Little Miss Muffet, a first-of-its-kind concept that combines an academy, a European cafe and a bakery, has opened in MGF Mall, Saket.
It recently hosted a special class for the kids from Udyam Trust. The kids learned how to make cakesicles and cake pops from scratch. They were excited to break the monotony and learn something new. The baking session was followed by lunch.
The team at the cafe-cum-bakery, which believes that it is not the gift that counts, but it is the thought that counts, acknowledged their presence by gifting them a notebook, stationery kit and chocolates.
While education, sports and fine arts are all directed towards helping a child’s growth and development, it thought of working towards empowering underprivileged children through culinary arts, as it gives them a breathing space from all the other essential activities and helps develop their skills.
The team tried to give back the right of childhood and helping a child’s development through baking.
It said, “Baking is an art which should be accessible to all with the minimalistic ingredients. One should bake as if one is baking at home. This is a different kind of education; educating the mind without educating the heart is not education at all.”
The team added, “This is a good way to bond after a long day of hard work for all of us, but also a beautiful opportunity for all the Little Miss Muffet employees.”
“The day was filled with love, laughter and fun. The joy on the faces of these kids was palpable. They would go on and on trying to make a perfect ball of cake pop. It was a fun learning experience for us,” it said.
“We learnt that having compassion for others and treating those around us with kindness does not have to be taught. It is often learned through model behaviour and comes naturally to many kids,” the team added.
“But there are many activities for kids that further encourage a kindness mindset. In bringing awareness to situations that require compassion and empathy, children will begin to view others with a more understanding lens,” it said.
