What's included
1 live meeting
30 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Learners may need additional time after class to finish shaping their last candies. Learners are encouraged to help to clean up their baking space after class.Class Experience
Learners will have fun mixing together a simple candy dough from pre-measured ingredients. After washing our hands, we will then start to form our polar bear shapes. We will have a great time creating faces out of the dough. We will start class with a couple of minutes of introductions, making sure that everyone knows each other's names. We will then check that we have the correct ingredients and equipment, and have clean hands and a clean work surface. We will go through the stages of making the dough, then forming the bears' faces step-by-step. Finally we will poke holes for the eyes and add a mini candy nose. You will end up making around 15 yummy polar bear candies - ideal for sharing with family and friends. The 30 minute class time is sufficient for learners to make the dough and form their first candies. It may be necessary to finish forming the last few candies after class has finished. You will find a full list of ingredients and equipment listed in the welcome post in the classroom once you have enrolled. If you cannot see it, then please message me as soon as possible so I can send it out to you.

Parental Guidance
This recipe is no-bake, learners are mixing and shaping dough; however, it is recommended that a responsible adult is in the same room as the learner (off camera) and ready to step in to help if necessary. Learners will need a 'sharp' item to poke out the holes for their polar bears' eyes, suitable items include toothpicks, cocktail sticks, kebab sticks, knitting needles - please select an item that you are happy for your learner to use. Learners will need adult help prior to class to separate their egg white from their egg yoke and to measure the sugar. Please be aware this recipe contains raw egg white.
