New Dr. Oetker Tea Party range makes perfect holiday activity for children
Sweating and stressing in the kitchen making charcoaled tinged cakes is no fun. Despite initially selling the exciting idea of baking cakes to your young children, some little ones quickly get bored when they realised the finished product takes a bit of effort and twenty minutes in the oven before its ready to eat.
Life saving Dr. Oetker won’t be found tearing around understaffed NHS hospitals, but coolly waiting on a supermarket shelf ready to provide plenty of entertainment on a wet weekend.
This range of baking products is every parents’ friend, especially the ones who realise their cakes are ready when the smoke detector goes off.
The newly launched Tea Party Decorations Range, includes wafer daisies, chocolate hearts, giant stars and mini marshmallows. If you really can’t bake, skip the welded to the cake tin part and use the pretty decorations to liven up shop purchased fairy cakes and even vanilla ice cream as a fun holiday activity.

Baking activities
For a preschooler’s birthday party:
Buy a packet of pre-made fairy cakes
Lay out a table with bowls of icing and pots of decorations
Get youngsters to creatively decorate their own cup cakes as part of a party game
cheap sweets and chocolates from the pound shop are most cost effective for these little butter fingers
For the dastardly cake sale:
Many mums are horrified when their child finally comes home from school with the note requesting a selection of cakes to sell, raising funds for the school library/activity area/roof/sports equipment *delete as applicable.
Repeat as above, but this time with the impressive Tea Party decorations range from Dr. Oetker.
Cheap fairy cakes, some daintily coloured butter icing and plenty of chocolate stars and mini marshmallows will make you appear to be a domestic goddess.
If fairy cakes are a little too predictable, we recommend the delicious Dr. Oetker White Chocolate Chunk Brownie Mix. Simple to prepare, easy to cook. Tastes wonderful. Job done.
The Dr. Oetker Tea Party Decorations range is priced from £1.99 and available from Asda and other supermarkets nationwide.
