Time: 7 + hours Yield: 6 popsicles Ingredients: 1 ½ cups fresh squeezed orange juice (5-7 oranges) ½ cup water ¼ cup granulated sugar Sliced strawberries (optional) Directions:
  1. Slice each orange in half then squeeze out as much juice as possible.
  2. Once you’ve squeezed enough oranges to have 1 ½ cups, pour it into a larger bowl with a spout.
  3. Add the water and sugar to the orange juice and stir until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and top off the mold with the popsicle sticks. If you want to add strawberries, slice a couple strawberries into thin pieces and drop into the popsicle molds.
  5. Move the filled popsicle molds to the freezer and let freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
  6. After at least 6 hours of freezing, run the outside of the popsicle molds under hot water to loosen them up. This will make it easier to pull them out of the molds.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
