TOOLS USED TO MAKE

  • Hand Mixer – In the kitchen, a good hand mixer can truly change your life. There’s no time like now to fix that if you don’t have one as part of your kitchen utensils!
  • Stand Mixer – A stand mixer can really make light of a lot of work. Stand mixers can handle a greater volume of ingredients unlike a hand mixer. A stand mixer on your counter or in your kitchen is a great idea if you do a lot of mixing!
