We were invited to try a kids cooking class at Sprouts Cooking Class today. Baking with Barbie was today’s class and we can’t remember a time we’ve had more fun in the kitchen! This class was for ages 3-13 and the kids learned to bake three recipes. The best part was that parents could drop off their children and head out for 2 hours of errands or a nice brunch!
Awesome Venue
I was impressed right away by how bright and clean yet playful the space is. There is a wall along the back with 4 microwaves and 4 ovens which is perfect for some of the larger camp classes or the older kid’s cooking classes. There is plenty of counter space with their large islands that hold a sink at one end and a convection stove top at the other. This class had little tables and chairs set up for the preschoolers while the older girls sat on stools around the island.
Energetic Teachers
Perhaps my favorite part of the kids cooking class was watching the teachers interact with the kids. They did a great job keeping the kids listening, learning, being safe and having fun all while baking! I know that can be a feat with just a couple kids at home! The way they interacted with the girls gave them confidence in continuing to bake at home. As their website states:
At Sprouts Cooking School, our goal is for every child to build a foundation for a lifelong love of cooking, to inspire and empower this generation of foodies, and to encourage families to get into the kitchen and cook with their kids.
Baking with Barbie
My daughter took Baking with Barbie which was a 2 hour Saturday class. There were 13 girls which made for a full kitchen but each girl was able to contribute to the recipes because they were split up in groups of 4. We didn’t need to bring anything along for the class (other than Barbie). With it being a Barbie baking class, sweets were on the menu, so the girls made Fruit Tarts, Cupcakes and Edible ‘Nail Polish’ (marshmallows dipped in white chocolate covered in sanding sugar with a tootsie roll for the top). Other than the dough for the tarts and the icing for the cupcakes, the girls made each part of the recipe.
Check out Sprouts Cooking School’s website for a list of their upcoming kids cooking class. They also have summer camps (which we’re totally checking out because they have a princess themed week!) Keep them in mind for birthday parties and special adult and child date nights. They have one coming up for Mother’s Day that is selling out fast. Sprouts also has tools that the kids use in class as well as aprons for purchase before or after class.
For some of the recipes they teach in class, cook along at home with their YouTube channel. Stay up to date on events by following their Facebook or Instagram pages.
