I just went out for a run and as I got to the top of this really vicious hill (through the University Vale for all you Brummie Hitchers) this complete tosser, sat in traffic at the lights, yelled...

Does anyone have any advice on buying a good food mixer for regular baking - possibly for use in the future for cake selling - models to go for or avoid in your experience etc?
