Virtual Summer Cooking Camps: Perfecting Pastries

Perfecting Pastries Jr.  (Ages 7-9)  | Perfecting Pastries Sr. (Ages 10 – 16)

* Junior programs are tailored for students ages 7 – 9. Senior programs are tailored for students ages 10 – 16.

Objective: To teach our campers advanced pastry skills and knowledge while building their confidence in themselves and their abilities. Upon completing this program, our campers will understand the foundations of pastry preparation and have the skills to feel empowered to execute these recipes independently at home. 

This year we’re raising the bar in this advanced virtual pastry program! Perfecting Pastries is designed to challenge your pastry-chef-in-training to prepare pastry recipes they wouldn’t have otherwise attempted on their own at home. From confectionary to perfectly flaky pie crust, your child will explore all that you can create with butter, sugar, flour and everything in-between! We will delve into the importance of science in successful baking, and we place an emphasis on teaching theory so your pastry-chef-to-be will know all the why’s behind baking thereby ensuring their continued success in the kitchen.

Despite the advanced recipes this pastry program features, we also welcome beginners with parental support to the session. After a week of hands-on practice and learning about pastry theory, they will build confidence in themselves to take on new challenges. Our experienced chefs will be there to guide and support your aspiring pastry chef through learning all the tricks of the trade.
