If you have children brimming with curiosity and creativity, and you’re on the lookout for something both educational and exciting this July school holidays, there’s a delightful experience lined up at Sengkang that might just become the highlight of their month. PastaMania is once again bringing their much-loved Doughworkz programme to life through a special edition Pineapple Cake Workshop, aimed squarely at young budding bakers.
Organised by one of Singapore’s well-known Italian casual dining chains, the Doughworkz Pineapple Cake Workshop is more than just a baking session—it’s a fun-filled, hands-on activity that combines the joy of cooking with creativity and learning. It’s being held every Saturday throughout July 2025, providing families multiple opportunities to participate.
Now, before brushing this off as just another kids’ workshop, let’s talk about why this particular event is worth the time, money, and effort.
A Workshop That Blends Fun With Skills
PastaMania’s Doughworkz programme has long been designed to nurture a passion for culinary arts in children. It goes beyond simply mixing and baking. Instead, it walks kids through a complete sensory experience—from understanding the ingredients, to executing the recipe, and finally decorating the masterpiece they get to bring home.
In the July edition, young participants will be making tropical pineapple cakes from scratch. It’s a process that’s both exciting and challenging in the best possible way. Kids will learn how to mix, measure, and manage their way through baking while gaining new knowledge on teamwork, patience, and attention to detail.
Unlike the typical playgroups or classes that might feel repetitive, this event has been designed to give kids the full baking experience, all while having heaps of fun in a safe, supervised setting.
Quality Time, Unforgettable Memories
One of the biggest advantages of this event is how it offers families a chance to step away from the screens and hustle of daily life and spend meaningful time together. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or guardian, it’s incredibly satisfying to see the joy on a child’s face as they proudly present a cake they’ve created on their own.
If you’re a family that values experiences over material gifts, this workshop is perfect. It offers the gift of skill, time together, laughter, and of course, something sweet to enjoy at the end of it all. Watching your child decorate their own cake and take it home is the kind of moment that makes a weekend feel extra special.
Affordable, Educational, and Convenient
Priced at $80 per participant and just $40 for each additional child, the workshop offers decent value considering what’s included: all baking materials, ingredients, expert guidance, and the final cake to take home. When broken down, it’s a full 90-minute educational session with a tasty souvenir.
It’s held at the Sengkang ActiveSG Sports Centre—an accessible venue for many families living in the North-East region. It’s also an ideal weekend outing spot thanks to its nearby facilities and eateries, making it easy for families to turn the workshop into a half-day family activity. Grab lunch, have a walk around the sports centre, or explore the Sengkang Riverside Park after the workshop.
Not Just for Beginners
While it’s a great fit for children new to baking, the workshop also accommodates those with a bit more experience. The instructors are trained to guide participants of various levels and ages, ensuring that everyone walks away having learned something new.
So, whether your child has never touched a whisk or is already whipping up cupcakes at home, the workshop keeps them engaged with tasks suited to their ability. And because it’s conducted in small groups, every child gets the attention they need to succeed and enjoy themselves.
Register Early – Limited Slots Available
PastaMania’s Doughworkz workshops have earned a solid reputation for their quality and popularity. In past sessions, places filled up fairly quickly. If this sounds like something your child would love, it’s advisable to register early to avoid disappointment.
You can book your child’s spot online through PastaMania’s official website or visit the Sengkang ActiveSG Sports Centre in person to enquire and register. There are four Saturday sessions in total—on the 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th of July 2025—from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
A Weekend Activity Worth Looking Forward To
For many parents, the biggest challenge is keeping their children engaged in something both fun and beneficial during the school holidays. With so many digital distractions, baking can be an ideal hands-on alternative that fuels curiosity and creativity.
This workshop does exactly that. It gives children a tangible outcome they can be proud of, introduces them to the basics of baking, and helps develop fine motor skills and kitchen confidence.
Plus, it’s pineapple cake—not only delicious but also uniquely local in flavour. A nice change from the usual cookies or brownies, and a great way to teach kids about using tropical fruits in baking.
More Than Just a Workshop – It’s a Start of a Culinary Journey
While it may seem like a one-off class, many parents have shared how their children continued baking at home after attending previous Doughworkz sessions. The workshop can be the first step in a child’s culinary journey, opening their minds to future interest in cooking or baking.
With expert guidance and all the baking essentials provided, parents don’t need to stress over preparation or clean-up. Everything is taken care of. Just bring your child in comfortable clothes, an open mind, and a readiness to have fun.
