Yay! Batter Finger Giveaway!!!

This is a family blog, right? So no naughty thoughts. But I admit I had several when I received this gift from Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Bakery and Cupcakery Supplies. (Full disclosure, Lynsday is an advertiser on this blog, you can see her ad to the right of the page.)



gifts!





gifts!




Huh. A Batter Finger. Oookaaay...but it turned out to be quite useful in the mixing, scraping, transferring, and eating of cupcake batter. Mmm, batter...I love mine, and now you can have one of your very own to love and cherish, as a gift from Cupcakes Take the Cake and Lyndsay of Sweet Cuppin' Cakes!

Just tell us what you would do with your Batter Finger (and keep it clean here folks!) in the comment section, and include a way to get in contact with you. Winner will be chosen at random (by Random.org's generator) on June 22, 2009 at 5 pm NYC time, and Lyndsay will ship your prize directly to you!

:)

Wow, that is totally what I need to get into my measuring cup. It can get a little difficult to get right in there and this would make my life easier. I need this Batter Finger.

I would carry it in my purse and take it everywhere I went. Then I would offer to help all my friends make cupcakes. But then I'd just let them do all the work, and use the Batter Finger to keep sneaking tastes of the batter and icing.

I would love to use this when I'm baking instead of my regular rubber scrapers!

I'll be honest. I'd probably just use it to sneak tastes of batter and icing when no one was looking. And I'd probably poke my friends with it, just to annoy them.

Truly that is the cutest spatula I've seen!!
javajunkie said…
What a clever idea. I would certainly use my to make my cupcakes.
Unknown said…
I have to admit.. I sometimes enjoy eating the cake batter more than the baked cake, so I would use it to eat the cake better=)

I would take it to the ballgame and use it as a "We're #1" finger! And then I'd come home and make victory cupcakes!
James ~n~ Amber said…
I SO love this ! My husband would think its funny to smack me on the rear with. Him and my daughter think its a funny game to do that !
SMccracken said…
I would for sure use it for the last bit of cookie dough - as a treat to me! YUM! I hope I win!

Preppy from Bay said…
I would let my two and half year old son help me make my cupcakes with his batter finger and lick the batter off afterwards. Better the batter finger then using his own finger again and again.
J said…
I would let my children use it when we bake. they would love it!

Scraping the bowl clean for tasting.

With the Batter Finger I would make licking a bowl/scraping the batter even more fun! :D
Dianna said…
This is an easy one: I'd save it for my husband who seems to always have his finger in my cookie, cake or cupcake batter!
Devonshire said…
My name is Devon and I am a batter/dough holoic. That batter finger would allow me to be discreet, but still achieve the delicious reward. What a clever idea...
Kati Angelini said…
I would scrape bowls, allow my kids to test batter and use it to get in the tiny areas that a traditional scraper couldn't! Maybe even swat a few pesky hands that shouldn't be touching batter!!

licking the batter is there any other reason to use it!

I would use it to scrap spoons.. can't wait precious batter!
Jingle said…
Oh, now that looks like the best possible way to share some yummy cupcake batter with the puppies! Not that I would do that...it just looks like a good way...yeah...that's it....
sabriena said…
Although I shouldn't, I would just use it to take big globs from the batter to eat. Mmmm I love batter!
Rose said…
This would totally make baking easier, considering I do not have a spatula at all.

Abby said…
I am sure my daughter would use it to scrape up the last of the batter and eat it yummy!

Alex said…
I would definitely use it to scrape the bowl, but it's so cute that I would probably start dipping it in before the cupcakes were even in the oven and most likely would not have much batter left to actually bake.

roryg93@aol.com
Unknown said…
oo yummy! I would use it to put the icing on the cupcakes. And then i would use it to scrape ALL the leftover icing out of the bowl to eat!! MWU HA HA HA!
Lady P said…
I would scrap off the best and happiest bits of the day, mixed them in a bowl of cupcake batter and create the most joyous morsels on the planet!

