THIS WOMAN.
That's right! Cam and I were in Kingston this weekend for his birthday and we met up with his mom and aunt for breakfast this morning. His aunt kept asking us what color stand mixer we wanted since we had put it on the wedding registry. We told her we were not expecting a gift and the registry was just because a few people had requested we make one.
We parted way and went back to his dad's house without another thought to it. An hour later, a knock on the door and in comes his aunt carrying the Kitchenaid box!!
So I (or rather, "we") are now the proud new owners of a Artisan Series Stand Mixer from KitchenAid complete with 10 speeds, 325-watt power, and a 5-quart bowl for ultimate mixing! We picked the Pearl Metallic since we don't know what color our future kitchen will be and this would work with any decor.
To sweeten the deal, I just picked up the Spring 2011 Food & Drink magazine with a feature on carrot cakes in several delicious variations. Can't wait to try them out!
Wow, that is such a wonderful, generous gift! :) You will have such fun w/ this machine!
ReplyDeleteI wish I baked enough to actually use one of these...
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping Cam and I will be more active this summer, too....to balance out the baked goods. Lol.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I don't really bake right now but I'm making a vow to make a lot more now that I have this baby! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I hope you use it often (although I won't be benefiting!) My mother has one and she doesn't use it very often, usually during the holidays, but when she breaks it out you know something good is on the way!
ReplyDeleteLucky! I've always wanted one but I burn everything I bake so it would be a waste fir me. Make some macaroons!
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously awesome. I really want one and unfortunately didn't get one from our registry. Maybe one day I can join your baking party when I finally bite the bullet and purchase one.
ReplyDeletei like your color pick.
ReplyDeleteI have no skills in the kitchen yet i must admit that I secretly long for a Kitchenaid mixer in the 50s seafoam color. What a wonderful and generous gift. Lovely blog by the way.
