In case you haven't met yet, I am PLEASED to introduce you to the KitchenAid 5-Quart Stand Mixer. Can we PLEASE just talk about this for a minute?! I received one for my bridal shower last year, not understanding exactly what all the hype was about, and I honestly don't know how I ever got along with out one! Anyone who does any kind of baking could really benefit from this, especially those of you who bake large desserts. I used to find myself going through hand mixers on a weekly basis, trying to whip up a batch of my favorite butter cream frosting - either that, or my arm would cramp up from all that stirring. Not any more though! With this, whipping together ingredients takes seconds, literally! I find myself using it for EVERYTHING - frosting, cake batter, pancakes, dips, eggs, pretty much anything that needs mixing! There are an assortment of attachments that you can buy to go with it as well - my hUsBaNd even wants to try out the meat grinder attachment - and that says a lot! I unfortunately do not have this color (Raspberry Ice); however, it is DEF going on the wish list!
