Here’s How to Win KitchenAid’s Gorgeous New Stand Mixer

If you follow popular kitchen appliance brand KitchenAid on social media, you might have noticed that it’s been masterminding a big drop. Based on an Instagram post in August featuring a gorgeous, sparkling stand mixer and a second post last week with some cascading orange sparkles, it’s clear that KitchenAid has been cooking up something straight out of our wildest dreams. Today, the brand announced an extremely limited sparkling stand mixer in a new color called Tangerine Twinkle, but it’ll only be available via sweepstakes. The contest is now open, and you can enter to win one of just 12 limited-edition stand mixers.

Make sure to enter by midnight on October 3 if you want to enter your Tangerine Twinkle era. We’re not aware of anything else important happening that day — certainly not any big album releases or anything — so you should have plenty of time to fill out the necessary forms.

And in case you’re not one of the lucky ones to snag KitchenAid’s coveted mixer, read on for a few showstopping options that could do wonders for your reputation in the kitchen.

Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in Tangerine Twinkle

This sparkling version of our favorite stand mixer is absolutely worth entering the sweepstakes for. It has 10 speeds, a removable 5-quart bowl, and a tilting-head design for easy bowl removal and tool switching. This mixer can also power a ton of attachments for fresh pasta, food prep, grinding meat, and much more — it’s really a magnificent do-it-all that’ll make you fearless in the kitchen. “This stand mixer is the best choice for anyone getting started in baking or needing a simple option,” our testing editors said. “It can last through decades of cookies, breads, and more for an impressively low price.”

Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in Scorched Orange

KitchenAid’s scorched orange version of the classic stand mixer may not technically sparkle, but it still has plenty of style. We love using stand mixers for pizza dough, bread, whipped cream, and shredding protein, but you can do almost anything with one. Whether or not you win the sweepstakes, KitchenAid is offering free virtual cooking classes on its Instagram page between September 30 and October 3, so whichever color you end up with, at least you’ll be ready for it when your new mixer arrives.

Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in Hibiscus

Hibiscus was the 2023 KitchenAid Color of the Year, and it’s easy to see why. This edition comes with an additional 3-quart stainless steel bowl, a flex-edge beater, and a pastry beater in addition to its dough hook and wire whip, so you should have everything you need to get started on a new baking or cooking journey.

Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in Feather Pink

This stand mixer comes in a subtly vibrant feather pink, a vibe that should pair perfectly with baking sweet desserts, mixing delicious sourdough, and whipping up some fluffy shaved ice. Whatever your next cooking era entails, a 10-speed mixer will help you get there.

Make sure to enter KitchenAid’s sweepstakes. If you don’t win, just shake it off and snag a different (but equally festive) color — we’re sure whatever you make with it will be iconic.
