clean kitchen counter

I baked this afternoon for the second time this weekend. A sign of a good weekend. But alas, my baking is also very messy. And now I know why the recipe calls for using a hand mixer at high speed versus your Kitchenaid fitted with a paddle. The volume of vanilla sugar and butter in the bowl is great in the Fragrant Orange and Lemon cake. And the high volume speed of the Kitchenaid flings the contents of the bowl all over the counter, floor, wall etc. But I have a lovely cake cooling and my counter is now clean.
