Baking with kids is more than just mixing ingredients; it’s about creating lasting memories, teaching life skills, and enjoying the sweet moments together.
My years of teaching and baking experience have taught me more than a few things and I want to share them with you!
Are you:
- A parent/caregiver of a kid who loves to bake?
Whether your child is already pretty confident in the kitchen or still learning, Baking Club will increase their love of baking by providing a fun environment to showcase their skills & learn new ones.
- A parent/caregiver who wants their kids to love to bake?
The research on why children should bake is endless! Science, Maths & literacy skills are just some of all the benefits of baking with kids. Even if you're not a baker yourself, Baking Club is a fun, educational activity that the whole family can be involved with!
- Someone who wants to bake & create special memories with their children?
Whether you're a Mum or Dad or a Grandparent (or anyone that loves to bake with kids) then Baking Club is for you. Just creating a space each week for baking together is so special & you'll create memories that will last forever.
then you'll LOVE Baking Club Online!
Don't believe me? Read what current participants have said;
"It has increased my daughters confidence in the kitchen, giving her opportunities to try recipes, new foods, she wouldn’t naturally choose to bake".
"Our daughter loves baking club. It is always a highlight to find out what the next challenge is or baking project will be. It is great to be at home and getting more familiar and comfortable using the equipment available. Our daughter can now accurately weigh various ingredients, place trays in the oven and now likes baking with friends when they visit for playdates. Heather always encourages cleanliness before, during and after the baking process so no need for parents to nag."
"Baking club has been great for my nine-year-old. Her confidence in the kitchen has grown a lot since we started. The skills challenges are such a great addition to the club. Heather is a fantastic teacher and keeps the kids engaged the whole time. Highly recommend."

Who's behind all of this?
Hi, I'm Heather Kalisch. Owner & founder of Bake With Me & Baking Club Online. I live in Sunny Tauranga, New Zealand with my husband and 2 children and am so passionate about baking and teaching. I have many hats but below you'll find my 3 main ones and more about me!
I can't wait to get to know you and your children through Baking Club Online.
Teacher
Teaching is my absolute passion. I get such a thrill out of being able to encourage & work with young people to see them succeed in both the kitchen & in life.
I've got over 15 years experience working with primary aged children in all sorts of environments but mostly as a fully qualified & registered primary school teacher.
I highly value relationships in teaching, I see myself as a coach to help guide you in your baking journey. No matter your age! I can't wait to get to know you through Baking Club Online.
Baker
I have always loved baking. I remember as a child making chocolate cakes with my Dad. There's something so special in being able to make something great that you can eat!!
7 years ago I started a business called "Macarons & More" selling all sorts of home baking. I baked for markets & weddings & birthdays, you name it!
I've since combined my love for baking & teaching together to bring you "Bake With Me" which is the umbrella business of Baking Club Online. I run in person baking and cake decorating classes for children and adults in Tauranga, NZ.
Mum
I've got 2 beautiful children who are 2 and 5 so as you can imagine, life is busy!
As a mum, I get what baking with kids can be like! I created Baking Club to allow time and space to create special memories with your children by baking together in a fun & relaxed way.
Through Baking Club, I'm trying to take some of the stress out of baking with children by providing a fun environment to allow you to make precious memories with your children.
Here's what Baking Club parents have said about me...
"I love the simple recipes and instuctions. Heather always brings so much energy to the class."
"I think you are amazing Heather, your warmth and passion are so evident in all interacts."
"Heather is encouraging and enthusiastic. Describes things in a very kid friendly way"

a Christmas twist!
Butterfly Cupcakes
Cheesy Marmite Twists
Plus lots more already in the member's area
Frequently Asked Questions
Each fortnight, you'll be emailed the ingredient & equipment list to be prepared to bake along with us. You'll have the opportunity to join a live zoom session to bake along together.
Live bake-alongs for Term 1 are going to be on a Sunday afternoon 3pm New Zealand Time. But remember, even if you can't attend live, the bake-along sessions are always recorded and you can bake later at any time that suits you!
We use an online host called systeme.io. After you purchase Baking Club Online Term 3, you'll be redirected to a page where you need to make a username and password- you'll need this to access the classes, the challenges & the community forum pages.
There will be a change in Term 1 as I am changing to a new provider to make Baking Club Online even better but I will email you with all of the details early 2025.
It really depends on the particular recipe that we are making as to whether or not allergy friendly substitutions can be made. Alternative products affect the way products bake so direct swaps may or may not work on depending what it is. I am able to offer some advice regarding substitutions but this is not my area of expertise so I'm not able to accept responsibility for any allergic reactions that may occur.
Contact Heather at hello@bakewithme.co.nz for any questions or for help signing up. Alternatively, visit our Facebook page by clicking here and sending me a PM.
I'm located in New Zealand but Baking Club Online is able to be accessed worldwide. I've specifically designed the recipes for Australian and Kiwi families. Measurements will always be metric and ingredients will always be NZ based. However, I do understand that the timing for live bake-alongs won't suit everyone so sessions will always be recorded and available for replay at a convienient time for you.
Baking Club is aimed at children of all ages and their families. Older children can gain independence by baking alone and younger children can bake with their families.
This is a great question. The answer depends on your child and their own abilities. Younger children can bake with their family and older children can bake by themselves. Learning to follow along with a live (or pre-recorded video) is a great stepping stone to gain independence in the kitchen. I always 100% recommend an adult being present and available, even with older children in case of mishaps!
As a mum, I am super cautious about what I share online & I highly value you feeling safe and secure. I've purposely kept everything within secure, password protected platform.
Everything in the members area is password protected & available for paying members only. It is up to you how much information you share online & I recommend exercising caution when posting pictures. There's also an initial information page that talks about being safe online.
