The online community is incredibly friendly and helpful, which in part explains why the group is as popular as it is. There’s also a large team of moderators to make sure that the quality of the content is kept high. The gorgeous photos, amazing baking ideas, and inspiring atmosphere are also what help the community keep growing.

Funnily enough, the moderators do not allow anyone to post pictures “glorifying stand mixers.” However, items made using stand mixers are still allowed.
