KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, Empire Red, KSM3311XER

I love this little mixer! I have had a larger KitchenAid professional mixer for years now and it is still my go to for my big baking and cooking projects. The opportunity to try the mini came along and I jumped at the chance as I now do a lot of smaller batch cooking. The mini is cute and powerful and takes up much less space on the countertop than its larger siblings. and it's still pretty quiet. I still love my Professional, but will use this one more often as it's just the right size and still performs well. I received this product at a discounted price in return for my unbiased review.

This little mini mixer is so cute! I know that a big part is how well it helps you bake -- and it does that too -- but I just love how it looks! It is quite small, so when baking, you'll want to make sure you aren't trying out large batches of cookies or cake. I got it in the "honeydew" and just love it. So retro! It looks like it would be in some mid-century kitchen (hello Mad Men). I get so many compliments from everyone. It's basically a part of my home's decor and I love when I have people over and they oo and aw over it while eating some yummy cookies I just baked with it :)
