My love bug and I have been reading Walter the
Baker and she just loves it. She's so fascinated with the idea that the
"sun shines through [a pretzel] three times". Every time we finished
reading the book, she would tell me she wanted to bake pretzels too, just like
Walter the Baker.

So imagine her delight when I took her to Brotzeit
Shangri-la last May 4 to be a Junior Chef! She was a bit shy at first but after
sometime she started to warm up and feel comfortable.

After a little introduction and welcome remarks of
Ms. Malou Gonzalez, Brotzeit's PR and Marketing Manager, the Junior Chefs met
Chef Ivan. Then the ultimate fun began!
 |
| "Wash your hands first!" |
 |
| Putting all the ingredients into the bowl |
 |
| "Make sure your work area is clean." |
 |
| Getting hands sticky and messy |
 |
| "Thank you for the help, Chef." |
 |
| Fold and push |
 |
"Look at my dough, Mom!"
 |
| Cut then roll |
|
 |
| "Aaahhh!" |
 |
| Twist |
 |
| Twist |
 |
| Fold |
 |
| Yay! A pretzel! |

After sometime, the pretzels were ready to be baked in the oven. While waiting, the Junior Chefs prepared refreshing coolers for themselves.

While the Junior Chefs received special gifts from Toy Kingdom, the mommies got their treat, the Cusina Dishwashing Liquid gift set from Cusina Home.

Yay! The pretzels are done! My love bug just loved it!
 |
| "Mommy, look!" |
 |
| "Yummy!" |
Finally, the Junior Chefs got their certificate from Brotzeit Philippines. Looking at their faces, I could say that they're really proud of themselves. :)
 |
So proud of my love bug :)
 |
Hooray for our Junior Chefs!
 |
| Thank you so much, Chef Ivan! |
Before we went home, Ms. Malou served us Brotzeit's famous and scrumptious fladen. Yummy indeed!
 |
| Fladen Bayrische/Bavarian Pizza |
 |
| Fladen Spinat/Spinach Pizza |
It was indeed a fun-filled learning experience for my love bug. She enjoyed it as much as I did. I believe the other kids and moms had fun as well. Thank you so much, Mommy Bloggers Philippines, Brotzeit Ph, Cusina Home and Toy Kingdom.

Oh this is nice! :) Good intro for kids who could be chefs someday!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good activity for the kids especially during vacation, so we can take them away from "digital world"
ReplyDeleteSuch a great way to help kids learn the love for baking at an early age. Looks like she had loads of fun!

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun workshop for the little ones! I can see that your daughter really enjoyed it! -- Maria Teresa Figuerres
ReplyDeleteI could imagine her happiness when she learned of the pretzel baking class. So happy for her, too.
ReplyDeleteHi classmate! :) We were beside you and your little bug that time. We sure had fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This is such a fun event specially for the girls! When I was a kid I used to play lut-lutuan. But now, children get to experience real cooking and baking through this workshops! :)
ReplyDeleteAw!! nice!!! I bet she enjoyed this one! I wish my son could also experience this when he grows up! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great way to tech kids how to bake na! I do hope meron din neto nung kabataan ko kasi natuto na kong magbake during may 30's! Kaloka!
ReplyDeleteMany parents are put off doing baking or cooking at home with their little ones because of the mess – which is why moms love to come along to this kind of classes where we can just leave the mess behind for us to clear up! Thanks for reminding us of why it’s so important for us to get our little ones involved in such activities from an early age!
ReplyDeleteFor someone who always want to bake pretzels, this activity is a blast!
ReplyDeleteat mukhang hindi lang ang bagets ang nag enjoy, pati din si mommy :)
