I love baking, its the best way for me to de-stress after a long day
at work. When I first got into it my tools were so basic and minimal. I
had my trusty electric whisk from Asda that cost me the grand total of
£5 but it did well and I managed to get a good 3 years out of it before
it died.
I was desperate for a mixer and I kept saying
to Himself that if we ever got married I only wanted a wedding list so I
could put a mixer on it. I remember being in Lakeland with mum one day
and pointing them out to her and saying how much I wanted one but they
were way beyond my price range.
Anyway so I'm looking
on eBay wondering if I could pick up a cheap one second hand and I
managed to get one for about a tenner. I can't remember the make of it, it was just a bit old and battered
but Himself said he could bring it into the workshops at work and clean
it up for me. He did and a few days later I decided to try it out but
the whisks snapped straight off and into the mixture. I was not happy!
So
the next day I get in from work (He was working late) to find this
massive pink box on the kitchen table with a lovely gift card. Honestly I
was shaking as I opened it then phoned Him and he said "the money I
spent on that is worth more to you and I know you will get more
enjoyment out of it." I couldn't wait to try it out and I have been in
love with my Kenwood every since. Touch wood it has never failed me even
when I pushed to its limits when my MD asked me to baked 150 cupcakes
for our client party last summer.
I love my Kenwood and I love Himself even more for buying it for me - see dreams can come true!
