I really liked this cookbook. The recipes are all kid friends and fairly easy. I especially found the definitions of techniques at the beginning of every chapter to be a great source for first time bakers. I would definitely get this for my girls.

Great baking cookbook for kids! It is very kid friendly. We have tried the chocolate granola bars, three different types of cookies, and muffins. There are quite a few more on my 5 year old's "let's make this too" list!

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.

Got an aspiring baker in the house? Want to teach your kids some kitchen basics with fun on the side but not sure where to start? Grab a copy of Super Simple Baking for Kids by Charity Matthews. She starts at the beginning -- with tips, tools, and tricks, helping kids learn the basics and expand their baking repertoire from there. Matthews also includes a variety of recipes, and many are guaranteed to become family favorites and family traditions. So be careful what you bake as you and your kids work side by side in the kitchen, baking memories together. It just might become a part of your family history!

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this children’s cookbook, but my son who is 11, has been really interested in baking lately so I hoped this might be a good fit for us!
Wow! This cookbook has way exceeded my expectations! Not only is it very kid friendly, but it has creative recipes that look super appealing for kids! Here are some of the recipes that my son was interested in...
baked tortilla chips
Blackberry pie poppers
Fruity cereal cupcakes
Strawberry muffins
Cinnamon apple oat bread
These are just a few of them. For a children’s cookbook there are way more recipes than I expected! I can’t wait to do some baking with my son!
Thank you to Callisto Media and NetGalley for the chance to review this children’s cookbook.

Such a fun, well thought out cookbook for kids! I especially loved the Baking Basics chapter that goes over general cooking skills and rules for success when you're cooking like how to separate an egg, how to measure flour and reminders to be patient and not to apologize for the food not coming out the way you'd hoped. Each recipe has simple step by step instructions and a list of tools/equipment that you'll need and tips about ways to adjust the recipe or how to store the finished product. My only "complaint" (if you can even call it that) is that I would have loved to see some more savory baked goods.

This might be the perfect book to help kids learn to bake! (This could also be a great book if you are a total novice baker and looking to learn.) Written in a way that older kids can read for themselves or adults can read to understand how to work with kids, it has a ton of background info on ingredients, tools, and techniques, including some photos. The book says the recipes are written for kids between 6 and 12, and each recipe has a difficulty level of easy, moderate, or hard. The beginnings of chapters include tips and techniques specific to that kind of item, i.e. what to look for to make sure something is done baking. Each recipe starts out with a list of the tools and pans needed, in addition to ingredients, and when needed the recipes have an "ask an adult" section for help on more difficult steps. The recipes all sound good, they are for things kids would want to eat, and the colorful pictures make them look very enticing. I have a four year old, and I am looking forward to us baking together using this book.
