Messy Me Baking Gift Sets Review

My children and I really enjoy baking even though I’m not that good at it. We usually make buns or chocolate chip cookies and we all help by taking turns of mixing and licking the spoon!

We recently have been sent a Baking Gift Set from Messy Me in return for an honest review.  Messy Me sells a range of stylist products and accessories that are all made for mess and that can easily be wiped clean. They come in some gorgeous patterns and designs too. I was super excited to receive the box as I already love their products. We use their wipe clean tunic bibs on a daily basis with my youngest children.

“Our Baking Gift Set includes one of our wipe clean aprons, a mini rolling pin and set of cookie cutters – perfect for mini bakers and biscuit makers”

Over the weekend, my sister visited and she loves to bake and she’s good at it too! She bakes the most amazing cakes as a hobby but has even made all the kids birthday cakes and a couple of wedding cakes. She and Joshua decided to try out the baking gift set by making some yummy biscuits.

Joshua loves his new apron. I chose the grey apron full of stars. They just wipe clean and are perfect for little ones!

With his auntie’s direction, he mixed all the ingredients together before rolling the mixture out flat. He thought the small rolling pin was fab, great for his little hands.

He used the colourful star cutters which made the most perfect looking biscuits!

As we’re feeling festive, Joshua used jam and icing to create a Christmas master piece! I was so impressed when I saw it!

We have loved using this baking set, it’s perfect for mini bakers. We’ll definitely be baking again very soon.
