Parent and Youth Festive Baking Challenge: Create and Celebrate

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind Festive Baking Challenge, where parents and youth team up to create mouth-watering, holiday-themed desserts—with a fun, creative twist! This isn’t your typical baking class. Not only will you bake delicious, classic treats, but you’ll also be tasked with decorating and presenting them in the most inventive, eye-catching ways.

From frosted cookies that sparkle to secret-ingredient surprises, this challenge is designed to bring out your competitive spirit while making sweet memories with your child. Whether you’re an experienced baker or a total beginner, this interactive, high-energy class offers something for everyone, making it the perfect way to celebrate the festive season together.

1. Creative Cookie Decorating: Each team will design and decorate holiday cookies with a unique theme. Think "Winter Wonderland," "Candy Cane Lane," or "Snowman Parade!" Let your imagination run wild as you use colorful icing, sprinkles, and fun toppings to bring your cookies to life.
2. Mystery Ingredient Bake-Off: Can you turn an ordinary cookie or cupcake into something extraordinary? We’ll provide each team with a mystery ingredient (like peppermint, marshmallow, or ginger) that must be incorporated into your creation. The challenge is to blend the surprise ingredient into a delicious holiday treat—how creative can you get.

• All Ingredients and Materials Provided: You don’t need to bring anything but your holiday cheer! We provide everything you’ll need, from baking tools and ingredients to decorations.
• Festive Packaging Station: After the fun of baking and decorating, you’ll get to wrap your creations in festive packaging—perfect for holiday gifting!
• Prizes for All Participants: No one leaves empty-handed! Fun, festive prizes will be awarded for various categories such as “Most Creative Design,” and “Best Use of Mystery Ingredient”
