This week on Kids in the Kitchen we made Easter Biscuits. A really simple recipe where the kids had lots of fun. We made our own icing bags to decorate the biscuits and later I’ll give you a little tutrial on how to make an icing bag.
If you would like to know more about Kids in the Kitchen please check out the page where I tell you why I started the linky and what you can do to join in.
I’d like to say thank you to the Brilliant Chef for joining in last week with his scrumptious Spring Cookies.
I’d love some more of you to join in this week, so please link up any posts you have of your children’s cooking activities. I can’t wait to read them.

Icing Bag Tutorial
- Fold the sheet of greaseproof paper diagonally and cut to make a triangle.
- place the triangle upside down with the point nearest you and the flat side furthest away.
- Take one corner of the flat side and roll it up to the point of the triangle, holding with your fingers.
- Take the other corner and roll it up and around so it joins up with the first corner at the tip of the triangle.
- Fold over the ends to secure.
- Snip the end of the cone to make a tiny hole for the icing to come out.
Harry keeps asking us to bake biscuits, damn nursery! Although I guess this would be good for over the Easter holidays; I am really struggling with ideas of what to do with him!
These look lovely! I can't wait to bake some with my daughter next week 🙂 Stopping by from LAB club x
They look great. I'm lazy and after lots of mucky homemade piping bag attempts, I've now bought a set. So much easier, but probably less fun! #blogclub
I've always wanted to know how to make an icing bag!! #lab
Loved your piping bag tutorial, it's my big grouse that I never get that right! 🙂 Looks like you'll had a lovely time making this..nothing beats some quality time and fun with the kids in the kitchen! #lab
Those biscuits look yummy x
They look yummy and fun 🙂
You must have heard my cry for help last week when i explained that I didn't have a clue how to make icing bags – this tutorial is perfect! I always imagined you start with a circle shape for some reason. I love all your Eastery shapes for your cookies. x
Wow the icing bag tip is so awesome! Its always a problem as we have this small bottle that is hard to squeeze! Now I know what to do! Thanks. #pocolo
That looks like so much fun, and the icing bag tip is genius 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

I think that it's good to have kids in the kitchen with you at an early age learning how to cook. It's also a great way to spend some quality time together.
Looks like great fun! My daughter loves making biscuits we don't get chance to make them often though. Must try this out while we've got time off over Easter x
These are so great – and brilliant that you did an icing bag tutorial, I am so useless with that!! We are making some nests so are hoping to link up this week. Thank you for linking to PoCoLo x
