A baking theme that’s been popular for quite some time – unicorns! It’s safe to say that unicorn cupcakes never go out of style, and you’re never too old for them. I originally planned to make them for Children’s Day, but didn’t manage in time – so I made them later…
Simple Christmas chocolate cookies made without cutters and from basic ingredients you’ll find in any kitchen (you don’t even need eggs!). Perfect for baking with children – let them make a bit of a mess and finally use up those sprinkles left over from Easter ;).
This time, I wasn’t the one baking. Whenever my older daughter has a friend over, they often disappear into the kitchen and… bake. First, they choose a recipe from one of the cookbooks, then gather all the ingredients and equipment they need. These are their first steps in the kitchen
Another take on a flavour combination that’s already a favourite on the blog – alongside the Rocher meringue torte and Rocher cake, these irresistible chocolate hazelnut cupcakes simply had to happen. I made them for Children’s Day… don’t ask who ate the most ;).
