford many kitchen tools, and therefore I don’t have any sort of mixer at all. Winning this mixer would give me a way to easily whip up all of the holiday favorites that I’ve gotten to enjoy with my family over the years, even when they are hundreds of miles away. Specifically – I’d make my little brother’s guilty pleasure, Danish Spritz Cookies. It would mean so much to be able to make lots of these so that I can share pictures and the recipe on my blog, and even send him some of my handiwork, to see how it stacks up against my grandmothers. That would be the best Christmas gift I could ask for!
I am going to make yeast bread with basil and sundried tomatoes!
i’m going to attempt to make butter!!! tasty tasty butter!
i haven’t had a mixer since i lived with my mother (i’m 30 now and didn’t hang around the nest for very long). I have, however, continued to cook & bake using my arms and grit to get the job done. i did borrow a mixer from a friend to make the chocolate soufflé cookies…but i had to give it back. i have made dinner rolls, cookies, cakes, muffins and all sorts of things sans mixer.
on to my recipe: last year i took your Guinness stout gingerbread recipe and made cake balls with cream cheese frosting and almond bark to give away as gifts (along with a half pint jar of cranberry tangerine chutney!). i plan to make the gingerbread cake balls again because they were such a hit!
please pick me – my baking possibilities would be endless!!

I am going to make a delicious M & M cookies that my grandmother has made for the past 60 years.
I am going to make Springerle cookies! If you don’t know what they are, Springerles are German Christmas cookies which are rolled with a special roller to create intricate details. They are then allowed to dry before being baked to preserve this detail. They are slightly sweet and coated with anise seed on the bottom giving it a fantastic, sweet, licorice, spice flavour and creating a delicious aroma. They are my favourite Christmas cookies.
For years I’ve been baking/decorating cakes for family & friends and I’ve just started selling them – got my 1st wedding cake order (for 150 guests) and this mixer would really come in handy since all I have right now is a hand mixer.
My annual Christmas Eve coconut cake. Yum! Happy Holidays.

i feel in love w/ kitchen aids at the tender age of 14 at my very first job in a cakery. a cakery, as you might have guessed, is like a bakery but just for cakes. lovely lovely cakes. i was never able to afford one of my own until i got married, but alas, we divorced and my ex used the kitchen aid daily for bread making, so i generously let him have it. it should be noted that the mixer was the only thing he got…

Cookies, Cookies, Cookies!!! My college daughters and I have a mad baking weekend, and everyone has a specialty. I’m in charge of powdered sugar sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting. My oldest is a traditionalist with toll house cookies – she refuses to stray from the Nestle’ recipe, saying if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. My youngest makes the most delicious molasses cookies. She refuses to eat them, because she says they smell “gross” while she is mixxing them up – but there would be grandparent mutiny if she failed to present them on Christmas morning. So…we girlies need us a Kitchen Aid Mixxer!!!!
I’m finally going to attempt to make French macarons! I fell in love with them when I studied abroad in Paris, and now my goal is to recreate my favorite flavors, like pistachio, raspberry, and chocolate (as well as more exciting ones once I get the hang of it!)

I plan to give this mixer to my husband. He is the baker in the house so to be honest, I have no idea what recipe he will make with it. He does however make some killer coffee cake so I can only hope, right?
Di
Batters galore! Cakes, cookies, frostings! Yum!

I would make Great Grandma’s divinity recipe, because one of the other cousins got her mixer and won’t share it with me. But I would also make some cinnamon rolls with white chocolate frosting for my mom for breakfast Christmas morning!
My friend is a wanna-be baker and invents wonderful things. She perfected a giant cookie recipe that her kids (high school age) take to school to eat between classes. They’re filled with wholesome, nutritious things so they’re nourished but are sweet enough to make then think they’re COOKIES! She has an industrial mixer and thus, her recipes are gigantic. I quartered her recipe for these cookies and they didn’t turn out so good. “No”, she says, “you have to make the whole batch or it doesn’t come out right”. Yeah. . . but with THIS mixer, I could!!! YAY!
I will make Hollandaise sauce. I love the thought of turning on and walking away to deal with the rest of the menu.

* Pinch salt
Carrot cake baby. And something savory to enjoy with a nice pinot.
My boyfriend is deathly allergic to peanuts so baking somtimes can be an issue as most things that are delicious have nuts! (or maybe that is just me because I am a nut lover) Anyways his mother is an AMAZING baker and makes candy cane cookies for him every Christmas that he just loves! I am hoping with the help of this Kitchen Aid mixer I can make his favorite peanut-free cookies just as good as his mother would! I NEED you Kitchen Aid!!!!

