January without it? Impossible!
You know, Shanghai Young Bakers and French people have at least one common point:
For both of them, January has another name: the King’s Cake month!

That is why we couldn’t end January without organizing a King’s Cake Baking Class!
Three brave French families answered the SYB’s call (or was it the King’s Cake’s call?), and had a great afternoon, baking and eating King’s Cakes altogether!

Under our French-speaking Teacher Liu Dong’s supervision, and his great assistant Sun Jinfeng, each family could go back home with several self-made King’s Cakes!

Let me tell you how this afternoon went:

First, a warm welcome and a brief introduction of SYB’s program:

Second, everyone washes their hands, wears apron and hat, ready to bake!

Third, we all listen to Liu Dong’s explanations of every step of the King’s Cake recipe:


Fourth, now that we all know how to do it, let’s do it!


Five, everything’s ready! Let’s put our King’s Cake in the oven, and have a snack meanwhile!
Six, the King’s Cakes are ready! Hmmm, they smell so good!
Seven, class is over, it’s time for a group picture!
