#15 Frosting the batter

The attempt to save time by completing steps in a linear process out of order.

The kindergartner scooped up a hunk of chocolate butter cream frosting with her hand and began layering it onto the cake batter. Just as she was about to pop it in the Easy Bake Oven, the teacher intercepted the prematurely frosted cake and said, "Honey, you can't save time by frosting the batter."

  1. My batter frosting days peaked in the mid-2000's whilst my wife and I were setting up house in anticipation of having children. We were purchasing lots of assembly-required furniture back then, and I was always confident that I could successfully frost the batter by skipping the directions and following my innate male intuition for such things. Due to my stubbornness it took a few years to accept that, indeed, I have no such innate knowledge.
