Delicious delectable dainties

Love how you made the batter into mini cakes; that way you can eat seven or eight "pieces of cake" and not feel bad...... as if ;'D

My Mom & Sister Peg would die for the coconut creme, and I, for the apple dapple, but i would have to add cinnamon.

Who got ta eat all them sweet treats? Glad that baking's keepin' ya off the streets--pretty funny!

Good luck on the 10th, Buddy.

Is my Sunbeam Trash?

I have what looks like chrome but I think it is plastic with a light under the bottom that shines down into the bowls, and it has like a weird dark brown color soft padded handle. It is bigger in size than the regular Sunbeam stand mixers.

It reads some type of power burst or something about watts of power on it, it's in the basement in a box only use it a Christmas time.

Trash?

The models that came after the 1-7 and included dough hooks, some models with work lights, are the most powerful Sunbeam ever made. They are louder because the fan changed to a squirrel cage and the vents were cut in over the bottom of the motor to allow more air flow to cool the souped up engine. The problem was user lugging them too hard or running on speed 1 too long and burning out the switch which was never beefed up from the orginal MM conception. Nothing from the actual Sunbeam company was ever real junk but the specs for materials were lightened and cheapened to try and compete with the vast plastics of the competition.

Thank you for the information, it works good but I have always been gentle with it because I am afraid I will crack the body or the stand because that plastic doesn't look very sturdy.

Kelly---

The Apple Dapple Cake is excellent! (No surprise-----just goooood!)

I added a bit more apple and some cinnamon into the batter, and I dumped a little reduction of boiled apple cider into the glaze.

Wonderful!
Love your recepies!
