<span style="font-size: large;">BAKING CAMPS </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">at the home of For Goodness Cakes</span><br />
<br /></div>
Do you have a budding pastry chef in your house? If your child is obsessed with cooking, baking, creating (and making a mess in <i>your</i> kitchen!) send him or her to "Cakestravaganza Camp" for 4 days of fun in The Bakement, home of For Goodness Cakes (a.k.a. The Barksdale Residence in Cotswold neighborhood).<br />
<br />
Each day we will bake something delicious and introduce your child to lifelong skills that can be used to make sweet, edible creations of their own. We will focus on proper measuring, mixing and decorating techniques while allowing for the creative freedom that this age group craves.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Kids will enjoy a fun hands-on experience that may spark a lifelong love of baking! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"> NEW! GLUTEN FREE OPTION FOR CAMPERS: Note the GF request at registration and add $10 per day of camp to payment. All gluten free cakes will be baked ahead for your child to decorate and take home but they will participate in the baking of wheat flour cakes.<br /></span>
<em><u><span style="font-size: 14px;">Class Description</span></u></em><br />
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Each day we will bake something delicious and introduce your child to lifelong skills that can be used to make sweet, edible creations of their own. We will focus on proper measuring, mixing and decorating techniques while allowing for the creative freedom that this age group craves. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<u>DAY 1: <em>FLORAL CUPCAKES</em></u></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Learn how to read recipes, measure ingredients and mix cake batter, and an introduction to pastry bag and piping skills. Kids will decorate and go home with cupcakes iced in colorful buttercream flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<u>DAY 2: <em>CHOCOLATE</em></u></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Learn the basics of working with chocolate. Bake mini chocolate tortes, learn to ice with white chocolate ganache, glaze with warm dark chocolate ganache and adorn them with modelling chocolate roses and leaves. Save room for a decadent dessert on this night!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<u>DAY 3: <em>FONDANT</em></u></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Learn how to color, shape, mold and cut out designs with fondant. Each child will cover a real 6" cake with fondant and decorate it using fondant and edible paint. They will also start to make plans for the big Cupcake Wars competition!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<u>DAY 4:<em> CUPCAKE WARS</em></u></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Just like the hit TV show, kids will team up and create their very own cupcake recipes and designs using the skills they learned at camp. They will even get to decorate a special stand for their cupcakes to be displayed. In celebration, we will have a (homemade!) pizza party and every child will get to taste each team's cupcakes. Their special guests will arrive at the very end to judge cupcakes on best taste, appearance, originality and presentation.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>JUNIOR </em>CAKESTRAVAGANZA CAMP</strong> </span>is for (rising) 1st graders to 4th graders, and is perfect for kids who love to use their hands, be creative and artistic, and have fun in the kitchen with friends. Kids will get to learn about ingredients, the basics of measuring, mixing and baking, and of course lots of beginner decorating skills using both fondant and buttercream. This camp is best suited for kids who have the interest, want to try new things and are able to sit still for long periods. We will introduce your child to the wonderful world of cake in the most delicious and fun ways possible!</h4>

I book up quickly during the wedding season, so it is best to reserve the date on my calendar at least 6 months in advance. Prices start at $5/serving (minimum of $500 for orders placed more than 4 months in advance). Please email or call me for more information and to set up a tasting.

Usually served at the rehearsal dinner or an addition to the bride's wedding cake at the reception, it is most often playfully designed to match the groom's interests. It's a fun way to get the groom involved in wedding planning or it's the perfect surprise for him. Pricing variable - minimum $500 for orders placed more than 4 months in advance.<br />
