We promised you a stand mixer, and yes we’re a day late, but can you blame us? It’s summer.
But here we are giving you — well, not all of you, just one very lucky you — a KitchenAid Stand Mixer in our very favorite color, TasteSpotting White™ (hey, if Martha can have a signature color, so can we!)
HOW TO ENTER
There is but one step to enter this giveaway, and even though Mrs. Galayda in 5th grade taught us never to make a numbered list if there’s only one thing:
1. Answer this question in the comments section of this post: What is the first thing you are going to make with your own KitchenAid® Stand Mixer?
We can’t wait for someone else to get his/her very own Mixer and love it and hug it and squeeze it and name it “Hello Kitch-y” like we did. Trust me, once you have your own, naming your Stand Mixer won’t sound weird to you at all.
IMPORTANT STUFF FROM SARAH
Winner will be chosen at random. We’re not sure when, so it’s best to just enter now (but we’re thinking at least 24 hours, but you know how we are at TasteSpotting).
Please enter only once. That means once per person, not you and your multiple internet personalities with different email addresses.
No, I have no way of enforcing this. You could lie but trust me *singsong voice* I will find out. I have been mercilessly deceived before and you know the saying…Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, and I S-W-E-A-R (that’s “promise” for those of you who can’t spell) that I will detox my weigh to a mere 3 pounds just so I can crawl through the Internet to your kitchen and use a citrus reamer on you in ways that wouldn’t be considered sexy.
(Besides, TasteSpotting is going to have lots of gifts to give away the rest of this summer. Oh did I forget to mention that? :) )
Good luck!
This giveaway is lovingly sponsored by KitchenAid.

Definitely some homemade bread! NOM!
I’ll be making peanut butter chocolate chip blondies….sounds good :) Thanks for the giveaway offer!!
The first thing I am going to make with my own KitchenAid Stand Mixer is hazelnut meringues with chocolate on top.
Cheeeesecaaaaake!
The first thing I would make would be some fresh bread. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats fresh bread. Except maybe coconut macaroons. So, maybe that instead. I don’t know!
The first thing I’ll make is chocolate-peanut butter ganache cake!
Sarah! What fun. I’d make chocolate chip scones. :)
I think would whip up some fluffy dinner rolls, and possibly some soft pretzel dough… anything bread related really!
Definitely sticky buns! :)
A lemon hazelnut ricotta cake. Making this cake by hand just doesn’t cut it!
cake and frosting! Every time I make cake I wish I had one of these to make my life easier.
Fresh whipped cream so I can dip strawberries in it.
Plan on sticking to a tried & true classic – lemon meringue pie!
Love inspired cake for my boyfriend’s birthday!
If I was lucky enough to win this mixer, the first thing I’d make would be homemade frosting. Few things are as delicious as from-scratch, super fluffy chocolate frosting. :)
Pizza dough!
It depends on the week! Every week I make a new dessert for my blog (cooking my way through all the National Food Holidays). So if it’s next week, maybe some peanut butter cookies. July – maybe some basic sugar cookies. August – crust for the many pies it looks like I’ll be making!
I would make bread first, as I have tried to hand knead countless times, as well as use a breadmaker to make dough, with varied success. I’m pretty sure I would make Hokkaido Milk Bread!
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Maybe even with dried cranberries.
Cupcakes!!
I’d have to say if I won a kitchen aide stand mixer (which my grandmother has in harvest yellow from the 60′s with a glass bowl attachment) I would make beer bread with my absolute favorite microbrewery beer; the Belmont Brewery’s Strawberry Blonde.
No Bake Cookies…For sure! MMMMMMM
Mmmmm! Sicilian chocolate gelato!

Snickerdoodle Muffins! :)
it would be a tiramisu cake for me *sigh*
Lemon Olive oil ice cream….mmmmmm boy!
Let’s see, I would make cinnamon rolls first.
My go-to for summer is a lemon pound cake with fresh blueberries (in a bundt pan so it’s cute). Hopefully I win! :)
It will have to be a classic victoria sponge, harking back to my childhood. Nothing quite beats it when it comes to cakes!
I’m not sure what I’ll make first, but I think it would be a bread product of some kind!! Yum! Or maybe it will be tamales.
Wow – it would be incredibly difficult to choose – I’m getting giddy just thinking about it! If I had to choose I would say bread – kneading by hand is a real chore – it’s the only think that keeps me from making bread more often!
