Sweet peeps, I once had a Kitchen Aid mixer which I loved, and which was incredibly well-made. I sold it (long story) and have been without one for I'd say about 8 years. Then, I fell in love with the Italian-brand SMEG. I love their Jetsons-like retro lines. I first got a toaster in baby blue. Then a year later an electric teapot in the same color. Any then just today, I finally, almost a month after my birthday, received this belated gift from my man (hmm--he didn't forget, it just was a special back order).
SOOOOOOOO, here it is. My new stand mixer--in the same baby blue as its siblings. I am in love, and immediately put it to good use by making an orange poopyseed cake.
Isn't she a beauty?!
My first creation from it (no way could I not use it immediately!) was orange-poppyseed cake. Zest of 2 oranges, 2 T. of poppycakes, and almond extract, and almonds toasting on top made our house smell soooo yummy.
