Party Themes

Pizza Pros
$200 base, 1 ½ hour party
Who doesn't love pizza?! At this party, kids have plenty of crust-shaping, sauce-spreading, cheese-sprinkling fun! Our birthday instructor will guide the group in creating individual pizzas, constructing fruit kabobs, and eating veggies. After wards, decorate cup cakes. This is a classic party that never goes out of style! Children ages 8 and up can make the pizza dough themselves. Pizza toppings for the group may be added for an additional charge.

Breakfast in Your PJs

$225 base, 1 ½ hour party
We have something to get the kids out of bed in the morning: making breakfast with their friends at Whole Foods Market! During this party, we will prepare banana pancakes, cereal mix, and yogurt parfaits. All partygoers get to decorate a cupcake. Bring this party to the next level by encouraging attendees to show up in their pajamas!

Food Arts:

$225 base, 1 ½ hour party

We treat food preparation as an art project and create edible art, such as veggie "floral" arrangements, "porcupine" made of vegetables mini skewers, etc. For our main course we cook foods in many colors and shapes including veggie-based sauce. Than we treat our plates as "canvas", arranging the foods and sauces artistically on it. You'll be amazed how much veggies kids consume this way! If you want to add an art project to this class, we do spice "sand art". If you want to add cupcakes we decorate them...This class is limited to 10 kids 

Fiesta Feast

$225 base, 1 ½ hour party
Say "Ole!" to this Fiesta-themed get-together! Kids will make cheese quesadillas with beans or chicken, guacamole served with chips, and Spanish-style rice. We suggest ice cream as the dessert to be served with cinnamon-sugar pita chips and decorated!

Pasta Party

$225 base, 1 ½ hour party
Pasta making is simple once you learn the basics. Kids make their own pasta dough, roll it out, and then use our pasta cutter to form the linguine strings or bow tie.  Our birthday instructor helps kids learn basic cooking skills while making their own marinara sauce, fresh salad, and decorate cup cupcakes. Beside the standard drink options, you can also choose to have sparkling Italian soda! When the pasta is all gone, have fun decorating a dessert of your choice.
