Hey everyone,

I just took my 1st Wilton class last night and I am HOOKED! I know that this is something that I will really enjoy doing.

I graduated from cooking school in 2000 and my favourite part was the baking. I now work in a completely different field, but it would be nice to bake again.

I remember using a stand mixer in school and I LOVED it. I have always wanted one but could not justify the expense. Now I can icon_surprised.gif)

I am looking for a good stand mixer, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.


Thank you for all your help!

Kitchenaid stand mixers are wonderful, although kind of pricey. I foud on the KA website they have refurbished ones and ones that are going out of stock. You can get a fantastic deal if you don't want to pay the full price. Everyone I know recommends the tilt head mixer because it's easier to get your bowl in and out. I, however, like the other ones better because they tend to have higher horsepower and you can breeze through like 3 batches of cookies in minutes.

consumer reports has a current rating of stand mixers on its site (subscription to the site is required - but I use it alot andthink it is a good deal)

Kitchen Aid mixers are pricey but they are worth every penny. I've had mine since I started my Wilton classes and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
