Kelly Ripa’s emotions are a bit scrambled when it comes to her andMark Consuelos’ recentArchitectural Digesthome shoot.

The longtime loves allowed the magazineinside their New York City townhouseto show off their interior design skills, but one skill set Ripa, 54, didn’t feel was accurately portrayed was her cooking.

“They were like, ‘Kelly, we made scrambled eggs as if you had made scrambled eggs,’ ” Ripa shared on the Dec. 11 episode ofLive with Kelly and Mark. “And I looked at these scrambled eggs and was like, ‘I would never make scrambled eggs like this.’ Because I am very proud of my scrambled eggs.”

What was wrong with the stand-in eggs?

“These were dry. These didn’t look right,” the mother of three noted. “They didn’t look like any additives were in there. There was no soft cheese, there was no crème fraîche. They were nothing [like] the way I make the eggs, so I was very upset.”

“Our friend Douglas, who is the photographer, threw two eggs on the floor, and I thought Mark was going to die,” Ripa quipped. “So that’s like a real reaction. I was like, ‘Ohh.’ ”

TheRiverdalealum, 53, agreed, sharing, “Yeah, I’m very particular about the house. And he’s like, ‘So we’re going to throw a couple of eggs on the floor.’ And I said, ‘On whose floor?’ He goes, ‘Your floor, right here right now.’ I short-circuited.”

“When you see the eggs in the magazine, those are stunt eggs,” she insisted in the clip. “I did not make those eggs. My eggs are gorgeous. They really are really pretty.”

But despite that part of the shoot not going over easy, Ripa and Consuelos were pleased with how themagazine made their home look.

“Would you say it’s the most glamorous version of the house ever?” Ripa asked Consuelos of the photo shoot on their talk show.

“Yes, they made it look good,” he agreed.
