All parties are priced at $250 for up to 15 children and provide personalized invitations, chefs' hats for each of the kids, goodie bags, and food and drinks. (Deposits are non-refundable, but transferable to other services). You just provide the cake, and/or we can provide cupcakes for the kids to decorate and enjoy for $3/child additional. Parties can be held anytime on Saturdays and Sundays, and weekday/evening parties are also available. Parties are typically 1 1/2 hrs, but can be customized upon request. We offer discounts for parties with more than 15 children (each additional child is just $10), and we can offer discount pricing for smaller parties as well (details vary depending on the party--additional information available by phone). Some samples of some of our more popular parties include:
Make Your Own Pizza Party - By far our most popular party! The kids will mix up a batch of pizza dough, knead it, and make/shape personal pizzas in whatever shapes their little hearts desire! (hearts, flowers, footballs, princess crowns, monster trucks, etc.)
That's Amore (ages 7 & up) - each guest will create homemade pasta dough and pasta noodles using a pasta bike/crank, and make homemade marinara sauce, and/or garlic and herb butter.
Fiesta Fabulosa! (ages 7 and up) - guests will create one of the following Fiesta recipes: cheesy chicken enchiladas, Tacos, Quesadillas, or more options available!
The Afternoon Tea (ages 6 and up) - Guests will create chocolate chip scones and tea sandwiches while learning the etiquette of afternoon tea.
Making and Decorating Cupcakes, or a more competitice Cupcake War!
Gourmet Mac n Cheese - definitely not the boxed version. We'll use gourmet Smoked Gouda cheese, the kids will make the rue sauce, add some diced ham if interested, and maybe even some corn flakes to make this favorite recipe!
Chinese Good Fortune - Fortune cookies (the kids supply the fortunes!) and your choice of main dish such as Stirfry, Potstickers or Lettuce Wraps
Cake Decorating Extravaganza! (ages 7-14) - Each guest will receive their own 5 inch round cake and make homemade buttercream frosting, and then learn/practice using various decorating techniques using pastry bags. Come have fun trying their hand at being their own cake bosses!
Young Chefs Academy locations are in Mentor, N Solon and Strongsville.
