How many colours of the Bakery Boss mixer are in the stand mixer cake video?
It seems to me that there are 6 different colors because the sky blue she is using does not seem like the first silver one. It could also be 5 if it is the same with different lights on them.
When did Ann upload her first How To Cook That video?
