Magic

"Today when I saw my daughter clapping her hands I knew that was a sign of a satisfactory accomplishment. She was so into the class. The praises from the chefs encouraged her confidence and motivated her to want know more. My daughter has Asperger Syndrome and it’s difficult for her socially. However, the smiles and claps from her today was simply priceless. Thank you.”

Amazing party!

"This was such a wonderful birthday party experience for my daughter and her friends! The group of 8 year olds had an amazing time, really enjoyed the actual work of cooking and preparing their own food, and eating the delicious food when it was done! The music was fun, the chef was so patient and caring, and the whole experience couldn't have been better for everyone! Really appreciated the little details too, like the aprons and hats for the kids (which they got to decorate), the ice bowls and cups for water, and the cake tray and cutting. Would highly recommend to friends."

A Hands-On Holiday Experience

At The Real Food Academy, we believe hands-on learning is the most effective way to teach children new skills while encouraging creativity and fun. Our classes are built around the idea that kids learn best by doing, and we love seeing them light up with joy and pride as they bring their ideas to life.

That’s why our gingerbread house classes are fully hands-on. We let kids decorate at their own pace and express their creativity. This approach also helps them learn valuable skills like patience, attention to detail, and fine motor control.

We’ve designed our classes to be accessible to all ages and skill levels, ensuring everyone feels welcome and engaged. Our team works hard to create a collaborative and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable expressing their creativity and adults enjoy the festive spirit alongside them.

And of course, the fun doesn’t end in the classroom! Every participant gets to take their gingerbread house home to proudly display or share with family and friends!
