Its all about the dough!

The sweet indulgence course for the semester of Elements culminated in with enriched bread dough, with students making a selection of doughnuts, cinnamon rolls and churros.

A massive congratulations to all the BTEC hospitality and in particular the Y13 students who plan, and managed the entire Afternoon Tea event. The students developed the idea to invite senior citizens from the local community, after some teachers ahd gone on a community walk and met some of the people. the students worked with Raymond Li, the Tai Wai councilor as a client to come up with event proposals and then designed the menu accordingly to ensure theire a good mix of asiain and western flavors. The Y13’s were responsible for the all the sweet products and the Y12 students made all the savourty items.   there were 40 senior citizens and 30 teachers at the event  and the food, service and entertainment were all absolutely amazing. All the senior citizens were so appreciative of the thought and effort that had gone into making them feel welcome and it really helped to make Island school feel more part of the local community. Well done to all involved and thanks to everyone that attended.  

If the Choux Fits – Star bakers (Rachael, Sarrah, Prekesh, Emilie, Emisa)

This week in Sweet Indulgence was all about chop. Students had to make a  batch of cream puffs using the same recipe and then differentiate by accuracy and presentation techniques. Doris Chan the students teacher made an amazing croque-en-bouche to show how to elevate the product to high class bakery standard The standard of final results was the best so far form the entire class and Ms Leung found it really difficult to choose her favorite, but went for the students who had put the most detail into the plating. Well done to Rachael, Sarrah, Prekesh, Emilie, Emisa who won the star baker award
