I started baking as a young child, helping my mom every weekend as she made cakes and pies for six hungry mouths. Beating sponge batter for fruit puddings, blending pastry dough for pies and whipping up buttercream icing — we were certainly a family with a sweet tooth!
That passion for baking (and eating) has stayed with me, and I continue to serve up homemade treats to my own family, although I now stick to a slightly healthier diet. So, as a regular baker, investing in a reliable and robust stand mixer was a must. I wanted an appliance that would beat, whisk and knead, and keep going for years rather than months.
