The master chefs are hard at work: slicing bananas, whisking a sticky mixture in a bowl, squeezing piped cream across a cake.
This, however, is no ordinary kitchen — as is apparent from the sticky fingers in mouths and the hints of a tantrum when cake mixtures are taken away and placed in the oven.
This is perhaps little surprise bearing in mind the chefs in question are not adults, but pint-sized babies and toddlers who are honing their culinary skills by taking part in a special baking class in Tokyo.
