Our students have again illustrated their imagination and creativity in planning, designing and producing drip cakes as part of the Year 10 Food Fabulous Food class. The students prepared their cakes and decorations themselves, producing their favourite drip cakes. Some special themes and marvellous colours were applied to execute the designs at a different level. The students displayed a high level of enthusiasm and spent time preparing their decorations at school and at home. They learnt how to use solite icing for decoration, get the correct temperature required to make chocolate ganache and attain the right consistency to prepare chocolate shards. They mastered special piping skills and enjoyed creating professional-looking and scrumptious drip cakes.
Below two students reflect on their learning:
Making this cake has been a great experience. It has taught me so many new things about the culinary world. It is an amazing thing to be able to do not just at school but at home too, just to have this knowledge is extraordinary. You get to design the cake however you want, there is no limit to your imagination. The cake tastes amazing too.

Making this drip cake was an amazing experience, I loved using my imagination to add my touches to the cake. Learning new skills like piping and adding the drip to the cakes was also fun. For anyone who loves making cakes and having fun, then I highly suggest you do Food Fabulous Foods in the future as making these cakes is an amazing opportunity.
