Harry’s Kitchen Baking Studio Located at K11 MUSEA, Harry’s Kitchen is a colourful and playful interactive baking studio for students of all ages to learn how to create their own confectioneries and pastries under the guidance of professional chefs. Fundamentals of food are taught through the key senses - taste, smell, touch, colour and vision. From October 4, kids can get into the Halloween spirit with specially-themed classes which include a 90-minute ‘Mischievous Spooks’ class in which students will make a spine-chilling sponge cake topped with

“ghosts” of piped buttercream frosting and a three-and-a-half hour ‘Mr Harry’s Malicious Mansion’ class in which students construct a one-of-a-kind mansion from cookies and haunted by ghoulish monsters. Halloween classes from $580. harryskitchenhk.com
French expat Alix noticed a gap-in-themarket for practical, healthy cooking classes for kids, adults and domestic helpers. She launched her business Cooking with Alix earlier this year through which she aims to help children appreciate healthy ingredients and explore new foods in a fun and engaging environment. Alix’s classes are unique in that she comes to your home and takes care of everything - the teaching, ingredients, utensils, aprons and cleaning, making the experience completely hassle-free. Children are entertained throughout the class with Alix arranging food-related activities during baking breaks. Classes for children aged two and up cost $280 each for a group class (three to six students) and $500 for a private class. Contact Alix via Instagram. @cooking_with_alix
