Super Simple Baking for Kids Learn to Bake with over 55 Easy Recipes for Cookies Muffins Cupcakes and More! Charity Mathews 9781641523196 Books Reviews


  • YAY! The book finally arrived today and I am thrilled. My 11 year old son and I immediately cracked the book open and started noting which recipes we want to make first. Candy Bar Blondies, Rainbow Spinkles Whoopie Pies, and the Pull Apart Cheese Bread caught our eyes. I am also excited to see that it is written with a fun and light voice rather than a robot. Charity Matthews makes her recipes sound fun not overcomplicated or daunting. I can’t wait for this weekend to try these out!
  • My kids has so much fun making these merigues! The instructions are super easy and they are so pretty...will be making these again for Easter! And kids already requesting to make something else.
  • PERFECTTTT cook book for every age!!! All the recipes are easy and delicious. I love the prep and clean up tips wonderful time savers. Very high quality paper was used printing this lovely cook book and the pictures are amazingggg!!! I absolutely LOVE Super Simple Baking for Kids!!! XOXOXO
  • Whilst some recipe books can get away without recipe pictures, I personally believe that photos in a kid's recipe book are essential. Kids are very visual and they need to see what the end result could look like. The photos included in this book are fun and colorful, there just aren't enough of them hence one star deducted.

    The recipes are VERY easy to read and in a larger than normal font. The number of cupcakes at the top of each recipe indicate how easy or hard the recipe is
    1 Cupcake - Easy * 2 Cupcakes - Moderate * 3 Cupcakes - Hard

    Baking Basics are covered in Chapter 1 and this chapter does have several photos. We then get into the recipes which are in the following categories
    Cookies, Bars etc. * Muffins and Quick Breads * Cakes, Cupcakes and Frosting * Pies and Tarts * Savory and Salty Breads and Snacks

    Written for 6-12 years I believe that this book is suitable for that age range. Obviously the younger the child, the more help they are going to need in the kitchen. IMPORTANT TO NOTE that the recipes in this book use what some may consider unhealthy ingredients sugar, all-purpose flour etc. HOWEVER it does teach the child to cook mostly from scratch rather than using a box mixture, using a variety of skills. There are a good variety of recipes in this book albeit no main meals included.

    At the end you will find conversion tables, difficulty index and regular index. SO if you are looking to teach your child some of the basics in the kitchen this may be a good book to start with. If you prefer using healthier ingredients start with the basic recipe and show them how to substitute some of the ingredients. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher. That has not influenced my review with the thoughts and opinions above being my own. Thanks, Liz
  • My ten-year-old loves to help cook or bake in the kitchen, so I definitely want to encourage this interest. This is a fantastic resource to add to our library with clear, simple step-by-step instructions accompanied by fun and colorful pictures. Most importantly, the recipes we've tried have been delicious! It's very well written and organized with a positive, encouraging tone that inspires confidence and creativity in the kitchen. Many of the recipes are made with ingredients that we have on hand or can easily find, and are rated by level of difficulty. Great book for anyone wanting to bake with their young children or for an older child ready to try independently (recipes geared towards ages 6-12). Highly recommend!
  • Do you know a young baker or would you enjoy introducing a child to baking? If yes, this book is an excellent resource. The book begins with a helpful chapter on baking basics and then goes on to have many recipes. There are cookies, bars and bite size treats; muffins and quick breads;cakes, cupcakes and frosting; pies and tarts and savory and salty breads and snacks. A few examples that appealed to me included peaches and cream pie,apple cider-doughnut cake, pumpkins spice muffins and lemon bars.

    The directions are easy to follow. Each starts with a list of the tools and equipment that are needed. It is important to look at these because you may not have everything in your house if you are not a baker yourself. For example, a pastry blender or a sifter or parchment paper or a stand mixer. The recipe then has the steps for the recipe spelled out. There are also sections on tips and/or things to ask an adult.

    In my opinion, this book could be used successfully by older children, children with their parents or adults themselves who want to learn to bake.

    Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this sweet read. The opinions are my own.
