To celebrate the 21st book in Lynsay Sands’ Argeneau series, The Immortal Who Loved Me, Avon asked if they could give away a 4.5 quart Kitchen Aid standing mixer here at the hot pink palace.
Like I would say no to anything that involved the remote possibility of baked goods, right?
Why baked goods? As Caro, the lovely publicists who came up with this buttery idea wrote to me, “Since the heroine, Sherry Carne, owns a kitchen goods store, I thought it’d be fun to give away a fancy KitchenAid stand mixer, because honestly, who doesn’t want one of those? It’s like the Cadillac of cookie equipment.” She’s not wrong – I have one, and I use it all the time. So let’s get to it, eh?
The grand prize is an Ultra Power® Series 4.5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer from KitchenAid, in the winner’s choice of color – and this thing comes in red, green, blue, pink, yellow, and something that looks a lot like Tiffany blue – it’s kind of amazing.
Ahoy, widget!

I’d use this mixer to bake chocolate chip cookies because they’re everyone’s favorite.
Some types of cookies Must have nuts, but I don’t think all of them should.
I would bake some delicious donuts!
I love her series! I can’t wait! I would make cupcakes!!!
i would bake a sour cream pound cake
I always wanted a KitchenAid mixer. Classic, solid, and beautiful.
I would love the books and the kitchen goodies! Yummy!!
I would make an angel food cake from scratch because angels and vampires in my kitchen just makes me want to read Sands & Hill.
I love KitchenAid mixers!
I’ve never really had the chance to bake (At least successfully), but I do love reading Lynsay Sand’s books. It always makes me frustrated when I can’t find another book in her series. If I win the mixer, the first thing I would learn how to make is the ultimate soft and gooey chocolate chip cookie.
If I won i would make angel food cake with a lemon glaze. Nuts in cookies is a must do!
Ohhh wow I would love either prize and nuts? Hello!Yes nuts in cookies, cakes,muffins,ice cream,you name it I will bake it with nuts lol. Thank You for the chance at this amazing prize.
I would make my great grandmother’s persimmon cookies. So good!
My sister-in-law and I bake like crazy, but we mix everyrhing by hand so we would love a new mixer. We bake cookies, bread, cakes, basically everything. There is nothing better than the smell of fresh bread, yum.
What an amazing giveaway! I’d bake a lemon yogurt cake for sure. Mmm.
Definitely cookies! The question is which kind? Right now I’m thinking classic chocolate chip, maybe throw some pecans in too
Upside down pear gingerbread. Scratch brownies with dried cherries and walnuts. Love baked goods with nuts, particularly brownies, Toll House Cookies, Mexican wedding/Russian tea cake type cookies. Also muffins, quickbreads.
I love that mixer, and if I won it, the first thing I’d make is chocolate chip cookies from scratch 🙂 Then I’d work my way up to more challenging things like scones, biscuits, and maybe dough. 😉
If I won I would make ninjabread cookies. That’s gingerbread cookies shaped like ninjas 🙂 But, I think I’d make them as sugar cookies, because… yum!
Cooooooookies! I would make cookies by the bucketload if I had that mixer!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Chocolate chip cookies with nuts
I would bake so many things with that mixer. The hand mixer isn’t doing it for me any more. I could barely dream of buying myself a white mixer on sale but getting to choose a color would be even better.
I would bake chocolate chip cookies for my 3 kids, then make banana pudding for my husband.
I’d probably bake Red Velvet Cake first, since we love it. But I’d soon try some homemade bread, I’m sure.
I will be baking my daughters birthday cake. She has requested strawberry cake, and we are having a tea party! Any good suggestions of tea party snacks for four year olds??
I love to bake but I rarely do it since I end up being the one to eat it all. LOL My husband doesn’t have a sweet tooth and I’m on a die. But I love making pumpkin, banana nut breads. If I won this awesome prize I would try something I’ve never baked before.
The first thing I would bake is a hummingbird cake with cream cheese frosting.
if I won I would definitely be baking cupcakes!
COOKIES! Specifically Oatmeal Scotchies (oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips).
I would make scones. And dribble icing over them. And eat them all. And lick the beaters. And the bowl.
I’d make a big batch of salted chocolate chip cookies.
I’d go with a classic–grandma’s chocolate chip cookies.
I’m in the mood for yellow cake with peanut butter frosting. No one believes me that it’s good, soooo…more for me!
Meringues! Or a torte. But probably coffee meringues. (Something that requires beating egg whites to stiff peaks, which I am not sufficiently motivated to do by hand.)
Entering even though I’m already a long and proud owner of this indispensable Kitchen Aid mixer. But it could break. Or if lucky enough to win, maybe I could gift to a certain someone who seems to be getting overly attached to mine 🙂
Do not underestimate the critical role nuts play in certain cookies! Verboten only if someone is allergic.
Thanks and good luck, everyone! *off to find some cookies*
I would make muffins for my kids if I won the stand-mixer.
I would have to make my carrot cake because i win every baking contest i enter with it.
And it depends on the cookie if it should have nuts or not.
I would make red velvet cupcakes.
I’d bake some bread.
I’d probably make some kind of muffin that I’d have to look up a recipe for. Being on a diet is a bitch.
