About This Activity
Welcome to Baking Camp! During this week, our mornings will be filled with creating some of your favorite treats and breads, and some you've possibly never tried before. We'll make classic treats like lemon squares, chocolate cream pie, and whoopie pies, and we will make more challenging bakes like pain au chocolate and cream puffs. We'll learn the science behind why egg whites whip into a fluffy cloud, why cream can whip into a frothy pillow, the different ways to make breads rise, and why salt and chocolate taste so good together. We will spend the second part of the day playing games and splashing in water. There is a $10 fee attached to this camp for consumable supplies.
