There are few better things that you can do with a little one than baking.
In my experience they love it. The youngest was so proud of her cake and loved telling her mum that she'd helped with it.
Also a raspberry cake like this is a great way of using up some of the raspberries!
Really easy recipe, just a standard sponge mix with 200g of raspberries added in at the end and a couple teaspoons of vanilla essence., tastes amazing though!
That does look lovely. We were given some raspberries the other day and ate them with a slice of homemade Bara Brith and some custard, over two nights!
ReplyDeleteI do love a bit of bara brith and jam myself!
DeleteThose homemade raspberry cakes look great Kevin and girls! I suppose they taste so good too:) Wonderful fun and early training for your two lovely girls...what you invest on your children now, will all pay off later too!
ReplyDeleteYeah - hopefully lots of homemade cakes!
DeleteAh - that pic with the young'un and the teaspoon - so cute :)
ReplyDeleteShe's a cutie alright!
DeleteKev - those cakes look delicious! and the memories you are creating with your girls will last a lifetime! you are a really good Dad and your girls will never forget it! sending love! your friend,

We are a little addicted to a good cake or three!
DeleteIt looks lovely. As well as baking a cake, which in itself is a wonderful achievement you also gave your little one a valuable maths lesson and a science lesson, and to top it all a wonderful sense of pride at helping to feed the family.
ReplyDeleteMagical memories of baking with Dad too.
She loves it. "I stir" she told everyone she met later in the day!
DeleteKev, you are a dad in a million! That cake looks good.....
ReplyDeleteIt was! Didn't last long though!
DeleteThe cakes look good!
ReplyDeleteA cake here has a short life expectancy!
Deleteummm any left?
ReplyDeleteTwo days it was gone!
DeleteWe popped over to UK recently, and I met my 5 yr old grand-niece for the first time. I gave her a pinny, ovengloves and some little tins for a present as I heard she likes to bake with her mummy - apparently she was thrilled and wanted to post me a fairy cake! Well done to you - a valuable time well spent!
ReplyDeleteMine have always taken great interest in cookery and still love their little toy kitchen I built them. How sis the fairy do in the post!?!

ReplyDeleteAll children should be given this opportunity' it's an important part of their education. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI think it's much more important than some things they're taught in school, after all we have to eat three times a day!
