We’ve been working on our Hey Little Cupcake Baking Kits for a while, and we’re SO excited to finally share them with you!
First up… The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. Because if you’re going to bake cookies, they need to be chunky, gooey, chocolatey and melt-in-the-mouth delicious. 🤎
Our easy-to-follow kit makes 6–8 chunky chocolate chip cookies, with all the ingredients you need included — apart from one very important ingredient that unfortunately doesn’t travel very well in the post… an egg! 🥚
🧁 What's Inside?
We’ve done the measuring, weighing and ingredient gathering for you. Your kit includes:
Premium flour
Sugars
Butter
Raising agents
Chocolate chips
Baking parchment
Our easy-to-follow recipe
A link to our online step-by-step baking video
We use premium ingredients because we want you to get the very best bake at home. And after lots of testing, tweaking, eating and testing again, we’ve created a recipe that we think makes THE BEST chocolate chip cookies.

At Hey Little Cupcake, we believe that anyone can bake – all it takes is a few simple steps, a little encouragement, and the right recipe. Our Anyone Can Bake classes are designed to make baking feel approachable and enjoyable, no matter your experience.
These are skills for life – from mastering the basics to creating sweet memories with loved ones. We hope what you learn with us isn’t just something you keep, but something you pass down for generations to come.
Whether you're a total beginner or a budding baker, this class is designed to show you just how simple—and fun—baking can be. With hands-on guidance, simple techniques, and a sprinkle of our expert tips, you’ll leave with the confidence to recreate delicious bakes at home.
Each class focuses on one type of bake like cookies, brownies, cupcakes and more. You'll learn everything from mixing and measuring to baking and decorating. Best of all, you’ll take home your own handmade treats and a handy fact sheet to support your baking journey.
Let’s get stuck in—and remember, anyone can bake!
