Learners will have a fun experience creating two different desserts in one class time. Dessert baking with Mike will feature a frozen lemon icebox pie, which is a no oven pie, as it sits in the freezer afterwards to harden before serving and also creating a wonderful Apple dump cake. Both of these are quick, fun, easy recipes where substitutions can be made for some of the ingredients to make it healthier. That information will be able to be found in the packet that will be sent to all learners prior to the class. Measuring skills and organizational preparation skills will be taught so that we can each create both desserts in that one block of time. As always, the class will feature fun and laughter while also making sure of safety in the kitchen. This is a perfect class for any level baker and person who enjoys being in the kitchen and it’s also a fun class for learners to organize three or four friends or relatives in different parts of their neighborhood or the country to join them.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parent guidance and information. For your preparation and safety needs please note that the following items will be used in the kitchen: freezer, possibly a can opener, oven, 9 x 13“ baking dish, one Ziploc bag, microwave.
For any food item allergies, here is a list of the ingredients for both recipes. 9 inch graham cracker crust, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, lemons and lemon zest, optional 8 ounce Cool Whip in place of one of the condensed milks, Apple pie filling, optional cinnamon or apple pie spice, one box yellow or butter cake mix, pecans which are optional, 3/4 of a cup butter which can be modified if you use a healthy item instead.
Supply List
A packet will be sent to each individual upon registration for the class containing all the information for both items we will be creating including ingredients and kitchen utensils that are needed. It would be extremely helpful if the utensils in the kitchen and the food items we’re all organized prior to the beginning of the class. Some items may require a can opener, so parent support is always appreciated, and a zester would be helpful if you have one. Please read the packet prior to the class. Thank you very much.

There is nothing more exciting than when you see a student think deeply, question ideas, share a new thought, or explore character’s actions/ decisions or a quote or a purpose the author had when writing a novel and then connect the information to learner’s own story in life. Helping students reach their full potential, and beyond, in a setting that is safe, exciting, creative and funny is what teaching is all about to me. The climate has to be one that is free from bullying, pressure, and negative interactions and, instead, is one that students can’t wait to get to as they know the time in that class will be rewarding, creative, stimulating, and allow them to be who they really are and share what they want to share. There is nothing more exciting, as a teacher, then when that light bulb illuminates and a student feels confident to share and take an idea, quote, author’s purpose or decision from a book and see how it can affect real life or when a learner sees their full potential, in the written word they create.
We can make literature, come alive in a really fun, fast-paced active discussion filled atmosphere.
My background professionally is having taught third grade, fifth grade, and Sixth grade language arts for 33 years with a background in psychology, elementary education, school administration and an extensive background in overnight camping.My favorite teaching topics include writing poetry, creative and nonfiction writing, and reading/sharing outstanding literature with discussions that bring critical thinking skills and life lessons to the students. I am excited to bring this teaching to an environment that is bully free with motivated students in a small group setting.I always look forward to reading my students work as I see such brilliance in people of this age.
I can be found in the upstate NY, most often being out on the lake in my boat from spring to fall (I love being on water!), playing guitar and singing, collecting Pez, reading , cooking and baking, volunteering in the community as often as I can to make things better for others, and spending lots of time with Derby, the wonder dog, my amazingly bright and talented rescue dog who undoubtably will make visits into the virtual classroom. I also enjoy bike riding, yoga, and meditation. Most importantly, I place great emphasis on finding ways, small and big ways, that will allow my students and myself to make our mark in this world and make it a better place for others. The small ways are most often the best ways and I believe students are brilliant people who can absolutely change the world.Reviews
