Well, a plastic serving ladle. But you try creaming butter with that...
It bends as soon as you try to apply any force!
My wrist hurts. :-S

I've got metal dining spoons - but they're very thin and flimsy. I've
already bent one of the teaspoons trying to squash a teabag. So that
won't work. Instead, I used a plastic serving spoon - which also bent,
but at least it'll bend back again...

Hmm, this sponge is disappointingly dry. Maybe I left it to cool too long...

I am, as ever, in awe of those that can bake. Egg, sugar and flour
recipes seem to require a lightness of touch that I don't possess.
The even browning of the cake is beautiful <Bows to the master>.
Possible solution to dryness: More butter?

Nah, just mix an equal quantity of butter, sugar and flour. Add enough
egg to get approximately the right wetness. Bake.
That's really all I did. Admittedly, figuring out "the right wetness" is
tricky... But as recipes go, it's pretty simple to memorise. ;-)

Yes it's good fun isn't it, and you can put in there exactly what you like.

You should visit Japan :-) The sushi is 10x cheaper and 10x better than
anything I've bought in Europe.
