I've always loved baking since I was a child and remember watching Delia Smith for inspiration. Being able to test out different recipes is something I really enjoy, and I've done a number of people's birthday cakes and like to challenge myself with bigger and better designs each time. Obviously, baking cakes like this requires a lot of mixing and doing this by hand can become quite tiring so I was excited to have my own stand mixer to use, with this Judge Bakeware Twin Blade Stand Mixer one being great.
The kit is something a little different to the normal mixer as it's a hand and stand mixer combined into one very useful kitchen appliance. The hand mixer slots into the stand and means you have a fully functional item to use for baking. If you need to use it out of the stand, simply detach and use it as a hand mixer. Being a slightly smaller size means this is ideal for those with a smaller kitchen as it won't take over your worktop. It still has a 1.5L liquid/750g solid capacity in the detachable bowl so should still be able to hold plenty for the majority of people's needs. It seems to be well built and with the 2-year electrical domestic guarantee, I feel reassured that it will be up to the challenge.
The 300 Watt motor has five different speed settings which are operated easily via a thumb control switch, with a turbo button located just below. The bowl also rotates to ensure that the ingredients get thoroughly mixed, while the tilting head gives you easy access to the bowl. Both the beaters and dough hooks are included with the mixer so that it's ready to go right out of the box. I've already used the Judge Mixer to make a birthday cake for a test run and was really impressed by how easy it was to use and it made my life so much easier. I've got upcoming plans to create another birthday cake for Andy's birthday and I will be doing a tutorial on how I made the cake with the Judge Twin Blade Stand Mixer so there is more to come.
