Hi Ann Reardon. I love your creations
so much. It has inspired me to bake more even though I already bake a lot with my sister. Your creations are simple it might look like it’s hard to make but no, u make it easy for us or whoever makes your creations. I love you so much. And the stand mixers will come in handy with me and my sister because we bake a lot and we can make more of your creations.
She is beautiful, amazing, inspiring,intelligent and has the best ideas that no one on YouTube has. And I aspire to be like her.
There are 5 different colours to the mixers and her first video is on the 11th April 2011
