| So how long do I have to worry about the egg in it before feeling like I'm in the clear? I really just wasn't thinking. |

| You're fine. |

| Have you ever got sick from the cake batter before? Probably not; and how many times in our lives have we licked the spoon? I am sure you will not get sick from it now; if you were to get sick however I am pretty sure you would know within 48 hours |

| I had two spoonfuls of brownie batter tonight before I thought about it... I'm 23 weeks - I think it's ok as long as it's not done with frequency. |

I thought the OP was a joke... guess not.

| It's not a joke-I'm not the op but I remember baking when I was pregnant and I'm so used to tasting the batter that I recall it being so hard not to but when I was conscious of it I didn't-I think it's a good topic to remind people! I'm sure you fine-hope the cupcakes came out yummy!!! |

| I think you better get rid of all the cupcakes too, just to be on the safe side. I can be over in 20 minutes... |

| OP here. Ok, I did feel a little ridiculous posting that. But if raw egg carries the risk of salmonella, eating batter can't be a good thing. |

| Dear OP, I posted about coming over and getting the cupcakes. That was my attempt at humor (and the cupcake talk made me hungry). Hope they turned out good. |

I know-I felt like having a cupcake too after reading!
I found out after I was pregnant that they sell something to use in batter that you can bake with but if you eat it raw it's ok-I forget what it's called-maybe in the fridge section=does that sound familiar? I wanted to make chocolate mousse and most good recipes call for eggs but you don't end up cooking it that much so they sell this for that kind of thing-now I have to figure out what it is! |

Are you talking about Meringue Powder? I use this when making royal icing for baked goods. It replaces egg whites. Here's a link to Wilton describing the product: http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?sku=pg_meringuepowder |

| Thanks PP-That works too if you are just replacing the whites--but in that link I posted it said they actually sell pausterized eggs (sorry if that is misspelled)so you can bake with them and eat the batter and no chance for salminella because the bacteria are killed without cooking eggs |

| I eat it all the time along with my daily coffee and weekly glass of wine. I am sure we will both live!! |
