Cake Batter.

I was babysitting for a friend today.
And i told the kiddos i had a surprise for them.
They got so excited and sat right next to each other on the couch.
I pulled off the mixing tools and handed one to each of them.
They were in heaven.
My kid couldn't even smile for the camera she was so excited.
