Summer 2025 Baking Camp at Tal's- week 9 (grades 4+)

Have a young pastry chef in the making at home? This hands-on camp offers some useful baking skills and techniques, with lots of opportunities to get creative. 

This session is all about European baking. From tarts to French macarons, scones and Italian Focaccia, your young baker is sure to learn a lot and have fun! 

Day 1- 

Chocolate Tarts-

• We will mix the dough, roll, cut, shape and bake out tart shells from scratch. 
• We will make scrumptious chocolate ganache 
• We will fill and decorate our tarts 

Day 2- 

French macarons… the fanciest cookie of them all…

• We will learn how to make French Macarons from scratch. These delicate cookies are definitely an advanced baking exercise, but we know our teens can master the challenge! 

Day 3-

Scones and bread prep-

• We will get busy making Tal’s popular Scones from scratch. While scones are baking, we will work on our bread for the next day.  
• We will prepare the dough for our wonderful focaccia bread, by mixing, cracking, and kneading, and learn the secrets of yeast.  Our dough will be handled and baked the next day. 

Day 4- 

Bread adventures-

• We will shape our Focaccia breads and use them as a canvas for an artistic project. 
• We will also play with challah bread dough and create yeasted breads to take home.
