🎨 Workshops

👨‍🍳 Cooking with Chef Christian

Young people will work together to make two different bakes: cupcakes and chocolate-chip cookies. They will learn basic baking skills including weighing and measuring ingredients, mixing, portioning, following a recipe and using kitchen equipment safely.

While the cupcakes are cooling, we will make and colour buttercream icing. Participants can then decorate their cupcakes with Halloween-themed sweets, sprinkles and designs.
