This kit was incredible for my Year 5 class. Thank you so Nestle for sponsoring it. Out of the 4 substituted ingredients we tried and made separate batches of cupcakes, every child tried a bit of every cupcake and really enjoyed the taste. They loved learning about the different combinations of ingredients and their chemical reaction. An excellent learning tool! Thank you.
