Oh my gosh, Molly, I had a very similar experience on Valentine's Day in college. It did not involve a cake, but it did involve a "Falling in Love Chocolate Mousse Pie" that I made for my boyfriend along with a chicken pot pie for dinner (I like pie). I was *also* lacking in the mixer/beater/whisk department and spent over an hour whipping several cups of cream with a fork into something that was *almost* the right consistency. It turned out pretty damn good, especially considering what I was working with, but was maybe not quite as firm as it should have been. And I hear ya about those toned arms, girl (insert flexing bicep emoji here). Do I get extra domestic points? It must have impressed the boyfriend, though, because I married him!

I wanted to add that I did all this in a cocktail dress. It was probably my peak of cooking style because now I just do it in sweats.
