Organise a Kids Cupcake Baking Party

Creating something from scratch is always so satisfying! When it comes to baking ideas for kids, a cupcake baking party is sure to be a hit. It's a great way to be creative and make something unique - choosing their own colours, flavours and sprinkles!

Depending on the age of the children, you can either prepare your cupcakes in advance and leave the decorating to them, or get them involved in the baking itself! With the fantastic range of products from FunCakes, you could choose a specific theme (their Sugar Decorations are perfect for this!) or buy a mixture and let their imaginations go wild.

You'll need a few items to get started...

Bake up picnic treats

Enjoying a spell of sunny weather? Why not spend a fun morning in the kitchen before heading to the park (or just the garden!) with the treats you've made!

And it's totally up to you what you want to make. The FunCakes range includes everything from cookie and donut mixes to cupcake and brownie mixes. They are all super quick and easy to whip up and require minimal additional ingredients.

For the perfect picnic bakes you'll need a mix of the following (and any additional ingredients required per mix!):
