Kids in the Kitchen Week 3
WEEK 3
Our first week cooking School Lunches. I kept everything as simple as possible to kick things off.
Hotdogs and Cupcakes. Hotdogs were simple, bun, hotdog, cheese and sauce. I had mustard too, but only one student wanted it, so I wouldn't bother in the future. The cupcakes were out of a packet (well 3 packets) in the future I hope to be making them from scratch, but with students of different ages and abilities, I wanted to keep it simple.
It was Valentines Day on this first lunch order day so I thought I would let the kids decorate the cupcakes with love hearts. I made 2 boxes of cupcakes earlier in the day so they would be cold, and we made the third box together with the kids and iced them later. I made cheaters fondant which is a great, quick substitute for the real thing and pre-cut a bunch of hearts (1 hour cooking time isn't long and goes by very quick so I try to be prepared) and had little edible balls (cashous) which went everywhere (oops). Anyway they were delicious and gorgeous and there were enough to share with the parents after assembly.
