What are the ingredients for a perfect picnic? A checked blanket, a sunny spot (even if it's just in your backyard), and a basketful of treats. Here are three such delights: Butterfly Banana Cupcakes, Luscious Lemon Bars, and Giant Cowboy Cookies. They are not only great alfresco fare, but are also easy first baking projects for kids. Each one teaches a fun technique or two, and the results are so yummy, the ants at your picnic will have to look elsewhere to find any crumbs.
