That's why we rounded up a bunch of our favorite baking recipes that you (and the kids!) can pour all of your energy into — and then devour. So turn off the news for just a bit, turn up your favorite music and get baking. (Self-care for the win!)

The kids are going to LOVE this one.

Don't fret if your icing doesn't seem quite right at first — make it thicker by adding more sugar to the boiling water, or thinner by using less sugar.