The first thing I would make is a cheesecake!
Lemon meringue pie. No doubt. Yum- perfect for summertime!
Hmm… Something quick so I could eat it fast!! Cookies… peanut butter ones!
macarons in all rainbow colors!
Definitely some vanilla whipped cream to eat with all the wonderful summer fruit that is about to come to the farmer’s market.

Ohh– probably my favorite Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting!
Yum!
Big batches of cream cheese frosting to top 20 dozen red velvet cupcakes I’ve been asked to do for a friend’s wedding. A KA would really come in handy!
I would make Whoopie!!! Whoopie Pies, that is! Some yummy off the wall flavor! :)
Banana walnut bread!
a CRAZY cake. That’s its name!
And German Chocolate Frosting.
I’d love to make some shortcake with my new KitchenAid Standing Mixer, to be served with some fresh farmers’ market strawberries.

I would make a cake with my daughter!
The first thing I would make is CUPCAKES, of course!
Cookies!
I would make some home made bread! Would love to have to have a kitchenaid mixer.
The first things I would make is to mix up some meatballs and then make a Blue Ribbon Carrot Cake and frosting. So good!
brownies!!! I know, not very imaginative but we just love them around here.
Peanut butter cookies! Because I make them so often with my little hand mixer, it would be a HUGE relief to get to step back and let the stand mixer do all the work! :D
Definitely some kind of cookie batter that I wouldn’t bother to bake — always tastes best uncooked.
I’m having a “Dessert Only Party” and definately making Coeur a la Creme with a Raspberry Coulis for starters!
I would make something involving fluffy egg whites since I’ve never owned a mixer before and haven’t been able to whip them up in the past. Maybe coconut macaroons!
Ice creaaaaaam!!! Lots of it! With all the seasonal fruits I can get my hands on.
Soft Pretzels, I think!
I’ve been on a Low Carb Diet since January and have not baked a thing with my itty-bitty little person. And since I’ve wanted a stand mixer for a very long time, I’ll bake berry filled cupcakes that she’s been asking to make … ooh, i have been CRAVING home-made ooey- gooey, warm-from-the-oven cinnamon rolls. I’d make that! My dad’s birthday is coming up and he likes coconut jelly cake. I could make that from scratch! Too many choices!
balsamic strawberry shortcakes for my boyfriends birthday!
Wow.. tough decision on what would be first.
I’ll have to go with dark chocolate cheesecake with a raspberry glaze.
Chocolate Ravioli with strawberry dipping sauce. A little square of heaven for nibbling on a picnic.
Some kind of yummy dessert! Maybe some chocolate oatmeal cookies
I will be making Don Farmer’s Fresh Apple Cake from “The New James Beard” cookbook. And of course whipping up some fresh cream to dollop the top with.
anything that requires perfectly beaten egg whites – so hard to do with a dinky hand held mixer!
My specialty is cinnamon rolls (go figure) with cream cheese icing. They take forever and are fiddly but I keep making them because my family and all my friends love them!
I’d make some cranberry scones for a nice Sunday breakfast. Yum.
I’d make almond florentines!
Anadama Bread!
I’ve been promising my coworkers a double chocolate Italian cheesecake for ages, and that would be the perfect thing to christen it with!
I’d make cheesecake. :D

Individual chocolate lava cakes. Soft peaks!
pie dough for a summer pie!
ANGEL FOOD CAKE!
Chocolate bread with dried cherries.
Not to be unoriginal but bread all the way. When I knead by hand I make bricks!!
I think it would have to be a layer cake. It just seems fitting for the occasion.
Homemade bread!!! There is nothing better in the whole universe!
I love baking! There’s nothing I find more relaxing and enjoyable than whipping up something delish to share with the family and friends at least 3 times a week(lucky them, right?!). The first thing I would make on that beautiful masterpiece that ive always dreamed of owning would be an amazing Vanilla Bean Flan Cake that everyone is always begging me to make. It’s a delicious layer of flan baked with a layer of cake on top…it’s possibly the best dessert you could ever put in your mouth. Delicious moist, vanilla speckled cake over custardy flan, drizzled with decadent caramel or if preferred, which I love, drizzled with a raspberry sauce and fresh raspberry’s. Do I have you drooling? I have myself drooling! So that’s the first thing I would make if I won. Im going to keep my fingers crossed! And if anyone whose tasted my cake finds out I entered this contest they are going to force you to pick me to win as it’s been about a month since ive made that cake for anyone.
bread! I love fresh baked bread.
