A four week, flexible schedule, baking course full of Halloween fun. From baking scrumptious spider cookies to stuffing and carving spooky peppers, we'll cook tasty recipes for all of your family to enjoy. These Halloween treats are simplified and adapted with Little Bakers in mind. Grown-ups may need to help some less confident learners with measuring ingredients and cooking steps, but the Little Bakers should be able to follow the videos independently and be fully hands-on making their treats. Each recipe should take 30 - 45 minutes of preparation/decorating time. Weeks 2 , 3 and 4 will need some cooking time and week 4 will also need some additional time for the cookie dough to chill between steps. This is a flexible schedule class, there are no live lessons. Students can complete the lessons in their own time over each week. If learners enrol late, they will still have full access to the classroom and can therefore catch up. Learners will be provided each week with: * 1 week before - An ingredient and kitchen equipment list * Monday - A recipe card * Monday - Video that breaks the recipe down step by step * Wednesday - Additional weekly activity * Friday - Recipe evaluation prompts * Ongoing - The opportunity to message the teacher if they require any extra assistance (please allow 24 hours for a response as the course is flexibly scheduled) Flexible classes have interaction built in. The learners and the teacher can correspond using the Outschool classroom and will: * Post photos of their finished creations * Taste test their food and comment by text or video * Comment on the photos, posts and videos of others * Share their finished activity sheets * Ask and answer questions Week 1 - Ghostly Halloween Candy (recipe) and Spooky Spot the Difference (activity) Week 2 - Scrumptious Spider Cookies and Spider Puzzle (activity) Week 3 - Spooky Stuffed Peppers (recipe) and Design a Pumpkin Face (activity) Week 4 - Chocolate Bat Cookies (recipe) and Make a Hanging Spider Decoration (activity) Class video, recipe and discussion points will be posted by 12pm UK time (GMT/BST). If you enroll late as the only learner, then please allow 24 hours for the first activities to be uploaded.

Parental Guidance
When you enrol in this class, you accept full responsibility for your learner's safety. It is essential that a responsible adult is in the same room as the learner and ready to step in to help if necessary.
Although I will discuss using equipment safely in the class videos, please ensure your learner is familiar with your own kitchen equipment (how to turn it on, turn it off, increase or decrease the temperature, or speed up or slow mixing). Learners will be using knives to chop, mixers to stir or whisk, the hob to melt or cook ingredients, as well as the oven (adult supervision will be needed when using hot equipment).
Please ensure your learner is wearing short sleeves, or close fitting long sleeves that will not get caught on equipment, has long hair tied back and I recommend wearing an apron or clothes that can be washed easily.
Please ensure you check all your ingredients for possible allergens.
Supply List
Ingredient and equipment lists for each week will be posted in the classroom a week before they are needed. A new recipe sheet will also be shared at the start of each week, you may print this if you wish, or just follow along with the steps in the video.
