LAKE JACKSON 'That's the way the cookie crumbles" took on a whole new meaning for the young participants of a baking course as it became the main ingredient in their recipe for success. Baking Gators, an instructional baking course offered through the Brazosport Community College Enrichment Program, offered Saturday was the first of four being offered, with each session broken down into three age groups. The middle age group featured students ranging from 9 to 12 years old and attracted nine participants who spent a couple of hours learning to bake and decorate cookies with experienced baker Bryanna Romo.
“The thing about cooking and baking is that there’s no mistake; you just work it out,” Roma said. The young bakers were serious about decorating their cookies in the fun-filled atmosphere infused with upbeat music and the aroma of freshly baked sugar cookies in the Community Education Demonstration Kitchen. “Let's just feel happy.
Play music, and we're going to have fun and just enjoy each other's company,” Roma said as she began the cooking class. Roma, an experienced private chef and baker, caters local events and cooks meals for family and friends. She teaches cooking classes in the Community Education Youngsters Enrichment Program, making learning to cook fun and useful for kids.
