Tico Baking in El Campo

The Experience

Discover local treats and traditional homemade breads with this hands-on baking experience in Cedral. Arrive at the quaint home of Doña Lorena and her daughter Marta, where the table is set for you to discover everyday Tico baking. With ingredients at the ready, it’ll be your job to prepare your batter. Made from a simple combination of ingredients, this recipe is one that is followed in nearly every Costa Rican home, and your hosts will guide you into the proper proportions for success. Craft your dough into shapes born out of your own creativity or create ‘rosquillas’ inspired by the Tico influence. Concoct small empanadas, a Tico staple, stuffed with traditional fillings. Once laid out on the pan, they’ll be popped into the oven and you can take a breath and a break from your busy work.
