Slappy Cakes, the popular
international all-day breakfast joint originating from Portland, Oregon,
recently had its first ever Slappy Cakes Summer Camp for kids interested in DIY
pancake design and various arts and crafts. The three-day art workshop for kids
aged five to 12 years old was held at the SM Aura, SM North Edsa The Block, and
Eastwood branches. By providing art-filled activities and a venue to meet new
friends, this was Slappy Cakes’ way of making summer more fun for kids.
“Slappy Cakes Summer Camp was started to make kids’ summers
more fulfilling and enjoyable. Parents and their kids are always finding new
ways to spend their summers, and this is a great way to learn something new
while still having fun,” said Karen Caballero, General
Manager of Slappy Cakes.
Exclusive to this camp were
different colored pancake batters that were especially made for the kids to
enjoy and play with. On the first day of the workshop, the youngsters were
given Slappy Cakes aprons and toques which they were allowed to design and
doodle on. They were also taught how to make basic shapes and abstract art with
the pancake batters. On the second day, they were shown how to make furry and
fluffy dogs out of yarn or cotton. Pancake dog counterparts and colorful fishes
were also taught, then the kids had the freedom to make any other animal they
wanted with the batters. On the third and last day, they were tasked to make
thank you cards for their parents and taught how to make pancakes with human
faces. The camp also promoted teamwork with a pancake art contest wherein the
kids were grouped and had to work together to showcase what they have learned. At
the end of the camp, all the campers were given certificates of participation
for being part of the workshop.
The Slappy Cakes Summer Camp will now be done annually, so
kids have another chance to join next year to have a fun and artsy experience.
