Does your teenager love to cook but has no where to learn basic baking skills?
By request of many parents and teachers we have developed our first baking series designed specifically for teenagers.
We are holding them on Saturdays in January and February and none of the classes relies on the other so your child/student can choose whatever class or classes interest her/him.
Linda Lorkowski, owner of Linda’s Kitchen and former middle school teacher, will conduct these classes with the assistance of her decorators.
Class I – Basics of Baking – Learn about the correct equipment and ingredients used to produce beautiful, delicious pastry. Not only will they leave with basic knowledge of baking but they will put this knowledge to use as the class makes chocolate chip cookies and takes them home along with the recipe.
Class II – All about pies – How to make a good pie crust for fruit pies and the crumb or crust topping. How to make a crust for custard pie, and how to make the custard. The student will leave with a fruit pie to take home and recipes.
Class III – All about cakes – The students will learn about the precise mixing, measuring and beating of cakes to produce a moist, tender, delicious cake made from scratch.
They will learn the differences between “scratch” cakes and “box” cakes. They will learn how to bake it and pop it out of the pan. They will each leave with a small cake to take home.
Class IV – Beginning cake decorating. Our decorators will teach the different ways to ice a cake. The teens will have fun learning some of the decorating techniques used for cakes. If they enjoy this class, and want to learn the technical aspects of cake decorating it is suggested they sign up for our cake decorating classes.
Class V – Fun with cut out cookies – Why not have your teen learn our technique of rolling out and decorating sugar cookies. They will learn the proper way to roll out dough, how to ice with a decorating bag, how to mix colors for icing, and different decorations they can use to finish their cookies. They will leave with a dozen iced cookies and the recipe.
Minimum of 4 people to hold the class with a maximum of 10 people
Note: When signed up for any of our classes, you receive 20% off cake decorating and bakeware supplies, and pastry during the duration of the class.
