Jett's Cooking Camp: Baking 101

Jett attended Baking Camp at Harmon's in June and LOVED it! The camp actually is for ages 10 and up, but Freika, the chef, gave Jett special permission to attend. She absolutely loves Jett and has a lot of confidence in him.

They learned three different recipes every day, which meant I ate three different treats each day. He came home with all his bakes every day and it was amazing. He learned cookies, pies, brownies, cinnamon rolls, bread sticks, etc. My favorite was the strawberry shortcake. It was soooo incredible! The shortcake was a shortbread scone topped with fresh whipped cream and fresh strawberries on top. Seriously one of the best desserts I've ever had.

When I went to pick him up on day 2, Freika pulled me aside, and instantly I thought she was going to tell me something bad. She said in her thick, Peruvian accent, "Your son is so so so well behaved. He is so focused, and shares so well with his classmates, always taking turns. He is so nice and follows directions. I just want you to know you have such a good boy." Seriously?! Man, I love that kid!

At the end of the week, they got to keep their nice, quality aprons, got a binder of all the recipes, received a measuring spoon and cup set, and a set of knives. They also got a surprise visit from the owner of Harmons and he got to taste their bakes and talk to them a little bit. It was such a great experience for Jett and taught him so much more about baking and working as a team.
