I am loving my new KitchenAid mixer that my husband bought me for Christmas. Before this, I still used a twenty-plus year-old hand mixer that my aunt had given me when I went to university. It worked great for many, many recipes, but it was time to move on.
I used it to make these cupcakes, chocolate with cream cheese icing, just because.
Yum!

I just recently got a kitchenaide stand up mixer and I don’t know how I survived without it for so long! I was apprehensive to get it because I have so little counter space, but I’m so glad I did!!
I am amazed at how much easier baking is! And it’s so quiet, too.
My roomie and I borrow the neighbor’s Kitchen Aide to make bread. It’s wonderful!
