My new KitchenAid Mixer

I am very excited to share my creations that I am creating with my new mixer: A beautiful KitchenAid Artisan that I bought this past weekend.  It is a beauty to behold! After many years of contemplating, comparing and cost analysis, I brought my new friend home to my kitchen. It is wonderful and I am in love. I baked a milk chocolate cake with mocha icing as my first creation. It was the best cake I have ever made, and my family agreed.  This was truly a  joy in cooking and it was divine to mix butter with vanilla and sugar. And of course.....chocolate.

I have finished summer school this week and I will be posting on a weekly basis on my adventures in baking. Paul's birthday is this week, and I will be making some delicous creations for our adventure to Las Vegas to celebrate. I will be bringing treats to Matt, Jenn and baby Mackenzie, and I hope they survive the toasty drive in the heat.

I love vacations, I am so excited to bake! (My two favorite appliances!)