Italian sausage and the pasta to toss with it!
My son’s very favorite Fig cinnamon rolls with vanilla cream cheese frosting.. omg good!
I’m going to make my Mom’s famous sticky rolls. She made them for every holiday and she passed away in May, so now one of us has to take over this recipe. We missed them terribly at Thanksgiving.
I’m planning to make Swedish yule kaka (sweet Christmas bread) in honor of my mother-in-law, who died a few months ago, and a mixer like this would definitely help. I’ve never made it before and I’m kind of terrified that I’ll mess it up and disappoint the whole family.

HOO boy, do I hope I win this!! Rosemary olive bread, here I (hypothetically) come!
I’d make my signature Fruit cake – which involves batter that is thick and contains a lot of big chunks of fruit & nuts. The KitchenAid Mixer will save me the labor of hand mixing the stiff dough!
I will make some delicious cinnamon rolls with the dough hook.
I will use it to make lots of Christmas cookies.
If I win, this will be a Christmas gift to my mother…a KitchenAid Mixer is something she always dreamed of having. Therefore, I’ll let her decide what recipe to christen the mixer with first. I’d suggest some ooey, gooey cinnamon rolls

I am going to make Za’atar Whole Wheat Challah. yumm.
English Tea Muffins, spicy, Christmasey and an old family recipe.
For every almost recipe that I have, I would do that thing where you beat the egg whites separately, and then add them in to fluff things up. And I would make whipped cream, because it’s not even worth trying with a wooden spoon.
I would make amazing marshmallows, delicious mint marshmallows!!
Recipe? As in one? You want me to pick just ONE? But there are dozens of breads and cookies and cakes and so many other things I would LOVE to make with a new mixer!
I would use it for my cakes, pies and for the fresh whipped cream, lots and lots of whipped cream. What a fun giveaway. Merry Christmas.
sugar cookies, and whatever else I can manage to fix with a new baby.

A smoked salmon holiday braided bread for gifts and home as well.
Oh! I need this. Years ago I married too young into a tumultuous relationship and when I left him, he tore the back off my kitchenaid. A friend put it back together and the back is held on with a drywall screw that has been barely holding for 10 years now! The engine still goes, but it lags at times and it’s was so old to begin with that it never had a splash guard. This was very apparent last weekend making cookies. I double batch everything (because we cooks are feeders) and I was making chocolate chip cookies halfed with butterscotch chips. I don’t get my butter to room temp when creaming it because A, who does that really?? and B, you don’t need to with a paddle on your kitchenaid – just plop the 2 cubes in there and put on high. The catch is I have to put my hands over the top and be my own splash guard! Talk about butterfingers! So, yeah. I’d continue to make my cookies but lately I’ve REALLY been craving Smitten Kitchen’s black bottom cupcakes. I make them in mini size and pipe in the cream cheese center. With a new kitchenaid I could make enough for the entire office, my family AND send some to the hubby’s studio!
Good luck to everyone else entering too!
Major Christmas cookies, sugar, cranberry oatmeal cookies and of course chocolate chip!!!
I am going to make some awesome sourdough bread.
Some homemade peanut butter/nutella brownies. Mmmm…

oh, my, what i wouldn’t give to win one of those sweet babies!
i love to bake, but my arthritis makes hand mixing so difficult! definitely snickerdoodle cookies are on my list!
This would be a wonderful way for my mother and I to finally try and duplicate the recipe for homemade yeast rolls that my great-grandmother and grandmother made. They have both since passed, and we were unable to locate their written recipe. My mom and I have been trying to get the recipe just right for 2 years now at every holiday, with not much luck… I think it may be easier if we had a Kitchen Aid mixer instead of a hand mixer to help in the process.
I will make my MIL’s famous Christmas tree shaped cinnamon rolls. This is our first Christmas without her, so I will be carrying on the tradition in her honor for my son and husband’s sake.
I would make a chocolate present cake, complete with chocolate fondant wrapping and white chocolate ribbons on top!
Peppermint cupcakes. I know, in my heart, that this mixer would make them taste even better.
I have two girls in college and when they come back to visit on the holidays we make batches of cookies that my mother used to make with them when they were little. We usually start with a wonderful sugar cookie recipe that my mother fine tuned over her many years of teaching and we give them away to friends as gifts for what ever the occasion is. Then we move on to some of her other specialties that let us spend great times together, creating our own holiday memories.
I think the first thing I would make is a huge batch of Christmas cookies, but it would definitely come in handy when I make cheesecake for Christmas!
A double batch of cinnamon rolls.
Apple-cinnamon bread!

Much Love, PW!

I would love to attempt my mother’s infamously delicious Italian bread in a machine like this. It makes my heart warm just thinking about it!
I would let my boyfriend use it to make his fudge bars!

