I want a KitchenAid like little kids want to stick their fingers in the wedding cake!
White people like a lot of stuff, and you can check out the rest of the list here - what a great way to get to know another whitey, like me! (I like that it’s a list. As a whitey myself, this helps. We like lists.)
… In order for them to truly enter into whitedom, they need to own the holy grail of white kitchens - the KitchenAid stand mixer (above). They will match this mixer to their kitchen’s color scheme and it will make up the focal point. And much like many religious artifacts, it will remain untouched for months and even years, sitting on the counter to be admired as a testament to their lifestyle.
(From this guy)
I don’t know where this strong urge is coming from - to want this paddle-tongued steel throne! I know I want it in slate though. It’ll probably match my other new kitchen gadgets.
*note - I really really do want a KitchenAid stand mixer! Sooooo bad!
What color KitchenAid are you putting on your registry? How do you plan to worship your KitchenAid?

Lol… Mine is red… And I pine for it! And yes, it is likely to sit on my countertop in effigy!
we asked for a “Martha Stewart color” blue one, We hope we to get it!
We put the stainless steel one on our registry and no one bought it for us. So sad!
White. Everything must be Kitchenaid and white. Sigh, I just want it right now…
I put the pink one on my registry… I had to fight with my fiance to be allowed to but I won out!! 
It’s amazing what happens when I have the scanner… lol
mine is apple green! myfavorite color. The hilarious part is that I got the mixer, but our tiny apartment doesn’t currently have the counterspace to house it! lol.
I received my red beauty from my mom as a threat to start baking and cooking. Luckily I didn’t have to wait to get wed to get one because I went from a repitoire of grilled cheese and break and bake cookies to gourmet! Moms really do know best.
we bit the bullet and have a gorgeous, gorgeous bright yellow one in our kitchen, and we aren’t even engaged (hey, we needed a mixer to make cookies and wanted a pasta maker too!) but hahaha, it is the “focal point” of our tiny little apartment kitchen (it’s “too heavy” to put away when it’s not being used, even if it does take up a lot of precious counter space! hehe…) i keep saying “no le creuset” until the wedding registry, and hoping he gets the hint
A stainless steel one! We both love to cook, and my fiance makes his own homemade bread and pizza dough, so our current mixer gets a lot of use. It’s on it’s last legs though, hence the reason we want a Kitchenaid.
@akd0110: haha - don’t even get me started on le creuset! oh I want it so bad!!
I got a white one (because it was on sale). I wanted a pink one, but I’m perfectly OK with the one I have. I’m just happy to have one! It’s practical and it goes with the other appliances. I think all kitchen aid mixers should be proudly displayed on counters. My mom has hers on the counter, but covers it with a dust cover. People who visit always tell her that they would never cover that thing up, but leave it out to show it off.
lol i love that website.
i’m not white but i also love my kitchenaid in stainless steel
@Miss Bear Cub: me too me too! but it’s the closest thing to an ultimatum i’m giving him, he keeps mentioning an outlet store where we can apparently get it at more reasonable prices, but i’ve put my foot down that we can’t get it ’til we make a registry. he’s an alpha-cook/foodie, so that’s my angle for now 
Mr. B and I got ours as a Christmas gift last year from his Ma….its beautiful and wouldnt trade it for the world! I think it may actually be the same as the one you posted…a bit of shimmery slate, but not shiney!…and its a lift, not a tilt…and its a Professional (lots o’power!)…
We make homemade bagels and its a miracle worker yay to being super white and domestic hah
We got ours in chrome. It is oh so beautiful, and we’ve already used it… but mostly we just adore it! I don’t know, though, if I’d characterize it as a one race/ethnicity thing. I think Kitchen Aid transcends racial/ethnic background
i dream and long for a hot pink one….but i don’t think they make them anymore =(
I’m obviously not a real bride. Those stand-up mixers scare me. Which also must mean I am not really white. (Does this mean my skin will finally tan?)
P.S. - Christian Lander, the author of “Stuff White People Like” was just featured on SMP… well, he and his bride’s wedding anyhow! I was totally excited to see it. (everyone probably already knows that…but if you didn’t…. http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/06/04/real-wedding-jess-and-christian/ )
@doctorgirl: I agree with you 100% - I just think the website stuff white people like is hilarious! very tongue-in-cheek.
It took me 25 years to get mine! Do it, girls, do it! Put it on that registry! How in the world did I ever do without it? Oh…and to answer the question, white.
I have been in love with those mixers since birth practically….my mom always had one and after I moved out I had no idea how to bake without it. Its on my registry!
I didn’t register for one, but my aunt gave us a Viking Stand Mixer as our first engagement gift. All I can say - WOW. I had no idea I even wanted one until I had it, and, for someone who doesn’t bake a lot, I use it all the time.
I actually broke the “cool” code and got a Sunbeam mixer. It’s stainless looking, and looks very retro. I looooove it.
