also have my own wedding cake business
I met someone at a recent cooking class who uses her thermomix for wedding cake icing.  She wasn't a big cook, but said it was fantastic for the icing.

I've had my TMX for about a month.  I went do a demo 3 months before and refused to be sucked in or conned.  So instead I spent the next approx 6 weeks analysing everything I was cooking, and how much easier it could/would be.  And since the purchase, I haven't looked back.

Hi Mel I am sure that you will find the demo very informative. There are several ways to buy your thermomix, the consultant will tell you about them at the demo.
good luck

Hi Mel.  I  saw it in a friends house when I went to an Enjo demo and it wasn't  even plugged in. I declared then and there I would have one. I tried for ages to get my DD aged 41 and single to buy one even though she is not much of a cook. She resisted for a few weeks then had to have it as well. Now she can't wait to get home to cook. Yeah!

Perhaps ask the demonstrator if they can make a couple of things you think you'll make a lot.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Cookie - they dont have a set "menu" of what they cook? The lady coming to my house i think is relatively new to Thermomix selling - I am pretty sure thats what she said anyways. I will ask her today when I speak to her - thanks for the tip.

Hi. Once you'll see it you'll buy it  ;D
THe menu for the demo's does run to a bit of a plan generally: sorbet, bread, dip, salad, main and custard. But have a chat to your consultant about it. It may mean that you will need to provide a few more ingredients, but you can work it out with them.
All the best trying to resist  ;) ;D

Thanks I love bimby - demo is on Monday or should i say D Day (although from the sounds of everyone it might be the beginning of having a life again and enjoying cooking at the same time)

And the demonstrator has been kind enough to tailor the demo to include the things i wanted to see the most.

I will let all of you know Monday night - I am pretty sure you can already guess the outcome.

Hi Mel,

Welcome.  I just know you will love your new machine so congratulations on the new purchase.

I have all these gadgets at home (they don't call me the gadget girl for nothing) and in the few short weeks of having my machine I have not used them at all - but I have used my Thermomix.  I haven't bought bread since and I have even made my own butter (plain and garlic).  I do feel like I am eating healthier and at least I now know what is going in my food.

Trust me, once you start cooking away you will forget the price.

Happy cooking,

Sue from Adelaide
