Dessert Dash

Sweet tooth and aspiring pastry chefs had their fill on the 9^th of October 2016 when Kolej Sakura organized a dessert making competition called ‘Dessert Dash’. True to its name, this competition requires the participants to create their own dessert using key ingredients consisting of chocolate and cornflakes as well as extra ingredients of their own, within a limited set of time and those desserts are also to be sold to passer-by’s.

The event began at 1.30 p.m. with the opening of a booth selling a few ingredients the participants could buy should they are lacking some. At 2.00 p.m., after a briefing, the participants began making their desserts. They were given approximately two hours to cook, and about an hour to sell as much of their products as they can to other students. The participants were told to raise at least RM30 in order for them to earn their revenue back.

          The evaluations were done by Ms. Noorfarida and Mr. Jeffery. Each team was required to send a representative who would then present and explain their desserts to the judges. Around 5.45 p.m., a short closing ceremony is held. The teams that managed to earn back their revenues by selling more than RM30 worth of desserts are as followed:

·         Food Lover

·         Gummy

·         Super Girls

·         Yum Yum

·         Dessert-licious

·         Rainbow

·         Sumaiyah

·         Hi

         The top four winners received hampers and RM15 as prizes. The fourth place goes to Do Re Mi, third place goes to Candy-licious, second place goes to Kahoot, and finally, first place goes to Candy Crush. The judges received souvenirs as a show of appreciation. The event ended at 6 p.m.
