FYI - in case anyone was wondering the source of this "recipe" it comes from the "Feed Me I"m Yours" cookbook.

You could also borrow my three and half dd. She never does all these stuff (knock on wood and I don't want to make bad eyes) but the way she looks in the end is another story. I can barely find a clean spot on her face. She puts her little head in the bowl and licks the leftovers. And than I lick her too, well just a little... a sweet cake mix and a sweet little face:that's the best combination anyone can get. But I'm always staying away from her hands, I can only imagine the places theyre exploring!

LOL, so true...it's almost identical to what I go through. Except for the part where I get to lie down at the end. Thanks for posting and giving me such a good laugh!
