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

31 reviews

Share Event

Bake away in this fun and interactive summer cooking series created just for budding chefs.

Foodies ages 7-11 learn baking essentials in this cooking series. Spend five days in summer cooking classes practicing the basics of baking sweet and savory goodies. Participants work alongside a professional chef while mixing dough, twisting it into soft pretzels and practicing other culinary skills. The course covers basic food prep, kitchen tools and essential safety measures. The series culminates with a baking challenge where kids create something special using a photo and a basic recipe for reference. Printed menus and a graduation certificate are handed out upon course completion.

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

We did not have chef Zach but the chef we had was excellent. Instructions clear and visuals were good. She explained why things happen and gave us hints on how to be better bakers. Her assistant was also excellent. She was patient and helpful.

Candy was so knowledgeable and helpful during the class! Her instructions were clear and she was able to explain the science behind macarons and meringue which helped me tremendously! I’ve never enjoyed the taste of macarons until I did this class, which made me realize macarons are delicious!

For $99 per person, we got pretty awful cuts of beef, didn’t really learn anything, and just kind of threw a whole bunch of ingredients together while the instructor practically made everything. It was kind of like a labor intensive dinner where you had to stand at a very low table to eat a meal in 20 minutes. Seems like a fun date night, and it was A fine experience overall, but skip this and spend $99 on An amazing steak dinner . A haphazard lesson about chopping herbs is not worth the money.
