The pizzas were placed in the oven and the kids eagerly watched as they baked to perfection.

Finally, it was time for the most anticipated baking project of the day –cupcake! The kids learned how to mix the batter, pour it into cake tins, and bake it in the oven. They also learned how to make frosting and decorate the cake with icing and sprinkles.

After a full day of baking, the kids were thrilled to take home their creations and show off their new baking skills to their friends and family. Many of the kids expressed their excitement to continue baking at home and experiment with new recipes.
