Yummy Kids' Birthday Party Ideas in Fairfield County

1/14/16 - By Brandee Gilmore

Parties center around food anyway, so why not let the kids cook and bake?! The birthday boy or girl with their posse of sous chefs will get their hands in the mix, cooking up all flavors of fun. Some options are solely for sweet tooths, others provide full-course meals. All of them take the mess off your hands, whether it's held in your home or on site in Fairfield County.  Best of all, this kind of party suits any age -- everyone's gotta eat! For even more fun party ideas check out our Party Guide!

Plus, what could be cuter than your six-year-old (or 16-year-old) in a chef's hat?  Here are the food-based birthday party vendors we found, ordered from north to south.  

Food Jules - Monroe
This mommy has been building a business based on organic jams, homemade hot fudge and granola ... and now she's teaching kids how to enjoy the kitchen!  The birthday boy or girl gets to create a menu/theme -- two savory items and one sweet (for the birthday candle, of course).  Guests are placed in teams to divide and conquer the courses. Food Jules will come to your home, or you can host in a community center, like the library or a firehouse.  Food, supplies, recipe cards and cleanup included.  Parents bring the paper products and favors.

The Cookie Workshop - Trumbull
This nut-free bakery, also has gluten, egg and dairy-free doughs available!  Step 1: Roll, decorate and bake your own cookies.  Step 2: While they're in the oven, devour a cupcake tree and decorate your cookie take-out boxes! Party coordinator, postcard invites and coordinated paper products included.

Sweet Rexie's - Fairfield
Imagine telling little Johnny or Janie they're having a party IN a candy shop ... then sit them down and explain there will also be face painting, tattoos, crafts, decorations, balloons, games, pizzas, make-your-own sundaes, candy favors and prizes ... they'll never recover!!  (And you'll never be able to top it)!

Cindy's Sous Chefs - Westport
When Chef Cindy shows up, she's armed with more than a block of knives.  She's also an educator and an actress, which means she knows how to make this FUN!  The guest of honor has the option to play the role of guest chef on 'Chef Cindy's LIVE Cooking Show.' Choose from five themes: Japanese blow-out, Italian Party, Tea Party, Chocolate Buffet or Mexican Fiesta. 90 min, set-up and clean-up included.  Extras like 'spaghetti' ice cream and chocolate molding also available for an additional fee.

They recently added a commercial kitchen in Stamford where you can host a cooking party for your birthday boy or girl, or Aux Delices will bring the soiree to you.  Classes are hands-on and emphasize easy, interesting and seasonal foods.  20 guests maximum.
