I know it’s not the real deal but this is as close as I’m going to get to owning a KitchenAid mixer for alittle while. I haven’t purchased a real KitchenAid mixer yet because I am simply out of room in my kitchen and pantry. I don’t have a ton of counter space in the kitchen and the pantry is packed with curing pickles, cake decorating supplies, and an embarrassingly large collection of sprinkles. I’m happy though to find such an adorable Christmas ornament in the meantime; it makes a nice addition to my Christmas tree.
