Look for age-appropriate recipes. Ones with fewer steps and ingredients will work best. Plus, it's always a good idea to choose something that they'll love to eat when finished.
Mommy lets Andrew and I choose the recipe we're going to make. She gives us some to choose from, and I think she probably reads through the recipes first to make sure we have all the stuff we need to make it. Andrew usually wants to make muffins.
I like it when mom reads the recipe to us. I pretend I'm an astronaut and we're doing a cooking experiment on Mars. I think Elizabeth is trying to be a chef with all the questions she asks!
Unplug and clear all unnecessary appliances from your workspace.
Have a step or stool nearby for your child.
Have all baking tools on hand.
Consider laying out the ingredients and supplies before.
Mommy puts some safe baking things in a cupboard that we can reach – stuff like measuring cups, flour and big spoons. It's fun finding what we need as she reads the recipe to us.
Before starting, make sure you and your child wash your hands very carefully.
Let the kids help with everything that is safe, including measuring, pouring and stirring ingredients, and decorating the dessert.

When it's in the oven, we get ready to decorate what we made. That's my favourite part – especially when we can smell the food baking.
