Teen Baking Club 3 Part Series

3 Part Class: September 11, October 9, November 6

Our Teen Baking Club is a great way to introduce your teen to baking! This comprehensive club spans three months, with monthly sessions that focus on building essential skills and applying them to delicious recipes. Our club is crafted to provide a progressive and hands-on learning experience for teens. Each session builds upon the skills learned in the previous one, creating a well-rounded foundation in the art of baking.

We believe that by attending all three sessions, your teen will not only develop an understanding of basic baking techniques but also gain the confidence to experiment with flavors and ingredients as they develop. Throughout the course, participants will have the opportunity to explore a variety of ingredients, essential baking tools, and taste recipes they’ve created.
