Kids’ Cooking Parties

 Kids’ Cooking Parties in Tim’s Kitchen

At a Wakeman Town Farm cooking party, kids aged 6+ learn real-world cooking techniques with chef instructors while having a blast. We incorporate fresh and seasonal ingredients whenever possible, and our party guests learn valuable lifelong kitchen skills and healthy eating habits.

We encourage our Jr. Chefs party participants to explore their imagination and creativity while learning basic cooking skills with recipes that kids love.  Simply choose a theme from our child-friendly menus (below), and our seasoned instructors will guide the participants through the cooking process and tailor the challenge level to the age group of participants. All recipes are nut-free. However, please note: Tim’s Kitchen is a shared culinary space and cannot claim to be free of allergens. 

All culinary birthday parties are 1.5 hours and feature two private instructors, exclusive use of the Farm kitchen, all food, ingredients, and materials, plus set-up and clean-up. Children will begin the party by decorating their very own take-home chef hat.  The birthday boy/girl receives his/her own take-home apron.

Party with Up to 10 Children | Two Recipes              $650
Additional Party Guests (per guest)                          $  65

Cupcake Wars Tween Party 

Frosting, sprinkles, and cupcakes galore. If you have a child who loves to bake or enjoys watching cooking shows, I am sure they would love this tween birthday party theme!

Cupcake Wars is a fabulous and fun competition between teams to see who can make the best cupcakes.  Scoring is given based on taste, creativity, and group presentation. Cupcakes will be judged on how delicious they are from top to bottom.  The judges will determine unique creative skills, individuality, and the overall idea/intent of a presentation platter.  This party works in teams and offers multiple toppings and cupcake flavors.

All culinary birthday parties are 1.5 hours and feature two private instructors, exclusive kitchen use, all food, ingredients, and materials, and set-up and clean-up. Children will begin the party by decorating their very own take-home chef hat.  Birthday boy/girl receives his/her own take-home apron.
