Batter Late Than Never: 5 Reasons to Bake Together as a Family at IDIM
There’s always room for dusting your family life with a little bit of sweetness and baking to your heart’s content at the IDIM DIY Bakery
Most parents would prefer to work solo in the kitchen for a lot of different reasons, whether it’s because they want to make the process so much quicker and easier, or because they want to keep the room tidy. However, baking together with the family gives every member the benefits that make it worth the extra clean-up. After all, a busy kitchen is a happy kitchen.
If you’re already in the habit of baking together with your partner and your children, that’s awesome. Keep it up! But in case you aren’t yet, we’ve listed five reasons you’ll want to. Read on to find out.
1. Baking strengthens your family ties.
Whether you decide to focus on a family recipe that’s been passed down for generations or you want to try something you found online, baking together makes the perfect opportunity to bond with your family, especially at the IDIM DIY Bakery.
You can do family baking at this comfortable and creative space without worrying about making a total mess afterwards. So, you have more time to reminisce core memories, share laughter, and most importantly discover new things—not only about baking, but also about each other.
2. Baking provides teachable moments.
Young children can learn and enhance their fine motor skills when you allow them to whisk eggs, mix ingredients, and press the dough with cookie cutters on their own. And if you feel you’re not as good as a baker yourself, you can let your kid know that you’re learning, too. This way, you teach them about recognizing one’s strengths and weaknesses, and having the courage to learn new things at their own pace.
At the IDIM DIY Bakery, they don’t shoot at perfection, so you’re free to feel the excitement of a beginner baker and not get all the measurements right the first time. Should you ever need extra hands in the kitchen, the store’s well-trained and friendly staff will be there to lend you some.
3. Baking boosts one’s self-esteem.
One of the first few things we did in the kitchen as a child was help our parents make food for the family. Admittedly, we weren’t always that much of help back then and we probably made a mess or two. But that first food that we helped make from scratch will always be something we’re happy to look back on, even when we’ve grown old. It made us proud.
By letting your children make their first batch of cookies from scratch, you are allowing them to experience that magical moment, too. You’re helping them build their confidence, and baking together at the IDIM DIY Bakery might just be the pick-me-up they need.
4. Baking encourages socialization.
Lockdown implementations forced many families to spend some time apart and narrowed the doors for better communication. It was a rough patch for everyone. So, to make up for lost time, try inviting everybody to do some family baking at IDIM DIY Bakery, even if the kids seem to have all grown up. Rekindle that bond with your teens while decorating a cake with fresh fruits and whipped cream.
5. Baking makes creativity run wild.
Baking gives families the creative freedom to bake anything they want, especially if it’s done in IDIM DIY Bakery. The store is equipped only with high-quality ingredients, top of the line baking equipment and materials, a wide selection of cake decors, exceptional customer service, and spacious baking areas—all perfect even for aspiring bakers with zero to little baking experience.
So, whether you’re baking a chocolate cupcake with a green frosting or a heart-shaped cake with orange flower pipings, IDIM DIY Bakery is a place where your family can get a break from ordinary confectionery shops. By the time you’re finished baking together, you all can proudly say “I did it myself!”
IDIM DIY Bakery goes beyond selling cakes; it gives you and your family the complete baking journey. You can find the store in Taipei, Macau, Ho Chi Minh, Hangzhou, and now in Manila. Visit their website for more information. For updates, follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok.
