This book is a keeper! I actually baked some stuff from this book with a 5yr old, an 8yr old and a 10yr old boys. (Yes, I do have the patience of a saint. 🤣)
So I can tell you these recipes are easy and kid approved!

I loved this great baking cookbook for kids 8 – 12 years old. I think a lot of adults, like me, will love this book for themselves as well.
With super easy to follow instructions, BAKING CLASS is the perfect book to help children learn more about baking, and the abilities they have inside them to make fun, and delicious treats of all levels of complexity.
The pages are colorful, with wonderful photos of the equipment kids will be using, children busily creating, the finished food product, and so much more.
BAKING CLASS has 50 easy recipes for yummies among which are, Carrot Applesauce Bites, Fancy French Breakfast Treats, Crunchy Tortilla Chips & Nachos, Corny Corn Bread, Mix & Match Bread Art, Coconut Macaroons, Farmer’s Market Tarts, One-Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes, and so much more, children and adults alike will want to spend more time in the kitchen making amazing food, and happy memories.

Some of my best memories of raising my daughter was cooking with her. I bought a number of cookbooks aimed at kids, and the Klutz series was the best. To this day, at 22, she still bakes the brownie recipe in it. Some of the pages are glued together, and it is a bit worse for ware.
I bring this up, because Baking Class would probably be my choice if I had a little one to teach cooking to, today. The directions are bright, and colorful, and everything is explained, with pictures for each major and some minor steps. There are some great recipes in here, that I think kids will love to make again and again, from Zombie Zucini bread to Dig in the Dirt Pie.
And really, there is no gift you can give your kids than to do things with them, give them good memories, and give them a skill that will do them well when they start off on their own.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Last year around this time I was lucky enough to review a new book called “Cooking Class: 57 Fun Recipes Kids Will Love to Make (and Eat!)” by Deanna F. Cook.
This year I am thrilled to announce a new book from the same author. This one is “Baking Class: 50 Fun Recipes Kids Will Love To Bake!“.
This new book is designed to teach kids how to turn your kitchen into an at-home bakery making muffins, cookies, pies, cakes, and more. Chapter 1 “Welcome To Baking Class” is an introduction to baking for kids. It starts with information about ratings for each of the recipes, so you can judge the skill level required. You get tips for baking like a pro, from washing your hands down to cleaning up after yourself. No training book worth its salt be without an explanation of all of the proper tools and basic pantry requirements, therefore this book includes all of these.
I was particularly impressed with the baking vocabulary lesson which not only gives you the explanation of what each term means (sift, grate, crimp, etc.) but also gives you pictures showing what it looks like to do each of them. Throughout all of the lessons, the full-color pictures are extremely useful for describing and illustrating every step. Kitchen safety and presentation are covered too, as well as even how to host a Bakesale.
With Chapter 2 “Good Morning Treats” you get your breakfast goodies recipes. What I found was innovative is that some of the options don’t even come with a recipe. For instance, there is a full page of spreads showing how to create seven different flavored butter or cream cheese spreads, all done almost entirely with photographs. Where there is a more traditional recipe, you will see very clear instructions each with pictures for each step.
“Crackers And Quick Breads” are covered in Chapter 3. This gives you recipes for things like tortilla chips, croutons, popovers and more. Throughout the book are little sections called “Mix-And-Match”. These offer quick creations where you are given just the ingredients and a picture of what it could look like, then you create from there. These are excellent little fun projects your kids can use to express their own creativity. The Breakfast Chapter, for instance, has a multitude of options for creating fun toast. The Crackers Chapter includes a fun project creating an underwater sea world entirely made of crackers. A very fun idea.
Chapter 4 is about “The Bread Bakery” and how to make your bread from scratch. It comes with recipes for garlic strips and many more bread recipes even down to the awesome party pizza dough.
Cookies, Cakes, And Pies, Oh My!
“The Cookie Jar ” is Chapter 5. This is where you get to learn how to make cookies from scratch. Each of the step-by-step instructions again comes with full-color pictures illustrating each step. There are lots of “Mix-And-Match” cookie suggestions showing options for creating a very cool set of cookies.
According to Chapter 6, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and roll out the dough, it’s time to make a pie. This “Save Room For Pie” Chapter is exactly that, pie time. But it’s not just pies. You also get a fruit tart recipe and variations on pies. The “Mix-And-Match” section shows fun pie crust ideas. The “Teeny Tiny Apple Pies” recipe makes awesome tiny little tart size pies. There is even a Peach Crumble which is surely to become a favorite. A luscious looking “Banana Cream Pie” finishes the chapter.
Everybody loves cake so they are all gonna love Chapter 7 “Cake And Cupcake Factory”. There’s a little bit of something for everyone in this. It shows your kids how to make everything, the cake, the frosting, cake decorating tips, it’s all right in one spot. The “Mix-And-Match” page is about a cupcake decorating party which I think would be very fun. Traditional cakes aren’t the only thing included, you get a cheesecake recipe, and shortcakes too.
As with her last book, Cooking Class, Deanna F. Cook has done herself proud and created an easy-to-follow, fun book to help children learn to bake.
Coconut macaroons are one of my favorite all-time snacks. Enjoy the recipe with the original review at RecipesNow! The Reviews and Recipes Magazine.
This review is in response to a complimentary copy of the book sent to me by the publishers in return for an honest review.

