I saw these this weekend at Sur La Table. I wanted to purchase one on the spot but I was there specificly for one thing so I had to stay on task. Which is hard for me in a cooking store. I wil be going back this week for the BeeHive Bundt pan though. My hubby knows how much I wanted it so he said go ahead and go get it. Of course he knew I would anyway.
I went ahead and picked one up for my daughter. She saw it and decided she couldn't live without having one for her birthday. Which was a nice excuse to use with her dad! Even though I was getting it one way or another. It worked just like they said it would. All of the cake batter and frosting was mixed beautifully. Just as it normally is with a KitchenAid but without us having to scrape down the side and that little nub at the bottom. So is $24.95 worth it. We love it and so did the little gal at the store who was there buying her third or fourth one. She said she loves hers so much she has been buying them for wedding shower gifts.
I have the Sideswipe and Cook's Illustrated reviewed both of them and preferred the SideSwipe just a tad more. So, that's what I got and I really like it! No more stopping to scrape down the sides. Amber
