My Favorite Baking Tool

As with all arts and crafts, using great tools makes the experience of creating the end product more enjoyable and heartwarming. Over the years, I have found that I just cannot get along without some of my favorite baking tools. One of my favorite kitchen helpers is my spatula. I absolutely love the new colorful spatulas that can withstand those terrific high temps. Plus, my spatulas must have flexibility to get all of the delicious batter out of the bowl and into the pan. The spatula is a well-used baking tool in my kitchen. I couldn’t be without an entire fleet of them! In honor of this little helper, I penned  the following:

ODE TO A SPATULA

I’m just a little spatula.

I stand up straight and tall.

And though I’m not a beauty queen,

My talent is here for all.

Call me your baking helper

When you use your mixing machine.

I’ll scrape each drop of batter

To make your bowl shiny clean.

I’m made in differnt colors

To make your room so bright.

For I’m just a little spautla

On call all day or night.

Tell me about your favorite baking “helper.”

ENJOY!
