Report on Bake My Heart Out IV

The bake my heart out project is back again and it's better than ever! On 29th August 2013, a bake my heart out project was organised yet again to raise funds for the club. Around 15 Leos volunteered to help out. This activity was carried out at the SMK Assunta cooking room at approximately 10.30a.m until 1.05p.m. The project was fun and educational without a doubt. It also gave us some time to strengthen our bond amongst each other. This project was successful but trials and errors had to be endured. The project started with the O.C, Leo Wan Khadijah, gathering the volunteers and after explaining to us what we would have to do in order to bake the turnovers, everyone was ready to do their part. Everyone was assigned to their own station to maximize space and save time. Little obstacles such as limited supply of pastry sheets, minimal capacity of the ovens and even the shortage of apple filling were dealt with superb diligence. As the delectable pastries were put into the over to bake, the O.C along with her team, discussed on the price and packaging of the turnovers. After that was settled, it was time to cool and pack the apple turnovers so that it would be ready to be sold to hungry students and teachers. It was impressive how fast those little pastries sold out. Moreover, considering how well the turnovers did on the first day, the project was extended and was carried out on 30th August too. Of course, everyone also lent a hand into cleaning the cooking room. We made about RM 250 in profit. All in all, it was a good experience especially for those who have never done this before. Hopefully, more Leos would be keen on participating in this project in the near future.
