Breville Mixer Giveaway!

December 2, 2010

mixer

Your hair looks pretty today.  I totally love your shoes.  Those pants make your butt look incredible.  Can I borrow that scarf?

Today is a great day.  Dang near everything is stars and roses.

Today is the day that I get to offer you a super fine, extra swell, kicka*s mixer!  Yea.  This is totally a big deal.

The generous people of Chef’s Catalog would like you to have this GORGEOUS 5-quart Breville mixer.  This thing is an absolute powerhouse.  I suspect that it’ll get you through some major holiday baking, be the prettiest thing in your kitchen, make your husband do a double take, help raise your children, and become your absolute favorite baking tool.  These are my predictions.

Now!  How do you win this darling?

This is a two part process:

Leave a comment with this post AND send me a picture of you with your favorite kitchen tool.  Maybe you’re really into your whisk or your cast iron skillet.  Hold that puppy up and say cheese.  I want to see your shining face.  Send your picture to joythebakergiveaway at gmail dot com and you’re entered to win.

Winner will be selected by random.org and giveaway ends Saturday December 4th at midnight.

  • Oh my, what a wonderful thing! It would look awfully nice in my tiny kitchen.

    Regards,

  • Oh yeah. Love the look of that beauty.
    Photo is on the way.

    Having a mixer would make me feel so grown up. And then I could make angel food cake without enlisting all my neighbors to help beat the egg whites! My favorite utensil now is my WMF nonstick ball whisk. Use it in a pan, use it in a bowl, and it cleans up super easily.

  • I have made a deal that I won’t by a new mixer till my student loans are paid off & I only have a hand mixer now. So please pick me.

  • My friend has this mixer and I LOVE IT! Help me make her jealous with your recipes and this mixer!!

  • YAY! Whoever wins this one will be one lucky baker!

  • Oh.My.Goodness. This mixer looks like the perfect accompaniment to baking gods and goddesses….I would love it! I’m sending you my picture…maybe it’s kind of lame but I loooooove my lemon/ginger/cheese zester/grater. I have never found something that works so good for citrus zest….wicked!

  • Oh dear, I am sending you a picture of ME with MY zester too. Because I also love it. And I hadn’t even read the comment above mine before I took my picture. I guess it just proves the genius of the folks over at the Microplane company!

  • I dream of having a mixer like that. Someday!

  • Hmmm…the rubber spatula, the cute measuring spoons, or the make-me-smile apron. I think I’ll have to say the measuring spoons followed by the apron.

    ps. the photo of your kitten sniffing the corner made me laugh…thanks

  • Hey Joy,
    I’m sending you a picture of my cherubs.. because they are my favorite kitchen tools. Whatever recipe they make it better whether it’s taking 5 hours to make cookies or spilling the flour on the floor, I adore them. I hope they love baking as much as I loved doing it with my mom.

    Sorry for the sappy post. Eh.. it’s the holiday sugar rush I guess
    Cheers,
    Sarah J

  • What a beauty!

  • I sent my photo with a different e-mail than the one I posted my comment from. My 3 year old would is my favorite kitchen accessory. I’ve turned baking into therapies for him. He has a genetic syndrome called 16p11.2 duplication and is autistic. We can get him to speak, pour, mix, and touch things he wouldn’t normally while baking. He loves to help mommy :)

  • So handy for bread baking! Sending a lovely picture of me with my favorite wooden spoon. It’s so very handy.

  • Wow! What a generous prize! Thank you so much for an exciting month — I’ve looked forward to checking out your blog everyday. You do a wonderful job — keep it up :)

  • Holy smokes! I’m crossing my fingers, my toes, and–I don’t know, maybe all of my tendons? Ew. A very colorful snapshot is on its way. You’re going to have one full inbox!

  • My favorite tool, ironically enough is my mixer – but it is my Kitchen Aid stand variety. Best gift I ever gave myself. I used it tonight at the annual cookie frosting marathon with my sister and mom. If I win the new beauty, my mom reminded me, since she took my picture with it, she aught to inherit the Kitchen Aid:) Thank you for the opportunity!

  • thanks, wooden spoon. love you.

    i ate way too much sugar today and now i regretttt ittttt….

    though those cupcakes look amazing.

  • So Im a low budget cook. I dont have the fancy gadgets, but I did recently splurge on a super cute apron that looks like a dress. Im sending you one of me in it, self-portrait shot, and then one of just the apron so you can get the full effect.

  • This is awesome. I’d love to have it. I could do some serious kitchen stuff with that.

  • I’m always whisking everything! A stand mixer is on my christmas list. I would love an early christmas though!

  • I love my pastry blender…but I would love this thing more! Photo is on the way :D

  • mele kalikimaka! I love my bunts…

  • So shiny and new, I am currently using my mother’s 1965 Kitchen with bowl that no longer fits in the grooves. It would be so cool to have a new mixer for the holidays!!!

  • Oh, man…I have major mixer envy! Mine is okay, but it smells a little bit…erm…smoky when I make too big a batch of something. Photo is on the way!

  • This beautiful appliance would make my life complete!!!

  • Done and Done!!!! every finger is crossed for this one :)

  • Ahhh, that would make my kitchen so happy. LOL! :-)

    I posted a photo of my “rolling pin”. Its an empty muscadine wine bottle my grandfather gave me a few years ago. He used it to make biscuits. Now I use it to make biscuits, scones, cookies, pie crusts, etc. I love it ’cause it reminds me of my Papaw.

  • What I could do with the silver beast in my kitchen. No butter is safe from the moment it is my home.

  • I would LOVE this mixer. I don’t have a professional one by any means so this would be perfect. but if I don’t win, congrats to the lucky winner! Love your blog Joy!
