school holiday idea



No, it's not original, but it's fun and tasty and we only ever seem to do it in school holidays!! My cooking is purely for sustenance, because we need to eat. I don't often cook superfluous things like cakes and cookies but I need to change that, like, now!!



We used this recipe which worked a treat. We baked for 10 minutes which in our dodgy old oven was perfect.



The cookie cutters are from Ikea, so crazy cute - the girls (Siena and Lucia) had loads of fun until Siena put Lucia's cutter in the flour for her and then Lucia had a major meltdown (very common) and then refused to participate in baking or eating the cookies.



That's cool though, I was enjoying the almost "Brady Bunch" feeling of the whole experience; baking with my kids, laughing and enjoying the clean up, it had to end at some point didn't it!



YUM!

Such a simple and effective idea!! We made rainbow cake which was amazing as the kids were fascinated buy the colours and maybe because I didn't actually make it with them lol... school holidays are the best!! Woohoo!!

Cute cutters, I never saw them at Ikea. Did they taste as nice as they look?

Don't you just love the meltdowns. Lucy is the same over the most ridiculous things.

Fun! I started baking last summer and now I'm hooked. Unfortunately I mean I am actually hooked, I think I have a sugar addiction now! Looks like so much fun. I can't wait to do that kind of thing with my little one.

Great idea! I bought those cookie cutters last time I was in ikea too, they were just too cute to resist!
