Bring your 10–12 year old to a lively baking workshop in North Sydney where they’ll learn to create classic afternoon tea treats. This session is designed to be fun, confidence-building and practical, introducing kids to kitchen safety and basic baking techniques while they make delicious snacks to share.
Expect a warm, hands-on baking workshop atmosphere where children work in small teams and rotate through stations. The session focuses on practical skills like measuring, mixing and oven safety, delivered in a way that appeals to curious young cooks and reassures parents about supervision and hygiene.
You’ll see kids learning three classic recipes — chewy muesli slice, chocolate muffins and sugar biscuits — and then setting a proper afternoon tea to taste their creations. Baking workshop keywords like "afternoon tea" and "kids baking" are woven into the activities to help children connect cooking with everyday life and family traditions.
The instructor-led program balances instruction with playful teamwork, and there’s time for reflection after the tasting so children can talk about what they learned. This is ideal for parents wanting a practical, supervised activity that builds skills and confidence.
The workshop runs as a single session where students rotate between baking stations and learn kitchen safety, hygiene basics and simple recipes. Each participant helps prepare, bake and present treats, practising measurement and mixing techniques suitable for young bakers.
Children will take home a sample of each treat, printed recipe sheets for all three items and a Mini Afternoon Tea Baker certificate, making this a lasting memento and a way to continue baking at home. The class encourages cooperation, patience and a sense of achievement.
What to bring is simple and practical: an apron, a lidded container to take food home, and a curious appetite to learn. The session is suitable for ages 10 to 12 and parents are welcome to stay if they prefer, giving caretakers flexibility.
The workshop is held at North Sydney Community Centre, 220 Miller Street, North Sydney 2060, a well-known community venue with easy access and on-site facilities. It’s centrally located for families across the North Sydney area and close to public transport links.
There is typical community centre access and facilities, with staff experienced in running children’s workshops and managing food activities. Parents can drop off or stay nearby depending on their preference and the needs of the child.
If you need directions or parking advice, the North Sydney Community Centre information page or local transport guides provide practical tips for arrival and pick-up. The venue is family-friendly and set up for hands-on learning.
This baking workshop includes supervised use of kitchen equipment and ovens, with an emphasis on safety, hygiene and age-appropriate instruction. Children will be taught how to measure ingredients, handle utensils safely and clean up as part of the session.
Allergen information should be considered prior to booking; contact the organisers if your child has food allergies or dietary requirements so staff can advise on suitability and any necessary precautions. The workshop involves shared tasting, so please bring a lidded container for taking food home.
The session is best suited to children aged 10 to 12 and aims to build confidence and practical skills. Parents are welcome to stay if that helps their child settle, but it is not required, allowing older children to enjoy independence in a supervised learning environment.
The cost for the single session is $80 per child, payable at the time of booking through the North Sydney Council events booking system. Spaces are limited and bookings are recommended early to secure a spot for your child.
Booking details, cancellation policies and any concession information are available on the event listing via the council website. Check the event page for final confirmation, refunds policy and any updates to timing or supplies.
This is a great option for parents looking for a purposeful school holiday activity or weekend workshop that teaches real skills while being genuinely fun. Secure your child’s place soon to avoid disappointment and to plan your weekend around a joined-up afternoon tea experience.
