In an innovative twist to the traditional baking class curriculum, students are putting their skills to the test with a unique assignment that goes beyond the classroom walls.
Ms. Vinopal has introduced a performance assessment where students will design and create custom cakes for staff volunteers.
Fourteen lucky volunteers have been selected to play a crucial role in this challenging experience for the bakers.
The volunteer participants will meet with the assigned student groups, providing insight into their cake preferences for delivery a week before winter break.
Throughout the project, volunteers will meet with their respective student groups at least twice more, offering honest feedback and specific requests, such as dietary restrictions or flavor preferences.
What's next: The culmination of this sweet endeavor will see the staff volunteers taking their personalized cakes home on the last day of the performance assessment. To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, volunteers, along with their guests, will be asked to complete a feedback form once they savor their unique masterpieces.
This engaging project not only challenges baking students to apply their skills in a real-world setting but also fosters collaboration between students and community members. With anticipation building, the baking class is eager to showcase their creativity and craftsmanship in the form of delectable, custom-made cakes.