Bananarama muffins

I had hubby drive all the way to Toledo Ohio to get a piece of turtle cheesecake that Ihad seen posted on a friends page this is all i wanted for my birthday !!!!!!! got there to visit family only to find out you needed to pre order the cake 1 week in advance so i never got the cheesecake :( So i would try making it myself it looks so yummy

Overload Chocolate Cake!

Brioche!
Sticky Buns!
My Grandma’s air buns!!

Pizza dough!
I would make my homemade calzone dough. I have not had a quality mixer for some time and have not been able to make it.
Hmm… Probably bread dough. Sometimes I enjoy using my Danish dough whisk, and other times I wish I had a stand mixer…
Brownies ftw!
The first thing I am going to make is a strawberry-wähe (a belgian strawberry tarte)
I’ve been dying to try Whipped’s recipe for Liege waffles (http://whippedtheblog.com/2010/03/15/liege-sugar-waffles-perfected/). With a new mixer, there would be no excuse for not going on a pearl sugar hunt.
omg, I’ve been SO wanting one of these but with 2 kids, other costs always trumped the mixer. =/ the first thing I’d make is my son’s faaavorite – red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and i’ll even share some with you! =P
I would make blintzes with amaretto mascarpone cream. Yum!
I am going to make two awesome coffee cakes, one of them to share.
Honestly, I know this is boring, but I’d just make a regular batch of bread. Anytime I try to make bread by hand, I can’t seem to get the knack of kneading, and it doesn’t rise the way it should. I can’t wait to see the difference in a real mixer.
I have to say Macaroons. I have never tried making them, and a new Kitchenaid will most definitely inspire me to try!!
mmmm marshmallows
I’m thinking homemade pizza dough. Or maybe cheesecake. Or both!
whole-wheat homemade bread! I seriously need a mixer for this job!! :-)
opera cake, 3 ways!
Carrot cake or I may have to run out and buy the pasta, sausage, juicer attachments and go absolutely CRAZY!
I’d make the Beer Cake. I’ve had that recipe open in my browser for days and it’s just calling out to be made. I’d just need to find a nice, exotic beer from my website.
oh how i would love to win this, even though my teeny tiny NY apartment will barely fit it, I will make room!!
I have been dying to make this fresh strawberry layer cake that I saw on Gourmet Traveller.. decadent layers of almond sponge cake interlaced with fresh strawberry and citrus cream.. YUM!!
http://gourmettraveller.com.au/strawberry_layer_cake.htm
Cinnamon Rolls!!!! Yummmm
Cream puffs!
My grandmother’s dinner rolls, she FINALLY gave me the recipe. I have been begging for years. I’d love to be able to recreate a part of my childhood. Words cannot begin to describe how amazing these rolls are. First of all, they are giant! (and flaky, light, buttery…and did I mention yummy?!)
mixing up dough for sure.
Oh my gosh! I would make basil french bread…yum!
A birthday cake for a loved one :)
I have wanted one of these for so long, it’s nearly impossible for me to decide what I would try first! Homemade spinach pasta? Tres leches cupcakes? Homemade challah? Pizza with homemade dough? So many possibilities! I think I’d probably start with pasta. I’m a total pasta nut :)
something for my mom and granny who taught me how to use one of these in the first place… or better yet, i’ll make something WITH them. so much love is shared in the kitchen!
I was going to say oatmeal chocolate chip cookies . . . but now I’m thinking naan after reading that post.

I think I would make perfectly smooth roasted garlic mashed potatoes….
Swedish sponge cake with egg frosting.

frosting!!! a mixer is so essential for making homemade frosting =)
What is the first thing you are going to make with your own KitchenAid Stand Mixer?
Chocolate chip cookies from Ad Hoc (sllightly modified)
The first thing i will make is everyone else around me Jealous! (oh snap!)
Well that and sea salt chocolate chip cookies with chunks of bacon
I would use it to make bread, and then some homemade butter to go with it.
I never win contests but if I DID win this one, I’d use my new Kitchen Aid mixer to start baking fresh bread every weekend.

