BHS Bake Shoppe Classes Compete in Cupcake Wars

The BHS Bake Shoppe classes recently competed in Cupcake Wars and The Great Cake Bake competitions. For each of the battles, each team was required to create entries by finding a recipe, coming up with a theme and team name and then baking their cupcake or cake and decorating it the next day to present to a panel of judges made up primarily of BHS teachers and staff.

Judges were required to rate teams on the cleverness of their team name, presentation and taste. Teacher Joe Fredal also rated kitchen cleanliness at the end of each cooking day and assigned a rating based on how difficult it was to make the product to round out the scoring. 

The winning teams for the Cupcake Wars were:

• 1st Hour: The Brookie Monster Mob with a Cookie Monster themed brookie (Asher Averbuch, Grant Gershonowicz, Jackson Gold, Brendan Mullane, Chris Newby)
• 2nd Hour: The Berry Sweet Squad with a lemon raspberry cupcake (Nahla Hannah, Lou M’Backe, Nataurus McIntosh, Destiny Merian, Serena Warns)
• 5th Hour: Pumpkin Spice Showdown with a pumpkin spice cupcake (Hudson Bayour, Morgan Bayour, Asher Dean, Noah Lambertsen)

The winning teams for the Great Cake Bake were:

• 1st Hour: The Swamp Squad with a Shrek themed chocolate cake (Asher Averbuch, Grant Gershonowicz, Jackson Gold, Brendan Mullane, Chris Newby) tied with the Spidermaniacs with a Spiderman themed vanilla cake with strawberry filling and frosting (Parker Daguano, Case Golan, Quinn Golan, Aiden Young)
• 2nd Hour: Bake It ‘Til You Make It with a white cake with strawberry filling and whipped cream frosting (Henry Daniel, Skyler Gibson, Alyssa Ostrand, Riah Powell, Makayla Rigoulot)
• 5th Hour: The Glutenous Gamers with a Pacman themed Funfetti cake (Hudson Bayour, Morgan Bayour, Asher Dean, Noah Lambertsen)

The students enjoyed the fun competition and Mr. Fredal rewarded the winners with a pizza luncheon.
