We Bake for Change

Hi readers,

I attended a fun and delicious event with Free the Children called We Bake for Change. The idea of We Bake for Change is to whip up some of your favourite treats with your family, and then hold a bake sale at school to help raise money to support families in developing communities.

To show us just how easy and fun baking could be, Free the Children invited some students from a local school to help cook something up. Under the expert eyes of professional chefs, the students made many yummy treats like Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies and Sprinkled Sugar Cookies.

Get your (clean) hands in the mix!

Each group was assigned a different treat to make. They had to read the recipe carefully and then get to work mixing, rolling, sprinkling, and pouring.

Lots of the students I talked to already help out in the kitchen at home. Now they can use the new recipes for their next bake sale.

And after all of their hard work, the best part was …tasting! And if they tasted as good as they smelled, these guys were in for a treat!

Now it’s your turn, I want to know what’s your favourite treat to make in the kitchen?
