Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer: A Christening

Tomorrow, my boyfriend is whisking me off to the tropical isle of Jamaica for my birthday, which you all should be well aware of by now (the birthday, not the isle. Everybody gets a free pass on geography knowledge at CupcakesOMG!) Even though I won't be getting my hair wet or tanning or hanging with the locals, we're gonna have a GREAT time!!!!! 

Since we're going to be extremely out of town on my actual birthday, he decided to give me my present last night: the pièce de résistance of my pink KitchenAid collection.

 I even look good in the reflection of the bowl!!! How DO I do it??

As much as I wanted to break into this bad boy last night, I just didn't have time, what with packing my 17 outfits for our 5 day trip. It's cool 'cus idk what I'd make anyway. There are so many options!! I could make mayonnaise, meringue cookies, or any of my delectable cupcake recipes.  

I'm pretty sure there's some cardinal rule about making your first batch of anything from a gifted KitchenAid stand mixer for the very person who gifted it in the first place. If I know one thing about Kyle, it's that he likes beer. And the only thing he likes more than beer is chocolate and peanut butter. That's about where my knowledge of things Kyle likes ends, as I find paying attention any more than that takes away from my valuable time in front of the mirror.

These look pretty good:
