So I tried using my whisk attachment instead of the regular one, to beat my cake mix.....I have no idea why, but I did it.....well I'm using a recipe that I've used a million times, (okay 6 times), and my cakes are flat. Did I over-beat the mix? Is that even possible? They look a little 'pancake-y'!! What the heck happened?! My cakes are always nice & high!! AAaaaah!! icon_cry.gif

thank you, reenie! I'm about to re-do the cakes and I'm definitly not going to use the whisk attachment....what was I thinking?! I've realized I'm much better at decorating than baking!!

yep that's what happened. You wisk when you want to add air like whipped cream and etc and when you just want to blend things you use the paddle attachment.

Yes, anytime you overbeat that can happen. You can overmix with the paddle too if you aren't careful, I finally figured out why one of my cakes fell in the middle. I remember getting distracted with the kids and overmixing.
