Kids Rolling In Dough
A group of girls huddled around the stainless-steel work table, curling strips of dough around skewered bits of pepperoni, cheese and sausage. At the end table, 4-year-old Benjamin Hebert was struggling with the pizza dough, trying to untangle the sticky pastry from the rolling pin. The little cooks were making Pizza on a Stick during a class at Young Chefs Academy - a culinary school catering to children ages 4 and older. The franchise, which has schools in Carrollwood and Brandon, offers everything from after-school and weekend cooking classes to birthday parties and monthly membership programs. With a monthly membership, children can take a cooking class once a week or plan a special event. Owner Bill Barnaba said he opened the cooking school in December 2006 to offer parents an alternative to the dozens of businesses that host children's birthday parties.
