My daughter's 7th birthday party was done with Give Me Some Sugar...it was the happiest birthday party yet! Chef Alekka was loads of fun, kind, patient and helped the girls really learn how to decorate cakes! They were each so proud of what they had accomplished! The whole evening was so easy and pleasant, and I got to watch and take pictures....far from normal! I would highly recommend Give Me Some Sugar to anyone, and we will be awaiting Chef Alekka's next visit with anticipation!

"My daughter and I recently attended a cooking class taught by Alekka. It was fantastic! Alekka is engaging and fun. She connected with the kids immediately. Everything was well organized, but also set up for total hand on participation. Alekka encouraged the kids to get involved in every step of the process from start to finish. At the end of class, my daughter was really proud of what SHE had created. Alekka did a great job of nurturing my daughter's blossoming love of cooking!"
