Flour, Frosting and Friends: A Hands‑On Birthday Baking Lab in Bellaghy
A focused 2.5‑hour session where children aged 8–16 bake, decorate and celebrate together—this guide explains what to expect and how to plan.
Flour, Frosting and Friends: A Hands‑On Birthday Baking Lab in Bellaghy.
In Bellaghy, Bakehouse NI runs a 2.5‑hour children’s baking class designed as a birthday party or group event: children choose from a list of treats to bake, take part in a cupcake‑decorating session (or make a second item instead), enjoy snacks and a light lunch, and leave with everything they’ve made and a special birthday cake option for the guest of honour.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Hands‑On Baking for Budding Bakers
Children spend the session actively preparing and baking the same chosen recipes—options include cookies, muffins, breads, brownies and seasonal treats—so every participant develops practical baking skills in a guided, group setting.
Snacks, Lunch and a Birthday Cake Moment
The class includes welcome drinks (orange or apple juice) and a selection of snacks, a tasty light lunch during the session, and—when booked as a party—a birthday cake provided for the birthday child to decorate and share.
Everything Goes Home
All equipment, ingredients, aprons and printed recipes are provided; each child takes home the items they’ve baked that day and any decorated birthday cake when included.
What the day feels like
What the session feels like
The 2.5‑hour class moves at a lively, child‑centred pace: a short welcome with juice and snacks, a hands‑on baking segment where the group makes the same selected recipe (or two items if they forego cupcake decorating), a creative cupcake‑decorating or birthday‑cake segment, a light lunch, and time to pack up and take home the day’s bakes.
