Batter Up Kids Delicious Desserts

Kids (perhaps bedecked in the accompanying chef's hat) can dish up sweets and treats found in Batter Up Kids: Delicious Desserts by Barbara Beery, founder of an Austin, Tex., cooking school of the same name. Recipes accompany finished photos for 25 creative confections that lack nothing for presentation, including Candy-Coated Dragonflies, Baked Snowballs and Stack 'Em High Strawberry Shortcakes. Child-friendly instructions (the Baked Snowballs recipe explains that frothy egg whites should look ""like soapsuds"") create an inviting tone.
