Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia, the Under the Sea Cupcake Baking Workshop offers a unique hands-on experience tailored specifically for parents and children ages 4 to 14. This charming workshop merges the fun of culinary arts with quality family bonding, inviting participants to step away from the everyday and dive into a whimsical world of baking and decorating.

Mount Hawthorn sits just a few kilometers north of Perth, blending a suburban vibe with artistic energy and a welcoming community feel. While not a traditional outdoor adventure locale, this workshop stands out as an inventive indoor activity that's perfect for families looking to expand their horizons beyond playgrounds and parks. Baking cupcakes under Kym’s expert guidance becomes more than just a kitchen activity—it’s a creative voyage that combines tactile learning with vivid imagination.
The workshop centers on crafting three beautifully decorated cupcakes adorned with colorful buttercream frosting and playful fondant sea-themed designs. From starfish and seashells to tiny octopuses, children and parents alike develop their fine motor skills and artistic expression. The hands-on nature of the class ensures every participant gains a strong sense of accomplishment, all while sharing laughs and sweet moments together.
What makes this workshop particularly one-of-a-kind is the emphasis on parent-child collaboration. It encourages teamwork, communication, and patience, fostering a space where culinary skill-building meets relationship-building. This is no rushed lesson—instead, it’s paced to keep young bakers engaged and confident, allowing time to experiment with colors and shapes.
Beyond the fun and flavors, the venue itself contributes to the charm. Nestled in Mount Hawthorn’s lively streets, the cooking school provides a cozy, inviting atmosphere with all the necessary tools laid out for success. Families can extend their day with a stroll through the nearby cafes and parks, making it a wholesome outing.

The Cooking Professor delivers hands‑on cooking classes and culinary workshops designed for home cooks, families, and food lovers. Featured on The Adventure Collective, the business offers a wide range of experiences that span global cuisines — from Japanese ramen and sushi to Moroccan street food, Italian pasta and gnocchi, Spanish paella and churros, and a variety of baking and cheese‑making workshops. Classes are structured for different age groups and formats: adult workshops (often noted as suitable for ages 14 and up), parent & child sessions for younger learners (examples include ages 4–14 and 8–16), junior kids’ programs, and long table dinner events. Many workshops are chef‑led and hands‑on; for example, the French patisserie class highlights Chef Kym Chambers as an instructor for choux pastry. Offerings include technical skill sessions—such as beginners knife skills, sourdough baking, cheese making (mozzarella and burrata), and sausage workshops—alongside cuisine‑specific cooking classes for Thai, Korean, Filipino, Chinese dumplings, Indian banquet classics, and more. Events also feature communal dining experiences with live music or themed entertainment for longer evening events. The Cooking Professor emphasizes practical learning, shared meals, and accessible recipes so participants can replicate techniques at home. Each class lists age suitability and detailed menus, making it straightforward to choose the right experience for families, teens, or adult learners.
