AIBU to be scared that DH and DS (2) are baking?

[NomDeClavier]

I suggested that DH and DS did something while I finished the pile of ironing. DH (the fool) asked DS what he wanted to do. DS wants to bake.

So far...

DH has come to ask me how to make a cake so I have him a basic recipe
He wanted to know if you have to melt the butter
He wanted to know what attachment for the magimix you use to make cakes (I have a handheld beater thing that DS loves which is why he wants to bake)

I accidentally wandered into the kitchen to get some water to fill the jug for the iron...

DH has mixed the flour and sugar first. He has also given DS a wooden spoon to occupy him. DS is 'mixing'.

Do I need to redecorate or will we all be dead before then anyway?

Hopefully DS will teach DH how to bake :o

An important part of cooking or baking with children is teaching them that when you cook/bake, you have to clean up the horrendous any mess you've made. Make sure DH doesn't forget that bit On the other hand, aw, that's really lovely! My DH would never do that!

Remember you need to eat the results with a smile

Ha! There's no way of getting out of the cleaning up.

He wants to know if we have cake tins. And what kind he should use.

Did your DH not start with a recipe?

The answer to this is: the internet. It's how I learnt to cook/bake new recipes.

Hope it doesn't taste too bad!!

Just think of it as a lovely father/ son spending time together

Whenever MIL bakes with DS the outcome makes dwarf bread feel like a Genoese sponge. I have no idea how she manages it.

Well just to update I rescued the cake from the oven after a couple of hours. They 'got bored, wandered off and forgot'. I do have a very clean kitchen though!

oh dear. is it the sort of cake that will sink ducks?

Awww.

Make sure you get one of those packet mix thingies in for the next time they get such an urge!
