Baking can be a fun way to challenge yourself, spend time with your children, and impress everyone at the birthday party. But baking could also be an inspired way to support a worthy cause.

DD (12) and Mum’s Harry Potter inspired vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and fondant icing with a bit of edible gold spray

DD’s (10) Crunchie drip cake

And my tractor cake 😂

Vegan sponge cake made by my niece Lisa for her grandmas 80th birthday. As a non vegan it tasted excellent

Me, DH, DD and DS all baked last year. Mine was obviously the best.

DD's lovingly made lockdown 9th birthday cake. Made by her as dairy free because her best friend is intolerant.

She used Betty Crocker chocolate frosting inside and then melted as a glaze as we discovered it's dairy free.

A great find and and we now use it all the time.

Well that didn’t work - trying again! DDs dairy free Betty Crocker chocolate birthday cake

My VE celebration cake !! a Victoria sponge covered in yellow marzipan and 'tastefully' decorated.

Not a massive fan of packet mixes - but when baking with children - Betty Crocker mixes are a simple idea to make a lovely chocolate cake, however i do prefer to cream my butter and sugar, and add my eggs and flour - here's my lockdown cherry cake

I made some mini lemon meringue tarts for work, last McMillan day, and will make the same again for close family and friends (wfh for the forseeable - so no treats for work). With regards to Betty Crocker, I have a pack in the store cupboard - and some eggs, so may well get this out and 'whip up' a tasty treat for after school.

oops.....here's the cake

My sons Betty Crocker gluten free chocolate birthday cake!

Our DD loves it when her dad teaches her to bake, this is their first attempt at sausage rolls.

The child's verdict "they are the same as Greggs but a little bit better"

Chocolate cake adorned with my sister's favourite chocolates for her birthday

DD(10) made these very colourful cupcakes- they tasted good, even if some did look a slightly funny colour!!

Upload fail!

A massive 3 tier Betty crocker Devils food cake, completely slathered in chocolate fudge icing. Had to transport that in the car which luckily was only up the road but still pretty dicy!

I made cupcakes for last year's Macmillan coffee morning at our local health center

Birthday cake for my boy, he requested lemon curd cake with a sunflower and stripes so that's what he got! It was huge, so cake 3 meals a day. Completely vegan too

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake - a family favourite

Iced by my 2 year old daughter, the one with the most icing is obviously for her!

Apple and blackberry pie made by dd and I - she did most of the pastry, just needed a bit of help crimping

With attachment!

Gingerbread Jurassic Park.

Where's the photo gone???
