Cake Boss

This term in the Food Technology department, we introduced a tasty, inspiring and fun club called Cake Boss. This was suggested to the boys last year as a new idea and it received an overwhelming response!

The club starts at 7.30am when boys come into the food room to cook up a storm, baking a batch of 80 cupcakes! The Cake Boss oven aromas wafting throughout the building always attract attention and many interested noses wander up to to see "whats cookin'?"

After school all the boys return excitedly to decorate the cupcakes in all manner of designs including owls, Elmos and Easter nests. They pack up their fresh cache to take home to share with their families. It is most pleasing to see some boys practising thoughtfulness and asking "Can I take a cake to give to my teacher? "

During the final week of Cake Boss this term, the boys have been set a challenge to design an Easter inspired fondant covered fruit cake. We are very excited to see the results of the challenge. The lucky winner will receive a small hamper of cake decorating goodies.
