Kids Camp - Baking Basics

For kids ages 10-12

 

Drop off your kids for some hands-on learning and fun, then pick them up and enjoy tasting what they made. While we call this camp, Baking Basics, the baked goods they’ll make and bring home are anything but basic. We know the valuable kitchen skills they'll learn here will come in handy for years to come and inspire a new generation of bakers. They'll learn foundational baking recipes like pate a choux, pie crust, and a straight dough yeasted bread. We'll also introduce them to grains and show them how they can mill flour at home!

This year a few of the recipes we'll be making are a savory hand pies, Michigan Wheat bread and then grilled cheese sandwiches, our banana bread with freshly milled grain and the whole banana, peel and all, cream puffs, whipped cream,  and chocolate sauce. If that isn't enough the kids will learn how to make a French baguette and a Cornish Pasty!

If your child has dietary restrictions we'll do our best to accommodate them. We are sometimes able to leave ingredients out but we are not able to make substitutions. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The kids will leave BAKE! camp with our recipes, the knowledge to recreate them at home, all the food they made in class, and great coupons.

 

NOTE: Sessions run Tuesday-Friday each week, EXCEPT for the week of July 17-20, which will run Monday-Thursday.

 

Kids Camp - Early Teen Advanced Baking

For kids ages 13-15

 

Drop off your kids for some hands-on learning and fun, then pick them up and enjoy tasting what they made. This camp, Advanced Baking, is designed for kids who have already taken our Baking Basics Camp or are more experienced in the kitchen (and fall within the appropriate age range).

Students will make a variety of sweet and savory dishes, from strudel to whole grain naan, to authentic pretzels, sandwich cookies, and chocolate chess pie. If that's not enough they'll also make and ice a layer cake, roll soft Bavarian pretzels, and Linzer cookies. We'll cover a wide variety of skills, techniques, and recipes and kids will go home with a bounty of baked goods every day. We'll even be introducing them to whole grains and teaching them how to mill flour at home. Please let us know about any dietary restrictions at sign-up, we are sometimes able to leave ingredients out, though we are not able to make substitutions.

The kids will leave BAKE! camp with our recipes, the knowledge to recreate them at home, all the food they made in class, and some great coupons.

 

NOTE: Sessions run Tuesday-Friday each week, EXCEPT for the week of July 17-20, which will run Monday-Thursday.
