Fired up!

Didn't Alton Brown start the craze for having flames painted on your KitchenAid mixer?

I personally would not do it (I like the elegance of my plain cobalt blue KA mixer), but the photos are pretty fun.

Looks like the site I link to goes the cheaper route and sells sticker kits, so you don't have to pay big to have your mixer actually painted. (Via Cookies in Heaven.)
