Chef Dobson did not disappoint! 👩🏾‍🍳🍔
During Cooking Club, Chef Dobson and her students whipped up some absolutely delicious sliders! 🤤 For dessert, they made cupcakes, fresh whipped cream, and Rice Krispie treats. 🧁✨
The students were so proud of themselves for creating such a tasty meal from start to finish. Not only did they learn valuable cooking skills, but they also had a blast working together in the kitchen!
Great job, chefs! 👏🍽️
