I paid for my 11yr old grand-daughter to attend a baking camp taught by
professionals at the local polytech. She had a fabulous time and her
parents' freezer is now full of the results including a 7 strand challah!
Some recipes used volume measurements but they emphasised that weighing
is the better practice. In fact, they had to weigh all the ingredients
for the bread, including the fresh yeast. She made pies,
rhubarb/strawberry and lemon meringue, the latter with a torched finish,
cookies, banana bread and several batches of muffins and cupcakes.
She's looking forward to a more advanced class next year. Her enthusiasm
was well worth the almost $600 cost. That's what grandparents are for{:-)

Baking camp sounds fun and educational. Those skills will last her for
life. She's a lucky girl to have such giving grandparents.

Agree! Wish there were more summer programs like that.

A wise grandfather would have contributed that $600 to her college
fund and gave his grand daughter baking lessons himself... nothing
mentioned couldn't have been baked in a home kitchen by an amateur,
and any recipe can be accessed on line within seconds. I think it
would have been far more advantageous/valuable in every respect to
have shared that baking experience together... by being an unthinking
clod you tossed away a golden opportunity to spend quality time with
your young grand daughter... you're not much of a grandfather, just a
wallet... all you taught your grand daughter is how to become a JAP.

Never mind that his granddaughter enjoyed going to the camp and had
other kids around and gee, she had fun! Sheesh!

Not only that, I *have* been teaching her to bake since she was 3 years
old!!! AND her college fund is quite healthy!
