“My students and I loved this kit! Many students had not baked before, so there was a big learning curve. The healthy eating aspect of the kit, and the idea of putting vegetables in their cakes was challenging for many children, but they loved the opportunity to be creative and create their recipes. They tested their recipes, and we also had our DP come in as a blind taster. The kids were very excited to see how their recipes came out, and they were all very successful. This was great fun and I think the kids learned heaps!”
