Are you looking for a unique activity to keep the kids entertained at your child’s next birthday party? Look no further. Our culinary activities are popular with girls and boys from age 5! We would love to create an unforgettable party for your child. We will keep the kids busy with a fun and interactive culinary activity so that you can enjoy your child’s party too! We offer mobile culinary services, so we come to you! We will bring everything needed for the culinary activity – from the ingredients, to the equipment, aprons and chef’s hats. All you need to provide is a covered space like a patio where the activity can take place.
We offer mobile culinary services, so we come to you! We’ve travelled as far as Hartbeespoort Dam in the West, to Benoni in the East, Vanderbijl in the South and Silverton in the North. Just let us know when and where! We will bring everything required for the activity.
During the activity each recipe will be demonstrated to the children step-by-step and each child takes part in making the items from start to finish. All the attendees will take part in the activity actively, i.e. they will measure, mix, pour, decorate, etc. Each recipe will be demonstrated to the children step- by-step before they will make/decorate the items. During the activity the children will learn about basic cooking methods, accurate measuring (both with measuring cups and electronic scales), how to work with royal icing, buttercream icing, etc. We have two baking options.
Kids get to take the fruit of their labour home and tell Mom and Dad: “I made it myself!” Most of them eat it right away though! During the activity the kids will learn about basic cooking methods, accurate measuring, a variety of ingredients and recipes. Please visit our Facebook page for photo’s of parties we’ve done over the past 12 years.
