Over the holidays we enrolled the kids into a holiday baking class at a local cooking school- The London Chef. It is an amazing cooking studio to take cooking classes at…something I will look into for myself 🙂

Jimmy was very sick with the flu so it was a solo parent adventure with our terrific twins. Claire & Rhys bake with me weekly so they are not new to the kitchen. When we arrived all the kids sat at a long table and did some crafts, then they rolled out gingerbread cookie dough and used cookie cutters in Christmas shapes. While those were baking they made candy cane chocolate bark which was fun. All the kids were asked to take turns breaking the candy canes into small pieces with a large rolling pin. Rhys was the star of the show when he hit the candy cane bag repeatedly & would not hand the rolling pin onto the next kid 😉

The kids made peppermint hot chocolate as well. While drinking the hot coco the gingerbread cookies cooled down and as the grand finale they decorated the gingerbread cookies with icing and lots of different types of candy. It was so much fun for me to watch Claire & Rhys enjoy themselves and they had a hoot! We will definitely do this again…maybe an Easter class next.
