I can't do it

I can't bake without a mess. Even with a mixer there's always a pile of batter that sticks to the whizzy thing. I do try to spatula it off and spoon it off and knife it off but it just won't come clean without the use of fingers!


There's always a drip or two or three that runs down the sides when spooning it into the tin. How should I get that off so it won't burn in the oven?


The floor gets covered with flour when I open the flour bags. I've never opened a flour bag yet that doesn't spill its contents all over.


It even sticks to the bowl and ends up around the sink. The bowl, the bowl - just won't come clean no matter how much I spoon out. I end up chasing little bits around the sides and the bottom. Oh woe is me. I hate baking - such a mess.


Mind you the the finished item is not so bad.


I didn't use my fingers to rescue the drip!

  1. Home baking is worth a bit of mess! I like your blog a lot and have been looking at many of your past posts. Hubbie and I were in your neck of the woods last week to enjoy the great Neil Diamond concert! x

  4. I'm the same! I work to close to the edge of the kitchen counter so I get flour on the floor too!
