KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer in 24 retro colors — Retro Renovation

5qt mixer, which I don’t recommend since that extra 1/2 quart capacity of the 5qt mixers makes things MUCH easier. To quote Consumer Reports at the time, “If you need a stand mixer, you need a KitchenAid. ” Mine was a birthday present from my husband, prompted by his thinking the large bowl of buttercream icing I’d made in small batches with a KitchenAid hand mixer and put in the fridge in preparation for a class I was taking was a good midnight... I have the cobalt one, I got it in 1995 when they first reintroduced color mixers, I don’t remember their being very many choices, now I wish I had a softer or brighter color, but it’s fine, works wonderfully and has made many batches of bread,... I’ve burned up 4 hand held mixers, and two sunbeams, all for a lot less money than I’ve spent on my kitchen aides. I’ve had my White KitchenAid mixer since 1989. I bought our Kitchenaid mixer in 1998. Back in the early 1930′s my dad and his dad went out and spent big $ on a Fitzgerald Magic Maid mixer (with all the attachments) for my grandmom. Pam, I hope you don’t mind me posting a link but there is an artist I ran across online that paints Kitchen Aid mixers and they are AMAZING. That being said, my mixer is still going strong, and 2 of my 3 kids are ready to pounce on it should I ever upgrade. I think you have to do a LOT of baking to justify spending that amount of money on a mixer. I an order for wedding cake coming up and didn’t want to deal with mixer issues anymore. Fortunately for me, that mixer still survives and it was passed down to me (it still works perfectly). The 3rd and oldest child now has her own 6qt KitchenAid. I lost one kitchen aide in a divorce and it took me over nine years to decide I wanted another one. So, after HE had the pleasure of making batch after batch of of buttercream icing with a handmixer, he decided I really needed an upgrade. I bought it for her birthday, at Goodwill, for $40 with the Kohl’s $365 price tag still on it. As far as upgrading mine, I covet and crave the lovely colors, but can’t justify the expense unless mine finally dies. well, it didn’t take too long for her to fall in love with her “kitchen maid” and she spent the rest of her life acquiring every electric cooking gadget made.


Dispute put cancer care at risk

You can see it in the KitchenAid artisan stand mixers and the Yoplait lids and the cereal boxes that turn pink in October. You can see it when Niagara Falls is bathed in pink lights and when the Buffalo Jills pick up their pink pompoms. But the power of the pink ribbon is also the result of the relentless focus the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure has had on its brand. And you can see that power when thousands of women gather each June for the annual Susan G. Komen Western New York Race for the Cure. There is power in the Pink.