What a great giveaway! One fabulous recipe I would make with this mixer is
a recipe (below) from Martha Stewart. It’s a must for Christmas time at our house.
Chewy Chocolate-Gingerbread Cookies
Makes 2 dozen
7 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Directions
1.Line two baking sheets with parchment. Chop chocolate into 1/4-inch chunks; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cocoa.
2.In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and grated ginger until whitened, about 4 minutes. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Add molasses; beat until combined.
3.In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in 1 1/2 teaspoons boiling water. Beat half of flour mixture into butter mixture. Beat in baking-soda mixture, then remaining half of flour mixture. Mix in chocolate; turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Pat dough out to about 1 inch thick; seal with wrap; refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or more.
4.Heat oven to 325 degrees. Roll dough into 1 1/2- inch balls; place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Roll in granulated sugar. Bake until the surfaces crack slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
What wouldn’t I make? Man-o-man. The very first thing I would do is make chocolate chip cookies with my 2 sons. Then we would bake up a million loaves of bread!
Pizza Dough and Bread. Merry Christmas!
Cookies, cakes and so much more!
I would love to make oodles and oodles of cookies! Sugar, Gingerbread, Peanut butter, etc., my Christmas gifts would be extra special.
Will be making my moms Italian breads and cake recipes!!! WOOT!!

A Walnut and Date Pudding Cake, I believe, will be the first. It is a great Christmas cake and is soooo good. Then bread and cookies, cookies, cookies and more bread. Thank you once again for the opportunity and to you and your Family a Happy and Safe Holiday Season.
My grandmothers Coca Cola cake!
My sister has one of these, and she uses it constantly. I’m quite certain I would too. I would use it to teach me how to make all kinds of things. Bread, cakes, cookies, etc. Seeing the things I could do with this handy machine has be wishing I had this right now!
I will be making a Cherpumple- “the monster cake/pie” for my son Will’s 12th birthday! It is a 3 layer “cake” with whole pie baked into each layer. The first layer is a spice cake with an apple pie inside, the second is a vanilla cake with a pumpkin pie inside, and the third layer is a white cake with a cherry pie baked inside. It just sounds like a fun challenge and something any kid would LOVE! I just hope I can pull it off!!!!
I will make delicous homemade biscuits with this mixer!
I would make a four-layer chocolate Chambord cake with raspberry cream filling!
Challah. Fluffy, evenly kneaded challah.
This Kitchen-aid would give us the courage to attempt Julia Child’s Raspberry Ruffle Genoise cake.
Delicious homemade biscuits is what I will make with this mixer.
I’d start with White Chocolate Cherry Chunkie Cookies (Paula Deen). The dough becomes very difficult to work with by hand – a Kitchen Aid would make the task so much easier.
I would stop stealing my mom’s kitchenaid mixer to make massive amounts of chocolate mousse!
If I had a rad mixer like this, I’d probably actually make the Jalapeno Cheddar bread I’ve been wanting to make haha!
What else but chocolate chip cookies!
I want to make Christmas Rock Cookies with my kids! They ask to help every year, but this is the first year my daughter is actually old enough to help.

Your Guinness stout ginger cake; it’s absolutely delicious.
MONKEY BREAD.

Ever December, I host a cookie weekend – we make about a dozen kinds of cookies in 2 days in an open house setting. Friends come and go, enjoy cider or coffee and sample, decorate and make the goodies. This years cookies are sugar cookies, gingerbread men, lindzertortes, walnut filled pillows, whole grain gingersnaps, almond crescents, russian tea cakes, coconut macaroons, thumbprints, peanut butter cookies and pecan tarts. If you are free next weekend and in Virginia, come on by!

Everything! I have never had one of these mixers. First, I would make cinnamon rolls…and then
Cookies, Cakes and Breads! OH MY!
Umm…I have to pick just ONE thing?? ‘Cause it’s cookie season and we are in full swing here at Casa de Crazy. That beauty looks like it could handle one particular recipe of mine really well, though, so I’ll say Leftover Cookies (which are never left over) – the dough is dense, and my current mixer (which already has…issues…) doesn’t handle it very well at all. I can’t even make a full batch any more, have to do it in halves.
Today we’re making Snickerdoodles, if I can ever get motivated…
Shade and Sweetwater,
K
My son’s birthday cake for his first birthday party next week!

