On the 25th of January 2013, 12 Leos volunteered at the
Bake Your Heart Out III which was held at the cooking room of SMK Assunta at
1.00 pm after school. The project was not only fun and exhilarating, but a
first time experience for the new Form 3 members. Their participation was truly
a blessing as we had more hands to work, and in turn the project was
successfully completed by 2.00 pm. In addition to the Form 3's, our dear
teacher advisor Pn Betty Toh and her husband were also there to help with
creating the delicious confectionaries as well as supervise the project.
This time around, the Leos
took a twist on a classic pastry. Instead of the boring old apple turnovers, we
decided to jazz it up a bit by making pineapple turnovers! The Leos were first
divided into groups, to make the workspace more efficient, as well as organized.
Once settled some Leos started off by kneading the dough, while some spread
thick delectable spoonful of pineapple filling into the soft pastry. Another
handful of Leos were in-charge of packaging the sweet treats into plastic bags,
while the Form 3's were sent out to sell and promote the desserts.
Much to our surprise, the Leos
managed to sell all the turnovers in less than an hour. The teachers as well as
students really enjoyed the pastries very much and we were more than pleased to
hear it. After the sales were over, we all lended a helping hand in cleaning up
the utensils and trays, sweeping the floor and washing the dishes.
At the end of the day, we were
blessed to have made a good profit, whilst enjoying ourselves. The Bake My
Heart Out Project was yet again another success, thanks to all our dedicated
Leos! The experiences that we have received are countless and very special. We
hope more Leo's will take part in this amazing project next time around.
