Like most of us, my wish lists keeps changing from time to time depending on the most current interest or needs or wants in my life.
In November, my wish list consisted of only a long list of expensive watches that I wanted.... As I had lost ALL of the few expensive watches that I owned... Currently I am stuck with only a 20$ Timex watch! Guess, Fossils all washed out.... Anyway due to limited resources the wish list has been temporarily forgotten...
After I decided to join the Wilton classes, a new wish list started developing which included cake pans (for baking the cakes), Ultimate kit ( for the classes), Kitchen Aid ( Its a Stand Mixer which is a must in every baker's kitchen here in US, which also around 300$ ) and other baking related items....
Some of the items on this wish list I needed just to get started on the baking, so I went to the Dollar Tree store and bought some 1$ pans.... I bought like 4-5 pans.... Since I could not buy the other good quality ones.... They seemed to work satisfactorily for the moment.... If I really start baking more often I could invest in the better quality pans....
One of things which was really confusing me was the hand mixer... Sometimes too much research leaves you too confused... I would love to own a Kitchen Aid one day if I really start baking wonderful cakes out of my kitchen... But for today, I had to find a hand mixer and I had decided to buy a good Cuisinart 50$ hand mixer... I decided I would buy it after my first class, in case I got any tips from there.... But I did not, the instructor just went on to say how good the Kitchen Aid was and she had one in her class too...
So I came back and got down to ordering my mixer because I needed it before my next class to make the icing...While I was looking again for more options before placing the final order, I came across the

"Sunbeam 5-Speed Hand and Stand Mixer Combo" for the first time, it had 4.5 ratings, it was a 2 in 1 hand & stand mixer and it was also cheaper than my Cuisinart mixer by 10$.. Heheee... So, I just placed the order and got the mixer today...
It looks good, lets hope it lives up to majority of the good reviews in Amazon.Shall soon discover.
Here are its pictures.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteNice blog. Cookies look awesome.
Regarding kitchen aid, I use our brand indian mixer which works so well for cake batters, though u cannot work on dough's.
Somehow working in hand works better for doughs I guess if u don't wanna spend money on that.
Keep going!