I had to use my sisters kitchen aid once and didnt like the room I had to dump my ingredients in. But i hope you get it. mixers are a definite necesity in a kitchen
My FI & FPIL got me a BLOOOOOO one for Christmas a few years ago. It matches our kitchen and sits in a cabinate unused for most of the time - much to their dismay. I need to use it more but I just don’t have the energy, maybe this weekend though.
Love the whitey list! HAHA
Haha! I love that site.
My registry-mixer is almond. to match my appliances of course!! lol.
btw you might find it hilarious to know that the picture of the stand mixer on the stuff white people like page for kitchen gadgets was lifted from weddingbee! haha!
I think if you will truly use it you should put it on your registry. I think … a lot of ppl put it on their registry bc it’s the IT thing to put on there. But if you will use it by all means put it on there! You might be surprised.
The FI got me one as a surprise a few years ago for Xmas. I LOOOOVE it. Use it all the time for baking, cooking. We want attachments for it like making pasta and stuffing sausage, etc, etc. KitchenAid attachments on registry. Awesome. =)
I registered for the Martha Stewart blue! I love that color! I also registered for the blender and hand mixer and a bunch of baking items in the same color. I am absolutely in love with that color…
hahha, TOO funny, my FI and I actually refer to the KitchenAid as the “Married Mixer”. It seems like a pretty highly ranked factor on the ‘reasons to get married list’.
sidenote: we already had one, but decided to go ahead and get married anyway
Oh no, I think you just got me addicted to that website! It’s hilarious. My fave so far is the one about dogs - it hits pretty close to home!
As for the big mixer, my fiance is the one who insisted on registering for one. He picked out the chrome version (of course).
Green Apple. I don’t really bake (my fiance does that; I *cook*), but I sure do like to accessorize.
We have a black one. It was from my parents and was almost the first wedding gift we received!
Ha! That list was pretty freakin’ funny!
I too am dying for a kitchen aid stand mixer, in green apple please.
I was going to register for the color of the one pictured but wasnt’ going to register for that particular model. However, my mom just bought the one pictured for $169.99 on sale at Kitchen Collection!!!! So now that she has one if I ever need it I can borrow hers. 
We (or I) added a red one to our registry. It was actually the first thing that bought off the registry too (thanks to my FMIL!).
I haven’t used it yet but I cannot wait to use it for all my baking.
I registered for the red one. I kind of really threw it in there thinking, hey, if someone gets it, sweet!!! But I really really really do want one. Being Mexican, lol, it makes it easier to kneed the maza when making tamales, cause trust me, that’s a PIA!! Keeping my fingers crossed! =) Hope you get yours too!!
I was pretty lucky…when I was in my early 20’s my mother bought me a white one and I swore it would only be in my kitchen for decorative purposes but I’ve actually USED it. Shocking to me because I thought I would never cook or bake and I find myself doing both. All I can say is it’s fabulous! My FMIL has a few of the attachments and has made her own ground meat and pasta and they turned out great. I really would have preferred a slate/silvery color but the white is fine and I can’t be picky.
we registered for the stainless steel one. it was one of the first things we received but it’s been sitting in it’s box since my MOH already tsk tsk’ed me for opening up and using the coffeemaker we received. i can’t wait to use it!
Oooh I want one so bad! But I’ve resisted putting one on our registry. We live in a tiny house (800 sq feet) so counter space is at a premium. But the thing is, I would use it and abuse it with all my might! But between the space issue and it being so dang expensive, I just can’t bring myself to register for it. Oh but if I did, it would be in the cobalt blue.
@Bear Cub- I like it too. So busted on so many of the things on his list!
I’m not white, but I can definitely relate to a lot of things on that list, including the love of the KitchenAid mixer! I don’t quite know what color my FI and I would want to get just yet–they’re all so pretty.
p.s.- My cousin and I actually bought the SWPL book after “reading” it randomly at an airport bookstore and couldn’t put it down haha. I agree with doctorgirl and Miss BC–It’s totally relatable to all races of people (although there did seem to be a “commonality,” if that makes sense). I think they made that the title just to grab people’s attention.
How do I pick the correct color if I’m not sure what the kitchen in our future home will look like?!?!?
@akd0110: we have an outlet nearby! i go in a covet a lot of stuff but have no use for any of it until i move out on my own. oh well. lol.
and i’m planning on getting an apple green color one too. i think i’ll splurge and buy it for myself for a birthday or “happy friday” gift instead of waiting to get engaged. i just can’t wait that long. but currently i’m happy with the red one i helped my mom buy after i killed her old smalll mixer with some gingerbread cookie dough.
I registired but didn’t get.. 
Which is understandable since its pricey but one can hope. I drooled and oogled at pictures and stalke CL on a daily basis.
And one magical day this week as fate would have it, someone posted a purple beauty for 130. Long story short it cost me 120 all 3 attachments 2 bowls and a splash guard. It sits beautifully on my counter when I am not using it…THe end.
Maybe that’s why I don’t get the point of the Kitchen Aid mixer… I’m not white No but seriously… I’m to avid of a baker to have a mixer like this… I utilize several handheld mixers with various bowls for different batters… it’s the perfect system when baking in large quantities
We didn’t register for one because we don’t have room in our tiny NYC kitchen I didn’t think I would miss it but I still do sometimes…
I’ve registered for a stainless steel one. Haha I have also made up my mind if no one buys it, I am getting it with the discount they give you off of unbought registry gifts. Even if it is the ONLY thing I buy!
