Hey everyone! I'm excited to have you in class, and I hope you find some delicious recipes to enjoy over the next few months. Here is a link to all of the recipes you will need for the next few months as we bake together! I've also listed the tools you will need. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SW4KCSj85SgWSjkgqheKVM2H0vzP5FfN2Uj_MUV8ZwI/edit?usp=sharing This course is designed to take students on a culinary journey, teaching them key baking skills they will need. We will explore both savory and sweet baked goods, and students will come away with a knowledge of various kitchen tools and techniques, food safety tips, and an arsenal of recipes. We will also discuss customizations (including for allergies and preferences).. Each week, there will be one or two videos for students to watch, along with recipes. If there are recipes students can't create due to dietary restrictions, missing tools, or missing ingredients, please let me know and I can provide a substitution! The best way to get in touch with me is to send me a message. I aim to respond within 24 hours, although that may be delayed on the weekends occasionally. Each week includes a video (or 2-3) where you can bake along with me. I'll walk you through everything, from gathering and measuring your ingredients, how to use special tools, and what your recipe should be looking like at different stages. Of course, if you have questions I don't answer in the video, feel free to message me and/or send pictures so I can help you out.

Parental Guidance
Dear parents and guardians,
You will be eating a lot of baked goods! Please enjoy!
Many baked goods have common allergens, including wheat, dairy, and soy. If you have food allergies, please let me know so I can recommend some substitutions. I always bake dairy free, and have done gluten free as well, so I know many substitutions you can use!
Students will be using various kitchen tools, including knives, the stove and oven, and other tools. At parents discretion, students may need supervision.
Pre-Requisites
Students should have a basic knowledge of kitchen and food safety. It is recommended that they've completed part 1 of this course.
Supply List
Students will be given a recipe (including instructions, materials needed, and tools needed) two weeks in advance, which should allow enough time to get groceries if needed. Each week, students will need an oven, measuring cups and spoons, a bowl, and a spoon for mixing. Students will also regularly need a mixer (hand-held or stand), various pans (bundt, cupcake, cookie, cake pans, etc.) As always, if there is something you do not have, please let me know and I will offer a substitution.
