Home bakers and cake decorators need a mixer that can stand up to daily or weekly baking again and again. After almost five years of use, I can say with confidence that the Bosch Universal Mixer is the best mixer for cake decorators. See the best deal on the Bosch here.
You can make buttercream without a cloud of powdered sugar in your kitchen or make triple batches of vanilla cake all at once. Those are just a couple of the reasons I love my Bosch. You can read why I ditched my Kitchenaid here and see how it holds up to 16 cups of flour here for a batch of cookie dough that yields over 400 chocolate chip cookies!
