The next Baking Club project

Tweet

I keep asking the members on our Google Classroom what they are interested in doing. I'm really not even supposed to be doing that--they are supposed to be planning things on their own but that hasn't happened with this group. Anyway it is kind of a 50/50 split on actually cooking/baking and decorating. 2 weeks ago we made homemade cinnamon rolls from scratch over the course of 2 days. Our meetings are normally every other Monday but we have off for Presidents Day so we are meeting this Tuesday. They will be decorating cupcakes. I had originally planned Valentine's Day decorating but then realized that Tuesday is *after* the day. I asked the group who showed up for the yearbook pictures if they still wanted that theme or if they wanted to do something else. They still want Valentine's Day so that's what we are going with. I will make the cupcakes (both chocolate and vanilla) here on Monday. I ordered a bunch of different decorating items as well as icing and boxed cake mix. I have muffin liners, plates, napkins, plastic knives, and cleaning spray already. I've been reimbursed for eggs for the Thanksgiving turkey cupcakes so I'm just going to use the ones that I have here already. I'm waiting on a final count but it looks like about 20 students are planning to attend. So that's the plan for Tuesday. Then we have a bake sale before school on Friday. Not sure what we will do for the next actual baking project. I'm thinking either soft pretzels or pizza. I'll think about that after the bake sale.
