Products I ♥: KitchenAid Artisan – Meet Betty!

This is the mother of all the products I ♥!

KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixers

After the recreational cake decorating class I took at ICE, I knew a stand mixer was an absolute necessity. If you are a little more than an occasional baker this is truly indispensable. Plus with all the attachments available you can do almost anything with it! I was gifted the ice cream attachment for my bday! And the ice cream was great!

I have the mixer above the Empire Red Artisan, her name is Betty. Yes I named my mixer! And you know what? I love her to bits! Without Betty I’m sure I couldn’t whip ganache so nicely.

Birthday Cake for Husband!

By Ms. Cherryspoon | March 19, 2009

Strawberry Shortcake Close UpI am lucky to have both my friends and family supporting my decision to change careers, but I have to say husband has been supportive in a near motivational speaker level, and I love him for it (amongst many other reason why), so of course, I made the exact cake he requested.

The request came a few weeks ago, it was for a kind of cake we eat a lot in Brazil, you might not know this but Ms. Cherryspoon grew up there, anyways, the cake is a simple white cake, with pastry cream and fresh chopped strawberries filling.

It was very tasty! Plus I got to make pastry cream for the very first time, so I am one step closer to being able to make my favorite cake, Gâteau St. Honoré, just kidding I have a ways to go before I can tackle that.

Dora Cake for Jessie.

Dora Cake for Jessie.

A few years back, I met this really cool chick, and she became one of my best friends. While getting some frozen custard at Rita’s one day, she tells that lately she’s been feeling either sick or hungry (hmmm), few months later, I met the cutest little twin babies!

These beautiful babies soon became adorable toddlers who turned 3 this past Friday, and I was delighted to make them individual Dora cakes, one pink and one purple.