gingerbread cookies!
I would love to make the Soft Chocoalte Chip Cookie recipe on Allrecipes. It is my favorite to make for the holidays because they are so good and it leaves me with so many to give away. This is my first Christmas since I moved away from home and I have no stand mixer to make them with.
I would love to make gingerbread cupcakes with cinnamon molasses frosting! among many other things!! yummm
Guinness chocolate cupcakes with baileys irish cream frosting and ganache. Best. Recipe. Ever.
Hot Chocolate Cupcakes!!
I made them last night for the first time and they were such a hit that I have already had requests from all my friends!
I would make inside out carrot cookies and bread and injera and bubka and and and ….
Lots of bread. My husband keeps buying flour whenever a new recipe calls for it, so we have quite a cache. I need to start baking.
I will make lots of Christmas fruit cakes and take them to some homeless shelters to share with the less fortunate during this holiday season. Of course, my friends and loved ones will get some too.
WHAT won’t I make with this??? I guess I’ll start with the yummy orange dreamsicle cookie recipe I just got.
I would make my award winning, outstandingly delicious Ginger-Pumpkin Cheesecake!
)
I would make some new fancy dessert…everyday of the week!!
Cookies!!! Peppermint chocolate cookies…yummmmmm.
I’ve finally gotten to a wise and elegant age, and I am truly grateful. However, my arthritic hands are no longer able to knead the many varieties of breads and doughs that require they be lovingly pushed, pulled and prodded, before becoming the staple, with which we use to keep the tradition of “breaking bread” with our cherished friends and family. This beautiful mixer would allow me to continue on, albeit with mechanical assistance.
It would be given a loving home, and would be proud to be “the” tool that continues our year-round traditions, and allows us to share the very freshest and finest quality breads!! Thank you for this opportunity, and for all you do to educate!! Good cheer!!
I am going to make delicious Christmas cookies to take to the Children’s home and/or hospital and doggie cookies to take to the shelter.
More layer cakes and any intriguing recipe that says to use a stand mixer!
I’ll make my grandmother’s fabulous Tea Cakes. She used to make these all the time and keep the cookie jar by her back door filled. All of the grandchildren would make a stop by the back door on our way out to play.
Christmas cookies – chocolate crinkles or peanut butter blossoms.
Christmas cookies!!!
Chocolate chip cheesecake! Its a holiday necessity in our house

I wanna make meringue easily

I will try my hand at macaroons! I have been wanting to make them for a long time now! I will also make a nice loaf of gluten free cranberry bread!
Something yeasty !!
I would make Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls! So many recipes from so many sites call for a kitchen aid mixer!
Every two weeks (or so) I make my wife her favorite breakfast–Banana Wheat Muffins. I mix–by hand–the dough needed to make a double batch of over sized muffins. I freeze them in Ziploc bags and she heats one up for breakfast every morning.
It would be wonderful if I could use a new Kitchen Aid mixer to give my arms a break and to keep my wife smiling and the muffins coming.

Happy Holidays to you!
A super creamy cheesecake! No lumps!
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, aka “Grandma cookies”!
Without a hesitation, I would make my great granmothers recipe for Hungarian nut rolls. They are not only faaabulous tasting BUT for our family just the scent of them fills the house with wonderful, loving memories
My family’s annual Christmas log! My favourite part is making the meringue mushrooms. My mom and I eat more mushrooms than end up on the log.
oh my. I’ve been without a mixer so long it’s almost impossible to decide. I would probably make an unreasonable amount of bread and pizza dough and revel in the fact that i don’t have to knead it all by hand
Oreo balls! It’s not fancy, but it’s YUMMY!
I would be making all sorts of breads to give away as holiday treats. Dinner rolls would be a breeze! I also have a cinnamon roll recipe courtesy of the Food Network that I’ve been sitting on for a few weeks…

I’m going to make linzer cookies and vanilla crescent cookies.
Cinnamon rolls of course! It’s not Christmas without the scent of cinnamon in the air!
I’m making coconut cake!
My husband’s favorite; persimmon pudding!
Oh gosh! What wouldn’t I make with this beauty?? The first thing that I would whip up would be a batch of sugar cookie swirls. Make a batch of sugar cookie dough and divide in half. Put some red food coloring in one half and leave the other half white. Roll out both halves and stack one on top of the other. Tightly roll together to form a log. TADA! Your very own slice and bakes! Take that Pillsbury! Sprinkle with sanding sugar, throw in the oven, and after baking wrap them in cellophane and tie the ends off just like a peppermint candy!
wow!! The first thing I will make is my mom’s old divinity recipe. I have tried it several times and burned up 2 mixers so I just quit trying. This big boy looks like he could whip that divinity shame!

I would may my wonderful, tasty, delicious homemade pretzels. My poor mixer is on it’s last legs and I’ve been trying to go easy on it until spring time (tax refund time) to replace it. Of course I planned on replacing it with the exact model shown here! Thanks for the chance!

