A few weeks ago, my mixer broke. I was sad, but I needed to put off buying a new one. Then, a few days later, my santa messaged me inquiring about the mixer I used to make cupcakes. I checked my comment history, and I had never mentioned the broken mixer. I can only assume he was granted temporary psychic powers from the reddit gods.

My happiness upon seeing the Amazon box at my front door was only outmatched by the feeling I had when I opened it to see that it was the prettiest pink mixer I ever did see. My cat gave me a look of disapproval as I squealed, "OOOhhh! It's pink!" but that didn't stop me from immediately putting it to use.

Next, the challenge: a message that said "You should make platypus cupcakes... that would be awesome"

Hmm.. a platypus? Those beaver things with duck bills? Okay, challenge accepted.
