CAKE DECORATING CELEBRATION CAKE DESIGN
Number of Participants: Up to 20
Days/Times Available: Various
Length of Session: 45 minutes to 1 hour   (4, 6, or 8 module package)
Grades:  K - 12th

Description:                  
Celebration Cake Design offers cake decorating programs for children. Our staff enters wearing baker attire and toting vanilla cream or chocolate fudge cakes. Children work with real baker’s cake decorating tools and a rainbow of multicolored icings. The theme is set with a holiday tale or educational lesson and the excitement builds from there. Children learn and practice decorating techniques, such as stars, leaves and flowers, while their imaginations soar. The cakes are then frosted and the children create a beautifully decorated masterpiece. Proudly, they pack up their scrumptious treat in their own bakery box, eagerly awaiting the chance to share their dessert creation at the family dinner table. Our cake decorating session nurtures the creativity in children, creates a lasting school memory and results in an enormous sense of accomplishment.
