Cake Mix Cooking for Kids

By Stephanie Ashcraft

Wannabe bakers can stir up some fun with kid-friendly recipes from the New York Times bestselling author of 101 Things to Do with a Cake Mix. 

With this book, kids can tie on an apron and whip up tasty treats for friends and family, while learning basic kitchen rules, cooking terms, and mixing, measuring, baking, and cooling tips. A cake mix is the basic ingredient for these delicious recipes, but cake isn’t the only thing kids will learn to make. Give Black Owl Cookies, Candy Cookie Pops, Bubblegum Bars, or Fruity Pizzas a try. Or, if you really want to be creative, bake some Mini Cupcake Kabobs, Delicious Cake Balls, or Tangy and Twisted Trifle. Party picks include Happy Everything Cake and Candy Cane Cupcakes, while summer favorites feature Sandy Beach Buckets and Red, White, and Blue Cake. These recipes are a fun and easy way for kids to enjoy time in the kitchen.

Getting Started

Welcome, young chefs, to the world of baking! There are a few things you need to know before you get started on your baking adventure.

General Kitchen Rules

Always get permission from an adult to use the kitchen. Plan ahead. Read and reread the recipe several times. Make sure you have all the ingredients before you start.

Wash your hands with soap and water before starting your baking adventure. Continue to wash hands after cracking eggs, handling dough, or touching the trash can.

Wear close-fitting sleeves that won’t accidentally catch fire.

Get out all of the kitchen tools needed before beginning your project: pans, cookie scoops, bowls, spatulas, oven mittens, measuring cups, and whatever else may be required.

For best results, follow the recipe exactly.

Always use oven mittens or pot holders when putting food in
