Cooking Class - 4-Day Foodie Fun Kids: Baking Skills - Naperville

What You’ll Do

Empower your child's culinary prowess and equip them with new skills with this immersive experience.

Children 7-11 will delight in these hands-on summer cooking classes taught by an expert chef. This particular workshop focuses on the art and science of baking and these tiny chefs will work their way through measuring and mixing up doughs and kneading to develop the gluten structure, flipping crêpes and decorating cakes with homemade frosting and delicate lines of royal icing for expert designs. After creating a bounty of patisserie delights, participants will take home a graduation certificate and printed menu to commemorate their successful bakes.

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.

This event is suitable for kids aged 7-11

Amazing experience! Learned the right way to make pork chops and they were the best I’ve ever had. Will be booking another class soon!

We made a tuscan steak, with homemade, kale-pesto pasta, and an arugula salad with parmesan cheese and balsamic dressing. It was excellent! Our Chef, Will, was very thorough explaining each step, however, it was a lot of steps for the amount of time we had. We enjoyed it; especially my husband who is the cook in the family! My only complaint is that we had to stand to eat the meal, after already standing for 2 hours! After paying the total amount for the class, I thought we would be able to sit and savior the meal we just made; instead of rushing to be done and leave.
