Chocolate Lava Cake class

Caitie went a cooking class with Mini Pinnies today. Their first dish to make was a chocolate lava cake. I've misplaced the recipe Caitie was given, so bear with me.

Caitie had to work with three other kids at her station, and their first task was to break up the chocolate.





The chocolate was then melted with the necessary butter by an adult. The kids were given the rest of the ingredients to mix. I felt it was a bit of a shame that the kids didn't get to do any measuring or weighing or anything. Caitie's a bit past the stage where sharing the task of stirring the mix with three other kids is a challenge or a learning experience.

After the mixture was ready, the kids each greased a ramekin.





Then one of the other girls portioned out the mix between the four ramekins.



One of the adults popped them in the oven, and then the kids got to enjoy them with some cream.





I think Caitie was a bit bored with this class, but she enjoyed eating the results!
