KitchenAid Mixer
My KitchenAid is my favorite, it has been used more times that I can say, my daughter now uses non stop. It is still going perfectly well, did you know KitchenAid has been around for over 100 years? so lets say they know what they are doing when it comes to mixers.
Cakes, cupcakes, muffins, meringues oh the list goes on. This is my go to kitchen appliance very weekend. Yes we bake every weekend and sometime during the week if we have time. My daughter loves to make sweets and snacks to take in her school lunch.
You can purchase so many different attachments (I think around 14) so you can even make pasta and fresh burgers – don’t think it is just for sweets (although that is what I mainly use it for). This is an appliance I would recommend to anyone who actually enjoys baking and being in the kitchen even when you are a busy Mom.
