Confectionary week – Star baker (Niamh Tait)

Well done to Niamh who made the perfect vanilla fudge in the confectionery week of Sweet indulgence. It was sweet and creamy and had the perfect texture. There was lots of other really good products madce that would be perfect Ye Olde Sweet Shop, such as peppermint creams, cinder toffee, coconut ice, Jelly sweets and many other fudges.

Food Lovers Guide – Week 1 Bread (Star Bakers – Jude and Sarah)

Today was the first day of FLG. The class kicked off with a bake off. Students worked in pairs to produce the most authentic brad from a list of breads from around the world. The challenge was to work with someone they don’t know or they just met and to follow a recipe they have never tried before.  It was wonderful to see good communication and collaboration as the students worked. In the end, Sarah and Jude were voted the bakers of the week for baking the most authentic tasting baguettes.    

Star Bakers – Megan Lam and Valerie Lee

Sweet Indulgence, chilled desserts

This week saw pupils experimenting, with cream, setting agents and methods of aeration, whilst making chilled desserts. There was a good range of high standard treats on offer including, cheesecake, mousses, panna-cotta and creme brulee with most of the presented to a restaurant standard. Star bakers had to go Lauren Mclean with her crowd pleasing Oreo Cheesecake and (for the third time) Christie Chong for her layer panna-cotta with strawberry jelly and red pulled sugar.
