I see lots about making bread dough & cookies, but nothing about cake batter. Do none of you do cakes using this mixer?

Yes. Its great for cake batters. I use the white bowl for cake batters and the stainless steel for dough

I use it for cake batter too. It works.The good cakes need a good receipe though :)

Yes . . . i have used my Bosch mixer for making cookie doughs and cake and other soft batters for years. I did not know about the cookie pattel, so my success came when I learned to use the whisk beaters! For stiffer cookie doughs you may want to use the dough hook as it gets stiffer but the whisk is perfect for 'creaming' shortenings & sugar, etc. Remember it takes less time when needing to mix something for several minutes.

My Bosch mixer is wonderful on mixing cake batters, angelfood cakes, etc. The way the beaters work, it takes less time than other mixers, and the batter comes out more light and fluffy. I love, love love my Bosch, and am so glad I have it. I can also make two loaves of bread and have it ready to place in the pans, in less than ten minutes. You should really buy one, you will not be sorry V. Anderson

Try adjusting the amount of flour....reduce by 1/4 cup max. It could be your oven temperature and/or the amount of time your cake bakes. I doubt very much if is due to the mixer..and possibly an adjustment in the amount f liquid/flour will solve the problem. I assume you are speaking of cakes you make from scratch. If so, try a 'box' cake mix and see if you have the same problem. Interesting dilemma !

Well, my sister is the one that bakes. She makes her cakes in a regular house oven and they are perfect. But she also uses some ingredients and other methods with this pans that she won't share. Sorry if it wasnt much help.

I've never baked any kind of pastries in mine so I can't help you with that. Did you read the recipe book that came with the unit?

You spoon the batter into the mold. You have to bake it several times to get it hard. Or make them thin. I think using your own recipes would be the cheapest way to go. The mixes are pricey, but convienent.

Don't recall any recipes. If you spray it with the baker's nonstick spray, and do not overfill them, you should get excellent results. I've made little cornbreads, and cakelets - both from boxed mixes. They were delicious and delightful!

The mixer comes with three attachments and we use the whisk attachment for mixing batter. We've made corn bread and cakes and it works just fine. Really like this mixer and use it a lot!

Nowhere in the manufacturers literature does it mention a dough blade or that it can produce dough. Food processors are higher speed than a mixer, I highly suggest a mixer for that process, Right tool for the right job Have a great Day

This mixer does come with a dough hook and I have made bread several times. It does a great job with making dough. I truly love this mixer. I make everything in it, including buttercream for cake decorating, buttercream fondant turns out wonderfully. It works well for everything I have every used it for. My only complaint is that I have the 4 1/2 quart bowl and wish I had the 5 qt -- mine is just not quite big enough. But it works so well even after 26 years of constant use, I can't see getting rid of it for that reason

I have had my mixer a year. I do bread for Farmers Markets. I have done recipes that do mostly 2 loaves at a time....occasionally 3 and it does great. Recipes with rye, whole wheat and oatmeal are among those I do. I love the ease of cleaning, lightweight bowl and smaller footprint...so far so good!! It gets used at least 3 days a week!

No, they do not. I tried using cake mixes, and cookies from scratch. There were always unmixed ingredients in the bottom of the bowl, so I got rid of mine. Wish they'd make a mixer for those of us who do not use it for bread dough!

Yes, it's great for cookies, cakes, whipped cream, meringue, frosting and bread dough. It has two bowls. One you use the roller and scraper with and one you use regular beaters. I use the roller and scraper for everything except whipped cream, meringue and thin icings. I never use a mixer for mashed potatoes, a ricer or food mill is much better.

I did use it to bake some cakes. I followed the same baking instructions as I do for any mini cupcake silicone bake molds. Unfortunately the cakes didn't pop out very well due the type of batter I used. Unless it is an extremely dense cake or brownie batter it won't come out easily or have any real detail to it. I mostly use them for making chocolates and flan now.

Not sure about cookie dough, but I use this for cake batter and it was fine. The lowest setting is extraordinarily powerful, so I mix the dry and wet mixes together with a spatula a bit before I use this product, because the dry mix might go flying up if your mixing bowl isn't big enough.

I have used cake mix, corn bread mix, etc. Only use a small amount in machine, then use remainder in oven.

Hi Crystal-I have only used this mixer to make cream cheese frosting. It does well on the mixing part but beware that if you put too much powdered sugar in at once it will POOF out of the openings (there is a small space between the bowl and the splatter guard). I made a cake in it last night. I am very happy with this mixer. I use it to make my own bread. It is not a strong enough or big enough mixer to make a 3 loaf recipe.

I have used my mixer several times , but I am not using it for heavy duty baking . It doesn't knead dough or use an attachment for kneading . Depends on how much you will be using it and what for . PS I want a Kitchenaid , but can't afford it . I hope this helps.
