Just a middle-aged old man baking cookies

That's what the kids thought of me. There's a first time for everything, but to be called a middle-aged by 7-9 year olds isn't what I hoped to hear at the age of nearly 31....

Gemma and I met inside Mercato Metropolitano and introduce ourselves to Beth, who was running the show today as the main lady hosting the baking class pulled out. Therefore, Beth made to make a quick batch of Nika's gingerbread people dough before all the kids came.

The kids slowly came into today unlike the weekend when they were all prompted. Today, at first, it looked like 2 were going to attend and then 10 showed up.

After giving all a piece of gingerbread dough, the kids flattened out the dough with their palms to maximize on the amount of cookies they could cut. Each one had their own shape and did plenty of them, but some did share the shapes.

The cookies baked in the oven for 10 minutes before a five minute cool down. Afterwards, the kids decorated the cookies to their hearts delight.

They had pizza for lunch, which some loved and others didn't (who doesn't like pizzas...), but eventually they all had a slice at least...even if some just ate the crust...
