The story of the Three Bears

Making my Christmas cakes today, I started with the blue silicone spatula. It was great for scraping down the sides of the bowl, but somehow, it was way too bendy to do any mixing.
So I took out the bright orange plastic spoon from the drawer. It was stronger and that nifty little hook on the side meant that it didn’t fall into the mixture when I stopped stirring to add a bit more beaten egg. But it was too big and too awkward to do any serious mixing.
It was time to get out the old favourite; the wooden spoon with a long handle. It was strong enough to do the mixing, the handle didn’t fall into the bowl and it was just the right spoon for the job.
In no time at all, the cakes were in the oven, filling the kitchen with a delicious aroma of Christmas baking.
Four hours later, the three cakes were ready to take out and are now cooling. I must get them wrapped and ready for when Goldilocks comes to visit

Wrapped and ready with marzipan and icing? Will there be room for arctic bears on top? Can the Bernina be pressed into a design for all three cakes? Oh! Look out for any wolves at your front door if you think Goldilocks is going to visit.
At least each spoon is loved and used....I get quite 'attached' to mine, and they all live together in a drawer, and being differently shaped, made of different materials, and some coloured etc like yours, easy to find.
Sometimes I look in the drawer and it reminds me of the games we used to have as children at birthday parties....a tray is show with loads of items, and you are given so many minutes to write down the details. Minus points if you just invent them. Bet they don't play that one anymore.
Stasher - We play that game every day. I'm sure that the tray had my glasses, the post box key, the small nail scissors, ......
