On June 29, 2024, chez an, a confectionery shop without a storefront, hosted a kids' workshop featuring cupcake decoration and calligraphy. This event brought together children from Japanese schools and the British School, an international school, allowing them to enjoy the workshop using both English and Japanese.

Chez an is a unique confectionery shop that offers subscription-based sweets and made-to-order birthday cakes without having a physical store. The owner not only holds a chef's license but also has a diploma from Le Cordon Bleu, making the shop's offerings truly authentic. They sell adorable and delicious sweets that you would want to share secretly with someone and always have at home to bring a smile with just one bite.

In the workshop, they used elegant Japanese white bean paste colored with natural ingredients to decorate the cupcakes. The children first practiced using decorating tips and then proceeded to create charming toy poodles and beautiful bouquets on their cupcakes.

In the calligraphy workshop, children from the international school, who usually do not have the opportunity to learn calligraphy, were initially puzzled by how to hold the brush. Under the guidance of the instructor, they practiced drawing lines and then attempted to write kanji characters by following examples. After ample practice on Hanshi Japanese paper, they wrote their favorite kanji on a special gold-bordered card to take home as a keepsake.

This event provided a wonderful opportunity for children from different backgrounds to enjoy learning together and interact beyond cultural differences.
