3-Day Kids Cake Camp (Ages 8-12)
Our Fig & Bloom 3-Day Kids Cake Camp, is a hands on learning experience where your child will acquire essential baking and decorating skills in a fun and supportive environment. They will learn the art of baking and decorating their very own celebration cake. In this three day course we will cover everything from the introduction of baking and ingredients to the creative process of sketching a design and finally what it takes to bring that design to life. This camp provides an opportunity for your child to develop patience, attention to detail, and problem solving skills - all valuable traits that extend beyond the kitchen. Our intention is to have as much fun as possible all while achieving a sense of accomplishment, pride and boosting your child’s confidence as they see their creations come to life, fostering a love for the culinary arts. Each student will leave with their very own confection masterpiece and a pastry certificate graduating from their cake decorating course.
