Gifts from the Kitchen

Gifts from the Kitchen: Mother’s Day Handmade Treats Workshop

Forget the panic flowers.
Forget the sad supermarket chocolate box.
This year, make Mum something she’ll actually remember.

Join us at Roving Larder Cooking School in Manly for a gorgeous, hands-on Mother’s Day workshop where you’ll make, package and take home a collection of beautiful handmade gifts — the kind that look boutique, feel personal, and come with serious “wait… you made this?” energy.

This is a relaxed, feel-good class designed for connection, laughter and a little bit of chocolate-fuelled showing off.

Bring Mum, bring your daughter, bring your best friend, bring the kids, or come solo and make something beautiful for someone you love.

You’ll be guided step by step by our chef in a warm, welcoming kitchen setting — no pressure, no pastry-school seriousness, no need to be “crafty”. Just beautiful ingredients, clever little techniques, pretty packaging, and a table full of treats you’ll be proud to give.

What you’ll make

French Chocolate Mendiants
Elegant handmade chocolate discs topped with nuts, dried fruits, candied citrus and beautiful little finishes. They look like they belong in a French chocolate shop. Very dangerous. Very giftable.

Lavender Bath Salts
A pretty, calming jar of lavender bath salts — because Mum deserves more than five minutes of peace and a cup of tea that keeps going cold.

Triple Chocolate Brownie Recipe in a Jar
A gorgeous layered brownie mix, ready to gift. Mum just adds the wet ingredients, bakes, and suddenly everyone thinks you’re the favourite.

What’s included

Chef-led hands-on workshop
All ingredients, equipment and aprons
Seasonal grazing to enjoy during the class
Beautiful packaging and finishing touches
Your handmade gifts to take home
Digital recipes and notes so you can recreate everything again

Who it’s perfect for

This workshop is perfect for Mother’s Day gifting, a mother-daughter outing, a family activity, a girls’ catch-up, or anyone who wants to make something thoughtful without ending up in a glitter-and-glue disaster.

It’s sweet, relaxed, creative and genuinely lovely.

You’ll leave with handmade gifts that look polished, feel personal, and are ready to give.

And yes, you are absolutely allowed to keep some for yourself. We’re not here to judge.

Why you’ll love it

Because Mother’s Day should feel warm, thoughtful and a little bit special.

Because making something together beats scrolling next to each other on the couch.

Because handmade gifts hit differently.

And because walking out with French chocolates, lavender bath salts and a triple chocolate brownie jar feels far more impressive than saying, “I got you this candle from the chemist.”
