Pupils followed a recipe, evaluated their creations, and suggested improvements. Along the way, they gained key knowledge, including:

  • Understanding ingredient quantities
  • Mastering techniques such as sieving, measuring, mixing, and shaping
  • Appreciating the importance of budgeting

It was a fantastic opportunity to combine creativity with practical skills — and the results were delicious!
