chili pepper vs. cinnamon

so today i made German Pancakes and they turned out amazing! they climbed up the side of the casserole dish evenly on all sides. then mom went to find cinnamon to put on it and she grabbed chili pepper and put it on hers before she realized it. it was funny. i was just laughing at her. well she finds the cinnamon and puts in on and then she lets me try a piece after she had a few pieces herself and surprisingly the cinnamon and chili pepper neutralized each other out. there was just a really small kick to the pancake because of the chili pepper but it was so small i dont think that anyone else would have noticed.