Definitely Banana Cream Pie, one of my favorite!
My grandfather’s Almond Horns. They are amazing!
I am going to try to make something simple yet delicious. I’m fairly new to baking so I’m going to perfect the basics, like the chocolate chip cookie. Seems so simple, but it’s a hard one to perfect. Considering I have to spin my current mixer by hand, naturally it would be nice to have one that rotates on it’s own
Cinnamon rolls!!
This would be so helpful for all the icing I find myself making with cakes and goodies during the holiday season!
I will make fab homemade marshmellows for my family for Christmas, it would make it easier since you have to whip them for 15 minutes and my hand mixer doesnt like to always be my friend when I am mixing them.
I am going to make Scottish Shortbread for all my family and friends!
I want to make lefse with my adult kids, spouses and grandbabies. I have my great-grandmother’s recipe. They lived in Astoria. She used to cook it, dry it and store it in old hat boxes until she was ready to use it. Then she would soften it between two tea towels, butter it and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Yum!
Ohh the possibilities are endless! Probably lots of cookies and breads. Maybe even some treats for the dogs.
If I had it 10 minutes ago, I would have used it to make the Hot Cocoa Cupcakes that I just put in the oven…If I have to wait…it’ll be Guinness Gingerbread!
I would actually give this mixer to my mother, who after having back surgery, could really use one! We will however, be making all of her mother’s classic recipes for Christmas-german chocolate cake, buckeyes, and date-nut fingers!
Are you kidding me??? The first thing would be the Bobby Flay coconut cake, followed by the Hot Chocolate cupcakes as the cake was cooking!! LOVE your site, just stumbled on it 2 weeks ago, and have blown up my printer!
Wow to think of only one is hard. However my first recipe would have to be peanut butter chocolate cookies because they are my boyfriends favorite! Tis the season for chocolate!
My mom LOVES cheesecake. It’s pretty much her downfall. I would definitely make her some cheesecake as part of her Christmas present. And then I’d probably make some Chocolate Bourbon Cake for myself. Lol.
Im going to make some type of fabulous
desert with this beauty!
I am going to make a variety of 4 to 5 cookies for cookie tins to give to neighbors, postman, etc. I usually have a cookie exchange every year, but will not have one this year due a death in the family.
I am craving chocolate mousse, so I’ll say that!
I would make honey whole wheat bread
I bought Christmas cookie cutters but have no stand mixer so I have not been able to make any cookies yet… this would solve all my problems!
I’d use it for a Bouche de Noel!
My Grandma’s famous lemon sugar cookies
My daughter and I will make her favorite raspberry walnut scones!
I’d make sandwich bread! I’m learning how to make it and I could really use a mixer =)
I would make sugar cookies with the boy my parents mentor that is an At Risk Youth at Phoenix Youth at Risk. Happy Holidays!
I’m going to give it to my mom (her old mixer is giving out on her) and she’s going to make hundreds of christmas cookies and give them away to everybody she knows (mailman included!)
Bread? Cookies? No idea. But I want one!
I can’t wait to make some monster cookies with it!
MMMM, I would LOVE to make my son gluten free brownies. He was diagnosed with autism a few years back now and we have heard such amazing things from others who have placed their autistic kids on gluten and casein free diets that we thought we have NOTHING to lose but to try it! We are not only going gluten and casien free but also preservative, color and additive free too! Unfortunately most of these special diet foods are homemade and organic which is ok but VERY time consuming. With more stores like Sprouts and Mother’s popping up though we are hoping it will get easier. Wish us luck!!!
I would whip up batches and batches of Italian Pizzelle cookies that I make for friends and family every year.
I’m not sure if I could really choose just ONE recipe to make with this, but probably the one thing I’d make in the near future would be my highly demanded carrot cake…I seriously have friends who will fight over the last piece. Hah! Plus, the 20-something year old mixer I’ve been using since I could see over the counter has seen better days and having a mixer like this would be my dream come true.
I would love this just in time to make tons of Christmas cookies. I have been surviving with the use of a hand mixer for way too long.
If I were to be blessed with winning this dreamed about “kitchen helper” I would use it to make my mom’s homemade Rum Pound Cake and her Coconut Cream Pie.
Merry Christmas!
I work at a bakery and recently had Panettone bread for the first time. It was “knock your socks off” amazing! It inspired me to look for a home recipe because I dream of this bread LOL. I would happily break in this beautiful mixer with this beautiful bread
more cookies! we’ve made about 450 so far but we have more to go!
I will probably make peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies….so good!!
Gingerbread! And cookies! And brownies! What won’t I make?
I would make Eggnog Bread!
Lots of bread!!!
Wow! I wouldn’t know where to start. I guess I would begin by making my friend (who is currently residing in Canada) some white chocolate dipped cranberry lemon biscotti. That is probably her second or third favorite dessert but the first one on the list that would survive shipping.
I am going to make chocolate chip cookies!
I would make ooey gooey cinnamon rolls. Or create some savoury, cheesy, herby breads!
I’m going to make a carrot cake with lots of cream cheese frosting. I have never owned such a nice mixer and am excited at the change to win one!! Merry Christmas!
I am going to make challah bread.
I have so many great cookie recipes to try!
So many great cookie recipes to try!
Hi! My name is Garrett and I am currently a college student at Elon University in North Carolina. Around my group of friends, I am known as the soccer mom, always cooking great food for my great friends. And this year, for a nice end of semester treat for my friends (and who am I kidding, for myself too!) I am planning on making my family’s scrumptious cranberry and toasted coconut cake! It is a delicious homemade yellow cake base with cranberries hidden inside that truly makes your mouth water by just smelling it slowly bake in the oven. Top that off with a sinful butter cream frosting and toss on some toasted coconut flakes, and you have yourself my favorite tropical holiday treat! It is so nice to have piece of island holiday happiness on a chilly winter day. And who knows, maybe I will pair it with your Cranberry Spiced Martinis! That sounds like a perfect pair, doesn’t it? Happy Baking and Happy Holidays Everyone!
I would love to make this recipe from The Pioneer Woman Cooks – Apple Cake in an Iron Skillet. Yum! http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/09/apple-cake-in-an-iron-skillet/

