Well, I made a mistake while baking last week that resulted in lots of extra cupcakes. I originally intended to make about 4 dozen chocolate raspberry cupcakes for my co-workers, the fella's co-workers, and my friends' party. I make my recipe and double it, the whole time forgetting that the original recipe only makes 12 cupcakes. I end up with half the cupcakes I need, and decide that this is a good time to try a new recipe--Walnut and Maple Cupcakes from Ms. Martha herself.
I double that batch and have everything mixed together in my KitchenAid mixer when I realize that the original recipe makes 2 dozen. OOPS! I have just made many more cupcakes than I needed...
My KitchenAid, fondly known as the Orange Krush, was working through the giant bowl of batter as though it was air. I remember the days when I used a hand mixer and constantly waited for it to die in a dramatic fashion. Luckily, that never happened. I still use it for mixing frosting in the double boiler, but my KitchenAid is the Queen of Frosted's Kitchen! (Thanks to Mom for the best Christmas present ever!)

I too love my kitchenaid. During the Christmas season I can be seen washing that stainless steal bowl at least 3 or 4 times a day. I would go out and buy another one, if only they were not $50.00 plus. :o(
Jealous! Alas, as a broke grad student, I have no KitchenAid mixer at the moment (crossing my fingers for a birthday pressy!).
Interestingly enough, I detest hand mixers to the point of opting to stir by hand most times.
Love the orange color!
