Baking a Cake Decorate with Buttercream

The idea for Tiny Bakers came from the realization that children not only love baking,but that baking also stimulates a variety of skills, which are essential in the development of a child – especially during the first couple of years of a child’s life.

Apart from the fact that skills are stimulated, baking is a relaxing activity, and is therefore an excellent activity for the shy or highly strung toddler or child.

The classes take place in a relaxed atmosphere, and special attention is given to a child that is shy or a bit averse to trying out new foods. We had immense success with this as a child will often try out food they don’t usually want to when their friends try it.

I started out with baking classes at branches of the Opti-Baby Schools, which is part of the Optico group. During 2012 our first classes started at the Eldoraigne Branch in Pretoria.
