Tips and recipes for baking with kids

[Angelicabean]

My school is hosting a coffee morning for McMillan this month and I foolishly agreed to bake something with my key stage 1 class. I'm rubbish at baking so I need some ideas for nice but very easy cakes or biscuits for five year olds to make. I was thinking of making them a couple of days before as I have some lovely parent volunteers that day. Would that work? Any tips/ ideas appreciated!

Look up the MN perfect scone recipe - I am making these all the time at the moment, using a very little cutter. I also have been adding a little mild mustard and various herbs (chives, rosemary, parsley, watercress, chopped up very fine). They are yum and easy if you follow what MN says - more a set of instructions than a recipe.

Look at mydaddycooks.com.
Lots of easy recipes.

DD made these at school and loved them which is amazing since she hates most veg

The easiest thing I think is some form of fridge cake? fun because then can bash up biscuits, and you can put lots of different textures in - glade cherries, mini marshmallows. And they could learn about heat melting chocolate?

They would deco keep a couple of days too.

Sorry for typos, blimmin autocorrect!

Watch a few episodes if I Can Cook on cbeebies, easy recipes and also shows you how she's doing the recipes with the children.
