National Bake For Family Fun Month

If baking is any labor at all, it’s a labor of love. A love that gets passed from generation to generation.

There’s something about the smell of baked goods cooking in the oven that just says home and security. When we think about Christmas time, it’s always the smell of sugar cookies baking that sticks in the memory. When you come home and the smell of a hot dinner is playing harmonies with the delicious smell of that evening’s dessert in the oven, you know that everything is ok.

National Bake For Family Fun Month encourages you to share a month of love and shared tradition with your family by baking in the kitchen, for fun!

How to Celebrate National Bake For Family Fun Month

Enjoy Baking with Your Family

The best way to celebrate National Bake For Family Fun Month is to get yourself into the kitchen with your family and start baking up some deliciousness.

Bake Bread Together

Tonight it can be a fresh loaf of bread where the kids can get involved. Even better, make that bread dough into pretzels where the children can twist up the lengths of dough into uniquely shaped knots before baking! Such simple things are what family memories are made from.

Get Creative with Baking Cookies

Have a love for cookies? Get out there and bake yourself some, there’s no need to go to the store! Let the kids decorate them in fun and exciting ways! This creates some much needed time to bond with your family, something we don’t do enough of these days.

History of National Bake For Family Fun Month

National Bake For Family Fun Month was established to help promote the retention of an ancient family ritual that goes back into the earliest days of human existence. Baking is a great experience for friends and family alike, promoting everything from some basic understandings of chemistry, to knowing how to properly measure out each of the ingredients to get the desired results.

Tactile knowledge is gained as you begin to be able to know when you’ve kneaded the bread enough by how it feels under your hands, and then, most importantly, there’s the shared love of family and food that comes across as you build family traditions.

In today’s fast-paced consumer and convenience based society, the joys of a fresh baked batch of cookies continues to be an experience worth sharing with your family.

National Bake for Family Fun Month was founded in 2002 by The Home Baking Association with the purpose of encouraging more people to connect over wholesome projects at home.
