Not everyone took offence at the ad, however.
"Pink for women ranges are invariably breast cancer related. Don't be so quick to take offence," wrote one Twitter user.
A spokesperson for KitchenAid UK apologised for any offence caused and said the offending webpage had been removed. "Our intention was to highlight the Cook for the Cure program, which gives people with a passion for cooking a way to support a meaningful cause," the spokesperson said. "The program raises funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. From pink products and celebrity chef auctions to home-based fundraising events," the spokesperson continued.
