For years I have wanted a stand mixer, but being the frugal person that I am, I know I would not get enough use from it to justify the cost of a nice KitchenAid model. Plus if I had an extra $250 just laying around I would buy a Wii instead. This Christmas Dana (in a roundabout way) bought me a new stand mixer from Target. Today was my first chance to use it. Quinn "helped" me make cupcakes for small group tonight. I enjoyed being able to add the ingredients without having to hold the hand mixer. Later we made some homemade caramel frosting and I let her frost a cupcake for herself.

OH very cool! Congratulations - I was just thinking I better get a hand mixer now that the kids are into making cupcakes, the hand whisk was becoming quite a workout. That stand mixer is pretty slick though!
ReplyDeletemmm cupcakes those sound good!
ReplyDeleteoh, i want one!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at that proud little face!! How cute!
ReplyDeleteI have a cheaper version of a stand mixer too, I love it, and would never go back to a hand mixer again. Maybe someday I'll get a "real" one but I'm like you if I had that money I'd find something else to buy with it.
Look at that cute grin!!! And how neat that Dana got you a stand mixer!
ReplyDeleteOh what a darling smile! This photo just jumped right out at me from the thumbnail on JoAnn's blog. Oh, and nice mixer.
