Baking Party Ideas For Tweens

While some adults might consider baking to be a tedious chore, tweens can see it as a fun and delicious way to spend an afternoon. If you’re looking for some baking party ideas for your next get-together, here are a few suggestions.

First, make sure to have plenty of supplies on hand, including flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and chocolate chips. Next, choose some simple recipes that won’t take too long to make. Brownies, cupcakes and cookies are always popular choices. Once the baked goods are cooling, set up a decorating station with frosting, sprinkles, and other toppings. And don’t forget the drinks! Pink lemonade or milkshakes go well with just about any dessert. With a little planning, you can throw together a baking party that your tween guests will be sure to enjoy.