At a certain point young bakers want to try something on their own. (Supervision is still needed) , but they want to see if they can do it on their own. The Baking Class is a great cookbook for them to use. There are step by step instructions with photos to guide the young baker from start to finish.

This recipe book is lively and colourful with lots of great pictures. It is easy to read with lots of hints and tips to make baking as easy as possible. The photographs of the equipment and methods makes it easy to show children what is what and could be a fun game in the supermarket hunting the ingredients down. The book has a lovely introduction via the dedication at the beginning. One thing which stood out to me is the rating level of difficulty using cute rolling pins! This is useful when cooking with little ones- and I particularly love the no-bake recipes! Each recipe is colourfully laid out with an easy to follow method along with photographs. A great one to have at home in the kitchen as well as in the classroom for food technology!

Baking Class is just that - a baking class for kids in book form! The recipes are kid-worthy, the instructions easy to understand, and the illustrations engaging. This is a book I will buy for my young granddaughters!
I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley.

Great title! I've been doing some small baking lessons with our three year old, and he seems to love it. This book would be a great addition to our afternoon sessions. I appreciate that the recipes are rated by difficulty/tools needed. I'm excited to try a few of these recipes, and I can promise he's going to want to make cookies first.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
What a fun book this was! I just adore cooking books, especially ones that aren’t just text upon text. This one has lots of fun tips, tricks, lovely photographs, and much more!
I love how visual this one was. Of course there is text, small explanations under the photographs, or an introduction to the recipe, the ingredients list, but most rely on photographs, and I loved that. I think that kids who can’t read that well yet, will be delighted with this cooking book. They can still participate as the photographs depict what you should do at each step.
There are various levels for recipes, from the easy, you can just do this without an oven, to the hard, you need to prepare a lot + you need an oven or the use of sharp knives. That way kids can pick out a recipe that matches them the best, or even challenge themselves to do something that is a bit harder.
The book is separated in various recipes. From cookies to bread. Some of the recipes are stuff found in almost every cooking book (like the braided bread for instance). Some are new to me. It was also great fun that the author listed some alternatives to recipes. Sometimes with a whole 2-page spread, at other times just a small mention in the sidebar.
A lot of the technical stuff (like decorating, or how to mix stuff) is explained in great, but easy to read, detail. Kids can always flip back to the beginning, or to a certain page (as soon as those handy page numbers are added) to check what to do.
There was just one thing I didn’t entirely like, the book was still a bit unfinished. There were no page numbers. They would mention that for x recipe you would need to go to TK page… I was quite curious about some of the recipes but if I don’t know the page number… eh.
Also some of the images still had a black border around them, or weird shadows. Like they were taped on.
Then some of the pictures didn’t have all the ingredients listed (like the kitty bagel one, it clearly has peanut butter as spread, but it isn’t listed).
Highly recommended, and I will be buying a copy for myself when it comes out.

Baking Class / B06XPQX1ZC
This is an extremely cute little book which I think would be great for small children wanting to get into baking--especially if they've been watching cooking shows for years (like my nephew) and wanting to dip their toes in the water. The graphics are colorful and helpful, and the steps are easy to follow. I love how all the helpers in the book are kids (with a good variety in racial representation!) because it really emphasizes that yes, kids CAN do these recipes and so can the kids reading along at home.
The selection of recipes here is not the widest or most diverse. The bread section is loaf bread, banana bread, cinnamon rolls, pizza dough, etc; the cookie section is chocolate chip, oatmeal, sugar cut-out, snickerdoodles, etc. I do feel like a follow-up book could branch out just a wee bit into some more multi-cultural directions than just what would've been incredibly safe and familiar to me as a white American kid. I don't think this is a point of criticism for the book, just something I wanted to note for potential buyers.
This is definitely a book for KIDS, though. Some baking 101 books are accessible for adults, but this one is geared strongly for the under-12 age crowd. As a birthday or holiday present for a kid wanting to get into baking, though, I think this would hit the spot. Helpful, colorful, cheerful, and creative within the confines of the "safe" recipes served up on the page.

