Year 9 Food Technology
Cake Decorating Incursion
On Wednesday 18th May, students in Year 9 Food Technology participated in a cake decorating incursion. Students learnt how to decorate cupcakes using fondant. This is a valuable skill and they will use this in their upcoming assessment task for Food Technology.
Students spent the day learning how to shape fondant to create a cake topper and made cupcake designs in the form of a bunny, a mushroom and a raccoon. Many cake toppers were made from fondant. Some designs included flowers, a bear and an owl.
We have been very blessed to have Rosemary from Cake Decorating Solutions, Arndell Park who has been delivering this workshop to us for many years at our College. We thank her for sharing her gifts, talents, tips and tricks to ensure we are able to achieve our Personal Best for our assessment task.
We also would like to thank Mrs Van Der Werf who helped organise and set up all our resources for this event as well as Ms Harwood and Mrs Rafique who continue to help us strive for our personal best in every lesson.
