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

🦖🦕Dinosaur biscuits🦕🦖 I was searching through my old phone photos earlier and even though I have about 72 thousand pictures of the kids baking there was one (currently in my stories) that I really love. Basically the kids had rubbed biscuit dough into the entire kitchen after making these dinos, and everything was a sticky mess. I think I love it so much because it sums up my parenting style so aptly 😂 yes there is a huge mess and yes I'll be cleaning this up for days but so what? The time spent cleaning up is worth the experience of making something together...and theres a sweet treat to take the edge off the scrubbing 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 The recipe is the basic biscuits from the blog, topped with ready to roll icing, just use the same cutters for the icing and attach with a bit of icing sugar and water ❤

Old fashioned Apple and Almond cake 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏 If like us, you've been lucky enough to have a glut of apples on your hands, why not destroy any chance of them being a healthy snack by baking them in this cake? It's also has nuts in, just to increase the fat content a bit 😉 Seriously though this delicious, soft crumb cake is a surprisingly easy one to tackle with kids- mine love making it we've all loved eating it! Recipe and method in my stories (will also add to highlights) 🤗

Cake 🧁 or Cookie 🍪? Why not both? We slipped a few cookie cupcakes into the batch of 48 we made for my aunties birthday recently. I could demolish one of these right now! We used the marble cake recipe from the blog (link in bio) and topped with a big swirl of buttercream and a quarter of a chunky chocolate cookie (recipe again on the blog 😃) Lots of work for little hands and a massive treat to get you though the 4th week of the summer break 🤣

Windfall Fudge Cake 🍫🎂🍫🎂🍫🎂 Remember summer? 🌧⛈⚡ if, like us you have a fruit tree then you may too have been battered by stray falling fruit in this crazy hurricane-esque climate? If not then this recipe is still 100% worth using up some apples! It's not often that we bake and post a recipe other than our own but when I saw this on @nancy.birtwhistle feed I couldn't wait to try it! Super fudgey chocolate cake, which gets its dense gooey texture from windfall fruit! We stuck pretty close to Nancy's recipe but used pears rather than apples (as we have plenty of stray pears from our tree) and used 75ml honey rather than the sugar to keep the cake free from refined sugar (for a very rare change 🤣) Perfect warming comfort food for a gloomy August weekend!

Carrot Cake Cupcakes 🥕🥕🥕🥕 It's a bit of a running joke how much I love carrots. I eat at least 3 raw carrots a day and find a a way to get them into 80% of the family meals...carrot in bolognese ✔ carrot pasta✔ carrot curry 🤔 eh why not ✔✔✔ So when my mum asked me to make 48 cupcakes for my aunties 60th birthday party you can bet a dozen were carrot cake! We used our coffee shop carrot cake from the blog and divided into 12 muffin cases in a 12 hole muffin tin. Reduce the baking time to 15 minutes and your all set😃 Easy and delicious carrot cake 🥕😃🥕😃
