Hey! Does anyone have an electric mixer I could borrow for a few minutes? Will clean and give right back! Will also give a slice of pumpkin bread with cream cheese frosting haha

I don’t have a hand mixer but I have an immersion blender and a food processor (or a kitchen aide). Will any of those work?
