Amazing CULINARY celebrations
The Birthday Party They’ll Be Talking About All Year
A hands-on cooking celebration made entirely from scratch.
Give your child more than another ordinary party.
At Life Plus, young chefs step into the kitchen, cook an incredible menu from scratch, and celebrate over a meal they created together.
It is hands-on, exciting, delicious, and completely taken care of by our culinary team.
You Celebrate. We Handle the Rest.
At Life Plus, the Food Is the Party…
This is not a cooking demonstration where kids sit and watch. Every guest gets involved.
They will mix, roll, shape, season, decorate, and cook alongside our culinary instructors as they work together to prepare a complete menu. Then everyone gathers around the table to enjoy what they made.
Your child feels like the star of their own cooking show. Their friends have an experience they will remember. You get to enjoy the celebration without spending the day running the kitchen.
Our team takes care of the ingredients, equipment, instruction, setup, and cleanup. You arrive with your guests, enjoy the experience, take plenty of pictures, and leave the mess with us.
A Fully Guided Cooking Experience
Our instructors lead the group through every dish, keeping young chefs engaged, supported, and excited from beginning to end.
A Delicious Menu Made From Scratch
Guests do not just decorate a premade cupcake or assemble a snack. They learn real techniques and prepare food they are proud to serve and eat.
A Private Celebration for Your Group
Your party has its own dedicated culinary experience, thoughtfully organized around your child and their guests.
Everything Is Included
We provide the ingredients, aprons, tools, cookware, equipment, and supplies needed for the experience.
Setup and Cleanup
We prepare the kitchen before you arrive and take care of the cleanup after the celebration.
