Delicious Desserts Follow Up
Six of my granddaughters have gotten very interested in baking with their mother and with me. This cookbook is a great starter book with easy to follow directions and delicious desserts. They have their own aprons, baking supplies and a baker’s hat. They are developing a lot of fond memories in the kitchen. Their brothers and sisters are eating everything before it all comes out of the oven. The only issue is that it is difficult to keep the cookbook open. It keeps closing. Follow Up: One day of the week is designated as ‘Baking Day’. We form teams and rate the recipes chosen by the other team. This is a great way to spend summer days. Sticky notes are used to mark the recipes and are color-coded to indicate the food category usage. For example, there are different colors for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack and dessert. They also indicate how hard it is to use the recipe with a scale of 1 - 3 with one being the easiest. We do not use many numbers to rate each recipe. Also, we use large, metal binder clips to keep the book open.
Great book!
My daughter got this baking cookbook for her birthday, a week ago, and has already made 4 different cookie recipes. They have all been wonderful! She loves this book and has plans to make more things soon.
7 year old loves it!
My 7 year old daughter loves American girl and recently has gotten into baking so I thought this cookbook would be a good fit. She is beyond happy with this cookbook and so am I! She wanted real recipes, from scratch, and that's exactly what this book is. No use of mixes or decorating store bought treats. These are great, real recipes. So far We've made the raspberry chocolate tartlets and the strawberry cheesecake cupcakes and both have turned out excellent.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent !
So happy I purchased this. My 12 year old niece loves it. It's well written easy to follow recipes along with excellent pictures of what your result should look like allows her to improve and expand her baking skills. The recipes are also things kids in her age group find interesting and when they are able to create what they see in the picture it builds confidence to explore the world of baking further. The educational value of this book along with the fun factor make this a great purchase.
Perfect for my 10 year old baker
We have loved every recipe we have tried so far. Fun and easy. -a lot of the same ingrediants are used throughout the book so if you buy the staples you're set!
Very nice cookbook. Really for a more serious baker as ...
Very nice cookbook. Really for a more serious baker as the recipes do call on having a variety of ingredients on hand, more than just embellishment of your standard boxed desserts. This is great for any kid that is looking to get into more detailed, "grown-up" baking. Just be ready to have all ingredients on hand.
Beautiful gift worthy book
My daughter age 11 received this book last Christmas and 1 year later she still references it first over the internet and other go-to bake guides. The lush paper and beautiful photography make it a treat to use/interact with - much more intimate than a screen. Great book!
Great Recipes
My teen daughter wanted a “starter” baking book. I was worried she would be turned off by the American Girl branding as she has long outgrown dolls, but the reviews convinced me. She has now made 4 of the recipes very successfully and loves the book. It was a super cute gift (along with measuring cups/spoons/spatula/whisk/madeleines pan/etc.
Highly rated
For a young cook, ready to take on more independence from Grandma --- a highly rated dessert cookbook for young cooks. I hope the desserts are fun, tasty, and just as good.
Great for Kids
My daughter loves to cook and American Girl. She is 11 and loved this book.