1 10oz pkg of chopped frozen spinach
1 14oz can of artichoke hearts, chopped & drained
1/2 c shredded Parmesan cheese

Pat
Christmas cookies….and lots of them! Thanks for a chance to win!
Oh, goodness. I think it would have to be a super moist fresh coconut cake with lemon curd-cream cheese filling and some amazing 7-minute marshmallow frosting.
Would it be too over the top to serve this yummy cake with a drizzle of bitter chocolate ganache on the plate? Maybe, but guess what – I’m going there!
I really want to win this for my mom! I have one. I would love to see what she created with it though. Thanks!
I really want to make some homemade marshmallows with this mixer. I’ve never made them and am DYING to try!
Angel food cake, so I can pretend it’s not the frigid winter.
I would make my grandmother’s (and mother’s) cranberry relish w/ oranges and apples. I only had a blender to make it w/ at Thanksgiving and it took me for freakin’ ever! It would be a breeze w/ a real mixer, because I’m sure it comes w/ great attachments. Thanks so much–love all your posts!
My favorite holiday biscotti…cranberry and toasted hazelnut!
Gluten free breads! Yum! and so much easier with a mixer!
Oh man, what WOULDN’T I make? Every Christmas, I like to make cookie packages for the people in my life and workplace, and every year I tend to go a bit crazy with the volume of cookies produced. This year, I plan on trying ten different recipes, from coconut macaroons, to French-style macarons, to peanut butter balls, speculaas, and so much more!
But really, the main thing I would love this mixer for is my oma’s oliebollen recipe–after Christmas (oma being grandma in Dutch). My favourite treat from my youth, this Dutch classic fritter is a traditional fried dough served on New Year’s. I inherited my oma’s recipe last winter, and they turned out awesomely well, but the mixing was definitely a hassle. You can find the full recipe and related experience here:
http://olliebollen.wordpress.com/?s=olliebollen+redux
After the winter’s done, I’ll likely attempt a pavlova once more, as well. Whip that meringue!

Therefore, I would use this FAB machine to conquer cheesecake and hold my own during the holidays!
I would make pavlova meringues and whipped cream to go with them!!
clearly, cinnamon rolls!
A red velvet cheesecake with vanilla cream cheese frosting for Christmas Eve and a spice cake with vanilla buttercream frosting for Christmas. My mom has always wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer but hasn’t allowed herself the luxury of buying one so it would be great to not only surprise her with the mixer but some delicious treats too! And then we would bake lots and lots of cookies and pies because we love spending time in the kitchen together : )
Marshmallows!!!
Hot Chocolate Cookies!! and other holiday favorites
All my kids favorite things.
I’ll make Slovakian apricot cookies. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

If I win this kitchenaid mixer I will be gifting to my best friends. SHE: loves to bake but cannot make any of her family’s cookie recipes without a stand mixer. HE: Loves to cook, but not to bake, and he constantly bugs her about baking cookies for him. THEREFORE: SHE can’t make the cookies, HE doesn’t get to eat the cookies, and I have to listen to them playfully bicker about it. I would love to present my best friends with the gift of COOKIES for the holidays.
pumpkin chocolate chip “gobs” (or whoopie pies for the rest of the world) with cream cheese icing! yummy!!!
Pumpkin muffins!

