Learn To Bake With Baketivity + Duff Goldman Cake and Cookie Kits

We all know who the Ace of Cakes is. It’s no secret that Duff Goldman, a celebrity chef with an abundance of creativity, is the role model for many aspiring bakers around the world.

With everything he does, be it baker, chef, or TV personality, Duff takes the cake. Duff Goldman cakes are the most sought after cakes. Each one is a masterpiece on its own, with intricate details and delicious taste.

Baketivity is excited to collaborate with Duff Goldman on the production of the Baketivity x Duff kits.

What is a kids baking kit?

Many children grow up with a passion for baking, with a yearning to create something that is tasty and show stopping at the same time. The younger a child is, the more energy they have to invest in their passions and to become great at what they love.

But what happens when a child longs to bake, but he/she just can’t, simply because their parents are busy, they can’t find a good recipe, or for any other simple reason?

Their passion gets buried and they lose the momentum to bake and create.

A kids baking kit is the perfect solution to any of the mentioned issues. Our baking set for kids comes with:

The perfect, kid-friendly recipe- so they don’t nag their parents for one.
Pre-measured ingredients- so they get to bake without the mess and hassle.
Illustrated step-by-step instructions- so they can bake it on their own from beginning to end.
Educational activity- because learning while baking helps retain the information.

A DIY baking kit is there to kindle that spark they have, and help it turn into a blazing passion.

The DIY Duff Goldman Monster Cake & Cupcakes Kit

Ever seen pictures of those furry monster cakes, and wished to recreate it? And then stopped wishing because you thought you didn’t have the capabilities?

Well, now you can make your very own furry monster cake!


This Baketivity x Duff cake kit gives you the tools, instructions and guidance needed to create a perfect monster cake!

The best part is that this recipe can be made into cupcake monsters!

It used to be that when baking with kids, the treats created were tasty yet basic. After all, no one wants to start baking something detailed with kids, only to be left to finish it up on your own.

But when Baketivity’s goal of helping children learn to bake more than just the basics merges with Duff’s goal of exploring the science of baking, the result is a rocking kit!

If those fuzzy pipings look scary to you, fear not! Upon purchasing the kit, you’ll get access to a tutorial video that shows you exactly how to do it so that you can recreate it perfectly.

Get ready to knock everyone’s socks off with this masterpiece!
