What to Expect:
Have a fun family time out! This hands-on class is designed for pairs: one adult and one child (ages 8+), to bake or cook side by side while learning tips and techniques from our chef instructors.
Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a cozy, hands-on baking experience with family! During this fun-filled two-hour class, each participant will get to make cookies and shortbread to take home, sample their creations, and warm up with a hot beverage!
You’ll start by learning the secrets to perfectly baked cookies, crispy edges, chewy centres, and all the deliciousness in between! Then, dive into a lineup of tasty cookie recipes, from classic favourites to creative new flavours. Along the way, we’ll share plenty of baking tips, decorating tricks, and techniques to help you create cookies that are just as fun to make as they are to eat!
This class is all about creativity, connection, and confidence in the kitchen. Best of all, you’ll head home with two dozen cookies per pair, ready to eat and share.
Ages: Children must be 8+, and adults of all ages are welcome!
Location: The Family Cooking Class will be hosted at The Grove at The Western Fair District, located at 900 King St.
