A little flour, a little frosting, and a whole lot of holiday fun! Join Violet’s chef instructors for a one-day baking camp filled with hands-on cooking, cookie decorating, and delicious food.
Each Jr. Baker will make a Classic Pumpkin or Pecan Pie to take home and share. While the pies cool, campers will decorate holiday-themed sugar cookies...think turkeys, pumpkins, maple leaves, and plenty of colorful creativity!
We’ll also gather for lunch featuring Violet’s Caesar Salad, Roasted Chicken, Haricots Verts, Pommes Frites, and Chocolate Mousse.
By pickup time, each camper will head home with their own pie, a festive assortment of cookies, and new baking skills to bring to the holiday table.

Includes chef-led instruction, ingredients, lunch, one take-home pie, and decorated cookies.
