Baking Camp: Cakes & Cupcakes (Grades 6-8)

We're bringing back our College for Kids Baking Camps this summer where rising 6th-8th grade students will get the chance to learn the foundational techniques of baking in the professional kitchens of Ivy Tech's Hospitality Program! In Cakes & Cupcakes, we'll be making a variety of snack cakes, layered cakes, and cupcakes, ending the week with an impressively decorated cake to take home and share. This camp is for rising 6th-8th graders.

NOTE: This camp is not eligible for Ivy Tech Employee Fee Remission due to limited capacity.

SUPPLIES: All supplies are included. Students will receive copies of the recipes, as well as any remaining food to take home. We will communicate ahead of time any container requirements for transporting bakes home.
