Children’s Parties

Baking pArties. Cupcake parties. pasta parties.

Do you ever wish that your child knew more about food - how to cook, and what ingredients are used?

The way we live today, children often don’t learn how to cook. Many just think of food as something that comes from the supermarket and lands on their plate via an oven or microwave.

So what better way of learning than baking something from scratch - by themselves? And even better, then taking it home for everyone else to enjoy! Imagine the sense of achievement this gives them.

This is just what children do at Speckled Hen Baking Parties – they’re really something different!

We provide all ingredients , a box to transport baked items , a party hat and a party lunch or tea .

Prices are £22 per child with a minimum of 10 children and a maximum of 12 children. The basic cost is £230 for 10 children or less. The cost of the venue is charged separately .

Venues can be arranged by us or you are free to choose your own .We use Terra Nova School , Goostrey Village Hall and now Nether Alderley Village Hall . Please ask when booking , we cover Alderley Edge Wilmslow , Macclesfield , Congleton , Holmes Chapel , Goostrey and beyond.

Here’s what the party involves –

• On arrival, the children are taken to their special party room where they decorate a hat to wear in the kitchen.

• Every child in the group makes and bakes their own biscuits, cakes or pasta .

• Everything is baked from scratch – no kits or pre-mixes. They get to see what the raw ingredients look like, and they learn how food is made.

• We go at a controlled pace, giving everyone time to catch up. We work as a group, so no-one feels left out.

• We explain what each stage is all about, so they learn something about food preparation.

• While the cakes or biscuits are baking, the children return to the party room to decorate a cake box to take everything home in. They also have their lunch or tea.

• All ingredients are provided.

• Allergies are catered for by prior arrangement.
