my actual electric mixer smoking!

...........
it's true.
i might very well be the official world's worst baker.
you see, to know me, is to know that i'm a terrible terrible
baker.{i like to call myself an *optimistic* baker: don't have an
ingredient needed in the recipe? no worries: just substitute! )
no baking soda?
how about more baking powder instead?!
or
can't find the measuring spoons? how about
i'll just estimate with the palm of my hand!
or
the recipe SAYS it'll take 20 minutes but 10 will probably work, right?
apparently the science of
baking doesn't LOVE creative substitutions as much as i do! hence,famously horrible cakes, hard-as-nails cookies, and pies you can use
as doorstops!)
but does this stop me from baking?
of course not.
this week marks a baking high.
during the making of the official 2012 mr. rikrak birthday cake (a scrumptious vanilla cheesecake with chocolate lace accents) the electric beaters actually died.
here's the scene:
i combined the ingredients.
i began mixing.
the mixer smoked.
then it sparked.
then it died.
honest.
baking fireworks.
needless to say that when even the appliances call it quits, best i take a baking break.
RIP mixer.
so i'll leave all the great baking to you nicies!
until i feel like experimenting again... look out kitchen!
have a great weekend, cuties!
confess - are you a good baker? yay or nay?
