dd and I love baking together and now at school they do cake sales which she now wants to do her own on the green outside our house for neighbours/children that play here.
i feel a bit awkward with the idea of it, should I say no?

Insurance against poisoning anyone
has she got a food hygien certificate
have you got pets that go in the kitchen
can she provide allergy advice

it’s a nice idea but so many things can go wrong……

Don't be ridiculous.

God one of mine was obsessed by doing this for a while! I have let her do it a couple of times on the conditions that:

it was raising money for charity not her
she baked one simple thing, not the batshit 10-item menu she was planning.

Kept her busy for a weekend, she felt v pleased with herself, did actually raise some money.

We did similar - although I wasn’t keen, I must admit it was successful!

I agree with @ElleLeopine, sounds brilliant.

It sounds like a fantastic idea, why do you think no?
