Things Bakers Know: The King Arthur Baking Podcast
Baking with Kids: Fun or Chaos? featuring Samantha Seneviratne
20 Oct 2025
Give kids a baked good, and you’ve fed them for a day. Teach kids to bake, and well ... you know. We’ve been thinking a lot about baking with kids, because we’ve been hard at work writing a brand-new kids baking cookbook! And despite the mess and the chaos, we think it’s all worth it. So does cookbook author Samantha Seneviratne, who joins the show to chat with Jessica about baking with her adorable son Artie and the advice she has for anyone spending time in the kitchen with a young one. Then we have a very special edition of Ask the Bakers, featuring all questions from kids. (And boy, they’re some good ones.) Jessica shares a Jess-opinion all about the state of the restaurant kid’s menu, and we close out the show with the recipes she and David are baking this week.
