Donut shop party
Young chefs will create their own logo and name for their “Donut Shop” and decorate a COOL donut box for their creations. Kiddos love mixing up their batter and dividing it into our lil donut pans. While the donuts are in the oven, each child will mix up their own chocolate glaze, vanilla glaze (we tint these - they are so fun to mix!). They kids love decorating their donuts with tons of sprinkles - it’s a lot of fun.
It’s super creative and each guest goes home with their special box of 6 donuts to show their family.

SOFT pretzel party
Kids will love to learn how to make a homemade yeasted dough and then rolling out dough into long ropes for shaping into Soft Pretzels. They’ll then learn the classic “baking soda bath” technique which browns the pretzels and gives them their distinct flavor.
Once out of the oven, party guests can decorate their batch of 4 pretzels with a variety of toppings - from sweet to savory.
This party teaches a fun and creative technique and each guest goes home with their special box of soft pretzels to share with their family.
