Cooking Class - 5-Day Foodie Fun Kids: Baking Basics

Inspire the next generation of chefs with this immersive experience all about mastering baking methods.

Ideal for ages 7-11, these summer cooking classes will ignite your child's culinary passions and equip them with practical skills to elevate their craft. Starting with the basics of kitchen safety, especially related to raw ingredients, these budding chefs will mix and knead perfect dough to be shaped and proofed into culinary masterpieces. They will also mix batter, flip crêpes and decorate their baked goods with homemade frosting and intricate designs made of royal icing thanks to tips and tricks from the chef instructor.

Classes typically run for two to two and a half hours, unless specified otherwise. Group work is a key component; kids can expect to collaborate with four other students. The class involves standing, cooking and active participation throughout. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required and long hair should be securely tied back for safety. Please note that these are drop-off classes. Parents do not stay during the classes.

My husband and I recently attended a cooking class led by Chef Justin, and while we appreciated his wide knowledge and the overall enjoyment of the class, we left feeling disappointed for a few reasons. First, we found it frustrating that we had to share our cooking table with other participants. This made it challenging to fully engage in the cooking process. Additionally, we were only given the opportunity to make one pasta dough collectively, which didn’t allow each of us to have our own hands-on experience. We believe that having individual stations would greatly enhance the learning process. Moreover, much of the food, like sauces, was pre-prepared by the chef. While we enjoyed learning about the techniques, we missed out on the practical experience of cooking those items ourselves. It felt more like a demonstration rather than an interactive cooking class. Overall, while we appreciated Chef Justin’s expertise, the format of the class didn’t meet our expectations for a hands-on experience. We hope future classes will offer more opportunities for individual participation and cooking.

This was an excellent class. Our instructor was very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. The food was also delicious. Left this class with a full stomach and equally enriched mind.
