First project: Can....whoops....um, well. CAKE!
Well, after going to the GFS and Kroger for various supplies for the week + my mad science needs, Alex and I came home and I was going to make the mint drop candies detailed in the cookbook that came with the mixer.
Unfortunately, I added about double the cream cheese because I read 1 package of cream cheese, and not "one very small package of cream cheese." It tasted great, but it wasn't going to set up to be formed.
Of course, then we realized that I'd made an awesome mint cream cheese frosting.
After moving the frosting to a covered bowl for storage, I broke down the mixer, cleaned everything, and within about 5 minutes I had a pan of cake batter going into the oven.
The results should be done in about 10 more minutes, then we'll let it cool and see just what we got. :)
Edit: Ohhh, man. It's good! It's -damn- good.
I think the 'accidental' frosting is going to be kept around as a recipe for some time when I want to make chocolate mint brownies.

So I'm not complaining one bit about the color. Besides, black goes with everything!
