It is spill proof but not 100% leak proof, so sometimes if you shake it vigorously, a few small drops of liquid might come out.

Cooking and baking is a great way to develop an essential life skill as well as spend quality family time together. My children love baking with me especially my son as he wants to enter Bake Off Junior when he is old enough.
