The Chopping Block Kids 3-Day Baking and Pastry Camp: Virtual Cooking Class

Looking for a fun and engaging activity for your kids this summer? Join us virtually as we teach your aspiring chefs essential baking and pastry skills in our 3-day camp. During class, your child will have the option to cook along with the chef in real time or if preferred, enjoy the class as an engaging demonstration with the flexibility to prepare the treats in their own time. Either way, your child will gain a full understanding of the techniques. Upon registration, you will receive the recipe packet complete with a very detailed equipment list and class syllabi. If your child will be cooking along, we ask that all ingredients are procured and measured ahead of time to help the flow of the class, and your young chef must be supervised by an adult. Please note it’s possible that not all items will be fully baked by the end of class. Curriculum is designed for ages 8 and up.