http://www.cookinglight.com/food/top-rated-recipes/5-star-frozen-desserts-00400000050987/page8.html
I would attempt to make Challah… so then my girlfriend could make some Creme Brulee French Toast. Double whammy.
Vegan carrot-banana bread
I’m making my recipe for Crunchy Yummy Cookies or Breakfast Cookies. Really stiff doughs are tough to mix.
I will definitely throw down with a bread recipe and break in the mixer with some kneading!
Oh, I have been coveting one of these and wishing for one to magically appear in a second hand store…but if I were fortunate enough to win a shiny new one, I would first make my absolute favorite date bars that my grandmother always used to make for me, and I would share them with everyone I love.
Breakfast sausages!
I’d get back into the fun world of Bauernbrot (German farm-bread). Many, many iterations of the stiff dough has ravaged my old 3-qt mixer; it sounds like a concrete mixer full of legos. :(
A great big three-layer celebration cake, of course! Shiny new KitchenAids are definitely reason enough to celebrate.
Marshmallows!
A towering cake with lots of Swiss meringue buttercream frosting!
Oh – my – the first of many things….I’m going to cream some butter to make some yummy cookies!!
I’d buy the ice cream attachement and make Ice cream!!!
I would make meringue cookies
I’ve been wanting to make a labor intensive cheesecake recipe and think it would be so much easier with one of these!!
Some homemade golden raisin walnut bread! The KitchenAid makes bread baking SO much easier!
Ouhhh the first thing I want to make is some brioche! So much easier to kitchenaid it then mix by hand.
A golden butter yellow cake. My favorite!
I recently fell off a ladder, broke my wrist and elbow along with some ribs and have been craving chocolate chip cookies! The only problem is, I have food allergies to everything! I can’t have neighbors cook/bake for me because it is never safe enough. With a KitchenAid I could possibly make those gluten-free, soy free, dairy free cookies and not have to use both hands!!! Yum, I can taste them now!
I’ll make some marshmallows, strawberry to be precise. That needs 15 minutes of beating and you know I’m not doing that by hand!
A German Chocolate Cake!!!
I’m going to make compost cookies a la milk bar!
A “Better than sex cupcake” definetely. :)
pasta dough
Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls
Would love to try making the Strawberry Pavlova recipe you posted! It looks incredible!!!
Chocolate chip cookies for my S.O. who is in Afghanistan (they’re his favorite). Then I’d come up with some excuse to make Italian meringue buttercream, making it with a hand mixer is a pain.
I would make a huge celebration gluten free cake!
Some out of this world Ciabatta Bread with the dough hook attachment!
I’m going to make cookies. Lots of cookies. Cookie dough is such a huge pain if you don’t have a proper mixer, which I don’t! Gingerbread men, sugar cookie stars, double chocolate chip, and on and on and on!
I’m going to make the cake I served everyone at my wedding 5 years ago, Kahlua Toffee Cake with Kahlua Whipped Cream, so moist and decadent!
i’m going to make some buttercream frosting!
~~~~~~~Yummy double chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches~~~~~~~~~~
Using the ice cream attachment to make my own ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to make Devil’s Food cake!
I would make some fluffy buttercream frosting and eat it plain!!! Just light and sweet goodness in my mouth! :)
I’ll make blood sausages out of the blood of a virgin swine and lost lamb. Season it with my entire collection of Knorr seasonings that are probably 5 years rancid. Then serve the whole sausage shebang at my BizarreBQ I’ll be having the weekend before July 4th, so rush that meat mixer over to me ASAP. My BBQ is at stake. Get it? Holy!!
xo,
Eddie
I’m going to make cookies with my new kitchenaid stand mixer – shortly after that I’ll be making some fresh pasta … I can’t wait to use it!!
Yellow cake with buttercream frosting. YUM!
Red velvet cupcakes and cream cheese icing =)
I’d make a Key Lime Pie!
Mashed potatoes!!!
I will make sourdough bread using my non-yeast starter I have percolating in the fridge
I’ve been dying to try out macarons, so I guess I’d be whipping up some egg whites in the new KitchenAid!
Semifreddo S’mores..come here kitchy kitchy
Marshmallow fluff!
White chocolate chunk, macadamia nut cookies!
anything that uses the paddle attachment, which didn’t come on my 10 year old non-KitchenAid stand mixer!!
Light and crispy meringues!