Baking Class by Deanna F. Cook As a seasoned veteran in the kitchen Some of this book was a bit below me so to speak. It is written more on the kid level. BUT I did find some amazing recipes and even learned a thing or to. No matter how much you think you know about something there is always room for improvement and sometimes we just need to go back to the basics if for nothing else then refresher course. If you are a beginner this book is great. It teaches tips and tricks as well as a whole bunch of wonderful recipes.. I lie how the recipes were broken down into categories. There are some no bake recipes included as well. This book is a great addition to any kitchen. I truly believe in letting kids help in the kitchen, I even let my 2 year old help me. How else are they going to learn to feed themselves if we do not take the time to show them how to do it? This book like I said is geared more towards kids and beginners. Honestly it will help take some of the stress off of you as a parent/teacher to start with books like this because it will let you remember the whole time you are dealing with children and beginners.
I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

This is such a fun book, and I have to admit, I was reading it for myself (not for my 5-year-old niece as I originally intended!).
From its colorful layout, simple illustrations, and great safety tips (rating from one rolling pin to three for difficulty), it made me appreciate baking -- it’s something I generally dread. However, if kids can do it, so I can (at least that’s what I tell myself).
Rather than have lists of necessary items, I think it’s great that the “list” is a photo of ingredients/tools – something that children can easily identify. There are ideas of how to package baked good as presents, and how to decorate – a heart on toast – how did I not figure it out before?!
As well as visual lists, there are visual instructions which is incredibly useful and while I’ll test out the recipes before baking with my niece, I’m really excited to do so. And eat them of course. Smores toast?! You had me at Smore.

A great cookbook for young cooks! There is a wide range of recipes of different skill levels that kids of various cooking abilities can try. Baking Class is recommended for ages 8-12, but my 2 year old (with my supervision obviously) was able to help me with some of the simplest recipes and loved it!
Baking Class is a great way to build opportunities for parents and children to bond together while making delicious treats. With older, middle school aged children, parents may even be able to kick up their feet and have a treat prepared for them!

The great layout and photos make all the recipes enticing. Clearly-numbered baking steps are easy to follow. I like the spiral binding and sturdy, semi-gloss pages, too. Recommended for elementary-age aspiring bakers.

I think this book is for me and my kids ahah!
I seriously consider taking lessons to improve my baking skills, moreover, if I can share this with my kids it could be great! I'm sure they will be glad to learn baking. It is a good way to learn precision, patience and it's fun!
I have also seen that website called Zowedo, there is lot of baking classes from a lot of vendors, so the reader of that book you can move on from theory to practice here:

This is a great beginners cookbook with plenty of recipes from simple, creative toast to baked goods. There are plenty of tips and definitions to help children understand the basics of cooking. There are three levels of difficulty with the first being simple, the second includes some baking and the third includes a baking and the use of a knife. This means you can have children of different age using one cookbook to guide introduce them to baking and creating fun foods.

March 29, 2020This books has great photos, menu ideas and clear instructions. This would be a great book if it didn't rely so heavily on diary milk, butter, oil, eggs and white flour. It is a shame that people still see these as staples in baking or in cooking in general, especially for children. They are so unhealthful and unnecessary.

This was a beautiful follow up to Baking Class. I learned a lot from this book. However, like the last book, it did not imply that the dry ingredients had to be scooped and followed. I can tell the author was not an actual chef.

I adore this book! Fifty recipes for kids to bake on the kitchen either by themselves or with little assistance from an adult! There were so many recipes either I want to try personally or want to try with a little one that I’m going to purchase this book! I can’t wait to check out the cookbook!

Fantastic! Had fun making several of the recipes over Spring break with my family.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher who supplied an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
"Baking Class" is a fun, adorable, and fairly comprehensive cookbook for baking with children. It doesn't offer any revolutionary recipes. In fact, you could find every recipe in this book online easily, but the beauty of the book comes from collecting everything in one, organized book for use in the kitchen. I had a similar kids' cookbook when I was child and I loved having a collection of recipes "just for me" I could peruse and try out. Most of the recipes are pretty run of the mill (chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins), but there are a few quirky recipes included, like "dig in the dirt pie". The recipes are a great mix of simple and more challenging. The difficulty level of each recipe is noted - with 1, 2, or 3 rolling pins. I think the lessons in the front of the book are very useful for children as they learn to bake. I do wish the author covered food safety more thoroughly. The book is designed for adults to use with children, however, I think it is worth mentioning that bakers should be careful with eggs and always wash their hands and utensils after contact with raw eggs, especially since nearly every recipe calls for eggs. Overall, a great baking book for children interested in the kitchen!
"Baking Class" is a fun, adorable, and fairly comprehensive cookbook for baking with children. It doesn't offer any revolutionary recipes. In fact, you could find every recipe in this book online easily, but the beauty of the book comes from collecting everything in one, organized book for use in the kitchen. I had a similar kids' cookbook when I was child and I loved having a collection of recipes "just for me" I could peruse and try out. Most of the recipes are pretty run of the mill (chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins), but there are a few quirky recipes included, like "dig in the dirt pie". The recipes are a great mix of simple and more challenging. The difficulty level of each recipe is noted - with 1, 2, or 3 rolling pins. I think the lessons in the front of the book are very useful for children as they learn to bake. I do wish the author covered food safety more thoroughly. The book is designed for adults to use with children, however, I think it is worth mentioning that bakers should be careful with eggs and always wash their hands and utensils after contact with raw eggs, especially since nearly every recipe calls for eggs.
