Does Your Child Lick The Spoon After Mixing The Cake?

I remember doing that as a kid round my nans house on a saturday afternoon me and my sister used to fight over the bowl aswell as the spoon. I miss being a kid! Why don't you want your daughter to do it?

I use to lick the spoon when I was a kid many times and I did not ever get sick. To answer your question I let my children lick the spoon before I add the eggs after I add the eggs I don't let them lick the spoon but if they did lick the spoon without me knowing it I don't think that it will make them sick.

Oh yes, of course..Whats more fun than licking the spoon..They love it and I like watching their faces..It dosnt hurt them..

dear Nardz13, Kid is kid. I do not find any harm in kid licking the spoon after mixing the cake. After all kid enjoy licking the spoon after mixing the cake. I do no know why you object to this. I allow kid to lick the spoon because it is their one way of enjoyment. Why I should put a ban to their enjoyment.

My daughter is too young to want to do anything like that. However I have been guilty of licking the spoon since I was a kid and I still do. So far I haven't gotten sick from it. I understand there are raw eggs in it. But weight lifters drink raw eggs all the time and they don't get sick. As long as I'm not getting sick I think I'm ok. It may not be the healthiest thing in the world but neither is breathing polluted air that we go out in everyday.

Yes mine try to and I don't like that either, I think its disgusting, but to children its sweet and yummy lolz.... My youngest son always ask me if he can have the spoon and like you, its a No.

I don't like them to if there is something made with raw eggs. It's a risk of them getting sick from it. However something like puddings, sure when I am done mixing they can have it and the bowl once I am done pouring the pudding into cups. It's all part of being a kid.

Oh my! Feelings of guilt are now popping up in my head. I used to lick the spoon and the beater after mom finished making the cake. Yes and my sons did as well, after the cake was in the oven. I guess my mother licked the spoon after her grandmother licked the cake. I guess bad habits are hard to break. Well that is way before we knew that uncooked dough is bad for you.

My mom always let us lick the spoon (or the beaters from the electric mixer) when we were kids, regardless of whether she was making cake or cookies. Everyone says that the raw eggs makes this dangerous, but I know a whole lot of people who survived with no ill effects from licking batter off of a mixing implement. I don't normally lick the spoon anymore, but I let my fiance have that treat instead. He enjoys it a lot more than I do. I would rather wait for the finished product. :)

My kids always licked the spoon then it went directly into the dishwater! It was a special treat in their eyes!
