Everyone is encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early, quick sign-in, handwashing + hygiene, hair tied back, benches set, closed shoes check.

9:00–9:20 — Mini Demo: Baking Foundations 

(the “boring but important stuff” — made fun)

• Measuring properly (scales > guessing)

• Oven safety + how to know when things are done

• Texture goals: fudgy / chewy / crisp / delicate

Fudgy, gooey, and triple the chocolatey goodness.
Skills: lining tins, melting chocolate safely, mixing without overworking, doneness testing.

10:30–10:50 — Morning Tea (they eat what they made)

Brownie taste test + “what makes it fudgy?” chat.

Fruit & vegies plater

Milk or water

10:50–12:20 — Cook #2: Butterboy Style Cookies

Crisp edges, soft centers — utter cookie bliss.
Skills: creaming butter/sugar, portioning evenly, tray spacing, baking in batches (timing like a real kitchen).

Plus a simple savoury lunch break component (so we don’t crash):
A quick toastie / salad / savoury option prepared and eaten together (depends on what you want to run in your kitchen that day).

12:20–12:45 — Sit-down Lunch Together

Eat, reset, hydrate, tidy cycle begins (clean bench champions ?).
