Unleash your inner baker and construct a edible holiday masterpiece from scratch!

Format: 100% Hands-on

Step into the kitchen for an immersive, hands-on day of festive baking and edible engineering! Designed for young bakers aged 7–14, this 5-hour workshop takes children step-by-step through mixing, rolling, cutting, and constructing their very own gingerbread houses. Along the way, they’ll master the art of royal icing piping, create candy-glass details, and bake a delicious lunch to enjoy together around our dining table. Every baker takes home a fully constructed, beautifully boxed gingerbread house ready to display (or devour!). What They’ll Make & Learn: Spiced Gingerbread Dough: Mixing, rolling, and cut-out techniques using architectural templates. Royal Icing Masterclass: Whisking stiff-peak construction icing and using piping bags to decorate. Festive Handcrafted Pizzas: Rolling dough and shaping individual holiday pizzas for a sit-down communal lunch.
