Wilton is giving away 25 Quality Wilton products for a Wilton Cookie Exchange Party, valued at $143.56, to ONE of my lucky readers. My good cyber-friend Cindy at Wilton, offered me a number of baking products to do my own cookie exchange. I had NO idea what she meant until I got the box. I was tickled to get such a giveaway offer. But when we she mentioned to try it out and do a giveaway for ONE of my readers, well, I don't have to tell you that I was literally blown away by their generosity!
Check Wilton's impressive list for detailed information and pictures of everythingthat's in this humongous box! When I say big, I mean BIG! 25 Wilton products, with everything you could ever need or want for your own Christmas Cookie Exchange Party.
Because there was soooo much stuff in the box, enough for 20 or more people to have a cookie party, I got Erika from Stampin Mama to help me out. She rounded up lots of people and Girly (my cute little blond granddaughter), helped me bake cookies, took photos and helped me with all the details. Thanks so much Erika! Hope you had lots of fun too! Please go check out her blog, Stampin Mama, for more cookie and stamping fun!
Erika, from Stampin Mama says,
"The kitchen is an integral part of our home and it's no surprise that my daughter has it in her blood to be there, as well, even at 9 years old. In fact, she's been helping me in the kitchen long before now. She has her own cookbooks and her own cookie cutters. She is always looking for something to make and especially likes to make things for other people. She loves to package them up in creative packaging and hand them out to friends."
"We had a blast creating cookies in the kitchen together. We both decorated cookies and they all took on their own personalities as we created them. The Wilton cookie cutters, decorating frostings, sprinkles, cookie press, scoop, etc. were all easy to use and are perfect for little hands as well as big ones. The Wilton Cookie Exchange Book was especially helpful for ideas on decorating our cookies. It's full of recipes and pictures of decorating ideas, so we had no problem at all with coming up with ideas. It's definitely going to get used all year round in this house."
"My daughter was especially tickled that people commented on her cookies and how creative she was when they were put out on the platters. The little labels that came with the Wilton packaging kits were a huge hit. Everyone loved the beautiful packaging and talked about how pretty it looked. Even down to the festive parchment paper! This is definitely something we're thinking about doing each year!"
Wilton Holiday Cookie Contest Prize Details
The contest will be a BIG short one, meaning the Wilton Holiday Cookie Contest Prize is BIG, but the contest will only go till Thursday, December 10th, midnight, EST, at which time I'll pick a winner with the Random Generator.

I can tell you that I like using wilton's decorating bags and tips. And their cake pans are the bestest!
I would LOVE to own this cookie set. we're doing a cookie exchange at work and this would be AMAZING!
Posted by: Kerri | December 07, 2009 at 04:14 PM
Pick me! =D My favorite Wilton supply would be the seasonal Wilton sprinkles. I ummm... get them half price after the season is over. Seriously, I'd love to write raving reviews about their products, but I'm a grad student and my husband is in law school, and we don't have that many, LOL!
But, yes, the sprinkles are fun to use. Thus far I have Easter, Halloween and maybe I'll get Christmas in a few weeks. ;)
Posted by: Amanda | December 07, 2009 at 04:17 PM
Wow, what a cool prize package! I recently used some Wilton rolled fondant. It was my first time using fondant and it was great - so easy to work with! I've got one of their annual cake decorating books and an assortment of other things like pastry tips and bags.
Posted by: Jill | December 07, 2009 at 04:36 PM
I have used a lot of wilton products, pans, icing, bags and tip and I love everything!! I so want to take their course but.... the nearest place is over 2 hours away.... so sad

Wow - that is a very generous giveaway! What fun prizes.
Posted by: Tiffany | December 07, 2009 at 04:53 PM
I love Wilton products. I've used their decorating tips and bags for years in food decoration and with crafting with modeling paste. I use a different decorating set for crafts! We have an annual cookie decorating contest here each Christmas, and I use Wilton colored sugars, sprinkles, molds, bake pans and gift wrap. I love their products and I'm glad Erika showed me your neet blog.
Posted by: Sarah Miller | December 07, 2009 at 04:54 PM

I have used Wilton Pans (decorative cakes) and candy supplies for many years. My mother used to make cakes professionally and I was able to borrow a pan to make a decorated cake for my child. I would love to win the cookie exchange set!
Posted by: sherryd | December 07, 2009 at 07:54 PM
I like Wilton's cookie press and I love the frosting that comes in the "glue" type bottles--great for little ones to help with.

I have never used thier cake decoratiing items though.
It was nice to see a photo of your granddaughter. She is so pretty and looks just like Erika.
Good luck everyone.

