Make the bitter batter better

I've been doing a lot of baking of late and for the first time I noticed the scent of butter. I usually use a hand-held mixer (which results in keeping one's distance)but having to bake four cakes in succession, I thought it would be easier to use the stand mixer. I was bending over the bowl as the butter was getting pre-beaten into softness and suddenly I noticed the lovely scent. I can only imagine fresh butter to be even better. So the next time you're baking something, take a second and check out the smell as you mix it. I just felt the need to share that with the world. At one in the morning.