Chocolate chip cookies!
Wow so many possibilities, but pretty sure homemade Bread would be first on the agenda!
I’m craving Sopapillas!
Pizza dough. I’m easy like that.
French Silk Pie! This would definitely take away the strain of holding a hand mixer. :)
I would make hazelnut biscotti dipped in chocolate!
Chocolate chocolate chip cookies

Bread! Or cookies, or rum balls, or ice cream….

i’d make lemon lavender buttermilk biscuits. fresh and creamy!
I have been wanting to try Gluten-Free Girl’s crusty bread recipe for a while now, but I can’t make it with my little hand-held mixer.
foccacia!
The very first thing would be chocolate chip cookies because my family loves them, but I might sneak a potato kugal in before anyone looks….they like that too! I know this will be the most beloved machine in the house! We have always wanted one and the whole family loves to cook!
Lavendar Macarons with dark chocolate ganache filling!
I would totally make my mom’s recipe for cardamom bread. Then everybody would be my friend.
Homemade bread!
Banana bread! with walnuts, dried fruit, and spice of course! Otherwise, I might also possibly start the dough for bagels before finishing the kneading by hand. If I had the attachments, I’d totally be interested in learning how to make my own homemade pasta.
Yes! Definitely some homemade marshmallows! Nearly broke my handheld mixer attempting it last time…
I’d go for simple, just to test it out…maybe vanilla cupcakes! And then it would be time to get crazzzay! :)
The very first thing I’d make is a German Chocolate cake for my boyfriends 35th birthday party next week! I’ve been searching for weeks for the best recipe and found one that sounds AMAZING… it would be even better if made with a dream KitchenAid mixer!
I’m going to make soft pretzel dough for my neighbor and then give her the mixer with the dough in it – she is always saying how she’d die to have one but doesn’t have the money for it.
Definitely some strawberry lemon basil sorbet!
Pavlova. I’m not good at Pavlova and I’d love to make a decent one.
A kitchenAid of my very own? The first thing I would do is make some pumpkin bread just like my grandma used to in hers and take it over to her nursing home for her to eat :)
After that? Ive been meaning to try these cupcakes for a very long time…
http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2008/02/better-than-sex-cupcakes-chocolate.html
And some swiss meringue buttercream, I have not managed it yet!
Pistachio meringue cookies!
I would be thrilled to make my very own Challah from my grandmothers recipe. I can just remember how fresh baked bread smells. Yon!
A luscious pavlova with strawberries sprinkeled with pink perrercornes.
I could pretend and list something really fancy, but let’s be honest: the first thing I would make are some damn good chocolate chip cookies.
sour dough waffles!
i would make a red velvet cake! the authentic way–no red food coloring :)
I keep failing at this pumpkin cranberry cake with cheesecake frosting.. actually i’ve given up baking cakes for a while, the let down is just too depressing each time! The blending process by hand just simply doesn’t cut it!
Going to make marshmallows. I lack the arm power to whip them by hand.
I would definitely be whipping together some fresh bread!
Probably homemade marshmallows. My family loves them, but they have to be whipped for sooooo long, and my hand mixer really doesn’t cut it.
I would make a birthday cake with my new, shiny mixer :)
the first thing? italian meringue buttercream! wait, maybe marshmallows…
I would make a double batch of artisan bread (from Artisan Bread In 5 Minutes A Day), then a Hazelnut-Chocolate Torte (so much mixing…I once burned out a hand-mixer with that recipe…)
marshmallows!
I would make sugar cookies that are heart shaped. I would write TasteSpotting on it. I swear I would. You know I would.

The first thing I’m going to make is an ice cold Mint Julep while I sit back and watch my roommate make Momofuku’s Compost Cookies with our new stand mixer. I’ve been dreaming about these delicious baked goods since my last visit to NYC.
If anyone else should win, please make them and bring me some. That would also be acceptable.
http://www.amateurgourmet.com/2010/02/momofuku_milk_bars_compost_cookie_recipe.html

Pasta, lots and lots of pasta
I would make my boyfriend’s mom’s famous banana bread. The secret is freezing old bananas and defrosting them on the counter until they’re gooey. It would be amazing to use a KitchenAid Stand Mixer to get the perfect consistency and keep the bread moist.
