Simply Baking: Kids Kitchen

Simply Baking is a hands on baking class for kids who love to bake and want to build confidence in the kitchen while learning the basics of baking. Each week, young bakers will measure, mix, and prepare their own batter or dough in class while learning essential kitchen skills such as accurate measuring, recipe reading, flavor pairing, and safe food handling. Because baking is a science, students will explore why ingredients work the way they do and how small changes can affect the final result. After preparing their creations in class, students will take their ready to bake treats home to pop in the oven, enjoy with their families, and show off their new baking skills. This course blends fun, creativity, and real world learning.  Please be aware that because of the nature of how this class is set up this class can not be tailored for households with food allergies and dietary restrictions
