Escuela de repostería para niños: delicias de San Valentín (flexible)

In this 4 week flexible course we will learn some fun and delicious recipes for Valentine's Day treats including sugar cookies, cupcakes, chocolates, and brownies. These sweets make perfect desserts and gifts.  There will be no live sessions for this course.  You will be able to complete the sessions on your schedule and then post your final products on the Classroom page.  I will post the new recipes, videos, and assignments at the start of each week and request you post your creations before the following week. In each video I will break down the steps for the recipes and demonstrate the entire recipe from start to finish. 

As part of each week's assignment I will extend a challenge to modify the recipe of the week.  You can add additional ingredients, change the form of the item, show a way to decorate, etc.  Then, you can describe the modification, post a picture, or both. Testing the modification is completely optional.  This will be a great way for everyone to share their ideas and be exposed to new flavors and techniques.  I also encourage everyone to create their very own cookbook from the recipe sheets I provide each week. I will provide some ideas but the ultimate design is entirely up to you. It will be great to keep but the cookbook also makes a great Valentine's Day gift for friends and family. I cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with. 

I will be checking in, encouraging you, and providing feedback along the way.  If at any time you have questions you can post them on the Classroom page and I will promptly provide an answer or suggestion.  You can participate in the activities as much or as little as you wish but either way you will learn some great recipes to share with friends and family.
