The powdered sugar was everywhere. I was coated, the counter was coated, everything on the counter was coated. So take it from me - if you're tired step away from the mixer.

Don't Bake While Tired
A couple of weeks ago I was up late finishing cupcakes for a party the next day. I'd gotten a late start and I had to have the cupcakes ready to go first thing in the morning so even though I was really tired I was determined to finish. When I added the confectioner's sugar to the mixer for the frosting I realized that I needed to mix it in by hand because the mixer was putting too much of the sugar into the air. I reached for the switch to turn it down. In my sleepiness I did not turn the mixer off as was my intent, no I switched it to high. The result, as you can see, wasn't pretty.
The powdered sugar was everywhere. I was coated, the counter was coated, everything on the counter was coated. So take it from me - if you're tired step away from the mixer.

i'm sorry but i got a chuckle out of this :) what a pain in the ass to clean up though. hope people appreciated those cupcakes!
No worries. The first thing Amy did when she walked into the kitchen to see why I was cursing was laugh. And after a moment of indignation I joined her.
This is what the kitchen looks like each and every time I go in there to make anything.
Friends don't let friends use mixers when tired.
