Cooking Class: Sweet Treats for Kids With Chef Erin

Explore sweet kitchen science through cotton candy, marshmallows and chocolate in this kid-friendly cooking class.


The kids will begin by watching sugar transform into fluffy cotton candy, then try pulling it into different shapes while learning how heat changes sugar. Next, they’ll mix marshmallows to create a soft, stretchy slime and discover why it squishes and stretches. The class also features a chocolate demonstration, showing how melting and cooling chocolate affects its texture and shine. Along the way, they'll be able to decorate, touch and taste where safe. Designed to encourage curiosity and creativity, this class helps kids learn by doing, asking questions and enjoying delicious results.


Each child must be accompanied by an adult for the full class, with optional tickets available for adults who wish to participate. Book your spot now!

Really good class! She really knows her stuff! Had it down to a science and really was very supportive and walked us through all the steps. Highly recommend!

This was not at all what we expected. The space was in a bar that was not reserved for the event-- so there were patrons of the brewery drinking among us during class in front of big sports tvs. The setup was poor and seemed unorganized. We didn't have enough ingredients or adequate tools to properly have a cooking class experience. The burners kept going out, and different parts of the dish were complete at different times, so we ate cold food. I brought in multiple guests hoping for a great time-- we left sorely disappointed. A refund would make up for this.

We "cooked" on hot plates that took forever to heat up and there weren't enough for the 6 people in the class. It was supposed to be pasta with cream sauce and shrimp, instead it was just canned tomato sauce with garlic that we heated up on a hot plate. Very disappointing.
