Bring the children into the kitchen for an afternoon and start their culinary education early. Here’s a selection of recipes for your children to try baking and decorating!

Baking With Children: Tips

Children love to be fully involved in baking especially when it’s something sweet and sugary! Make sure they’re well covered if you’re going to let them ice and decorate – you can buy children’s aprons (as well as small mixing bowls, spoons and moulds) from many baking suppliers. Be very careful where melted chocolate is involved, as – because of the high sugar content – it will get extremely hot.

Fortunately, most cake recipes are so simple and quick that your children will be able to take a very active part in baking them. If you’re going to ask the children to ice the cakes, provide lots of exciting ingredients – coloured icings, hundreds and thousands, jelly beans, marshmallows, chocolate chips – and let them use their imaginations!

No-Cook Cupcakes

Use mini cupcake cases for these sweet mouthfuls – they’re quite rich, so you might want to ration them. You can choose what to put in, and children can do most of the work. The only difficult part is waiting for them to set!

Vanilla Cupcakes
