Kitchen Gadgets

Since I was young and started baking with my mom and grandmother; who both have a KitchenAid mixer, I have always dreamed of having one in my kitchen one day.  Well that day came last Christmas! I know sounds so long ago right? I really do not know how I managed to bake all this time without one! I absolutely LOVE mine.

I have some Valentine orders to get working on and when I pulled out my new KitchenAid mixer to make the cake it took me back to when I was just the helper in the kitchen and in complete awe and amazement of it all. Not only does the mixer just speed up the making of the cake or cookies or whatever you are mixing but I love the big bowl and how you have two hands free to measure things and dump ingredients in. I cannot wait to teach my kids to bake with my very own KitchenAid mixer one day. Is there one kitchen gadget that you couldn't live without?
