National Bake for Family Fun Month is in February in the United States.

This is a holiday that celebrates home-cooking or, more specifically, home baking. Rather than buying in, food can be cooked as a family.

Baking can be done with many different foods, but the most common ones will be sweet dishes, such as pies and cakes, from individual cupcakes to full-size cakes. For children, baking and decorating cupcakes can be the most fun to do.

Savoury dishes, such as pies again, can also be baked. Then there is also the classic baked product, bread. Bread can be baked in a breadmaker, of course, but this doesn't really qualify as baking for family fun, because all that is done in many cases is that the ingredients are put in the machine and it is turned on.
