I was bracing myself for both managing chaos and shenanigans, and also a lot of handholding to get through the recipes, but they organized themselves and are driving the whole process on their own. 😍

If anyone is wondering what a baking workshop is, it's a kitchen full of tools and ingredients, and you get a tablet with a step by step recipe clear enough for a pre-teen to follow. Nobody in this city has space for a real kitchen with oven and everything else needed, so we go to a place like this. Plus, the staff does the dishes. 😁

@Kermode Modern problems require modern solutions. 😊

It feels extremely HK, but the business group HQ and first branch location are in Taiwan, and as of last year and this year they also have one branch location each in Singapore and the US.

@Kermode 2 + 2 + 1 kids made three cakes: A rainbow strawberry cake, a layer jelly raspberry blueberry chiffon cake, and an oreo cream chocolate cake.

@Kermode Around 400 HKD per cake, including one person, and then like 60 HKD for each additional person present. (Divide by 8 for USD figures)

Just getting a cake from the shop is far cheaper than making it yourself, you're paying for the adventure. 😊
