Today was Sweet-tooth Wednesday for all of our baking students.  Cookies, cakes, mac & cheese, ice cream, cinnamon rolls, and yes, a salad, paved the way for these teens and tweens ruling the kitchen.  After a game of musical recipes with the teens, a recipe reading exercise, they just kept churning out great treats!  And we had to all but restrain the morning group of jr. cooks from licking the fudge frosting off the table!  A crazy day, but also a totally awesome one.  Thanks for sharing your kids with us this week. :)

Whip that cream!!

What a fantastic group of young cooks we have this week!  They’re polite, talented, considerate, and oh yeah, they can whip up cream puffs and chicken potpie like they were born to do it.  You’re going to love these pics:

We thought we’d take it easy the first day and test out the teens and tweens mad baking skills with pizza, cupcakes, and a bit of brioche dough to use later in the week for cinnamon rolls.  THIS is going to be an excellent week!

What do you have there Mollie? :)

On Thursday the teens were responsible for bringing in recipes to pitch to their groups, using the secret ingredient: The chicken or the egg.  But you can’t just plan, so we whipped up a basic yeast dough and made pizza too – BBQ Chicken and Taco pizza to be exact. As always, they did a great job, and I’m excited to see what they come up with on Friday. Woo hoo!

Moving the dough from the table to the tray. Great job!
