Yes, our instructors are experienced bakers with a passion for teaching and working with children. They're skilled in creating a fun, nurturing environment that encourages learning and creativity while ensuring safety in all their classes.

The duration of our kids' baking classes varies, but most classes are approximately 75 minutes long, providing ample time for hands-on learning and fun. Note that classes may sometimes extend to ensure everyone has completed their bakes.

Parents are encouraged to drop off their children and return for pick-up to create an environment that fosters independence and confidence in young bakers. However, we highly recommend that a parent or guardian be present outside the studio or in our cafe during class if the child is below seven years old.
