Love my new mixer! It took longer than I expected for it to ship, I guess because I ordered it right before Thanksgiving... But once it arrived, I was so glad. It does take a little getting used to when making bread. It goes faster than I can so you don't want to over knead the bread. Very thankful I have a kitchen timer that does seconds! When it says need 90 seconds, it means it! The cookbook that came with it is a big help! Also, I used it to make our wedding cake (from Rose Levy Beranbaum, The Cake Bible) & fondant. The cake turned out beautiful! I am considering starting a business & the mixer will be what will help me make beautiful cakes! Thank you for a wonderful product!
