It still has the booklet, and a handmade cover - and is in perfect condition. Apparently they still market similar models: K5SS. I'm glad to be able to make more mixing-intensive dishes, and hope we'll make cinnamon rolls at some point soon. A hand mixer (still plugs in) is a good compromise if you're starting baking in cramped corners. Definitely helps with whipped cream, meringues, etc. It is a Kitchenaid from the 80s – a gift from the offspring of my grandmother to her, as she was frequently baking for visiting grandchildren and children.

I'll try it with cake #3, now that S. has polished off the current one. :-) That’s a good suggestion. I’ll try it with cake #3, now that S. has polished off the current one. :-)
