Make sure you always tell your child that they are doing an awesome job

Using mixes helps too, fewer steps, and usually ready before her attention wanders else where. I also sit her on a stool to watch the items baking. She loves that.

Hey,

for the icing you need about 50g of butter or margarine, 100g to 125g icing sugar (confectioner’s sugar) and a few drops of vanilla essence. Beat the butter until it’s soft, then add the sugar little by little until the icing is beginning to get stiff. Add the vanilla essence, taste and add more sugar if needed

For the top I used 150g plain chocolate, melted in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.

Hiya, my daughters birthday is on Wednesday……the big 2! This cake looks fabulous. Please could you let me have the recipe for the Vanilla icing? Also, what kind of chocolate did you use for the top, and how much?

Thanks for such a wonderful site!

Haha — so two toddlers could probably polish it off quite happily between them!

Although I was actually quite happy to eat her leftovers

Yum, it looks delicious, my daughter probably would have eaten the top and rejected the cake part!

I hardly ever have anyone else to watch her when I’m in the kitchen so I have to find ways for her to join in. We both have fun though — I’m hoping this will translate to her enjoying cooking in later life!

I’ve had similar experiences too Lissa, one time I had separated egg whites and my daughter decided to start mixing things into them, sad to say my egg whites were no longer usable for meringue! She has learnt pretty quick though.

I am so excited to see someone else who lets there toddler ‘really cook’ with them. My little one helps me almost every night Your right lasagne would be so fun to assemble.
