Screen to Plate Cooking Camp at Foodie Kids Austin
If your child has been watching food trends on their screen and begging to try them at home, we have great news. At viral food camp class cooking Foodie Kids style — we bring those craveable internet favorites straight into a real kitchen. This week at our Screen to Plate Camp, kids got hands-on with two of the biggest food trends around: candied fruit skewers and caramelized flattened croissants. Consider the trends officially taste-tested — and kid-approved.
From the Screen to the Plate: What Kids Made This Week
Our Screen to Plate Camp is built around one simple idea: if kids are watching it online, they should learn to make it themselves. This week, that meant two seriously fun recipes.
Candied Fruit Skewers — inspired by the tanghulu trend that has taken social media by storm — gave kids a chance to work with hot sugar and build something beautiful and delicious. Threading fresh fruit and coating it in a crackling candy shell? That’s real kitchen confidence right there.
Caramelized Flat Croissants are exactly what they sound like: buttery, flaky croissants pressed flat and pan-caramelized until they turn into crispy, golden, toffee-edged masterpieces.
According to the American Culinary Federation, hands-on cooking education builds critical skills in children — from fine motor development to math and science thinking. We see that come alive every single week at Foodie Kids.
