On the 17th of November 2011, a few Leo’s met up in school at around 7.30a.m. to bake mixed fruit muffins which were going to be sold during the Form 1’s registration day. When everyone arrived, the Leo’s went to the cooking room to start baking. We had a lot of help from our teacher advisor, Puan Betty as well as Lion Malcolm. They helped us measure the ingredients and thought us how to mix them all together properly.
When the batter was ready, we lined the trays with cupcake liners, and the batter was put inside. The trays were put into the 4 ovens that were preheated and it was left inside until the muffins turned golden brown. We took out the trays and left it to cool. After a whole day of baking, we managed to bake a total of 270 muffins and we definitely couldn’t have done it without the help of our teacher advisor and Lion Malcolm.
When the muffins were cool enough, the Leo’s packed them into clear plastics of 3 and the top was staplered. We decided to sell each packet for RM 3. While it was still warm, we went around selling the muffins. The teacher’s were very supportive towards our project. Some of them bought as many as 6 packets! The rest of the packets were kept to be sold the next day during the registration.
On Friday, the 18th of November 2011, which was also the registration day for the incoming Form 1 students, a few members from the Leo club went around selling the muffins to the parents and students.
It was from 9.00am till 12.00pm. The aim of this project is to raise funds to buy a new projecter for our school. A total of 10 Leos helped out to sell. Parents, students and teachers were generous enough to buy. After successfully selling a total of 270 cupcakes, we packed up and passed the money to our Vice President, Leo Jessie Rose. We were really exhausted at the end of the day, but had loads of fun selling muffins and working together.
