If you kill it, get a better one!!

Well, I killed my third Kitchen Aid Mixer. Yes, 3!! I have spoken with Kitchen Aid and they reluctantly admitted that their mixers are not built to knead bread dough. I argued that they advertise the mixer to make bread dough. They have bread hook attachments to make bread dough. However, the motor burns up if you are using a slow setting, less than 6 cups of ingredients, and attempting to mix together anything that has body or weight. The Kitchen Aid representative explained that something like banana bread is better suited for a Kitchen Aid Mixer.

So, now that I have sent my mixer to Kitchen Aid to be repaired, I’ve stepped up the quality of my smaller mixer. I still have QBert, my Hobart 20 quart mixer for all big batches of bread.

Welcome, Ethel!!! (Yes, I name my appliances) My new Ankarsrum Bread mixer. She is a 7 liter mixer that just broke through the ceiling of mixing for me. I am making the cream cheese frosting for the King Cakes this weekend. WOW!!! AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

I am humbled by all the accolades from your comments on my baking. I am working so hard to keep up with the orders.

So, Saturday, Bavarian Pretzels (almost sold out!)

Sunday, King Cakes with cream cheese filling (almost sold out!)

Organic Dog Treats (almost sold out!!)

I appreciate all your information when filling out the survey. Keep those responses coming!!

The weather is amazing. I’m actually done with Winter. My garden is waking up and I feel invigorated.

Happy Day = Happy Mixing!! Thank you Ankarsrum!! You built it, I have it!! No more dead mixers!!
