My love relationship with Kitchen Aid products dates back to my wedding when I was gifted my first mixer by my mother-in-law 15 years ago! Every time I use it, it’s like a little part of her is with me, the mixer is still with us and her recipes and traditions are alive in the recipes she shared with me!
My Mixer is still going strong, so many Christmases and holidays, numerous cookies, cakes, all the recipes shared on my blog, so many memories! My KitchenAid Mixer was that reliable best friend whom you can always count on!!! But my counter space has been a bit crowded lately with all the gadgets I have added to our must have family; so the news of a Kitchen Aid Artisan Mini Mixer, which would be as powerful as my old one, but take up a lot less space, was welcomed by us!!!
I present you the MIGHTY MINI – MINI MIXER. POWERFUL PERFORMANCE
Here are my favorite features:
- With the launch of the new Artisan Mini, there is now a smaller mixer that takes up less counter space
- It’s lighter in weight so you can easily move it around your kitchen
- It has the same iconic design and power as our other tilt-head stand mixer.
- It can make up to 5 dozen cookies in it’s 3.5 quart stainless steel bowl.
- The Artisan Mini Stand Mixer also features 10 mixing speeds and comes with a coated flat beater, dough hook and 6-wire whip.

Here is the first recipe I made with it! A Brazilian family recipe which has been in our family for over 100 years!
Tapioca Cake
Ingredients
4 Eggs
2 Cups of sugar
200 Grams of butter
1/2 Package of shredded coconut
4 Cups of Tapioca (make sure it’s the one for cake and puddings)
1 Cup of milk
1Tbsp of Baking Powder
Preparation
Preheat the oven at 375F
Beat the egg whites and reserve
Mix, Egg yolks, sugar, butter tapioca flour, milk and baking powder adding milk slowly, looking at the consistency, which should be smooth with the pieces of coconut and tapioca showing, but not runny. So, adding the milk slowly is a must!
Add the egg whites and mix very gently
Grease the pan with butter and pour the mixture
Bake it at 375°F until golden brown.
Optional is a Brigadeiro icing:
Mix 1 can of condensed milk, butter as directed in my Brigadeiro recipe, or watch the video HERE. (Follow all the steps, just not adding cocoa.)
Pour it over the cake and enjoy!!!
Here is the video, for you to check out!
You will find the KitchenAid Artisan Mini at Best Buy!
What do you think about the new Artisan Mini? Would you like to have one? As usual, give us a Trendy Shout!
I guess I need to get oneof these for myself since I love tapioca.
My daughter loves to bake and for her 12th birthday she wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer.
It really looks a delicious cake and I love your mixer I bet my sister would love this too she loves using mixer mostly she loves to bake.
I keep telling my husband I want one of these. I have wanted one since the original came out. Hopefully by Christmas I get one.
I have always wanted a Kitchen Aid. It looks so easy and love the style of the newest model.
I love cooking as much as I love eating. This tool is amazing; it makes me want to grab one now!
I love kitchen aid mixers. My kitchen is rather small and there is not a lot of space so this smaller mixer looks ideal for our family of four.
That’s a good one. I also enjoy baking, and I am sure this equipment will be helpful. Thank you for sharing the recipe as well. I’m going to try it, for sure.
I like the mini mixer. The tapioca cake looks delicious and easy to make.
This looks awesome! I would probably bake more if I had this!
The mixer looks so useful and convenient. I want to make the cake asap. Thanks for sharing.

I’m a fan of the Kitchen Aid mixer. I don’t own one but all the cookers/bakers in my family do. This more is more my speed. I adore the colors they come in.
I have a similar one like this and loves it! This would be great as it saves space and my daughter would love a mini one like this.
I got my first KitchenAid stand mixer as a gift this past Christmas and boy, is it heavy. I may have to see about getting this one.
I love my KitchenAid mixer. I like that this one is lighter and doesn’t take up as much space.
I love my kitchen aid so much! You cake looks delicious!
This mini mixer sounds amazing and it’s so nice to be able to have something like this at home! I definitely want to have one! It has a lot of features as well! SO COOL!
I think kitchen aid was the brand that my aunty was telling me about as she uses their products. The mixer looks great as does the cake yum x
Oh my god I love the sound of tapioca cake it looks so delicious and it looks like the mixer does a good job as well x
Kitchen Aid is the brand I always turn to for my kitchen tools. Our mixer is the most-used item in my kitchen but I do agree it can be a pain to haul out and use. A smaller version would come in handy for little daily tasks.
