Year 9 Cake Decorating Incursion

On 9 November, the Year 9 Food Technology students participated in a cake decorating incursion with Pelaya Spyrakis. Pelaya is a certified pastry chef with years of experience creating delicious desserts such as layered wedding cakes, flavourful pastries and full buffet tables of sweets. During the incursion, the students took on the challenge of designing, baking, and decorating a cake for a 16th birthday celebration. They were able to use different piping techniques and get creative with buttercream frosting. They also added the finishing touches to their creations by adding edible decorations to make their cakes even more appealing. At the end of the day, they proudly took their professional-looking and tasty creations home in a large cake box.
