Cooking Classes for Kids in Baton Rouge: Mini Holiday Workshops at Louisiana Culinary Institute
The holidays are all about family, friends, fun, and of course food. Louisiana Culinary Institute is offering mini workshops that allow you to combine all four, and there are options available for children of all ages. These workshops will feature all sorts of holiday inspired cookies, cakes, breads, and other delicious treats. Each course is designed for different ages, has varying times throughout the day, and all proceeds will benefit the LCI Foundation. Due to current COVID-19 related mandates, participants will be spread out and must wear a mask upon entry to campus. Parents and guardians cannot be in the room, but may stand outside and watch your child work through several windows (except the Night Before Christmas workshop). Class size limitations range from 10 to 12 children. An adult “helper” will be seated at each table. Let’s take a closer look at each available workshop.
Night Before Christmas
Perfect for the younger ones, ages 3-7, the Night Before Christmas workshop will have kids mix, decorate, and bake their cookies for Santa Claus. Reindeer food and a hot chocolate packet are also included. For this course, one parent or guardian will be allowed to accompany and help your child. The little ones will be sure to enjoy a chef’s hat and apron.
Gnome for the Holidays
Cupcakes, buttercream icing, and a festive holiday gnome design will put your 5-9 year old in the spirit. Wear closed toe shoes, and enjoy your LCI apron and hat.
Santa’s Sleigh
Designed for children aged 7-12, Santa’s Sleigh will teach kids to make and bake their own holiday cookies. From creating buttercream icing to 3-D holiday decoration scenes, these fun and festive treats can be brought home. Closed toe shoes are required, and each child will receive an LCI apron and hat.
Seasoning’s Greetings
This holiday mini workshop will feature the savory and the sweet. Seasoning’s Greetings will teach the students, ages 9-15, how to make a peppermint truffle candy and how to use modeling chocolate to create a reindeer, as well as a savory strudel. Each participant will receive an apron and a hat upon arrival. Closed toe shoes are required.
