I have always been a cake/brownie batter eater. It's friggin delicious so I never thought twice about it. It was a big deal to lick the spoon when my mom made something when we were growing up!!
While I was pregnant, I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't eat it because it has raw eggs in it. I had never thought about it like that before. So now I'm curious, do you eat raw cookie dough, cake/brownie batter, etc? Do you think it's gross because it has raw eggs in it?
Re: Do you eat cake batter?
Yep, I eat it all. I'm aware of the potential dangers of the raw egg, but I do it anyway.
)
P.S. there are egg-free recipes for cookie dough around that are actually intended to be eaten raw.
I eat it, not alot, gets to sweet for me after awhile, but I don't think about it having raw eggs. Though I didn't during both pregnancies. DD loves the batter now when we bake, she can't wait for it!
I posted last month about a store in the Chicago suburbs that I went to that you can eat the dough because it doesn't have egg in it. I bought a cookie dough sandwich which was 2 cookies w/cookie dough in the middle. Delicious, but sweet. I brought one back for Ritzy who I think ate in 2 bites! They do ship, so those who are pregnant can eat it: Cookie Dough Creations in Naperville, IL

Yup - eating the batter is the best part about baking, well that and cookies hot from the oven.
And being pregnant hasn't stopped me from indulging in a few licks of the bowl - I live on the edge lol.
lol - I like this. And btw, how are you feeling?!?! You're so close!
Yes, I am a huge batter-eater (That sounds strange), except not now b/c of being pregnant. But anyways, I love brownie mix and chocolate chip cookie dough the most! I don't think I've ever ate cake batter though? Guess I'll have to try it sometime
This! I love to lick the spoon or the beaters
I didn't hear about the pregnancy rule until late in the pregnancy, so by that time I had already done it plus inhaled a bunch of homemade ice cream, made with raw eggs.
Hahaha.. exactly!!
Same here though. Normally I would have no problems with it as long as I knew the eggs I was using were fresh. Now that I'm pregnant though, I avoid it.
LoL.. that thing was flippin' delicious. I guarantee you at least a pound of my pregnancy weight gain came from that thing, and yet I'd eat ten more if I could!
