Baking subscriptions?

[Lovemusic33]

Other than bakedin?

Looking for something for DD who is 13 and has ASD, I’m fed up of buying her things that end up broken, she enjoys cooking but doesn’t like me helping so was thinking a baking subscription where she gets a recipe and ingredients each month to make something, ideally something sweet.

Have only looked at bakedin, are there any others?

Ooh this sounds right up DD1s street! I will have a look at Bakedin and see if anyone suggests anything else!

No suggestions unfortunately, but have had a look at the baked in one and it looks good! Think my eldest will love it

I've had the BakedIn one. It's very good - comes through the letterbox, ingredients are weighed out, recipes are clear and reusable.

But they're pricey for what you get. You still need to buy eggs, butter, carrots, cherries, and any other ingredient that isn't dried.

A lovely luxury, and I know my DD would love a subscription for a year.

DD(12) is 5 or 6 months into a 1 year BakedIn subscription and so far it's been great. Even the recipes that she's not liked the end result she's enjoyed making and they generally involve something slightly more interesting than mixing the ingredients together and shoving in the oven. Whilst they expect you to have tins/trays, etc they come with things like baking paper sheets, icing bags, wooden skewers. I'm already thinking we will need to renew when the year is up.

Do you think it's suitable for an 8 year old? DD1 is 8.5 and loves baking but obviously still needs a fair bit of supervision. They do a mug baking subscription which they just put in the microwave so I assume the recipes are more straight forward but I don't know if that would be a bit boring for her? Is the normal subscription full of complicated recipes?

Shire bakery do a sprinkle subscription. It's every other month and you can customise it. It's normally themed by time of year. My DDs love ours.

Might give you a bit more flexibility in terms of what you make.

Iced Jems do a cake club subscription. I'm not sure how good it is but everything I've had from the website has been very good.
