This year for Christmas, I received the most wonderful gift ever. Jon surprised me with a huge wrapped box, and to his dismay, I guessed that it was a stand mixer! Anyhow, he tried to bluff and tell me that it was Kenwood and when I saw that it was a Kitchenaid, I literally jumped for joy and squealed with glee. He then tried to bluff me that it was white and for a moment I really believed it was white. But nooooooo, it was in my favouritest (I made this word up) color - LOVELY RED. Gosh. The plan I had for myself was to slowly save up for the Kitchenaid mixer, and perhaps reward myself with it about 1-2 years down the road. So I guess there's no reason not to bake harder cakes (or meringues) any longer. I shall christen my mixer Bombino, after boms (a private joke) and bambino, which is Italian for baby.
To herald the start of my baking journey, I made a chocolate swiss roll, which was then transformed into a Christmas log cake for a Christmas party I was attending. Recipes and pictures later!
Oh and here's the picture of my bombino :)
