A Kids' Party Where the Parents Are Guests, Not Staff
Your kid only turns this age once — and you should be in the photos, not refilling trays or triple-checking which cupcake has nuts. A myChef personal chef feeds the kids, feeds the grown-ups, and manages every allergy on the guest list.
The Two-Audience Problem, Solved
Every children's party is actually two parties. There are the kids — picky, snack-driven, some with serious allergies — and there are their parents, standing around for three hours with a plastic cup, eating whatever the kids left behind. Generic party buffets serve both audiences the same tired coxinha and call it done. A personal chef plans for both: fun food kids genuinely eat, and grown-up dishes that make the adults glad they stayed.
Just as important, the chef owns the risk that keeps hosting parents up at night: allergies. With multiple children on one guest list, someone is allergic to milk, eggs, gluten or peanuts. myChef chefs collect restrictions in advance, plan safe swaps that look identical to the regular version — no child eats the 'different' sad snack — and control cross-contamination in the kitchen. Meanwhile, you're where you belong: next to the birthday kid, holding the camera, not the fryer.

How a Chef-Run Kids' Party Works
Share the Party Plan
In the myChef app, describe the party: date and time (kids' parties usually run 3-4 afternoon hours), how many children and adults, the theme, and every known allergy or restriction.
Choose a Chef Who Does Kids' Events
Filter for chefs with children's party experience — check photos of past themed spreads, reviews from other parents, and per-person pricing on each profile.
Lock Both Menus
Together you define the kids' menu, the adults' menu, and the themed sweets. The chef confirms the allergy plan, quantities for both audiences, and the final price.
Host From Inside the Party
On the day, the chef arrives early, sets up the kids' table and the grown-ups' spread, keeps everything replenished through cake time, and leaves the kitchen clean. You watch your kid blow out the candles from the front row.

What's Included
Two Menus, One Chef
A kids' menu of food children actually eat, plus a genuinely good spread for the adults — planned, cooked and served together.
Allergy Mapping and Safe Swaps
The chef collects every restriction in advance, prepares look-alike safe versions, and controls cross-contamination so no parent has to hover.
All Groceries and Ingredients
Everything is bought by the chef, sized for both audiences. The quote you approve already covers ingredients.
On-Site Preparation and Replenishment
Food is made fresh at your home or condo party room and kept topped up for the whole 3-4 hour party window.
Themed Sweets and Treats
Brigadeiros, decorated cookies and treats matched to the party theme. The chef also plates and serves a cake you order from a confeitaria.
Full Cleanup
Kitchen, serving tables and trays cleaned before the chef leaves — you're not scraping brigadeiro cups at 9 PM.
The Birthday Cake Itself
Most families order the themed cake from a specialist confeitaria; the chef coordinates delivery timing and handles presentation and serving.
Entertainment and Party Monitors
Recreation staff, characters and games are outside the chef's scope — the chef feeds the party, the recreadores run it.
Parties Parents Actually Enjoyed
"Fernanda's son Theo turned six, and Theo's best friend has celiac disease. At every previous party, that boy brought his own sad snack box from home. Fernanda booked a myChef chef for the 30-guest party and asked for one rule: every kid eats the same thing."
The chef made the entire kids' menu gluten-free — coxinhas, mini pizzas, cake-table sweets — without telling the children. Nobody noticed any difference, the celiac kid ate from every tray for the first time at a party, and his mother hugged Fernanda on the way out.
"Rafael and Paula hosted their twins' fifth birthday for 40 people in the condo party room in Curitiba — a space with a counter, a microwave and not much else. Previous years meant Rafael spending the party ferrying trays from their ninth-floor apartment."
The chef did a site check by video beforehand, brought portable induction burners, and ran the dinosaur-themed party entirely from the salão de festas. Forty guests fed, both twins' cake moments on video with both parents in frame, and the counter cleaner than the condo checklist required.
"Camila noticed that at her daughter's parties, the adults — half the guest list — always hovered awkwardly around a table of kid snacks. For the seventh birthday, 15 kids and 20 adults, she asked the chef for a proper grown-ups' corner."
While the kids demolished mini hot dogs and brigadeiros, the adults got a grazing board, warm mini quiches and espresso brigadeiros with real coffee. Several parents stayed past pickup time, which Camila counted as the party's best review.
