Food Explorers: 2 Hours of Baking

Join Food Explorers for an afternoon of hands on baking! You’ll be making two recipes from scratch: Pear Rolls and Tiramisu Cookies. You’ll be making your very own dough for your pear rolls and a delicious icing, plus you’ll make coffee flavored cookies with a light and fluffy frosting.

Recipes are nut free but will contain dairy, eggs, and gluten.

Registration is required. Space is limited. This event is free, open to residents of any town in Grades 6-12, and sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library.
