Contest Giveaway - SPUR BOX (Valentine's Day Family Bonding)

A very Special V day this year. 

Saw a Contest Giveaway on Facebook by Spur Box on 12th of Feb.

And of cos i decided to give it a try since we have not bake as a family before. Was thinking having some family bonding if we won!

And true enough, we were so lucky to be picked up by SPUR BOX.

Hence, on 14th Feb, we headed to SPUR BOX for the POR'S 1st Baking Class.

(Festive Baking Class : Fun with Cream Cupcakes)

Class includes:
1- Storytelling - Pip and the pitcher
2- Baking cupcake, and decorating cupcake
3- Pom Pom chick

Make 3 big chocolate cupcakes in this Easter inspired class and get to learn to pipe nests and grasses using delicious swiss meringue frosting cream. Adorn the nest with candied eggs and little fondant chicks! Get to create a pom pom chick craft.





Since its a Easter baking class, how can we missed out bunnies!!!!!

Ready for Baking

Class start with explanation and demonstration of what is going to be done.

After listening, its their turn. They are very excited about it. Me and Daddy standby to coach them and lend a helping hand in case they need.

And while the cupcakes are baking, SPUR BOX create some art work stuff like making of Pom Pom Chick and also story telling for the kids. This is a great idea. If not my boys will be there keep asking when will the cakes be done.

And this was the deco and cupcake done by my 2 monsters.

They had a great 2 hours of fun there and also requested to join their other classes. 


Benefits of Baking together with kids:

1. Math Skills: Doubling a recipe requires addition (or multiplication) skills, halving it requires division, and recipe fractions like 1/2 cup and 3/4 teaspoon bring math applications into the kitchen. Often, kids don't recognize they are practicing math!

2. Comprehension: Reading and understanding step-by-step directions, adding ingredients in sequence, and techniques such as folding and blending, are all important components to yielding the finished food product. Helping your child fine tune his reading comprehension skills at the same time doesn't hurt!

3. Real Life Science: Cooking is a science experiment. Too much salt, baking powder, not enough flour, or the wrong timing and you're likely to have a flop on your hands. Cooking provides an opportunity for kids to get hands-on experience with basic science.

4. Self-Esteem: Cooking allows kids to get instant feedback, which helps them learn and grow in self-knowledge. Learning a new skill, such as baking or cooking, is known to help grade school children with healthy self-esteem development.

5. Communication: A relaxed atmosphere in the kitchen offers an opportunity to talk, about anything! Parents can take advantage of this, especially with teens, as communication is a key element to raising a well-adjusted, healthy child.

6. Life Skills: Cooking is a life skill, much like driving a car, learning to read, or swimming. As children grow and get closer to adulthood, the job of feeding becomes theirs. Start the cooking lessons at a young age so the transition to adult cook is easy later on.

7. Fun! Last but not least, cooking is fun! Having fun with your child in the kitchen builds positive memories, good vibes, and good food.With all the benefits of teaching kids to cook, and no limits with starting, what are you waiting for? 

We will definitely go back again!
