Children
Eccles Cakes
These are one of the first things I ever remember baking – they’re super easy for the kids to do and blooming lovely to eat of course too!
Simple ingredients, quickly whipped up into fabulous treats, what more could you want?
The One for the Kids to Make
Always good to have a quick rainy afternoon activity so here’s my top 3 recipes for the kids to have a crack at!
(Click on the title to take you to the recipe)
Chocolate Chip Cookies – who’d say no to one of these?
Flapjack Bars
I know I’ve done flapjack before but this one is a bit different, its a thick buttery fudgy type bar flapjack, like you might pick up when you’re out and about. Great big slabs of flapjack with a good old layer of chocolate on the top.
Giant Cupcake Cookie Dough Bowl!
Who wants to dive in head first?
You don’t just have to bake cakes in the your Giant Cupcake Tin – time to get them out from languishing in the back of the cupboard and put them to some inventive uses.
Marshmallow Sweetie Flowers
Lots of fun, bright and breezy and no complicated bits and pieces required. The only trouble is they can get eaten up faster than you can make them!
They can be done with all sorts of sweeties – I’ve used Smarties here, I ate the skittles before I had chance to use them 😉
You will need:
Marshmallows
Sticks
Sweeties
Easy peasy….
Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treats
Well once again it’s not quite baking but they are sweet treats, anyone would think my oven is broken! (Don’t worry it isn’t)
The boys love them, hey I love them too – there’s all sorts you can do with them.
Magic Microwave Meringues
Just a bit of fun with the children – these meringues will not win any prizes in the taste stakes but rate highly in amazement factor! The boys have loved doing these this holiday, they’re so quick and easy. I never knew you could do such a thing until a chance conversation with the lovely ladies at Baking Hot Celebrations (and if you’re not sure who I’m talking about head on over and have a peek).