I keep
Hearing great things about this mixer. Might have to really look into it after this.
I would absolutely adore one that is lighter. I have to move my kitchen aid alot and it is so darn heavy.
Love the Kitchen Aide mixers. They are so nice!
I love your recipe for tapioca cake. I must admit, I haven’t made one before, but I guess there is always a first time. Thank you for the recipe. I love the KitchenAid Artisan Mini too. Will recommend that to my cousin.
I will have to give this recipe a try. I will have to put a mixer on my wish list. I have a birthday coming up soon.
This recipe looks so delicious. I would love to get a KitchenAide mixer.
Ktichen Aid products are really durable and effective. We have one in our home and it is still working after years of use.
I could definitely enjoy a smaller Kitchen-Aid mixer and that recipe looks so yummy!
I have always wanted a Kitchen Aid. I plan to get one hopefully soon. They always look like they would work great and I”m sure I’d use it a lot.
Great post and review. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a Kitchen Aid appliance, but this one is one to ponder.
They always make the best appliances. This would make such an amazing tool in the kitchen.
This definitely looks like something I would want in my kitchen. I need to look into getting one!
I have wanted a kitchenaid mixer for a long time! This looks like a very yummy recipe, if only I had this machine…
That machine is a beauty! And so is the dessert! I remember taking a spoon and scrapping the inside of mine to get at all of the cake batter. Enjoyed your comments and next time I have to upgrade, I’ll put this on my list!
I don’t have one of these but I would love to get one. We love to bake together as a family and this would save so much time.
I love this kind of cake! My Vavo use to make it for us when I was younger!
I love the fact that you have all the power and design of the original but the convenient compact size – perfect blend of traditional and contemporary! All the easier to whip up healthy and delicious meals. I’ll be recommending it to all my clients!
I always hear how great these are. I don’t have one, but only because I hate being in the kitchen. I mostly buy my baked goods.
This mini mixer sounds great! I still have my mom’s Kitchenaid and love it but this would be great for tight kitchens.
I love Kitchen Aid. This mixer looks great, and your cake looks delicious.
This cake looks delicious! This Kitchen Aid mixer looks amazing too! I could really use it! xx corinne
I am loving this! We live in a small apartment and as much as I want a Kitchen Aid Mixer, we just don’t have the space for one. This looks like an awesome alternative for small spaces.
This is such a perfect idea. My sister-in-law lives in a very small apartment and she loves to use her KitchenAid but it’s so big that it takes up half the kitchen counters. I think I may get her this one for Christmas.
So if I get this, how much space on the kitchen worktop do I need? It looks huge 😛
Woo-hoo! I love your new silver KitchenAid stand mixer. In my California kitchen I have two white KitchenAid stand mixers, and in my Puerto Vallarta, Mexico kitchen I have a beautiful blue KitchenAid hand mixer. These beautiful kitchen tools stand up to years of use and are a wonderful investment. 🙂
We don’t have a huge kitchen, so smaller gadgets are a must for me, this sounds like a perfectly sized small gadget that helps you do so much.
Your cake looks so delicious! I don’t have a Kitchen Aid Mixer but I’m thinking I might need one!
My KitchenAide is still going strong, but I do wish that I could have a smaller one to keep on my counter at all times. The original is GREAT but so big and heavy. This would be perfect for quick batches of cookies, or muffins!
I love it! I have been seriously considering getting rid of my current stand mixer because it’s so freaking huge and heavy. Thanks for the heads up!
That’s so great! I used to have a stand mixer, but I got rid of it. It was so big and clunky! I need to get this bad boy.
OMG – a mini KitchenAid! I love it! I’ve loved my KitchenAid Mixer for over 20 years and it’s still going strong. This would be perfect for a new bride and I may be adding this to my birthday wishlist. It’s perfect for when I don’t want to mess with my heavy big boy KitchenAid.
I LOVE my kitchenaid. It’s hands down the best kitchen product that I’ve invested in. The Tapioca cake looks super yummy!
My daughter has a Kitchen Aid mixer similar to this. It might be a bit larger, but it isn’t the huge one. We love it! It makes baking so much easier! Your cake looks delicious!
I would LOVE to have one of these. I think I would use it almost every day!!
I have a traditional, huge steel, Kitchen Aid mixer- I like to think of the day I got it as the day I became a real baker and chef. I really would like a Mini though because it’s a pain to haul out for everyday baking tasks.
I absolutely love my kitchen aid but a smaller one that didn’t require so much muscle strength to move would be amazing. The tapioca cake looks so delicious!!