Stephanie said…
i would LOVE to use the batter finger! i'd keep it on hand in a fancy little drawstring bag, ready to use it at a moment's notice! i'd run it along the inside of my bowl to gather those last little bits of frosting that would make for a perfect cupcake bite. i would use it to get the last of the hot fudge out of my best friend's sundae bowl, but let her lick it off (no worrying about germs now)! perhaps most of all though, I would just know that i HAVE a batter finger, and be secretly delighted. ;)
Jen said…
I would wag my "finger" at my boyfriend while he's trying to steal my batter! It's always an issue!

I really love this kitchen tool! So cute, unique and hilarious!

i would taste the batter :)
Oh I love Fred products they are so ..... silly. I have a lil rubber girl who holds your chopsticks (the chopsticks are her legs) and the boy always thinks dirty things about it. >_<

I would love to have this in my kitchen because I always waste so much batter because I can't get it out of the bowl. ^_^

I would use it to scrape out jars and cans of soup.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I think that it would be perfect to scrape out the bottom of the peanut butter jar.
I would totally take it to the ball game and use it instead of my big foam finger. It would fit into my purse much better. :)

I would fill my cake pan, leaving a little too much batter behind in the bowl and use my batter finger to scrape out every last drop so that I could eat it!!!!!!
Kate said…
Oh how fun! What a cute little gadget.

I'm not going to be shy about this one- I'd stick that finger in the batter and then lick it off. Then I'd have 11 licks instead of just 10!
yukonmusher said…
I am planning to spend my summer making cakes for everyones birthday, this is so I can practice making and icing cakes for my wedding. (we have no cake makers in this part of the north
:( ). So I hope to practise, and do well, although it may end up affecing my dress size, lol.
This is so cute, it would make a great addition to my new set of cake making equipment.
p.s. I make my first one in a week, for my brother inlaws Bday!

Oooh this would be much cuter to ice cupcakes with versus a butter knife :)

Hee! That's cute. As my 2 year old daughter would say: "That's Charlotte sized stirrer! I help Daddy make cupcakes! I help with mixer!"

Yeah, that's totally a kid sized scraper. 2 years old is not too young to learn to cook! (She's very into cracking eggs and making scrambled already.)
Megan said…
I would make a spooky Halloween cupcake out of it. Take one of those dirt & worm Oreo cupcakes, have the arm coming out of the "ground" and a mini candy tombstone next to it.
Liz said…
OK, I HAVE to have one of these! So funny! And perfect for sampling (OK eating) cupcake batter and chocolate chip cookie dough.

My mother is 82 and lives with me. She can't seem to keep her finger from going in my mixing bowl regardless of what I am making. This would be a perfect way to keep HER finger out of my batter or icing!
Vanessa said…
Exactly what its made for- I'd be licking that finger clean of batter whenever I bake. :)

How cute! That could reach perfectly to the bottom of the marshmallow fluff can for when I make s'mores cupcakes!

Jennifer said…
One of my favorite things to do while baking is to bring my husband the batter bowl when I am finished, and this spatula is perfect!
My 3 year old would be able to put the entire thing in his mouth, thus making chocolate batter a lot less on his clothes! Oh I can see it now, dear finger I do need you!

i would use it to stir my iced tea ... i usually just use a butter knife or long spoon to get to the bottom of the glass, but this would be much more fun!

First, I'd use it to scratch my head as I decice which kind of cupcake to bake next...and then once it helped me stumble upon a Eureka moment, I'd use that Batter Finger to treat my boyfriend to a delicious cupcake dessert and then in turn, ask him to scratch my back with it, haha!
I would use it to get every last bit of frosting out of the bowl/can and then save some for licking. Thanks for a chance to win.
Lydia said…
I would never get the cupcakes in the oven! I would finger them into my mouth all goopy, battery, and sweet :)

Not only would it be great to use to frost a cake but I would also use it to scrap the last bits of peanut butter, jelly, mayo, etc. out of jars.

