Kitchen Aid Mixers Are Tough

Been a while since I last Blogged about Kitchenaid mixers, Just wanted to write a short post  on the Durability of our Kitchen Aid, We have been using our Kichenaid Artisian Stand Mixer for the Last three months In our New adventure The Cup Cake Cafe and Sweet Boutique we have made and sold Hundreds of Cup Cakes And Many cakes in the last few months and Our 10 year old mixer just keeps putting out the the batter and icing, without a hick up. Just another reason to own one of these workhorses, Imagine if it can stand up to the affor mentioned work after 10 years as our home Mixer you could say that the investment is worth every penny.

Kitchen Aid Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer

Have you ever wondered If a Kitchen Aid Mixer is worth the money, Let me tell you a story. We purchase our Kitchen Aid Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer about 10 years ago and started using it for general kitchen use. This is a great tool to have around the kitchen you can whip up a cake or some mashed potatoes in no time and clean up is so easy,
And now about the workhorse capability of these wonderful machines, My wife started decorating cakes and then started teaching the Wilton Cake Decoration method. Have you ever tried to make butter cream icing with a hand mixer ? Not as easy task for the Hand mixer(often burns up) or the operator. Then my lovely wife went to a Wilton training seminar they needed someone to make a little (ha ha) royal icing for them. Being the great guy I am I jumped on it besides they were going to pay me 100 (not enough) smackers and that would help with the expenses of the trip. Sorry back to the kitchen aid Mixer.
I show up ready for a easy day of icing making and I turned over 100 pounds of powdered sugar into royal icing (see foot note) over a two day period and it was all done with kitchen aid mixer brought in by the students of the class. Now those are some tough work horse mixers. Our mixer is now used several times a week for cake making and decorating and preparing icing for my wifes classes. So now to bring my rambling to a close. I would not think twice of dropping what ever price I have to pay for another of these KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Mixer
if the need arises.

And to top it off there are many Kitchen Aid Mixer Accessories to make you more creative in the kitchen

Royal Icing - this icing is made with powder sugar, merinue powder, and water. The mixter has to be mixed at a certian speed for 10 minutes to reach the desired consistence. Which is a very thick sticky consistency.
