The holidays inevitably lead to a plethora of cooking (and eating). Check out some of these children’s recipe books and bake up a storm this holiday season! Season’s Eatings everyone!
Now your kids can bake their cake and eat it too (with a little help from mom and dad). There are so many reasons for a kid to celebrate and this book has desserts for every milestone, from First Day of School Smart Cookies and Family Road Trip Muddy Buddies to Fall Break Snickerdoodles and the Best Birthday Cupcakes. The Ultimate Kids’ Baking Book makes it easy for your child to learn baking basics like how to use a mixer to cream butter and sugar, how to melt chocolate and make chocolate flourishes, and how to make their own buttercream frosting. Tiffany Dahle was inspired by her two growing daughters to create recipes for young bakers. Suitable for children 6 and up this book modifies recipes with a little parental involvement, like preheating or taking cakes from the oven, so that little bakers can take on more responsibility as they grow.
