The first recipe we tried from this cookbook was a total disaster. My girls were very disappointed. We tried to make sparkly starfish. First off, these sugar cookies have only three ingredients: flour, butter, and sugar. The resulting dough is very crumbly and tricky to roll out, let alone cut into stars. Then it instructs you to bake them on wax paper. Wax paper? I have never baked on wax paper and I cannot imagine the wax would add something tasty to the recipe. We used parchment paper. The instructions then say to bake the cookies at 375 for 15-18 minutes. I pulled ours out at 9 when the tips of the stars started to turn black. The results are sort of tough shortbread cookie that nobody enjoyed. Although the layout of this book is cute and fun, I'm wondering if the recipes were actually tested out in a real kitchen. Perhaps if we had carried on and covered these cookies with the recommended layers of frosting, fondent, chocolate and sprinkles (yes, all four) we might have found them a little more tasty.
Do not follow the recipes in this book! My daughter got this for her 6th birthday and we both loved the looks of it. I first made the gingerbread wands and it was a complete debacle. The dough wasn't doughy; it was crumby like granola. So I tried adding more butter and even water but to no avail. I later looked up gingerbread cookie recipes and most of them call for shortening, which would have solved the problem. This was a complete waste of time and money, and I spent so much more time on it because I was trying to make it work. I think the decorating ideas are fun for little kids, just be sure to use a recipe from another cookbook.
I had very high hopes for this book. It does have helpful measurement conversions in the event that you need to utilize the metric system in your recipes. It is also very beautifully illustrated that would appeal to younger children. That is where my fondness for this "recipe book" ends.So far I have made four of the cookie/donut recipes which were a complete failure, the end results were inedible and more importantly a complete disappointment and waste of time. My children were consistently let down by these awful recipes, even though we continued to try out others in the book. There were a few good ideas, like the Happy Heart Pops and the Marshmallow Disco Pops that we will probably try without using any of the suggested recipes from the book, as they are plays on easier treats most people will be able to make anyway.If you are already a baker, or even slightly familiar with the basics, I would recommend using your own tried and true recipes from an actual cookbook and avoid this waste of time and money.
We tried our first receipe, the apple snackles. My daughter and I bake a lot and this is the first time a recipe did turn out as it should. Without flour and eggs, I don't know how these bars were supposed to stick together. The flavor is very good, but we wound up with granola rather than a granola-like bar. I also agree with another reviewer who questioned the use of wax paper instead of parchment paper.
This is a really cute book! My nieces really enjoyed reading it and cooking. So far they liked the Fairy Cupcakes and fancy frosting the best.
My six year old loved this book when her friend shared it. Now my daughter thinks their little girls should read it too.
Great book for little girls very colorful with easy instructions, makes baking with my daughter even more fun!