Chocolate chip cookies! My first experiment will be low-key hehe
I think the first thing I will do with the mixer would be a nice Italian meringue for some fluffy buttercream. Though, some fresh pasta might do the trick as well :)

In college I started collecting recipes from people I met in classes and roommates. Now it is a way for me to remember those cool people I met even if we don’t keep in touch often. (I went to college in Minnesota and live in Illinois). So the first thing I’d make is a wonderful Banana bread recipe given to me by one of my college roommates. :)
Chocolate chip cookies!

The absolute first thing I will make with my new mixer is a family recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation. It’s a basic white cake that is made from scratch. I will make it with my mom, like we have for the past 20 years. Then I will turn around and give the bright and shiny, spanking-new mixer to my mother, who has wanted one for years and just never wants to spend money on herself. I think that would make the cake taste THAT MUCH sweeter :)
Pizza dough!
I would make homemade pasta.
The first thing I’ll make is coconut cupcakes, then pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, scones, muffins, chocolate layer cakes, red velvet cake, strawberry cheesecake… The list could go on and on. I need it!

A batch of muffins, flavor TBA.
I’d stick to a classic–chocolate chip cookies.
I’m not going to make anything – I’m going to give it to my baby brother who has become a mad baker. He does all of our family holiday and birthday desserts – he shows up with two cheesecakes, 4 kinds of cookies and a cake – all from scratch and all by hand, every holiday – every birthday – without fail. I think a KitchenAid mixer would change his life for the better – and I can’t think of a better thank you!
He will make: a key lime cheesecake, pie dough for a blueberry pie, pizza dough to freeze for pizza / basketball night (GO CELTICS!!!), chocolate chip cookies, gingersnaps, and my grandmother’s gingerbread. Mmmmm. I can’t WAIT to give him his new KitchenAid!!!

If it arrives soon enough i’ll make a chocolate birthday cake for my Dad.
I will be making ravioli pasta as well as the chicken pesto filling to capture the feeling of the Italina cooking vacation I sadly just finished!
I am so used to mixing everything by hand it would seem like a waste to make something I’ve made before… If I had one of those mixers I would finally make some Tres Leches cupcakes, a double batch! So I could make my friends and co-workers fat… oops, I meant so I could share… teehee
Baguettes!
The first thing I’m going to make are these Chocolate nutella turnovers!
My fiance love turnover and nutella- So it’d be perfect If I won this much needed Kitchen-aid!

Marshmallows. I’ve wanted to make my own fluffy marshmallows for a long time but each time I look at the step in the recipe where it says the mixture should be mixed for 12 to 15 minutes, I look at my hand mixer and I think of my arm cramping up. The stand mixer would make this step infinitely easier.

bread bread bread!
Chocolate challah, this stand will make process easier and less time consuming.

I don’t bake. With this beauty, I will go for a basic, classic butter cake which I thought should be an entry(beginner) cake for me :p
Thanks!
What is the first thing I’d make with my Kitchenaid? I would make my best friend and my husband their birthday cake. Their birthday’s are one week apart. I’ve been planning a river get-away for all of us. I plan on making their cake for them (they each want different flavors) to take with us. I’ve begun working more with more advanced baking and this would make my life so much easier. At this point, I’ve burned out 4 hand mixers. They make a very bad smell when they blow up!
Mmmmmm… Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
The first thing I would make would be sausage, for sure! Then maybe some meringues, then definitely some pecan turtle brownies, then lots of muffins…the list is endless!
This is what I’ll make — I’ll make certain that my gf whips up those Let Me Eat Cake’s Ube cupcakes like she says she will. I say this because I’ll give her the mixer as a gift. See, she’s been dying to own one for about six years. For realz. I’m not kidding.

I am thinking some biscotti, because my hand mixer cries each time I make it and I am sure at some point it is just going to go all full tantrum with a puff of smoke and just not work anymore.

I burned out two handmixers in attempting to make ONE batch of gingerbread cookies last christmas. Instead of smelling the awesome smells of molasses and cinammon, all I got for christmas was the smell of melted machinery. :\ I need to be avenged.
Ohhh I’m fixin’ to make vegan red velvet bundt cake!

I would make my triple chocolate chip cookies. Over the years I have broken so many wooden spoons making these cookies, that I had to buy a special extra sturdy, hardwood spoon just to make cookies with. It’s been well loved, but only can do so much. It’s time for a Kitchen Aid to come to the rescue. And when I’ve made that, then it’s a Tunnel of Fudge cake.
