Isn't she beautiful?!
Ahhh... a KitchenAid mixer. Ya'll know I've been dreaming of owning one for a long time, right?
I started a Wilton cake decorating class at my local JoAnn store last night. There are a bunch of girls from work taking the class as well.
A few weeks ago Patti came into work totally excited about this cake she saw somewhere. She then got all of us interested in a cake decorating class. Needless, to say, it didn't take much to make me agree. My cupcake obsession naturally encompasses all kind of cake. ;)
So, we had our very first class last night. While our teacher Kristen demonstrated how to make icing, she mentioned that for the Level 1 class while you're just making buttercream icing, a handmixer will do just fine. But once you're in Level 2, you might want to invest in a standing mixer for all the long mixing time the other icings require.
What was that sound? That was my wallet opening and embracing the "need" of a KitchenAid mixer. ;)
Kristen is such an enabler. My KitchenAid Professional 5-Quart Mixer in Empire Red will be delivered on Tuesday. :)

You won't regret it! They're wonderful.
Yay for you Kristina. Can't wait to see what you make with it! I too am jealous - this is definitely on my got to have list.
I want one of these SOOOOO bad!
She IS beautiful!! You will love her. The absolute ONLY way to make a cheesecake that even angels would love is with a KA mixer. The red helps! =). Congrats!!!
What a beauty! You are going to LOVE your new KitchenAid mixer. I just purchased my first KithcenAid this past December. You are going to have to show us some of your baking masterpieces once your mixer arrives!
I have to laugh! I, too, have this odd cupcake obsession and bought this same exact mixer last weekend! Thanks for sharing all you wonderful ideas and creativity!
You will absolutely love having a Kitchenaid. I have had one for 8 years now and use it at least three times a week. I wish I had a colored one though, mine is plain jane white.
Shiney! I thought you might like this link to a giant cupcake pan... http://www.surlatable.com/product/547901.do
love your blog.
You are going to enjoy cake decorating classes so much! I took all three courses about six years ago and it was great fun. I never could have made it through without my Kitchenaid. Buttercream icing is a cinch with that thing!
