This simple but impressive dessert teaches kids about whisking and folding while showcasing how real chocolate flavour shines through quality ingredients.Baby Lemon Shortcakes – Buttery, crumbly, and bright with citrus — these sweet little biscuits are fun to make and even better to sandwich together with a touch of jam or lemon cream.Cinnamon Scrolls – A total crowd-pleaser! These sweet scrolls will fill the kitchen with beautiful aromas while helping kids learn about working with dough and baking from scratch.No-Bake Apple Crumble Cups – A cosy favourite, served in cute individual portions with layers of spiced apple and crunchy oat crumble. No oven required, just clever prep and layering.All recipes are nut-free, made from scratch, and can be easily replicated at home with everyday ingredients. Recipe cards will be emailed to families after the class so the cooking fun can continue long after the holiday ends.Class Details & Important Notes for Kids School Holiday Cooking Classes - Desserts and Sweet TreatsThis is a hands-on cooking class with a maximum of 10 children to ensure plenty of individual attention and a calm, enjoyable environment.The class is designed for children aged 6–12 years.
