Baking French Toast

Last week we made french toast with group 1 they went well.  Unfortunately we set the fire alarm off 3 times but we learnt to make sure that when we do something like that, then keep the windows open. Another thing that was a minor setback our toast was a little too soggy but we learnt that we have to be quick when we dipped it into the mix. Apart from that everyone liked it we got a complement form Lotte saying they were really good and one from Johanna saying they were good but soggy.

Baking Cakes

Baking cake

This week we made cake. I made It with Isaac instead of Jess because she went to Porters Pass with the rest of the room one. Isaac helped me bake the cake we baked the cake with some of the kids from room two the kids they were Stella ,Charles and Tamzin. We made a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and chocolate chips inside it looked amazing and tasted amazing too. We did have a little bit of a problem with the oven temperature but at the end it was worth the wait. Because the seniors went to camp and the juniors got too bake Jess and I already thought that we would have to bake also with the seniors or else it would be unfair so we are also baking next Thursday. Not sure what we are going to be making but it will be a desert. Here are some photos of us baking

We ended up making nine pizzas in total we made two small ones for the junior class and six pizzas for the senior class and one for the teacher and staff.On Tuesday Jess and I went to go get all the ingredients and our budget was twenty dollars and under but unfortunately we spent fifty dollars . This week Jess is going too ski camp and I am not so I will be baking with the junior class and because Jess will be away so Isaac will be helping me and we will be making cakes.

Baking Wedges

Last week Jess and I made wedges with another group. We made paper bags to
put them in because there weren't many things to do in making wedges. 
Everyone in the school got a bag full. We made five trays full we also had sour
cream and chilli sauce on the side with a little bit of salt. The potatoes came
from our garden so they were incredible fresh. We will be making a desert next
week.

Baking On Thursdays

A couple of weeks ago Jess decided that she wanted to do some baking. She wrote a letter to the teacher and Mrs Dodds said that it was a good idea. Jess and I have been organising what we bake each week and what we need. Before we started we needed to find out who has food allergies so we knew the food was safe for everyone.

 first week Jess and I made waffles with one group from the senior class and the junior class. The week after that they made banana and chocolate chip muffins they were a blast we ended up making sixty of them. This is the third week and we are making wedges. Also the potatoes will come from school garden.

Each group gets one turn at making something and we might also continue this next term.

Here is a photo of what we baked last week.
