My daughters happen to love to cook and bake and pretty much put anything together in the kitchen. If you need a bit of guidance for your daughters, be sure to sign up for the Cooking Class Summer Series at American Girl.

If you are in Chicago for a mini vacation or live her locally and need a great afternoon of fun for your daughter . . . be sure to visit American Girl for the Summer Cooking Classes. Cooking Class Summer Series are in full swing at American Girl at Water Tower in Chicago.

There are a number of different classes being held this summer to select. The interactive cooking classes are lively, tasty, fun AND Chef Jennifer is delightful! My daughters were able to cook with Chef Jennifer and create a summer crumble - it was delicious! They also created some take-away s'mores - which if you don't have a fire pit in your backyard - is the absolute most perfect way to make s'mores! My daughters were also able to create some fun chocolate bark with different toppings.

The Summer Series Cooking Class at American Girl are hosted in the American Girl Cafe this summer. There is one class in June, one class in July and one class in August. Each summer series cooking class will focus on a different summer treat, so your daughters will be able to take all three cooking classes and never cook the same thing!
