Benefits

In an attempt to keep the kids happy and quiet I’ve found we spend at least an hour a day in the kitchen. If its not baking its another form of messy play or splashing about with the sink.

At best baking with kids is a stimulating and diverting screen free activity which encourages sensory development and aids knowledge of cause and effect, increases curiosity and is an all round brilliant way to enhance cognitive skills.

At worst its a really messy way to enjoy something yummy- so its win win

Toffee Apple Cake 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏 I make a version of this cake every Autumn but it looks so much more special in a Bundt tin. Fruity cake with warming spices and a sweet sticky toffee sauce- this cake is perfect for dessert or with an afternoon cuppa. I had a rare half hour of quiet this afternoon (thank you Moana) and whilst I strongly considered doing some housework I decided to write this recipe up instead. So when you see my messy kitchen in photo 4 or 5 remember how self sacrificing I've been 🤣🤣🤣 Link in the bio as always ❤

Dinosaur Pie 🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖 Another week another #gbbotwitterbakealong And as it's vegan week we've gone for a savory vegan pie. I asked my 4 year old what she wanted on the pie and of course the answer was dinosaurs! With vegan pastry made with vitalite this dinosaur pie is perfect for herbivores! A thick layer of my home made spiced apple chutney topped with Bombay potatoes and covered in dinosaurs 🤷🏼‍♀️ Recipe coming to the Blog soon. @the_baking_nanna @rob_c_allen @gbchefs

PJ masks Cake My weeks been taken over by celebration cakes so apologies that this is another non kid bake. It was my youngest nephews birthday this week and as he fully believes he is Catboy, a PJ masks Cake was the only option. I'm no professional as always so it's far from perfect but he loved this! We are back in the kitchen today with some simple savories to make with little ones 😃 If you're tempted to take on a character cake and want any tips from a messy home baker I'm always happy to answer any questions 😉

It's my favourite teenagers birthday! I've had a lot of celebration cakes on this week and this XBox cake was definitely tricky but my goregous nephew @joshgoodwin_12 loved it! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH! ! 🎂🎂🎂🎂😃😃😃😃

M&M Brownies 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫 I spotted these new caramel M&Ms in Poundland and thought they'd be amazing in a brownie! Despite the absolute state they got my kitchen into, the girls loved making these. Crispy top and fudgey inside we made these with dark chocolate rather than our usual milk chocolate so they're extra rich. The recipe is my go to recipe "Chuck anything in Chocolate Brownies" and the link is in the bio! #bakingwithkids #mandms #chocolatebrownies

It's so important to retain control when baking with kids. Otherwise you may find your kitchen descends into messy chaos.... #goodadvice #youareincontrol #keepitclean