Uh, Chocolate Sheet Cake? Actually, I’m just trying to win one of these for my nieces. I have two nieces and they’re “fighting” for my Mother’s Kitchen Aid mixer. LOL.
Since I know which one will get my Mother’s mixer, I would so love to give one to the other, who also happens to be my Goddaughter.
So, this means I won’t be using this mixer if I win. It’ll be a gift.
omg! Just mentioned to the wife I wanted Santa to bring me one of these! – I told her to tell him to hold off a day…..
I want to make artisan breads which we love and you just can not get the same results in a bread machine.
I want to make Chocolate Babkas!
Pick me! Pick me! I want this magnificent mixer to make bread. I stopped buying bread because nothing beats homemade, but this would make life soooo easy. I would make scones and cakes and cookies and maybe I’ll gain 200 pounds, but I’ll use it for spreading joy… I promise!!
hmmmmm let’s see. I know! A birthday cake for myself!!
come on Cathy…this would be a Rockin birthday present
btw, got your card today…..adorable!!
I am going to make your Fabulous Hot Chocolate Cupcake if I win this or not….they look delish!
I would absolutely try my hand at making my own bread. And probably some cinnamon rolls because that would be delicious on Christmas morning!
Hello! I’m sorry for my English, I’m writing from Switzerland. First, I love so much your site NP! And my fabulous recipe will be the one of the “Cake with caramelized pears” (recipe by Joel Robuchon, famous french chief). All my friends love this cake, and I find it hard to give this recipe when they ask me for – I just want they to come eat this cake at my home.
I am a horrible baker, but I will attempt to make a batch of cheddar jalepno biscuts. Pick me. Pick me.
I would make Noble Pig Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies!! It would have been so much easier to make those for my cookie party last week had I had one!!
I would make the best pizza dough from scratch on the planet!
First I will make those Hot Chocolate Cupcakes you posted, then I will make my husband his favorite – a marble cake with chocolate frosting!
I am going to make chocolate chocolate cream cheese cupcakes.
I recently received a Martha Stewart Cupcake cookbook, so mixing batter will be a priority!
i plan on making lots of bread and cookies
I’m going to make cinnamon rolls! I love making bread in a a mixer because it does most of the work for me. It’s wonderful to have the help! There aren’t many things that beat homemade cinnamon rolls.
Pizzelles! Way too much work without one!!
I honestly think a better question would be what WON’T I make? I miss baking so very much that I’ll probably make tons of cupcakes, cookies, and cakes, not to mention divinities, fudge, and other delicious treats with the candy thermometer my lovely boyfriend got me for my birthday!
Gingerbread biscotti. It’s the first thing I’m making as soon as I get out of this dorm room and home for the holidays!
Cookies! Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chunk, gotta try the fruitcake cookies….All sorts of goodies!
I’m going to make cookies, and lots of them!
Divinity. Yum!
I can’t even begin to tell you what I’d make! From cinnamon rolls, to sweet bread, to biscuits and Christmas cookies obviously! The stand up mixers remind me of cooking with my mom during the holidays. I miss it quite alot.
I will make my fabulous chocolate Italian cream cake! Ooooh, and some pecan sticky buns! What a great gift! Thanks for doing this!
I am excited to try any bread recipe in this stand mixer! I think I will start with a brioche!!!
Pumpkin Bars! YUM!
My favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe!
I have 4 birthdays coming up around Christmas and the first of the year, so I need a mixer for all those Bday cakes!First one to make is a yummy pumpkin layer cake.
I’m going to make herb bread. Yum!
I am so excited. I am teaching myself to bake (it is harder than you think, at least for me) and I try to find recipes with unique ingredients. I made a chocolate cake with beets once and no one knew!!! How fun, and healthier too. I would make avocado cream cheese cookies. But don’t tell anyone……. I am so excited!
chocolate ginger cake
only one! how will I choose? this kitchen aid will be perfect for the Paula Dean Coconut Cake I make every year for our Christmas Eve Family Celebration!
I would love to make my great bubbies rugelach recipe she carried from Russia to America during WWII.
I would be beyond ecstatic if I won this contest. I’m a full time student at university in Davis, Ca and cant afford such luxuries. This would make my culinary endeavors much easier.
Thank you for the consideration.
Meringues and creme brulee!
I’d make noodle dough for homemade noodles! I love homemade noodles, but they’re so hard to mix by hand.
I would make homemade pizza dough every week!!
If I win this delightful KitchenAid, I will first make red velvet cakewaffles. Then, I will make shortbread, and finally, I will make pizza dough.
My current mixer was $9 at a rummage sale. It gets the job done, but is not as lovely as a KitchenAid!
Breads, lots and lots of breads.
I would make my favourite olive bread, it would be fantastic to not have to knead by hand. What a great start to the holidays that would be!!!!!!
I would make some yummy french butter cookies…
I will make my grandmother’s pound cake which really uses a pound of butter, flour and sugar!!
I want to finally make marshmallows!
I would definitely make Irish Car Bomb cupcakes! Yum!

