About Baking Kids Love
Ready, set, bake! Baking is fun, a great way to connect with kids, and the results are delicious. Whether you’re slathering fluffy, white frosting over a decadent chocolate cake, or forming soft ropes of dough into creative shapes, time spent together in the kitchen creates memories that last a lifetime. Both young and old love a warm surprise when it comes out of the oven. Baking Kids Love brings the magic of baking alive through thirty delicious recipes, designed for 8 to 12-year-olds, that are totally a blast to make—and eat!
Baking instructor Cindy Mushet and her daughter Bella team up with cookware authority Sur La Table to carefully guide kids through the experience of creating awesome masterpieces in the kitchen. Step-by-step instructions for key steps (along with Bella’s personal comments about the recipes), inventive variations, and colorful photography complete the book. Popovers magically rising into puffy, golden pillows, and gooey, warm cheese melting over the sides of a crispy pizza crust—these are just a few of the surprises waiting to be enjoyed in this book. So roll up your sleeves, get a little flour on your hands, and warm your stomach with a treat while sharing a smile. Baking Kids Love is baking that both kids and adults will love.
Baking Kids Love is a great gift idea for any parent with children that want to help in the kitchen, feel “big” or just spend some time with a parent.
I received a copy of this book. The first thing I liked about it is the cover – inside the hard cover is a spiral bound book, making it easy to turn and lay flat on a kitchen counter. The text in the book is clear and in a good sized font, making everything easy to read. After all, you can’t have fun when you’re squinting, can you. In the beginning of the book there is an entire section on how do do some of the prep work required to make a recipe. This is a section that would be helpful to any baking novice, not just children. There are colorful pictures on every page. The recipes are written in easy to understand wording. Every recipe contains a detailed list of ingredients and tools required to make it. I really love the book and am looking forward to baking up some of the creations in there with my son.

I know I prefer this to the child’s play cookeries which really don’t help the parent=child bond process. Mom and/or Dad should be doing more with their kids–one at a time.
