Afternoon Tea Treats (10-12 year olds)
Course Overview
Whip up something sweet in this fun, hands-on baking workshop all about afternoon tea!
Young bakers will learn how to make three classic treats—chewy muesli slice, chocolate muffins, and sugar biscuits - while picking up essential kitchen skills along the way.
Working in small teams, students will rotate between baking stations, measure and mix ingredients, and take part in setting the table for a proper afternoon tea tasting. It’s the perfect introduction to baking, teamwork, and the joy of sharing something you’ve made.
Ages 10–12 (Parent attendance required, but no participation needed)

About the tutor
Yvette Henderson
Growing up in an Italian household, my family life was all about traditional cooking and making meals from scratch and being together.
My Mamma was an excellent cook and I paid very close attention. I am a keen home cook and regularly bake for fun as well as bake cakes to order.
In addition to teaching adult cooking classes at North Sydney Community Centre, I feel very strongly that children and teens learn the basic skills and knowledge to be able to make nourishing food as well as fun food for themselves and their families and gaining that important kitchen confidence to take them into adult life.
