Home Game Version of Great British Bake Off

One Saturday morning we decided to issue a challenge to the children, a la the technical challenges of The Great British Bake Off--make muffins for breakfast! They had to make three varieties with six muffins each. Bonus points would be awarded from adding other things like eggs to the breakfast offering, with double points for bacon!

The kids got to work right away. They made lemon muffins, pumpkin muffins (we still had an unused can from Thanksgiving), and banana muffins.

My daughter made a special glaze from the lemon muffins.

Ready for the next batch!

To gain the extra credit (something you can't do on the Bake Off), she made both scrambled eggs and smoothies. Yum!

The only task left was plating the pastries in a delectable way. Big brother helped out, arranging the muffins in layers and making sure any "seventh" muffins were taken care of.

"I demand a recount!"

The spread was quite delicious and we were happy to have the kids take a hand in making breakfast. Feel free to use this scheme on your kids!

A fine presentation
