I had an overwhelming response from last weeks post on my vintage pink Sunbeam Mix Master. Lot's of you wanted to see some pictures of it in action. Well here she is. In all her glory. I made cupcakes for Australia Day. She worked a dream. I couldn't stand a bright blue icing so I compromised for pastel blue. I am so happy. Lock me away with her all day in the kitchen and I wouldn't care.

O so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI think any cakes that came out of that mixer would be happy ones, and fully deserving of their fine icing. Videos of it mixing away on YouTube would probably soon have a fine following...
ReplyDeleteCupcakes! Yummy! And so pretty, too. And that tiered plate--so lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just love it even more now that I've seen it in action and seen what it can produce!! So magical :-)

What a pretty mixer! I have an avocado green one that my aunt passed down to me, but I haven't used it yet. Cupcakes look like the tastiest way to break it in though!

ReplyDeletestill love the mixer - and the cupcakes would be perfect right now! I'm sending you the kreative blogger award..sure you've had it before, but if you are going to do posts like this, you will get awards. 7 things most wouldn't know about you...
ReplyDeleteHi Simone,
ReplyDeleteshe is gorgeous.. look at her go! There is no substitute for quality is there? You make a fine looking cupcake I must say, the pretty light blue icing is much more appetizing, I agree, but the bright blue would stop me from eating the whole batch! I hope you had a great Australia Day.
:)
i'm not surprised that you could hang out with her all day & those cupcakes are adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love that mixer!! Your cupcakes look absolutely delish, especially with that yummy frosting on top. Love the icing colour and the way you've piped it on the cakes. I look forward to the day when my little Grace can be my kitchen helper like your daughter :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy! I love the sprinkles on top. And the Sunbeam mixer is adorable.
