Children 6 to 12 will have the opportunity to have their cake, then eat it, too, as they decorate their own, individual cake through a class offered by BAKED., the custom cake bakery at 2604 California Ave SW, by Admiral Way. Coined "Future Little Bakers" the first class is offered Oct. 26. Sign up by Oct. 23. The class costs $75 and includes a six-inch cake of their choice, which serves 12 to 14 people, to bring home after they add their personal, artistic touches.

"This is our first run," said Natalie Vorpahl, who owns and operates BAKED. with Kristina Serfass. The Herald reported on their opening here.

'We will see how it goes, then probably offer the class once a month," she added. "Parents can drop their kids off, or stay if they want to watch."

Serfass and Vorpahl will offer their gentle assistance, but the kids are free to decorate as they wish.

"It's one of those things that little kids, both boys and girls, enjoy," she said of decorating. "They have been exposed to Cake Boss (TLC) and Ace of Cakes (Food Network).

"They'll create fun shapes with fondant cut-outs (sweet sugar paste), use different piping (pastry tubes), sprinkles, glitter. They choose either chocolate or vanilla cake, but the the fillings are endless. The frosting is white, unless they want us to color it. But white is a little blank canvas for them."
