Today is my birthday.
This year, I took a break from baking my own birthday cake.
Instead, I went to the Filipino-Chinese Bakers' Association, Inc. (FCBAI) Bakery Fair 2009.
The Bakery Fair is held once every two years and brings together all the major ingredient and equipment suppliers in the country.
I asked around for a new, bigger and more powerful cake mixer. I am setting my sights on one with a capacity in the range of 8 to 12 quarts.
I intend to purchase this new mixer using proceeds from the sale of my back-up KitchenAid Classic 4.5-quart tilt-head mixer (Model K45SS) and some other kitchen appliances that have remained unused. Watch out for those items as I will post them here for sale as soon as I take some decent product shots.
I also found these very pretty wedding cakes on exhibit. Just take a look at these beauties:
