Getting your Children to bake with you increases in them the interest for food and they eventually become good eaters, here in this Journey i share with you a passion for baking, something i get my children involved in, I have enjoyed it thoroughly and i hope you do too.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Baking with my Beautiful Daughter Bethany, has always been an amazing journey, imagine flour everywhere except in the mixing bowl, a broken egg on the floor, or sugar and loads of them all over your weighing scale, the experience is priceless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Every term holiday I inevitably have to bake, be it Elsa Cupcakes, or Carrot Cake, I can\u2019t resist it when she wants to bake, its this sheer excitement that has made me blog this Halloween Bake Off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The idea came from the Pumpkin we were carving for Halloween and you could see that the trimmings had Spiced Cake written all over them combined with my love for the Spiced Pumpkin Latte you get during the Christmas season at Starbucks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It will be hard to get kids to eat pumpkin and spices so i have tweaked the recipe and got Bethany to put dark chocolate, raisins and peanut butter, the perennial favourite of little children, so what are you waiting for get the mixing bowl out and whip up this Wicked Cake, Happy Baking and Happy Halloween!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
