I am so excited. I pretty much burnt out my KA even though it still works for small jobs...well I was looking at the 7qt cuisinart online and really wanted one but did have the money. I went to the mall right next to my work for lunch and walked by a tiny kitchen store. I've only been in there once before but something was calling me into the store. I found the 7 qt stand mixer on clearance for $299.99. I came back to work and called my dad and asked him for my early Christmas present . He's brining me the money tonight. So I went back over to the store and bought it!!!! I am so friggin excited. I will definitely be using it tonight!!!! YAY

Congrats ,and happy baking.

I'm soooooo jealous! What color is it?

My next one will be a 7 qt. It will either be a viking or a cuisinart - whatever I can get the best deal on when I'm ready.

I used it last night to make my BC icing and I love it!!! It works like a dream...only one small thing. Kind of stinks when I'm making a smaller batch of stuff with such a deep bowl but that's what I get for buying a 7qt

Congrats! I bought one not long ago, I got a great deal too mine came with a bonus extra 7 qt. bowl and the food processor attachment. I love it!!!! Now I make double batches of Sugar Shacks buttercream icing etc. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

so do you guys have a preference over Cuisinart or KA? Congratulations TheBlonde I too am jealous!!!!
