Mostly though, it is a thoroughly enjoyable activity!The Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-808949113562898232016-02-15T06:49:48.058+00:002016-02-15T06:49:48.058+00:00I was particularly interested in "spatula&quo...I was particularly interested in "spatula". I notice you make no reference to licking the bowl. Reading your words, my mouth was actually watering at the thought of all that lovely cake mix left in the bowl. I would have eaten it. Do you take a position on eating raw cake mixture?

Stewpots are only included if you use them, at least once, in a cake or dessert related way i.e. stewing fruit for a pie or making jam.<BR/>I hope this helps<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the CAFTA nomination - you raise an interesting point; can cake win if it doesn't appear.