I'd use it to show it to my friends, who will all then go 'OOoohhh, thats soo cute. Where did you get them from?', and I'd just smile :)
cstironkat said…
I would use it in my old cast iron corn bread molds. These are small and the batter finger would make this task easy.

Why on earth would anyone think I'd use the Batter Finger to sneak tastes of batter or frosting?!? What? No one accused me of thinking of such a thing? Oh. Sorry. Now where's the batter? asthenight at gmail dot com
Miri said…
Use it to get even the last scrape of cookie dough out of the bowl, would be such a waist to just wash it away, so I now get my fingers dirty trying to get it all out... Somehow I always end up eating most of the dough instead of really baking cookies ;)

i would use it to scrape off the lastttttt bit of white cake batter and slather it all over my fiances nose. :p
that is cute! I would use it for icing and show it off mrs.mommyyatgmaildotcom
It would be a perfect for cupcake pictures...and to pose with, like a magic wand, a magic cupcake wand!
Oops, that cupcake wand comment, contact me at shonameyer.blogspot.com!
cleung341 said…
I can't think of anything creative, but I would for sure use this as a scraper. I unfortunately live with the bf who has no baking supplies. I do have to say though that when I saw the picture I laughed out loud.

Although I would probably use it to swipe some delicious cupcake batter, it might be tempting to scratch my back with it as long as it was clean c:

Kelley said…
Oh that is so cute! The slender design would be awesome for scraping my kitchenaid bowl, underneath the paddle/whisk, without having to take the whole thing apart lol.

Omg it would be so much fun, too, to use it to point at people (and my cat). XD

And when my sister is helping em bake, I would make her use it if she wants to taste any of the batter/dough. Haha!!!
I think it's ingenious! I bought one for my sister months ago + she though it was the best since sliced bread!

Jess said…
I can think of many uses for the Batter Finger, besides the obvious. I would attach it to my melt on one of those retractable leash things (like for ID badges). Then I could use it to point at people or when I am thinking I could put it up to my face or maybe use it for poking people....endless possibilities for an extra finger!
Marie said…
I'd used it to stir iced tea in a pitcher. It's just so narrow and my spoon's so damn short. I'd use it with cupcake making after I buy an oven :p
Ambika Kumar said…
while this would be very helpful to scrap the bowl clean for filling the cake tins and ourselves :)...

...they could also be placed near the finished cakes while presenting them to the guests - with a board which says "No. 1 in taste" :)
would surely bring smiles all around :)

A better batter sneaking device? What could be better? Of course, I would claim to use it for more effective scraping, but really its all about sneaking a "taste-test". all this talk of batter has made me hungry, off to bake!

You know how you're not ACTUALLY supposed to lick the plate/bowl clean at a restaurant or a friend's dinner party when something is just THAT good? Now you have this trusty utensil that allows you to scrape off that last little bit of deliciousness without garnering odd looks!

OH how very fun!!! We are new to this cupcake world but my little gir

We absolutely love your blog!!! I can't believe what a source of knowledge you are!! We spent almost 4 hours baking last night and forgot to eat dinner!!!
I can be reached via my blog:

I can make cupcake cards but not cupcakes! My little girl is the student!!
Snowmanlover said…
p.s.- to my last post, we would keep it away from her brother who is a year older!!!

That's awesome!! I'd let that be my daughter's! She is always trying to stick her finger in the batter. That's so cool!

I totally would use it as a pointer on a chalk board to teach people how to make cupcakes. Then, I would use it to scrape out all the batter into my mouth.....or into the baking pan.
rissykay99 said…
That would be fantastic to clean the bowl with so that nothing goes to waste. Of course, it would probably aid my husband in sneaking a few test tastes along the way.

This would be perfect for my little girl. She is 5. She is always sitting on the counter watching me make cupcakes. She is always wanting to put her finger in the frosting and cake batter. It is very hard for her to control her self when there is so much sweet around. I would let her use that for a taste of what we were making that day. She would love it.
Thank You!
