Hobart KitchenAid K4-B, Part 2
Did a fantastic job whipping up this homemade vanilla buttercream frosting. I noticed it’s best blending everything together slowly (I added the vanilla, butter, & cream first, and the remaining powdered sugar last), then rev it up for the fluffiest, lightest, most delicious frosting ever. I haven’t had results like this with any other mixer…nothing like a classic KA!

Hobart KitchenAid K4-B Mixer
Recently scored Hobart KitchenAid K4-B, made from 1944-62 according to the KitchenAid website. Not sure the year of this one, but I would guess mid-50’s. Looks identical to the ‘05 Classic sitting next to it, but it’s definitely better made, and a lot heavier 
Here it tackles the ingredients for a vanilla layer cake. I have another video showing the machine doing a great job on the buttercream frosting for the same cake…
I have to say these Hobart KitchenAids are and have always been my favorites; though I never had one until a couple of years ago. Sure, the Mixmasters are beautiful, but these have a retro-utilitarian look to them that you wouldn’t want to describe as “beautiful”, but plain COOL. I thought my 3-C was great, but that was until I used this one, what an awesome mixer. Notice the mechanically governed speed control, versus the later solid state, and the cool loop handle (looks like a big steel horn doesn’t it) attached to the head. Unfortunately this one is missing the tail fin for some reason.
