Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I just love these little dish cleaning pacs of goodness and I have really enjoyed sharing info about Cascade Platinum and the “My Platinum” Instagram contest with you. This is the last week for the contest and it is all about showing off your “Platinum Clink” and featuring your favorite drink in bright, shiny Cascade clean drink-ware.
My personal favorite drink is actually a pink Princess Punch that can be used for any occasion. We recently made it for our daughters birthday and will be making it again, with a few red, white and blue tweaks for the 4th of July. I’ll post the basic recipe below so you can try it out. I think you’ll love it!
We had a bonfire for family night and roasted up some marshmallows, lit a few fireworks and enjoyed our punch. Since that is my favorite “non-adult” family-friendly beverage, I decided it was a great opportunity to snap a photo and enter it into the contest. We were having the punch anyway so the timing was perfect! Here is my entry photo. I seriously need a better camera. I couldn’t get it as bright and vibrant as it needed to be. Sigh. Oh well.
The Cascade “My Platinum” contest is a four week Instagram contest that encourages fans to upload photos related to the weekly contest themes. Show off how sparkly Cascade makes all your pots, pan and plates! You can find more info on how to enter by visiting https://tinyurl.com/PlatBlog. When you get to the landing page, it will prompt you to sign up for Instagram if they you are not currently an Instagram user.
Each week, two contestants will be selected to receive a brand new Whirlpool dishwasher. Additionally, one lucky grand prize winner will receive a Platinum kitchen makeover!
To win, you have to both register and upload a photo with the #MyPlatinum hashtag and tag @MyCascade. Participants that have not registered will be disqualified from winning.
Each week will have a 6-day entry period where Instagram you can enter the contest with your #MyPlatinum Photo. Cascade will choose two weekly winners and one final grand prize winner after the entry period has ended. Please be sure to include both the #MyPlatinum hashtag and tag @MyCascade in your entries to the contest!

Now, more than ever, people eat with their eyes, and the evidence is all over sites like Facebook and Instagram with post after post of recipes. Aside from the contest, Cascade has also teamed up with Top Chef judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine, Gail Simmons and she shares with us why she thinks sparkling clean dishes and amazing presentation are just as important as how the food is prepared.
*Cascade’s Partnership with Gail Simmons:
- From prep to plating: It’s more than just a great-tasting recipe, but also perfect presentation.
Sparkling dishes, shining flat ware and spot-free glasses truly let you put your best food forward with culinary creations that pop! - Gail recommends impressing with a Platinum Presentation: “The easiest recipes pop with unexpected, gourmet presentations. Drizzle bright sauces on sparkling white plates or layer desserts in crystal-clean glassware. Keep your presentation sparkling with Cascade Platinum, which keeps dishes perfect for anytime entertaining and impromptu guests.”
Learn more about Cascade’s partnership with Gail Simmons by viewing videos available on the Cascade Facebook page and Cascade YouTube page.
