[Mezzaluna]

I have a Kitchen Aid Ultra Power mixer. I have the pouring shield, which is supposed to help you keep from spraying dry ingredients all over the place when adding them to wet ingredients.

I confess I don't bake often, but today I baked some cookies and a carrot cake. In spite of the pouring shield and extra care to add the dry ingredients slowly, my counter was showered with flour.

What am I doing wrong?? Is it the steep shape of the bowl, or something I need to do differently?

(Momoreg, you had this mixer. Did you have this problem??)

Thanks!
