And for those looking for new ways to entertain the kids at home, Donna Hay Basics To Brilliance Kids will allow the little cooks in the house to create delcious treats such as Donna’s ultimate chocolate fudge cake, jars of her crunchy granola, better-for-you chocolate crackles and, of course, cupcakes!
