Teacher Shabana Tagore hosted an exciting Bake-Off with her Year 11 Food Science & Technology class as part of their assessment. Students were invited to be an exhibitor in a local cookery competition centred on flour-based products.

The food was to be cooked using a dry technique, such as baking and dry/shallow frying and must focus on a staple food product like wheat flour.

They were given 40 minutes to produce their baked item for a judging panel. Recipes were selected following a blind draw from the following categories:

Scones
Pikelets
Cup Cakes
Mini Muffins
Choux Pastry.

Thank you to our wonderful guest judges

“It was amazing to see the students take pride in their achievements and get professional advice and feed back from the judges” said Ms Tagore.

Winner of the Bake-Off was Emma Perry-Joyce. She made some tasty pikelets, which were plated with butter and maple syrup. A close runner-up was Hannah Eekhof who made custard filled choux pastry puffs.
