The Great Loreto Bake-Off

The aroma of beautiful baking filled the corridors of Loreto College on Friday 2nd February.  14 students divided into Junior and Senior Categories put on their aprons and participated in the Great Loreto Bake-Off.

Under the supervision of Ms. McDermott and Ms. Greene, our Home Economics Kitchen became a scene of culinary creativity as eggs, flour, sugar, butter and a myriad of other colourful ingredients were mixed, whisked, sculpted and baked.

The Junior Competition involved students having to bake a 1 tier cake, iced and decorated in a theme of their choice.  Senior students also had to bake a single tier cake, iced and decorated, but theirs had to have a nature theme.

The competing students were:
