Welcome to Sweet Creations Camp, a week-long celebration of baking and decorating where kids will make delicious treats from scratch and transform them into edible works of art. Each day brings a fresh theme and a completely new set of techniques, from classic French pastry to richly layered cakes and custom-decorated cupcakes. Everything is made entirely from scratch using real buttercream, chocolate, and an imaginative range of decorating ingredients.
Session 1: July 27th, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm: Family of Cookies
Start the week with a cookie deep dive! Students will explore three distinct cookie styles: rolled and decorated sugar cookies, piped and colorful spritz cookies, and elegant striped icebox cookies. Each type is finished with royal icing, edible colors, and piping techniques to create beautifully decorated cookie masterpieces.
Session 2: July 28th, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm: A Trip to France
Today, the kitchen becomes a Parisian patisserie. Students will bake light, airy eclairs and cream puffs from scratch, fill them with house-made pastry cream and mousse, and finish them with fruit strips, chocolate drizzles, and elegant glazes. A perfect first introduction to the magic of French baking.
Session 3: July 29th, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm: World of Chocolate
A dream day for anyone who loves chocolate. Students will work with melted chocolate to create silky truffles, hand-piped bonbons, and shiny decorative garnishes, finishing with their own layered entremet dessert. Expect smiles, creativity, and more than a few chocolate-dusted fingertips.
Session 4: July 30th, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm: Cupcakes and Buttercream
Fluffy, scratch-made cupcakes meet rainbow buttercream in a session all about piping, swirling, and decorating. Students will learn multiple frosting techniques and use them to transform their cupcakes into colorful, show-ready edible art.
Session 5: July 31st, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm: Cake Baking and Decorating
The grand finale! Each student will bake, fill, frost, and fully decorate their own layered cake, incorporating buttercream piping, fondant details, and edible decorations to design a creation that is completely their own and spectacular enough to take home and celebrate with.
