Dirt cake

These have real wow factor! They look gorgeous at parties as you can make quite a few small ones and put them in the centre of the food table.

Birds nests

These make great easter treats that the kids will love to make. You can use any kind of treats to put in the nest. Wrap them up and give them away as gifts

Smartie cookies

These cookies are great for birthday parties. Covered in chocolate and with little smartie faces the kids will just love them, and they taste great, too!

Peanut brittle

Make this peanut brittle in minutes and serve as a sweet treat at a party or put in a pretty jar and give to a friend as a gift. Either way, it's a winner!

Nan’s zucchini loaf

This is a beautifully moist loaf that tastes of vanilla and cinnamon, not zucchini! It will keep in the fridge for a month - not that it will last that long! Pop some in the kids' lunchbox for a tasty snack that's a little bit healthy, too.

Easy scones

Whip up a batch of these easy peasy scones before the kids get in from school and serve them up with strawberry jam as an afternoon treat. Better still; make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for lunch boxes!

Banana muffins

Banana muffins are an easy addition to any lunch box with very little extra sugar added - and you could add choc chips, macadamias or pecans to the mixture for variation.

Buttermilk scones

Your kids will love getting their hands right into the flour to rub in the butter. Only a little bit of kneading required and then all the fun of cutting out the scones!

Luscious lemon tart

This refreshing, tangy lemon tart is always a much anticipated dessert. What we like most about it is that it doesn't contain the heavy cream and egg filling of cafe-style lemon tarts. Use a frozen shortcrust pastry tart to make this recipe super-quick.

No bake hazelnut slice

This is a great recipe for the kids to help with as there is no baking and it is ready in minutes. It taste delicious and is perfect for an afternoon snack or to pop in as a treat in the lunchbox

Honeycomb

This golden honeycomb is a sweet treat to make at home with the kids - as long as you supervise closely! Kids enjoy seeing it froth and bubble to triple its size during cooking.

Classic sponge cake

Just like grandma used to make, this recipe for sponge cake will soon be a favourite in your home. Sponge cake is a lovely light cake for afternoon tea. The cake can be prepared in the morning and sandwiched together with filling just before needed.

Quick muffins

These muffins are not only easy to make but also quick! Customise this muffin mix with your favourite inclusions such as choc chips, raspberries or bananas.