What an awesome giveaway you have going here Donna! I'll make sure to tweet for you!
I use several of Wilton products. I have their cookie cutters, decorating bags and tips, candy melts, bundt pans, you name it. The Wilton section is one I always go to when I'm browsing!
Posted by: HoneyB | December 08, 2009 at 05:25 AM
Oh my goodness, this is incredibly generous of Wilton! Everything in the package looks amazing. The package would be so much fun to have a cookie party with family and friends. Thanks for the chance to win! Michele
Posted by: Michele | December 08, 2009 at 08:05 AM
WoWZa! What an awesome prize package! Wilton has definitely shown the spirit of giving here, eh? I love Wilton products for my cake decorating. I took two of the Wilton cake decorating classes at my local Michael's and now I make both of my boys' (ages 6 & 2) birthday cakes each year. It's fun to do soemthing creative just for them!
Posted by: Vanessa Pyatt | December 08, 2009 at 08:44 AM
I love Wilton products. I use their tips, bags, molds and cake pans. I also use their magic melts. Their products are the best. I would love to add this to what I already use.
Posted by: Jill Hatch | December 08, 2009 at 09:13 AM
What a great kit! As a former cake artist, I've used most of Wilton's products. I LOVE their products! Thanks for this generous offer.
Posted by: Ky Scrapacat | December 08, 2009 at 09:37 AM
OK, with all the shiny shiny and pretty pretty in that box, I have to tell you that the thing I use the most from Wilton are.......the parchment sheets! I cannot LIVE without them! I use them for everything and you will never find anything, maybe other than a knife, that is more useful, versatile and handy in the kitchen than parchment paper. I use it to keep things from sticking to pans and sheets, use two sheets to pound meat (that sounds bad, doesn't it?), use it to wrap things for the freezer before putting in a zipper bag to prevent freezer burn, use it to wrap packages of cookies to give a way (roll up a stack, roll again in cello, tie ends, voila!), use it to make funnels to fill containers with dry ingredients, use a piece in place of a pastry bag, use to cover food and then with foil to keep things moist in the oven on warm. I could go on..............
Thanks for such fun posts!!! Bren
Posted by: Bren | December 08, 2009 at 10:15 AM
I have used their sprinkles, molds, and squeeze bottles before. I love their sprinkles!
Posted by: Amy P. | December 08, 2009 at 10:43 AM
When I was a kid my mom was awesome about letting make icing just so I could try and make stuff with her Wilton bags and tips.
I have yet to start my own collection of Wilton (except for one lonely pan to make one of those Giant Cookies, which my daughter LOVES), this would be a great start!
Thanks Erika's Mom and Wilton for offering this giveaway (even if I don't win)! :-)
Posted by: Alexandriash | December 08, 2009 at 10:55 AM
What a wonderful gift! My kids love making and decorating cookies, too. It's a Christmas Eve tradition for us.
I have all the Wilton Comfort Grip cookie cutters (at least all of them I've seen!). I loooove them! My kids love finding shaped sandwiches in their school lunches. :)
Posted by: Lori A. | December 08, 2009 at 11:02 AM
I love baking cookies. It's too bad that I now only reserve this for the holidays. I hope that I win so that maybe I'll bake on a more regular basis. Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Lynne | December 08, 2009 at 11:03 AM
I LOVE to bake and Wilton products are the BEST! I would love to win this - thanks so much for the opportunity! :o)
Posted by: Valerie Z. | December 08, 2009 at 11:38 AM
What an amazing giveaway! Wilton does cookies right, lol! I don't have any Wilton pans or sprinkles, I only have the cookie press and love it. My kids and I love to put on the Christmas tunes, get in the kitchen and bake away!! This set would be an amazing gift for our family and I would love to have a cookie exchange. It's been a few years since I hosted one.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this!!
Posted by: Vicki | December 08, 2009 at 11:42 AM
I have used their fabulous cupcake liners! I love the fun designs and the quality is definitely a step above the rest! I would love to play with the sugars and fun pans!
Posted by: Jingle | December 08, 2009 at 12:39 PM
I just attended a cookie exchange on Saturday and it was alot of fun. I just loved bringing home all the different cookies. I do use Wilton products! I love the sprinkles for cookies, cupcakes, cakes and my husband puts it on ice cream. What a awesome give away. A big yahoo for Wilton products.
Posted by: Margaret Smith | December 08, 2009 at 03:08 PM
My son loves to bake too so this would be a great Christmas present for both of us! We would have a blast getting sprinkles all over the kitchen!
I love Wilton products. I have a lot of their cake pans and use their annual magazines for cake ideas. I do love their colors for frostings but most of all I love their variety and that I can alwasy find what I need when I want to make/bake something.
Posted by: Tracy | December 08, 2009 at 03:30 PM
Wow what an awesome gift! Oh how they have improved over the old metal spritzer cookie maker I grew up with in the 50's and so many wonderful items to try! I would love to invite my friends over for a day of fun and cookie exchange baking. We could try out all the new goodies, take pictures and create wonderful memories!!!
Posted by: Shari Albrecht | December 08, 2009 at 06:22 PM
I don't do a lot of decorating but when I pick up new pans or specialty items I always choose Wilton - just can't be beat for quality.
Posted by: judi0044 | December 08, 2009 at 06:28 PM
This would be such a fun gift to receive. I love Wilton products and have used them for many years from cake pans, parchment paper, decorating tips, etc.....I'd love to win this cute cookie pan and all the goodies that go with it. I do have a favorite memory. My husband was stationed in The Netherlands when we got married. I remember looking through the kitchen when I got over there to see what cooking things he had. What was there on the shelf??? But a whole set of Wilton round wedding cake pans. Well let me tell you, I was curious and so as soon as he got home I could hardly wait to find out if he had a hidden talent and did cake decorating and I didn't know he had such talent. He looked at me funny and said no, he didn't decorate cakes. I asked him what the pans were for and he said, "oh, they are my deep dish pizza pans. I was hungry for American pizza and couldn't find a pizza pan so I bought a wedding cake set to make it in. At least he is inventive.
Hope this gave you a laugh....it sure did me.
Merry Christmas,
Cathy

I've used a Wilton cookie press before and loved it. I haven't pressed cookies in a LONG time for Christmas, but this would be a great opportunity to do it again.
Posted by: Johannah B | December 08, 2009 at 08:54 PM
I used to decorate cakes,so I have a ton of Wilton products (cake pans, decorating tips, etc; but not related to cookies. My sis-in-law does the cookie exchanges, so I'd like to try my hand at it! I love the reliability of Wilton products, knowing what you are getting is a HUGE relief especially during the rush/madness of holiday time! I'd love to plan a cookie exchange and show up the in-laws!
