You recipe ideas good for kids "cook a sale? The school my son is having a bake sale run by the children in his class. They are raising money for charity. Anyway, the bake sale will be attended by other children from kindergarten through junior high. I fear that many people will make the cookies chocolate chip standard and brownies, so I want to stay away from them. What else uses child weight? Thank you!
Oh yes, I have a good thing that children will love.
What you do is get a cake mix, any kind, and you follow the recipe for cupcakes. But instead of putting the cupcakes in paper cups plain boring, pour the batter into the cones with flat bottoms. Most multi-color are the best. Bake cupcakes in cones at the temperature recommended on the box of cake mix. Cool. Then you can decorate all kinds of ways. They look like ice cream cones, but they are cupcakes.
