Warm and versatile, the CREAM Ankarsrum Assistent has a soft neutral shade that complements both classic and modern kitchens. Its understated look lets the mixer’s Scandinavian design and long-lasting build quality shine through.
Why choose the Ankarsrum Assistent?
The Ankarsrum Assistent is a Swedish classic, built to last and designed for serious bakers. Unlike most mixers, it rotates the stainless steel bowl from the base, mimicking hand-kneading to develop dough with less heat build-up and superb structure. Quiet, powerful and compact, it handles everything from 350 g to 5 kg of dough with ease.
Durability you can trust
Many Assistents made over 60 years ago are still in daily use today, and even early attachments remain compatible. Every new Assistent includes a 7-year manufacturer’s warranty, with BakeryBits as the official UK & Ireland service centre for genuine spares, repairs and expert support.
Versatile and expandable
Supplied with a full set of bowls, roller, dough hook, whisk and more, the Assistent is ready to make bread, cakes, meringues and enriched doughs straight out of the box. Expand its capabilities with optional accessories including pasta rollers, mincers, graters and blender – or upgrade to the Deluxe kit for popular extras in one bundle.

Further Details
The Ankarsrum Assistent Original has been handcrafted in Sweden since the 1940s, earning a reputation for durability and outstanding performance.
Unlike most mixers, it uses a rotating stainless steel bowl driven from the base, closely mimicking hand-kneading for excellent dough structure
and reduced heat build-up.
The stainless steel and plastic bowls, along with most accessories, are dishwasher-safe.
The motor base should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. With proper care, Ankarsrum mixers often last for decades –
many early models are still in daily use more than 60 years later.

Perfectly Plump Hot Cross Buns
This is my favourite recipe for Hot Cross Buns, slightly adapted from Richard Bertinet's superb version. I find that making a tangzhong (a flour-and-liquid roux) gives these buns the perfect texture, a soft, pliable crumb with just enough tenacity to hold up under a generous smear of butter without tearing or collapsing.
I’ve never been a fan of most ... Read more
Easter Simnel Muffins
These Easter Simnel Muffins are a nod to the larger Simnel Cake often baked at Easter. A little easier and quicker than the large cake, they make for a great alternative, easy to share, store, and pack up for an Easter picnic!
For a classic touch, top each muffin with a marzipan ball, symbolizing the apostles in the traditional Simnel Cake. Or, for a more playful, creative ... Read more