Homemade rolls and yummy bread.
I would make oatmeal clove cookies! I love them so much and I’ve been mixing them by hand, which takes half an hour! It’s time for a mixer!
If I had that mixer, I would make my grandmother’s cinnamon bread. I’ve been putting it off because kneading by hand is a PAIN. She had a KitchenAid and it made it so easy.
My moms espresso biscotti! True story- 7 years ago I missed the bus to school. How does this relate? Well, since I missed the bus I ended up walking home to my very upset mother. You see, she had planned on waiting in line to buy such a mixer at a HUGE closeout sale across town. Instead she drove me to school- and arrived at the store just in time to see the last mixer be swiped off the shelf. As my punishment she has made me mix the biscotti dough every Christmas! (it has a similar viscosity as drying cement). I’m in college now and the woman still curses that day I missed the bus. She’s lucky her recipe is so delicious!
The fabulous recipe I’m excited to make with this KitchenAide mixer is my boyfriend’s FAMED gingerbread cookies. Perfect for the holidays
i would totally make some delicious baked goods, either brownies or cookies mmmm
Molasses cookies. The best cookies ever, my husband’s great aunt’s recipe-the holidays just aren’t the same without them. Also, pizza dough, an everyday must-have recipe!
If I had that fabulous kitchen aid, I would experiment with massive amounts of cupcakes and cookies. It would inspire me for holidays, birthdays, and just every day sort of recipes that I’ve struggled to make before without a mixer, and eventually maybe I could make some great things to go in my bakery – which is myself and my sister’s dream.
Lots of bread! Plus double batches of PB Chocolate Chip Oaties!
I would make my favorite chocolate ginger cookies! I’m planning to make several batches to give as gifts to family, friends, classmates, and coworkers.
I am going to make my famous “No, brownies don’t just come from mixes”! They are to die for! Thanks!
I will endeavor to make the best, freshest homemade sourdough bread for all my friends, along with some home-made sweet butter… mmmm….
Sticky Toffee Pudding!
I couldn’t pick just one so…I’d make tons of bread and rolls, cakes, candy and my favorite cupcakes!!!
I would make peanut butter blossom cookies just for my brother. Man, does he love those cookies!
Where do I start? There are so many things I could do with a mixer of this quality. It would be a focal point of my countertop and used frequently. Cannot wait to receive it (I hope)!
I would make my mother’s double chocolate peanut butter chip cookies!
I want to make my grandmas homemade coconut layer cake that she makes with 5 layers. This would make it so much easier!
The fabuous recipe I would make would be:
Dark chocolate cheesecake lollipops coated in white chocolate and sprinkled with candy cane pieces.
I tried making cheesecake without a mixer and it was too lumpy! I want that velvety smooth texture
Seitan, pumpkin butter, and other vegan tasty treats!
At least five different recipes from this website, and all of them DECADENT.
I’m going to make christmas cookies to relieve my mom of all the added stress!! I’ll be making knots, to-tos, chocolate crinkles, snickerdoodles, 7 layer bars, chocolate chip, peanut butter, cut-outs, apricot cookies, and pumpkin cookies!! I can’t wait for the baking to begin, and I’m looking forward to eating them for breakfast christmas morning!!
Bread. I searched out some recipes on line and I would make bread. And cookies. Maybe a cake. Yeah, bread, cookies and a cake.
I’d use that gorgeous mixer to make a nice, simple yellow cake with chocolate icing.

White chocolate peppermint cheesecake & cookies.
My Aunt’s Chocolate Cake with Fudge Icing, then some cookies, then maybe my grandmother’s pound cake recipe…. I LOVE to bake! I’d be happy to share some of my recipes if I win
I think I would have to make something crazy-good, like the Smokey Sweet Potato Souffle that I made from NoblePig, with all the bacon and chipotle and maple syrup!
I would make Pumpkin Cheesecake and spice Orange Cupcakes.
I will make a delicious and beautiful pumpkin streusel tart with bourbon sour whipped cream. I would use the Kitchen Aid to make 1. the dough 2. the filling 3. the streusel topping and 4. the whipped topping!! YUMMY!!!!
I would make my mom’s anadama bread and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!!
I would make my family’s traditional Latvian bacon rolls, Pierogs.
Cookies!
I sat and thought for a while on what I’d make with a new Kitchenaid Mixer. Lobster foam this, decontrcuted that, sauce bases, ginger beer and lemongrass breads …. whatever. I LOVE cooking all of that “stuff”, but in the end, if I truly saw that a blessing fell on me and my family in getting such a great gift, I’d realize it wouldn’t be about what greatness would come out of that silver bowl – it’d be about being at home, in love, with my wife and little girl. My answer? Chocolate chip cookies.
I want to experiment with baking bread. I would use the dough hook attachment.
Hot chocolate cupcakes!! Pay it forward.
I enjoy cooking but love baking! I especially enjoy baking cupcakes with my kids. I would use this mixer to make a variety of cupcakes…red velvet, chocolate-peanut butter, and spice buttercream…good treats and great times! What a great giveaway!
cookies!
I’d love to win this mixer to make biscotti for my father-in-law. He loves them and requests that I make them for him every Christmas!
I’m going to make cinnamon raisin bread! Its a family favorite!
HOMEMADE Cinnamon Rolls. I’ve always wanted to make them but have never tried!
I’d most likely whip up a few more batches of marshmallows to share with the people at work
Bread! Cinnamon rolls! COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!! The real question is, what WON’T I make with it?
I have been dying to try and make some carrot cake and cream cheese icing!!!
