Santa's not the only one you have a chance to meet during your visit to Jolly Days at The Children's Museum! Mr. Claus has brought many of his friends from the North Pole to spread some holiday cheer. They may sing you a cheery carol or tell you a story, and they’ll definitely get you into the holiday spirit! Patty Cakes is one of Santa’s “sweetest” holiday friends and wants to hear about your favorite holiday treats!
Patricia “Patty” Cakes is beginning her first year as the North Pole’s Official Chef. She is by no means new to the cooking and baking scene, though. She has a degree from Le Cordon Bleu, served as Julia Child’s apprentice, and has a well-received cooking show to her name. Her latest accomplishment? Patty is the winner of Iron Chef: North Pole, landing her the prestigious title of "Official Chef" to the North Pole. She really wants to impress Santa and the elves, so she's visiting The Children’s Museum to chat with families about what they like to eat and cook during the holidays. She's hoping to get some new recipe ideas to bring back to the North Pole.
Your family can also help Patty design festive holiday cookies and share your favorite holiday decorating tips! Tell Patty about your favorite holiday baking memories and help her decide which recipes Santa would like best! Help her collect recipes for her recipe book, whether it be your favorite dish, something special you make every year, or a recipe that has been in the family for a long time.
You can practice some of your baking skills in the Jolly Days kitchen, or at home! You never know, Patty may need help at the North Pole one day…
