Folding food scale.

A food scale comes in handy with baking. Some of my recipes only give the ingredients in weight (which is more accurate than measuring). And if you make things like rolls, a scale keeps everything the same size.

It’s also convenient for weighing poultry and eggs.

So is it normal for the bread to stand upright, and run around the bowl when using the KitchenAid?

That is normal but if you make a large batch, the mixer can start walking on the counter. It is best to not leave the room when making dough

I'm re-making the sugar cookies today. I'm experimenting on frostings as I wasn't 100% satisfied with the previous one. And I have new Wilton gel colors to try out

Funny the things we bakers get excited about!

I agree! If I hadn’t been in the room, I couldn’t have enjoyed the show!
You do realize I meant the thing was a log, running around the edge of the bowl with the hook chasing after it, right?
I even stopped the mixer, lifted the head, and doubled the dough on the bottom. It immediately went back to a log, and up against the side with the dough hook just pushing it around the edge. I’ve seen a machine knead dough. Didn’t look anything like this! This was hysterical!

Yes!

It might have had a bit too much flour but still turned out nice

You all remember the multi-cookie cookie cutter I ordered around Christmas? I tried it out today. Just to save you all the same mistake...do NOT bother with getting it, I'm not pleased with it. The cutters don't cut clean, so every cookie I either had to trim up or leave ragged. Frustrating and disappointing.

Well, back to icing cookies. Let me tell you, this is hard! I'm exhausted.

Thanks for the review!

Thats what mine does with the dough hook.

Can’t wait to see them!
