Learning to cook is one of the most valuable life skills of all, and when it’s a class focused on delicious desserts and sweet treats, the fun and joy reach a whole new level!
This Kids & Teens School Holiday Cooking Classes – Desserts and Sweet Treats is a hands-on, confidence-building experience, perfect for children aged 7–16. Hosted by Nellie Kerrison, founder of Relish Mama and a passionate cooking teacher for over 16 years, this class gives kids the opportunity to explore baking and dessert-making using simple techniques, real ingredients, and loads of creativity. Students will be grouped in their appropriate age groups once in class.
We’ll be whipping, mixing, rolling, and filling — and of course, tasting! Each recipe has been chosen to delight young cooks while also teaching practical kitchen skills they’ll carry with them for life.
Whether your child is brand new to cooking or already loves helping out in the kitchen, this class is designed to be inclusive, fun and enriching.
👩🍳 What’s on the menu?
This winter holiday class features four feel-good desserts your child will love to make (and eat!):
-
Chocolate Mousse – A silky and rich mousse. This simple but impressive dessert teaches kids about whisking and folding while showcasing how real chocolate flavour shines through quality ingredients.
-
Nellie’s best chocolate chunk cookies – One of the most loved recipes in Nellie’s classes, with her family and from her cookbooks. Come bake these delicious cookies with us.
-
Cinnamon Scrolls – A total crowd-pleaser! These sweet scrolls will fill the kitchen with beautiful aromas while helping kids learn about working with dough and baking from scratch.
-
Healthier muesli slice – All natural ingredients and delicious in lunch boxes and afternoon teat treat time.
All recipes are nut-free, made from scratch, and can be easily replicated at home with everyday ingredients. Recipe cards will be emailed to families after the class so the cooking fun can continue long after the holiday ends.
