In this hands-on baking class, kids will join Chef Amy McCoombs to create decadent Black Chocolate Lava Cakes with molten chocolate centers, finished with rich ganache and a vibrant strawberry-raspberry coulis. They’ll also make caramel from scratch before dipping and decorating their own festive caramel apples.
