Super Good Baking for Kids

Credit: Amazon
Shop Here

Got a Kids Baking Championship fan in the house? Buy them the cookbook created by co-host Duff Goldman. After an intro to “mise en place” (which will contain the mess!), Goldman serves up nine chapters of recipes—from cookies to tarts—in his signature fun style. Plus he sprinkles in science lessons, like how yeast works its magic. Although younger kids would have fun making the dishes with you, the cookbook is best for the 8-and-up crowd.

Your budding chef could whip up his own Cauldron Cakes with this set of two spatulas available in designs that correspond to the four house crests. If your kid hasn’t taken the quiz to determine his house yet, buy the one that matches his favorite character. Harry is a Gryffindor, but you probably already knew that! If you’re brave, look at the whole Harry Potter line from Williams Sonoma. We’re swooning over so much, including the house crest cookie stampers.
