  134. Definitely the cinnamon mixer. Bright and flashy yet alluring and mysterious.

    I’ve tweeted the link and shared the Facebook post.

    Reply

  156. Happy Birthblogday! Hmmm… perhaps some kind of sparkly chrome-y light blue… though I’d have to “after-market” it with pin stripes (and possibly flames – ack, maybe not very kitchen friendly!) so that my 4 y.o. boy could “drive” it : )

    Reply

  162. A gooey rich chocolate… it’d always make me hungry in the kitchen so I’d have to make more cakes :-)
    Liked and shared on FB, tweeted too @bakearamauk

  182. I shared & liked on facebook! https://www.facebook.com/ma.reike.9275

    I think I’d be sky blue (or “Ice!”):

    – it’s my favourite colour,

    – it matches everything I own (and matches myself, which I guess is important if I’m going to stand next to it a lot, as I definitely would!),

    – it would even make splotches of cocoa icing look pretty,

    – it stands for the blue-sky thinking I find inspiring about your blog.

    The rainbow cake and the asparagus cake are my favourite things ever. x

  189. I would be pistachio!!! I love that color it reminds of the 50s-60s era.
    p.s. I’ve already loved your page/post on fb too! Okay well liked but if there was a love button better believe I would love it all! :)

  197. Sweetapolita blue! With little white polka dots.

    Happy blog birthday :) if I get this kitchen aid mixer the very first thing I’d try to bake are macaroons. Never done it before but I think this would give me the push. Love reading your blog. Makes me so happy.

    Reply

  211. I also ‘liked’ Sweetapolita on Facebook. My second color would be the silver. However, any color Kitchenaid mixer works for me!

    Reply

  218. I would be orange because sometimes I like to blend into the background in a bittersweet orange kind of way and sometimes I like to be all in the middle of things like a bright tangerine kind of orange!

    Reply

  222. I would be Tiffany blue almost the color of Sweetapolita blue because Tiffany’s “frosts” fingers almost as pretty as some of the cakes I have learned to frost from Sweetapolita over the past year!

    Reply

  226. I would be this color as well. It reminds me of vintage kitchen appliances and it’s one of my favorite colors. I love any variation of turquoise/teal/aqua.

    Reply

  229. If I were a stand mixer I would definitely be teal. It’s the perfect combination of green and blue, in my opinion, and pairs so well with other great colours (like coral)!

  231. I’d be a delicious burnished orange- the colour of the trees round here right now, and the colour of all that lovely, nutty, slow-cooked autumn food like squash and pumpkin. Yum! A very happy birthday to you and thanks for the blog!

    Reply

  232. This is by far my favorite color! If I was designing my own I would be this color with little white lily of the valley on it….and be called Lily of the Frozen Valley or something :-) Also, I “like” you on Facebook and shared your post!

  247. If I had a choice I would colour mine a hodgepodge of rainbow colours, patterned to look like the car in Austin Powers! My favourite decade is the 60’s/70’s and I love anything that matches! It would look perfect in my groovy coloured kitchen! :)

    Reply

  283. I’d probably be a black or dark grey color with some kind of chevron-type pattern. It would be amazing. Thanks for the chance to win!

    I would certainly be a fuchsia stand mixer, but this ice color would be perfect in my kitchen :)
    I already like your FB page, and I just shared your giveaway post on my page, but as I don’t have a Twitter account I can share it on there
    Thanks for this nice giveaway, i keep my fingers crossed now!

    Reply

  316. I would be, without any doubt PINK! Just like the one you posted on Instagram. :)
    I remember the first time I came to your site, (about one year ago, last summer). My first thought was “W-O-A-H! This woman is an artist.” And my second was “I will never be able to do any of these recipes.” But the truth is, thanks to your fantastic writing, the way you explain everything, and the fantastic pictures, I’ve made basically ALL your recipes-and they are the best, EVER.- So, Rosie… :) I wish to your blog much more posts, recipes, great pictures, and calories! Haha!
    Happy blog birthday, Sweetapolita! <3

  326. I would have to be a black just like all the other kitchen appliances that my husband chose for the kitchen. Since he would be the one paying for it ;)) Otherwise, it would be my favourite sky blue or mint colour. Happy Birthday, Sweetapolita & Happy Birthday to my baby girl Lily born today, 21 September. You are both irresistible xox

    Reply

  342. I would be “Ice” because its my favorite color. If we could add patterns it would be ice with white polka dots. Polka dots just add a cuteness/fun factor to everything!

    Reply

  343. I would be a bright cheery yellow! That looks so sunny and happy when people see it, they instantly become happy ;)

    Congratulations on another wonderful year of beautiful blogging!

    Reply

  365. Hmmm… I’d be a white or a granite colored mixer, because I blend with the background really well. But I’d love to be a cranberry one because it’s so funky and adventurous yet still sweet!

    You’re right, this one your picked really is a perfect match for your blog :)

    Reply

  380. I would definitely be Boysenberry, but the Gloss Cinnamon would match my kitchen perfectly. The Ice would make a sweet addition though!!!!

  405. I would be so red as, fire truck, the sexiest red lipstick, an sweet red apple, sexiest lingerie, the tastiest tomato, the prettiest red roses, the colour I’m very intens .. Living life to THE max!! But like the iced turquoise the most!;)

    Reply

  409. Were I a mixer, I would be bright orange. I am a tad loud, a little brash, and tend to stand out from the norm, and not always on purpose. I’ve learned to just embrace that, just like I would happily embrace (literally) a beautiful new stand mixer to replace my $6.00 hand mixer.

    Reply

  415. My color would be Lovely Shade of Aquatoise <3 I've already "LIKED" & I just "SHARED" your Birthday giveaway! Thanks, Sweetapolita <3

    Reply

  475. I would be the special edition Wonder Woman mixer because I have fought myself from the brink of death, have Fibromylagia, kidney disease, I am a mother of 4 and a business owner! My kids think I am a super hero! :)

  480. If I were a stand mixer, I would be pistachio green! Pistachios are addictive, and so is baking! Perhaps it’s also a reflection of how nutty I am ;-) Hmmm!
