After running 3 successful taster baking classes at the lovely Get Cooking school we’ve decided to hold a family baking class this summer holidays.
I love getting children involved in baking. It’s great to be familiar with a kitchen from an early age and to have some knowledge of where food comes from and what you can do with ingredients. I learned to bake with my older sister and so want to inspire other families to bake together. It was so lovely to have some family involvement in the first 3 classes we decided to hold a child friendly baking class where kids can learn to cook alongisde mum, dad, brothers,sisters, aunties uncles or grandma’s & grandads!
The first Family Baking class will be held on Thursday 11th August and runs from 10 -1pm with lunch included I’m inviting. Families can come and have fun baking together, getting our kitchen messy instead of yours!
Cakes you can bake:- Banana & walnut- a deliciously moist loaf banana cake with a vanilla, cream cheese frosting filled with plump raisins & walnuts. It won lots of praise when served at Farsley Festival even with people who thought they didn’t like banana cake!
- Banana & Chocolate- similar cake but for chocoholics we substitute the walnuts for chocolate chips & add extra chocolateyness ( raisins can be left out too)
- Rhubarb & Strawberry- beautifully moist cake bursting with seasonal fruit. A great way to get one of your 5 a day!
We will also sit down to lunch together from design it yourself sandwiches. You and the kids get to choose how you want to fill your own rolls using a range of gourmet & kid friendly fillings. We’ll also have a range of teas from our vintage china and home made cordials and of course, cake! You then leave with your cake to take home.
Booking your place:
A family ticket costs £75 for up to 3 people ( must include 1 adult). You can bring extra family members along too and just pay for lunch for them.
Book your tickets from www.get-cooking.org.uk
I look forward to baking with you soon. I’ll be running another Bake the Seasons class in early Autumn too.
If you can’t make 11th August but would like to organise your own family baking session with friends or maybe for a children’s birthday party get in touch with me or Emily at Get Cooking
