Kids baking

Young Bakers, Start Here!

Baker kids are happy kids. They have a creative outlet that uses all of their senses, and one that, at the end of the day, results in treats. (Let’s see a video game do that!)

The best part about baking? You’re never too young to start. Toddlers can help their parents measure flour, and maybe take a turn kneading dough. And when they get a little older, some real baking can begin. Our new book, Sweet & Salty, has everything a young baker needs to get started:

  • Fun, easy recipes for sweets like cupcakes, puddings, and a giant chocolate chip cookie
  • Savory recipes for cheesy crackers, squishy dinner rolls, and swirled pizza buns
  • Lessons on baking basics such as folding, creaming, and how to keep eggshells out of your batter
  • Tons of education and tips sprinkled throughout

The book also includes a few project bakes, like an impressive layer cake perfect for any party, which young bakers can tackle once they become better, more confident bakers. (Which, with this book in hand, will happen pretty quickly.)
