Above: Last week’s event was rescheduled to tomorrow.. (images cropped from flyer)
A teen event that was scheduled for last week at the Southborough Library was postponed. Cupcake decorating will now take place tomorrow afternoon.
The free event for ages 12-18 allows teens to “Decorate a fancy cupcake and enjoy your delicious result.” The flyer notes that cupcakes will be decorated in an animal theme with help from a professional.
No registration is required to attend the free event in the downstairs Eaton Meeting Room.
Initially, the session was scheduled for March 16th. The snow storm earlier in the week caused a power outage for the baker. She was unable to bake the cupcakes to be frosted.
As I previously posted, the event is one of several Library youth programs related to food/cooking made possible by a grant.*
The others already scheduled for this spring and summer do require pre-registration and have limited space. To sign up for any of the following, email msorensen@southboroughma.com. (Note: Tools used in the events below were funded by The Friends of the Southborough Library.)
Rainbow Food Pinwheels — for ages 5-7 with parents/guardians
Saturday, April 1, 1:00 – 2:00 pm, Eaton Room
Led by a professional children’s cooking instructor. Paired with a parent or guardian, kids will create beautiful bites out of a wrap, a nut or seed butter, and colorful fruits. They will do the same with hummus or cream cheese and colorful vegetables. Roll it up, slice it, and see the beauty inside!
Young Food Explorers — for ages 4-7 with parents/guardians
Saturday, May 13, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm, Eaton Room
Led by young picky eaters, kids will get to explore the sight, texture, smell, sound, temperature and taste of various foods without placing any pressure to eat it! Adults can learn how to continue the exercise at home to ease the tension around mealtimes.
Taco Party — for ages 9-11
Saturday, May 13, 1:00 – 2:00 pm, Eaton Room
Come enjoy making tacos at the library, led by a professional children’s cooking instructor! Kids will work in pairs and create their own taco feast with guacamole, salsa, beans, cheese and lettuce. They will practice knife skills, mashing, seasoning and assembling.
*All of the events are part of the series made possible with grant funds from the Library Services & Technology Act distributed by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
Updated (4/4/23 2:51 pm): The Young Food Explorers and Taco Party events were rescheduled from April 29th to May 13th.
