Budding bakers will love these 35 recipes for making super-cute cakes!

This book will teach children how to make delicious cupcakes, cookies, cake pops and more – and transform them into fantastic creations. In Cool Cupcakes, they’ll find marvellous mini strawberry cakes and scrumptious spotty cupcakes. In the next section, Cake Pops, little ones can try their hand at all sorts of adventurous creations like sailboat pops, goldfish pops and butterfly pops. Then, they can check out the Brownies, Cookies and Gingerbread section, where they’ll find everything from brownie owls and ladybird cookies to a gingerbread family and snowy village. There are basic recipes so they can make the cakes in any flavour they want, and a techniques section that will teach them (and their supervising adult) all they need to know. All the projects are clearly graded with a difficulty level and include adorable artworks to guide children along the way. With all these recipes and so much more, your child will be a brilliant baker in no time.
