[quote="krazykat_14"....but people would get
all bent out of shape if I suggested that home bakers should have special containers for their children... (ok, I was only kidding to lighten the mood- please don't hurt me!

)[/quote]
I don't have to be baking or decorating to want one of those 'kiddie containers'! After dealing with two flat tires, the kids missing school, therefor no baking time for Mommy

(until now ... just in the oven at 11:00 pm), all I can see is a giant jar with my children buzzing happily around inside, and of course a lid with air holes. I love animals, but if I had a pet come anywhere near my kitchen right now, the poor thing would look like a slipper in short order! Though I would never have served the cake, I do admire the OP's patience with her little taste tester ... at this point in my day, I'm really not sure how I would have reacted towards the dog.
I'm tired, I'm grumpy, and I'll be up into 4:00
provided all goes well ...
