Equipment for Sale

I hope you find things you can use!  I am only available on weekends - sorry; I know that stinks for your own wedding schedule.  I can't ship or deliver - call me for directions if you want to come out and look. 

Hobart 20-Quart Mixer with SS bowl, paddle, and whip. Great mixer! I bought it 4 years ago, reconditioned, and have used it gently (only about 175 wedding cakes). One wire is broken off the whip. VERY HEAVY - bring 2-3 people to lift it. 

$2200
 

 

Garland electric convection oven with rolling cart.  Has been great for me, but there are 3 small quirks you should know about: 

(1) light doesn't work and it's not just a matter of changing bulb

(2) fan can't  be shut off while oven is on 

(3) it blows old crumbs around (do all convection ovens do that?) and you can't prevent it completely even by vacuuming out the oven - so instead you can see I have two half-sheet pans on bottom of oven.  I keep them there, sprayed with Baker's Joy, so they can trap the crumbs.

18" square silverplate plateau, Spanish hammered design.  One leg is dented - nobody has ever noticed!

$40.
 

 
22" round silverplate cake plateau.  Traditional design.

$50
 

 
"Antique?" silverplate 22" cake stand.  I love this one.  It has beautiful color and tone.  There are some spots where the brass underneath the silverplate is showing, but I think it's actually gorgeous that way.

$35
 

 

 
18" round silverplate cake plateau.  Rose design.

$40.
 

 
18" square silverplate cake plateau.  Rose design.

I have two sets of cake stands (I'm using both sets in the photo at left).  They are glass-topped, and each set has an 8" 10" and 12" stand. 

$20/set.

 

 
18" square gold-tone cake plateau.

I also have a 22" round gold-tone cake plateau (same pattern - I don't have a picture) for $40.
 

 
18" square plateau.  $15

SOLD

Spatulas, from 14" to 6".  $10.  The magnetic rack is not included.
 

 
Wilton cake pans.  Two One set of hexagons, two one set of ovals.  $5 per set.
 

 
Six 4" pans and LOTS of plastic containers.  You can see this is how I did my sample cakes.  This way I could make up a batch and freeze them.  I would bring the icing separately in little condiment cups.  It worked out great - I didn't need to spend time decorating samples, and the customers could mix-and-match cake with icing.

$15 for the pans and plastic containers.
 

 
Set of round-bottom cake pans.  These are meant for fondant cakes, but I only did buttercream.  I loved them when I was making chocolate cake and had to bevel the top edge - if I used straight-bottom pans, I risked letting chocolate cake show through.

The set includes 6", 8", 9", 10", 12", 14", 16".  They are all 3" deep.

$35 for the set.
 

 
CAKE PANS!

I have them from 2" to 20".  

I have two complete sets of 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,18".  All are 2" high.  Most of these pans are Linnea or Pfeil & Holing (because they are nice and thick); only the 6" pans are Wilton.  $40 per set.

Ask if you don't want a set but are looking for a specific size - I have some extras of several sizes, including some 3" high pans.
 

 
Novacart gold boards (the thick style).  I have almost every size they make.   They are beautiful, fast, convenient.  I liked to hot-glue a white corrugated board to the bottom of the larger ones for support.   I have about $275 worth of them, and will sell the lot for $90.
 

 

Novelty Cake Pans.

Oh man, I've got 'em. 

$5 for Kransekake (Norwegian wedding cake) set. 

$3 each for single pans.  I have more not pictured - if you're looking for something specific, please ask! 

 

 
Full size sheet pans - $5

(Sorry - no half-size left.)
 

 

Square cake pans.

I have two complete sets of 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14".  Some (the darker ones) are Linnea or MagicLine, which have very sharp corners at the bottom.  Others (the lighter ones) are Pfeil & Holing, which have a curved bottom.  $45 per set.

I also have one 16" square for $9.

Two sets of 9x13,10x15,12x18.  $18/set.

Stainless Steel hand sink with faucet and hardware.  Has never been installed.

$40
 

 
Mini-Fridge - but it's probably the biggest mini-fridge  they make.  This is the one they usually carry at Sam's (I bought it there and have been using it in my classroom). 

$40
 

 
Insulated bags

The red bag is a giant pizza delivery bag - though you can see that it just flips shut (so you have to tape the corners if you think you need to), it is shown holding an 18" bakery box!  I have two - $5 each.

The blue bag is a Sam's insulated bag.  It is shown holding a 12" bakery box, but can hold a 14".  I have two - $2 each.
 

 
Wilton mini loaf pans. 

5-3/4 x 3 x 2

I have 12 of them - $2 each
 

 
Case of 1,000 Novacart panetone baking molds.  $20

These are good dressy sleeves for giant cupcakes.

You can bake in these, but only breads look  pretty because cakes shrink slightly when they cool, which puckers the edges.
 

 
Rubbermaid containers. 

Two 8-quarts have been used gently; $6 each.

The 4-quart has never been used.  $5.
 

 
Really big sifter and the bowl I use to sift into.  That's a teaspoon next to it, so you can compare the size.

$12 for sifter and bowl.
 

 
Batter dispenser

This is pretty small - only holds about 2 cups, but it's very handy for making cupcakes.  $2
 

 
Brand-new coffee maker, but it needs an $8 valve that you have to send off for.  Genius here thought I could modify it for something I was doing - didn't work, and I never had need to use it so I never sent off for the valve.

$5
Didn't see it?  I probably have it.  Mini-loaf pans (seems like thousands), 18" and 20" half-circle pans that will fit in a home oven, lettuce keepers (turn them upside down and they are perfect anniversary tier cake containers), condiment cups, etc., etc.