First I’ll make cupcake batter. Then I’ll make pancake batter, which I’ll use to batter the baked cupcakes, which I will then fry. Then I’ll die.

The first thing I’m going to bake is a huge batch of Jacques Torres chocolate chip cookies. And for once, not worry about an overheated hand mixer dying out half-way through the recipe.
Ima gonna make shortbread cookies. Yup. Absolutely!
I would record the sound of the mixer mixing and use it as the baseline to a song called Tastespotting. The percussion would all be made with pots and pans. The lyrics would go something like: “Everytime my net is down, I can’t help but frown, I don’t know what to eat, how to cook my beets. Cause Tastespotting makes plotting meals a treat, cake frosting much more sweet, baked pot pies filled with meat.”
Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Cake! I don’t have an egg beater either, so I have to whip those egg whites by hand! So light, so moist, so chocolately…. I can’t wait!

Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies from my cookbook, Taste of Pinecraft.
Will you send it to Brazil? Then I’ll make a deliciously gooey monkey bread…
oatmeal coconut cookies!
Oh good lord, I’d make EVERYTHING! Yes, because I’ve got super human powers that allows me to bend space and time. But I think the first thing I’d make would be meatballs….ginger pork meatballs.

The first thing I’ll make with my KitchenAid stand mixer is red velvet cupcakes with NON-cream cheese icing ;-) I found a great recipe and I’ve been tweaking it to be a tad healthier. The last time I made them with soy milk in the icing instead of heavy cream and they came out fantastic! Thinking of some more things I may do to make them more healthy and just as yummy. I know with the splatter shield the KitchenAid comes with, I won’t get spots of red everywhere including on myself like I do with my thrift store special vintage Sunbeam.
Chocolate-chocolate chip cookies!!!!

First thing? Whipped cream. I usually make it by hand, so that would be quite the indulgence! Yay Kitchenaid!
A 3-tier wedding cake for my own upcoming wedding! It would definitely help a lot because trying to make enough batter for a 12-inch cake is not easy with a hand mixer!
Nutella Brownies. My favorite thing ever.
Oh, I’ll make a massive batch of homemade marshmallows and then a NOT double batch of bread dough because I’ll be able to fit it all in at once!
Tres Leches. Or cookies. Or a Pecan roll : P Yeah I have no straight answer.
I am going to make mounds of cream cheese pound cake with loads of vanilla bean seeds in it and frosting and whipped cream. And then I am going to eat it all. Yum!
Cake, most definitely a chocolate cake with sinfully rich chocolate buttercream frosting.
I would make buttercream frosting of course!
Cake. The answer is always cake.
The first thing I will make is a batch of cookies for my grandma! She wants a KitchenAid sooooo bad and I would be giving it to her! (Along with the freshly baked cookies, of course!)
definitely my first attempt at meringue!
chocolate creme filled whoopie pies!
Coconut Chiffon Cupcakes. The whisk attachment will make sure my egg whites whip up perfectly to make them light as air!
Cake for cake pops!
Chocolate chip cookies!
Hmmm. I might just have to make some fresh pasta. Chitarra style.
What is the first thing you are going to make with your own KitchenAid® Stand Mixer?
I plan on making a multi-layer chocolate cake with a raspberry and alternate ganache filling for my daughters 21st birthday! The gorgeous stand mixer would be much loved! I have a tone of other recipes too to break it in.
Bread, I haven’t made home made bread since my last mixer died ten years ago
Obviously some delicious recipe from Tastespotting! Just duh!
But probably some summertime cupcakes, perhaps those Margarita ones I bookmarked the other day.
I would make cheddar oat scones. I have long wanted to make savory breakfast pastries and having this mixer would be of great help!
gnocchi, I’ve been wanting to for weeks!

Bread, to warm my new home – challah if it’s a Friday – my fiance and I are moving 1200 miles to be near his kids, now that I’ve finished nursing school.

Well.
The first thing I would make with my new KitchenAid mixer would probably be babies… out behind the bleachers. <3

The world’s best Chocolate Chip Cookies courtesy of Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc.
My grandmother’s divinity recipe! It can only be made in a kitchen aid, and if I have one she’ll be able to retire from making it.