I have conviced myself that if I get it my homemade bread will come because as of yet, I have not made a loaf I like. Then, I will make honemade bread all the time of course!
I really wanted a blue one since its my fave color, but since my favorites and styles and kitchens will change over the years, we just went with silver so that we wouldnt have to worry about it clashing or hating the color later.
i guess i’m lucky, when i moved out by myself, my parents bought me a kitchen aid mixer. so i already have it in white, so it will match anywhere. so instead of registering for the mixer, i’m registering for some of the accessories i’ve been wanting.
My mom offered to get us the Kitchenaid mixer as our wedding gift before I even had a chance to register for it. I like the way she thinks! We’re getting the stainless steel colored one to match our appliances (because I’m OCD and things have to match, ha ha!)
Also I saw a book version of “Stuff White People Like” at Urban Outfitters recently, for anyone who would like to use that humor as coffee table adornment.
@Miss Bear Cub: That is hilarious that it came from here! nice catch
PS: If you like funny blogs like that check out Cake Wrecks - kind of weddingy in it’s hilarious way!
I STILL want one and we didn’t get one for the wedding.. I thought I might forget about it and move on, but I can’t… maybe someone will see this and give us a good christmas present
I got the stainless steel. I wanted the red, but FI said that he’d rather have one that would match any kitchen we had.
We just got the exact one you pictured as a shower gift from my FMIL. With the ice cream attachment of course!! It’s gorgeous in our almost all-white kitchen!
Stuff White People Like cracks me up… I’ve sent many a link to Mr. Peng
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/01/20/11-asian-girls/
Obviously, this one tops, because it’s so us (and haha… we met at UCLA)!
Ours is sparkly black (forgot what it’s called) and Mr. Peng uses it all the time to make cookies! I wish I got apple green but I got greedy when it came in the mail (the black one, i forgot to switch the color) and opened it and used it. Doiiii.
Umm guilty as charged… I have the Green Apple mixer and it has stood - untouched - on my counter for the past 10 months… but it looks so pretty! And it matches our dishes!
I registered for the sparkly black one too (it’s onyx, I think, Mrs. Peng), but my uncle who is the official buyer-of-KitchenAids-for-niece’s-weddings (he got my cousin one too) got me the same white one he got my cousin. Sigh. Actually, none of my proposed color scheme for my kitchen worked out — it was going to be black and blue, but we ended up with NO blue anything, black utensil crock and flour/sugar canisters (hindsight: BAD! is now smudgy with white floury fingerprints!) and everything else is white… including the walls which the landlord was SUPPOSED to paint yellow, but are now a dingy grey because I set the stove on fire. LOL, sorry, stream-of-consciousness commenting. Must be lunch time.
we didn’t register for one b/c “we” don’t think we’ll use it. “I” still think we would by all means use a nice slate or blue one….so we’ll see since I’m the keeper of the gift cards we’ve received.
I received an older white one that my mom purchased from a friend and ended up hating! Can you believe it!?! It sits on top of my fridgerator due to the lack of coutnerspace. I do bring it down about once a month to use it though. I also have another white one coming my way that was my grandmothers who passed away. What to do with 2?
LOL! I LOVE Stuff White People Like! Every time I read a new one, I’m like, “Yep, so true”
We registered for the Martha Stewart Blue one to match our kitchen, but I promise I’m going to use it
P.S. I think I’m getting mine @ my shower this weekend b/c it is missing from my registry
We registered for the onyx one but didn’t get it. Maybe one day I will finally break down & buy one!
I found my white one on sale on Black Friday 2 years ago. I really want the red one, but how could I pass up the sale?
My then-fiance got the pink one for me for Christmas. I love it SO much!
LOL! I first heard about “Stuff White People Like” from my BM Kris — who’s latina, and “saw” me in every. single. list. item.
We’re going to for the silver (”chrome”) since we have no idea what our future kitchen will look like!
I love my KitchenAid - I’d make out with it if it would only kiss me back! Those mixers are damn frosty.
I’m a part-time pastry chef and I’ve had my KitchenAid for 8 years, so obviously I am not registering for one! But I AM registering for some pretty high-end All-Clad cookware, Le Creuset pieces, and new bakeware. I cook and bake a LOT (and I consider myself to be pretty good at both), so I figured that if people who don’t know how to do anything in the kitchen register for expensive kitchen items (I can’t tell you how many people I know whose idea of dinner is ordering takeout yet they have KA mixers and Wusthof knives), I should definitely register for the good stuff! Sometimes I think I should register for something a little less expensive, but then I remember that we need to eat every day so it’s worth it
OMG I so have that and Le Creuset on our registry too!! The mixer in black or chrome, and the le creuset I really want in the caribbean but its hard to find, so I may have to go with a neutral color since we don’t have our house yet. But the slate is a strong contender since it has meaning
