HI, I'M SARA

Over the years, I've worn many hats!  Throughout my career, I have taken on many roles and responsibilities. I have a background in counseling psychology and parenting education, holding graduate degrees in both fields.

I'm also an experienced baker. In 2012, I started a home baking business and sold at local farmers markets, in Massachusetts. More recently, I have switched from selling, to my passion, teaching.

I love working one-one with tweens and teens, and have been teaching them both in-person and online since 2017.

The more classes I've taught, the more I've realized that baking is the perfect way to learn skills, build confidence, and support connection.

I bring my unique background to sharing what I love with parents and their families. It's my goal that families come together in the kitchen and experience the power of baking.

When you enroll in Bakeology: Teen Cookie Baking Course, your tweens/teens will master making three different cookie recipes, gain confidence in their own kitchens using their own tools, and create delicious cookies. As parents, you will cherish the time you spend bonding with your teens, creating new memories, and learning together.


HERE'S WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH SARA...

"Sara was very friendly, patient and led an engaging class which gave the kids a change to ask questions as they went along. Sara would also take the time to check in with each kid throughout the class and ask how they were doing." Cathy B.

"We LOVE Sara Ran Away with the Spoon! Sara did a cooking lesson for my 4-year-old. During the lesson, Sara was engaging, spoke kindly to my daughter, and patiently taught her - virtually! I highly recommend Sara." Krysta J.

" I was thrilled to have the opportunity to bake with Sara and to hear her passion for how baking can help to build strong relationships with teens and tweens.  As a school administrator, I know how significantly  the Social and Emotional wellbeing of teens and tweens have suffered over the past few years since COVID.  Any opportunity for a teen to try a new skill, and in the process build a strong connection with a caring adult, is something that should be welcomed and celebrated. " Ellen G.

"Sara Ran Away With The Spoon provided an exceptional baking class that not only taught my four kids essential baking skills but also emphasized organization, planning, and following directions. Sara’s engaging teaching style made the lessons both fun and educational, boosting their confidence in the kitchen. My children came away with wonderful memories and newfound enthusiasm for baking, thanks to Sara's unique approach and supportive guidance." Jenae T.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Will it take a lot of time to make the recipes? 
    No! You can make one recipe at a time. It should take less than two hours, with a bit of a break in the middle. Preparation should take about 20 minutes. The cookie dough will chill for 60 minutes. Baking will take about 30 minutes. You can even prepare the dough and bake on another day. After making the dough, just leave the dough in your fridge for 1-3 days, and bake when you are ready.

  • My teen wants to bake on their own. Can they? 
    Absolutely! If they want to try baking on their own, they will have video tutorials and the detailed recipes to guide them. They may need help buying ingredients and supervision cooking, but they can prepare the dough without any help.

  • How can I get my teen excited to bake with me? 
    Involve them in the entire process from start to finish. Make a list and go shopping together. Watch the videos together. When it's time to bake, ask them to choose music or make a playlist that you can listen to. Set low-key expectations, just a time to bake and relax.

  • What can I do to build my tween/teen's confidence while baking? 
    Step back and let them shine. It's okay if they over-measure or spill flour on the floor. Use it as a time to bond, don't worry about perfection or messes. Do your best not to correct them. They will learn by doing.

  • How is this class different from other baking classes?
    You will be working in your own home with your own tools. If you were to take a class at a local store or bakery, you would be using their equipment, which may be very different than your own. Also, you can work at your own pace. And, this class has tools for you to use so your time together will be more than just learning to bake, but a chance to build memories and bond.

  • I would like to bake with my grandchildren, is this class for me?
    Yes! This cookie baking class is a wonderful way for you to connect with your grandchildren. If your time together is limited, choose one recipe. Share a story with them while you bake, they will love hearing your memories.

  • I don't know how to bake, should I bother with this class?
    Give it a try! Learn along with your kids, or let them teach you. This class is geared toward beginner bakers and has many tips and tricks to help build any new baker's confidence.

  • My family has allergies, will these recipes work for us? 
    The recipes are all nut-free. They have not been tested to be gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan.  If you are used to making substitutions, you could try them with gluten-free flour (I like King Arthur Gluten Free), dairy-free butter (Earth Balance) or your favorite egg substitution. The textures will be different, as will the spread of the cookies. I cannot guarantee how they will turn out, as I haven't tested them with substitutions. If you try a substitution, let me know how it goes!

  • I love to bake, but don't have children. Will I enjoy this class?
    The recipes for the cookies are all my favorites. You will benefit from the tutorials and recipes so that you can make delicious chocolate, sugar, and oatmeal cookies.

  • To be successful, do I have to buy a lot of special equipment?
    A few basic items are needed like baking sheets, bowls, spatulas, and measuring cups/spoons. The recipes call for an electric mixer. You can use a stand or hand mixer. If you don't have an electric mixer, the cookie dough can be made by hand--your butter needs to be very soft and you need a lot of muscle power! You may have to skip the frosting for the sugar cookies as that would be hard to do without a mixer. You could make the sugar cookies as directed and top them with colorful sugar. The remaining equipment is suggested to make it easier for you, but not required.
