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.)

5 Kid-Friendly Recipes from Sweet & Salty
Glazed Cookies-and-Cream Scones
Inspired by the classic ice cream flavor, these scones have crushed cookies in the dough (and more sprinkled on top) plus a sweet, creamy glaze.
Pink Lemonade
Cake
Lemon juice & zest in the batter and a lemon syrup soak give this cake tons of citrusy flavor. The cake is finished with a brilliant icing that’s made with fresh raspberries.
Chocolate-Covered
Cherry Cake
This show-stopping chocolate cherry cake has three layers: a tender base of chocolate cake, a layer of cherry buttercream, and chocolate ganache topping.
Cheesy Broccoli
Snacking Bread
This bread includes two kinds of cheese (cheddar and Parmesan) and is studded with broccoli, a winning combination. Cornmeal gives the loaf a nice texture.
Sunflower Bread
This pretty loaf of bread is named “sunflower bread” because it looks a lot like the flower, with twisted dough petals and a poppy seed center.
