Cooking Class - 5-Day Foodie Fun Kids: Basic Baking - Alexandria

What You’ll Do

Explore the best of beginner baking with a top-rated instructor.

Forget boring camps and check out a 5-day cooking series where students ages 7-11 will work together to learn the basics of baking from kitchen safety to how to mix ingredients and decorate your creations. If you’re looking for summer cooking classes that will get your child inspired to help in the kitchen, then this class is perfect. Plus, at the end of the week, each student will get to take home a printed menu, graduation certificate and new skills that they will have for the rest of their lives.

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.

The Dim Sum cooking class was the ultimate date night activity! It’s ideal for any skill level since you’re paired into teams of four, making the process fun and collaborative. ​Our instructor, Maddie, was excellent—she provided clear, detailed instructions along with clever tips and tricks for mastering the meal. A big shout-out to Jonathan and Ellis, the kitchen assistants, who kept everything organized and running smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious, and we will definitely be back!
