Look, I’ve been there. I once baked a birthday cake for my mom, and right before I frosted it, a fat glob of oil landed on the batter. I scooped it out, crossed my fingers, and served it anyway. My mom said it was the moistest cake ever. She was being polite.
The point is: a little oil leak doesn’t make you a bad baker. It makes you a real baker. We all have kitchen casualties. So grab a paper towel, give your mixer a pep talk, and get back to making something delicious. You’ve got this.
Just maybe keep a paper towel under the mixer for the next few batches. Consider it a tiny security blanket for your baking adventures. Happy mixing, friend.
