For the last 30 years, since she died, I have been using my Mum’s handheld electric mixer to make all my cakes. Last week, it broke having been in use for at least 50 years! I now have a new one and it is both light and really quiet and beat up the mixture in a flash. Here’s to many more cakes!
Here’s the cake that I have made for tomorrow’s market on Murdoch Day in Redruth. Watch this space for the parade and more festival fun.
We’ve bought a new Agapanthus called Fireworks. It is gorgeous. I’ll show you again when it’s in full bloom. Behind it you can see the beautiful cream flowers of the Ginger Lily.

Our hand mixer is 40 years old this year. We don’t do much baking, but we used it this week to make a Grand Marnier cake and muffins. YUM!
Your cake looks delish.

Grand Marnier cake sounds rather special – as do all these 40+ year old mixers, like Ute’s, yours and mine! 🙂

That was quality…. I’m using my mum’s too…I guess it’s about 30 years old. It’ll have more years in it then 😊🙏

Brilliant, these old mixers. Somehow I doubt my new one will last so long – but I won’t ever know! 🙂
