Bubble Wrap

No matter how old or young you are, one cannot resist the temptation and urge to pop bubble wrap.

Indeed, there is no greater stress reliever and 'pick me up' than popping bubble wrap.

Agreed?

The joys of licking cake batter

Baking a cake, frosting it, and serving it a bunch of friends who go absolutely wide eyed in admiration over it, is a delight every baker enjoys.

But an even greater joy is licking raw, creamy cake batter off the whisk.
Don't deny it!

Everyone, young and old alike, pets too, absolutely love eating cake batter. It brings out the child in us, of memories associated with birthdays, celebrations, picnics, tea time or baking disasters!

Honestly, nothing can compare to it; the anticipation while whisking the butter and sugar along with the eggs, imagining what it will taste like when the cocoa powder, vanilla essence and flavor is combined along with the flour, the despair while watching the batter fall in dollops into the greased pan, and finally the excitement of knowing that some of the batter managed to stick onto the sides of the mixing bowl just by sheer telepathy and defying Newton's laws of gravity.

The taste of cake batter just got better.

Eating or licking cake batter is not just an activity where one just eats uncooked batter off a spoon or a whisk. It is an art form- you need to ensure you get as much off the bowl and whisk by scraping spoons or plastic spatulas across the bowls, getting every creamy drop that didn't get away.

Apart from the physical activity of licking cake batter, there is the mental and emotional involvement.

While eating raw cake batter? You're making a fool of me?

I kid you not!

There is so much more to it-

While eating raw cake batter with my friends and family, I cherish the kinship that forms;the memories that one creates, the devilish behavior for more, the angelic behavior that gives, the love, joy and compassion that one feels when one shares it with others as you bake.

Wonderful isn't it? I think so.

And here's the best part-

If you eat the cake batter, the cake tastes better once it's baked!

Don't say i didn't warn you!
