Chef Stars’ cooking parties are fun for all ages! Our cooking parties differ from our classes in that they are not academic, they are time for everyone to have fun and be creative in the kitchen. We have parties for guests as young as three, and our parents parties are perfect for the young at heart. The Adult hosting the party is required to be onsite for the entire length of the party with emergency contact information on all attending guests. Parties for 7 and up are drop off style events.
Party Options
All party menu options are $55.00 per chef with a paid minimum of 10.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the parties include?
Our parties include all the food items chosen by you and your junior chef prior to theevent, our provided cooking equipment, two chefs, aprons to wear, and a great time!
Decorations are not included, however can be provided for an additional fee. Aprons and chef hats to keep are available to purchase.
How do your parties work and how much do they cost?
Most of our parties run off the same guideline, meaning they all include an entrée, dessert item to either decorate or partially cook and a beverage. For example, Gnocchi with Marinara Sauce, Italian Cream Cupcake to decorate and Italian Soda. We try to allow our Junior Chefs to do as much as possible when it comes to cooking within our allotted period.
Our Baking parties and “Competition Style” parties are a bit different in that one is all dessert based and the other does not require you to choose an actual menu since it is competition style and students can create their own menu.
Our general cooking parties usually range from $55.00 per chef. Baking and Competition style parties are generally $65.00 – $75.00 per chef. These prices rarely vary in cost unless special requests are made outside of what normally is included.
How long do your parties last?
Our parties usually last 1.5 – 2 hours long on average, again, depending on the menu chosen. If your party is hosted at your home, our staff will arrive 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to event start time to allow for set up.
How do you accommodate food allergy requests?
We always do our very best to accommodate all dietary restrictions, whether it be allergy related or for religious or personal choices. We are a 100% nut free facility and never use them for any event or class we host. Should you have a need for special dietary accommodations, please let our staff know at the time of booking so this request can be accommodated.
Where will our party be held? My home or your studio? Is there a difference?
Our Parties can be held at your home OR our studio. The choice is yours. Should you choose to host it at your home we will provide all necessary cooking equipment that would be needed to host your event. Please note that there is a $150.00 traveling fee for all in home parties.
If I host it at my home does your staff clean up the mess, and what would I need to provide?
Yes, our staff will leave your home as clean as we found it. We provide all necessary equipment & food needed for the party, the only thing we may use depending on your menu choice, would be your sink and your oven should it be required.
Should we bring a cake or our own dessert?
This is completely up to you. We do not provide a cake, only the dessert that is included in your package. If you would like to
use the dessert item made to sing Happy Birthday, you are more than welcome do so.
Should we bring our own decorations or do you provide them?
We do not provide decorations for parties although our room is well decorated already. We can provide extra décor at an additional fee if the request is made at the time of booking. When bringing decor, please keep in mind this is a kitchen facility and certain decorations may not be allowed for safety reasons. Should you have any questions about your decor please feel free to reach out to your event coordinator.
My child’s friends have never cooked before, is this ok?
Absolutely! We are a cooking school after all. Before the beginning of each party, our chefs will go over kitchen safety, cleanliness, and staying organized while cooking. It’s a great way to introduce kids into the kitchen.
Is there a price difference if the event is held at our home versus your studio?
Yes. We do charge a traveling fee of $150.00.
Not all kids attending will be around the same age, is that ok?
Yes. We know that sometimes our party host may have a younger or older sibling that would like to participate. Most of the time this is not an issue, however, should our staff feel the child is of an inappropriate age for the event that is happening, we do reserve the right to ask the child not participate for safety reasons.
Do you have a minimum and maximum number of kids you can host?
Yes. Our minimum for ALL events is 10. You are not required to have 10 children attend, however, there is a paid minimum of 10 kids that must be met. Our studio maximum is 20 kids per event. Should you be hosting your event elsewhere and feel like you may be able to hold more than 20 kids, we are usually able to accommodate these requests.
How does the process work once I decide to book?
Pretty simple! We take all necessary information about your event and a credit card to hold it. Once we have this we will email you our “Terms & Conditions and Release of Liability”, this must be signed and returned to us no later than 5 days prior to your event. That’s it.
Are we allowed to bring outside food for snacks or appetizers for parents?
Yes. You may bring extra snacks and appetizers, we do not provide paper products for these items. We will provide additional catering and snack options for your party at an additional fee. For a menu of the food we provide, all made in house by our amazing chefs, please ask your event coordinator.
If I told you I would have a specific number of kids at the time of booking, but a few don’t show up, will I be charged?
We try to give you as much time as possible to confirm how many guests will be attending. One of our staff members will call you 48 hours prior to your event to confirm your final head count. The number we are given at that time is the number of students you will be responsible for paying for.
