Watch cream closely during whipping.
Because your KitchenAid ® mixer whips
so quickly, there are just a few seconds
between whipping stages. Look for these
characteristics:
Begins to thicken
Cream is thick and custard-like.
holds its Shape
Cream forms soft peaks when Wire Whip
is removed. Can be folded into other
ingredients when making desserts and
sauces.

on cakes or desserts, or filling for
cream puffs.