I recently got married (2 weeks ago!) and even though I had a KitchenAid Stand Up Mixer on my registry, it sadly still remains there. When I finally get my mixer, I’m going to make pizza dough. Yeah, it sounds boring, but top that golden crust with some roasted squash, fontina cheese, caramelized onions, and sage…those are toppings my new KitchenAid can be proud of!
Strawberry Meringue Pie! No doubt about it!
Lemon Meringue Pie, a first for me. Wish me luck!
I’d make my Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Thumbprint Cookies!!!
I would make a pavlova because when I wanted to make it last time as I had my Australian family over (they regularly have family wars as to who can choose the best fruit pairing for it) my Kenwood chef mixer died. Stupid wedding present lasted 4 years. My Grandma cheered me up with her homemade bread from her KitchenAid – its older than me……
MAGIC! :)
Pizza dough followed by bread dough :)
6 year old Cheddar cheese & chive Souffle!

A pistachio torte. With lots of berries.
Without a doubt – bread! And without having the wrench my back kneading.
Wow! I would love the recipes for dome of the things I’m reading here! I would try the ice cream cake I saw on Nigella Lawson’s show the other day. It looked like the perfect ending to a summer meal.
I’m going to whip up the world’s best chocolate chip cookies for my hubby’s birthday. I’ve used my hand and handheld mixer, they won’t do it right. So pleeze pleeze pick me!
long time fan of TS!
ITALIAN MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM ALL THE WAY!
Red velvet cake and the cream cheese frosting! And homemade marshmallows!
i will bake a vanilla cake, complete with strawberries and fudge filling, topped with a shiny layer of chocolate ganache for my mom’s birthday
I am going to make a double batch of my white chocolate chip salty oatmeal cookies…mmmm ;)
I don’t usually bake with my mom (because I like baking sweets…hehe), but she wants to try making breads. I think it would also speed up the process for her making dumplings skins for potstickers and Xiao Long Bao-people call them “dumplings” as well, but they’re more like tiny, baby buns to me. Mmmmmmmmmm. I can’t emphasis the delicious-ness.
Probably scones:) Ina Garten’s Cranberry Orange Scones. I would take them to my office b/c otherwise I will eat them all and get terribly chubby…
Chocolate chip cookies!
I will make that promised cheesecake for my husband (after he makes me the world’s best chocolate chip cookies!)
hmm, that’s an easy one. vanilla marshmallows, since my old kitchenaid doesn’t function in high gear anymore!
spicy salmon dip(with king salmon i caught) because kitchen aid is as tough as us alaskans.
Cranberry relish
cookies, duh!
The first thing that I am going to make with my own KitchenAid® Stand Mixer is a Cake for my kids. Never used a KitchenAid® Stand Mixer to mix the cake batter .Always used a hand mixer.
I heard that if we Mix cake batter with KitchenAid® Stand Mixer the batter will be so smooth and cakes will be very soft and pluffy :)
Would love to use KitchenAid® Stand Mixer :) and wish to have my own KitchenAid® Stand Mixer soon. Fingers Crossed
Thanks for the Chance.
I have an idea for sticky buns that involve strawberry jam, white chocolate, and crushed pistachios. I would use the mixer for the dough first.

Bagels
The first thing I will make with my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer is homemade double chocolate peanut butter chip cookies, yummmmm!

Meringue!
I’m going to make overdrafting fees cooking for my friends, I shall plate it with a side of dignity & self respect.
Lemon marscapone cupcakes with strawberry glaze. I’ve done it by hand (with the help of a hand mixer), but even better to make with a kitchenaid stand mixer!

I’m thinking I’m going to make either a flourless chocolate tort or a cheesecake, for both of which I have excellent recipes that I’ve been dieing to use but don’t turn out as well with just my sad little hand mixer. But probably cheesecake first!

I’ve got to have some banana bread and then some rosemary olive oil bread I’ve been reading about!!
I think I’d have to whip up a batch of cinnamon-raisin english muffins.

I would make foccaccia and cookies with white chocolate, coconut and macadamia nuts for dessert!
Something with strawberries. ANYTHING with strawberries.
If i won this mixer, the first thing I would make would be French Toast and Bacon Cupcakes, which I found via TasteSpotting :)
When I win, I’ll make an entire pint worth of whipped cream.
Mashed potatoes with truffle oil, garlic and parmesan….
