As part of the Y13 BTEC Business studies course, the students were split into 3 teams and each team was gioven $300 to spend on ingredients and materials and were given a stall at the winter fare. They were then asked to go away and plan there stall and were given a 3 hours slot in the food room, to make their products.

The 3 teams were

The Baking Boys and decided to make Triple Chocolate Brownies with fudge sauce.

Gumdrop buttons making Cupcakes

Puff flex making sweet and savory pasties.

The baking was on the whole a great success, with only Puff flex encountering any problems, as some of the sweet white chocolate pasties had quite a bit of leakage and therefore could not be sold. Gumdrop buttons, worked excellently together and produced high volume of consist cupcakes, very good collaboration. The Baking Boys produced a high quality luxury product which they then cleverly packaged.

At the winter fare The Baking boys sold out first with there 35 portions of brownies being very popular,The Cupcakes being sold for $10 each sold at steady pace and eventually sold out, but the pasties, didn’t quite sell out and they had a bit of waste from the exploded chocolate pasties.

All profits were going the Masarang Foundationon and after they had repaid their $300, paid their stall rent the final totals were

The Baking Boys – $700

Gumdrop buttons making Cupcakes – $646

Puff flex making sweet and savory pasties $134

This makes The Baking boys the winning team in terms of profit, but Gumdrop Buttins, won the teamwork award.
