Looking for something different for your kids birthday this year. Check out Young Chef’s Academy(a franchise). My daughter had her party here and it was pretty cool… She had 9 of her friends in for the«Pizza Palooza» — they made pizza dough(from scratch), made their own individual pizza’s, topped them, baked them, and ate them. The party was an hour and a half, and the girls had lots of fun. The 2 leaders were teenaged girls, and they were cute and competent. My daughter had lots of fun, and at the end they ate their pizzas, had a cupcake«tower» that they passed around. A cool idea for your pre-teen’s party.
