Birthday Cake - You Are Never Too Old
The whir of the beater grinds the metal bowl. My mom dumps in two boxes of Betty Crocker white cake mix. It is my birthday. Crack, one egg, two eggs-thirty three years. She has made the same cake every one of them. Betty Crocker white cake mix, oil, and eggs. The beater grinds.
With precision, up swoops the Kitchen Aid. A quick twist and the silver bowl springs into action. A floured sheet cake pan awaits the gooey concoction; I await the drippy bowl. My mom pours and shakes the pan to even the batter. She spreads the top with a spatula; with an index finger I swipe Betty Crocker to my lips. The joy of adding another year is in the mix.
Rattle. The metal on metal of the pan as it hits the oven rack in a preheated 350-degree oven. The midday sun shines through the kitchen. I await the cutting of the top and my afternoon birthday snack-hot cake and freshly mixed icing.
Nothing fancy around our house. Crisco and box frosting- mom says that Crisco is the secret; butter is a little too strong. Pour the powder into a Pyrex bowl. Stir with a spatula. The warmth of the cake fills the kitchen. Only fifteen minutes left.
Timing is everything; let the frosting set. Get four bowls down. One for yellow, one for red, one for blue, and one for green; it isn't a Birthday cake if it isn't nice and colorful. This year will be a big locomotive; Andy loves his trains.
The aroma is unbearable as the buzzer goes off. Two oven-mits from the drawer and out it comes, onto the tile. I pour a glass of milk and the top is carved as promised. I politely borrow from the vat of white frosting with a knife. Ah, birthdays, you are never too old.

KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers - Does the KitchenAid Pro 600 Belong in Your Kitchen?
The KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers are the largest stand mixers available under the KitchenAid label. They deliver professional power and results to the residential kitchen. But is a KitchenAid Pro 600 the best stand mixer for your kitchen? Following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers.
Advantages of the KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers
Large Capacity - The 6 quart bowl and heavy-duty motor can power through recipes of up to 14 cups of all-purpose flour. That's a lot of cookies!
Strong Motor - The KitchenAid Pro 600 has a 575 Watt motor. It is 125 Watts more powerful than the next smaller model.
Stability - Since the KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers are bowl-lift models, they are more stable than tilt-head models when mixing heavy dough.
Wide Mouth Bowl - Both the KitchenAid Pro 600 and the KitchenAid Pro 5 Plus have a wide-mouth bowl, allowing easier access to the ingredients and beater.
Smart Speed Controls - The KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers have a soft start feature that keeps the ingredients from splattering out of the bowl. The Electronic Speed Sensor keeps the mixer running at the selected speed even when the mixture thickens as you add ingredients.
PowerKnead Dough Hook - Most KitchenAid mixers come with a C-shaped dough hook. The PowerKnead hook is better able to handle stiffer dough.
Numerous Attachments Available - The KitchenAid 600 Series can become a complete kitchen center with the purchase of additional attachments. These attachments allow you to do everything from opening cans to making ice cream.
KitchenAid Warranty - The Pro 600 is backed by KitchenAid's hassle-free warranty. They will replace the mixer if it fails within the first year.
Disadvantages of the KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers
Weight - Due to its large size and heavy-duty capacity, the KitchenAid Pro 600 is a heavy mixer. It is best to find a place where it can stay and work on your counter.
Size - The machine is quite tall. Make sure you have the necessary space for it.
Price - As the largest of the KitchenAid mixers, it also has the highest price.
With KitchenAid's reputation for quality, the Kitchenaid 600 Series Mixer is an investment that will yield years of use and delicious treats.

The Benefits of Using an Ice Cream Maker
The Ice Cream Maker has become an important appliance in today's kitchen. Ice Cream Makers come in different sizes and colours to compliment your kitchen and other appliances. These machines help you create the exact flavour you want and often with less than 45minutes preparation time. Choosing your own ingredients gives you the possibility of healthy options plus control over the ingredients and additives used - especially useful for people with allergies. Homemade ice cream is a great way to boost your 5-a-day intake when made with fresh fruit. It's fun, especially for kids who are usually only too eager to come up with suggestions for new flavours. You can have fresh ice cream whenever you like often within 45 minutes.
Using an ice-cream machine is quite straightforward. You pour your pre-chilled mix into your machine, which simultaneously churns and freezes it. Churning mixes in air and stops ice crystals from forming. Most makers have a viewing window so you can watch the transformation occurring. After about 30-40 minutes, creamy, soft ice cream is all yours. In most cases, you can pop it in your freezer to stiffen it up a bit before it's truly ready. It's easy to tell when it is ready. The paddle will stop, or struggle to turn as the ice cream thickens. You then switch off the machine.
One huge advantage of having an ice-cream machine is that you can make an infinite range of recipes. As well as traditional ices, you can make sorbet and granita (a slushy dessert) or try using tofu, fromage frais or yogurt.
To ensure you make full use of these handy appliances, here are some things that you should consider before making a purchase.
Size/Capacity of the Ice Cream Maker - Although many makers have a 0.7 litre capacity, there are some which can make over double this amount. Careful consideration should there be given to choosing a size which meets your needs.
Pre-Freezing Bowl or Built-in Freezer - Most reasonably priced ice cream makers have a removable bowl which you have to pre-freeze before it can be used. Make sure you check the product information as to how long the bowl must be frozen for and if you feel you'd rather not have to pre-plan making ice cream in advance, you should opt for a model which has a built-in freezer.
Cycle Time - Most product can freeze-churn ice cream mixture within 20 to 30 minutes however you should carefully check the product description for the estimated timescale.
Spare Parts - Check to see if the manufacturer offers spare parts in particular paddles or extra freezer bowls which can be handy to have as back-ups.
Extras - Check the product descriptions when you are choosing your product to see whether or not any extra items are included such as a pouring jug, spatula or a recipe book. A recipe book specifically relating to the model being purchased is particularly useful as it will give you a general guide as to ingredient amounts which you can then use to modify other ice cream recipes you may have.
Safety Features - Check the product description for additional safety features such as non-slip feet and interlocking lids.
Standard Safety Marks, Warranties, Manual - Look for a model with a recognised safety mark for your particular country which is a sign that the manufacturer follows the best safety precautions and for a model with at least a 1 year warranty.
Good Reviews - Check cooking magazines and websites to read microwave reviews from other consumers and businesses.
You can find a style and design that fulfills all your needs from our wide range of Ice Cream Makers and Machines. The best way to make the purchase is to comprehensively research about the various brands and models available.
In fact, if you are shopping online, you can always check out the best prices at numerous stores offering kitchen appliances for sale.
