bakery fieldtrip


Last week, our preschool group went to a local bakery for a fieldtrip. I love bakeries. I think the kids had a good time too.


Entering the bakery.



We were led into the back room to see how they did things.



The kids got to see the big oven, the fridge, and the small work space. The mixers: one KitchenAid, and one Bosch--no big mixer! That's insane, considering that they put out around 600 rolls a day during the holidays!



Each kid (and parent if they wanted) got a free cookie of their choice at the end. Me and a couple other moms stayed after the field trip was over and ate lunch there.



Fresh-baked goods can't be beat. I do enjoy baking at home with my kiddos, but it's nice sometimes when the "work" is already done.

How fun! We don't have a bakery like that near us - just your run-of-the-mill big-business types that make so many treats that they all taste kind of old and boring. Nothing fresh and exciting. The last picture of the cookies is making my mouth water. Jordan went on a few food-related field trips in preschool, but they were all to places like pizza parlors or farms to pick vegetables. I would have gone with him if he went to this bakery!
