Yep. I pretty much just use it for...well...everything that requires mixing...as long as it's a volume of food large enough to feed an army.
I LOVE YOU! That is a GREAT mixer. I wanted to replace mine with a 10 qt Hobart but couldn't find one that I wanted.
My first K5A was made by Hobart, bullet proof. I replaced it with the Kitchen Aid Commercial 7 qt version. I love that thing. I always hated that you had to hand wash the beaters (make sure you hand wash yours sunni unless they are plastic coated or stainless steel). The commercial had a stainless beater and nesting bowls, I LOVE IT! I could toss the bowl and beaters in the dishwasher and when you are pumping out pies and cakes and fudge etc.... you need the dishwasher LOL
Oh yes and I also have an Electrolux Assistent (the Bugatti), of mixers ha!. Here ya go my two best babies. I wanted a spiral mixer for my kaiser rolls and bagels. But the electrolux kneads bread fabulously and no walking and a timer so no need for a gigantic spiral on the floor LOL (oh and yes I would).
Here's a batch of fudge in my Assistent. That roller is just like hand kneading bread and look at that scraper go yum!!
Sunni you need a tempering machine. It would give you another dimension to the look and your baked goods look completely professional. They are amazing looking. You do very good work.I have a chocolate temperer that I use at the holidays when I dip. But it would be nice for your baked goods so you can get that sheen on the drizzles. You do absolutely smashing looking baked goods. I wish you lived close and could just come use my kitchen (so I could eat the offering LOL). I'd even put in a better oven for you! Girl you got coffee shop baking game down pat! You'd do so well down here. Well not where I live but Beverly Hills and the swank portions (not the barrio/hood), LOL.
