Pupils all set for bake off
Schoolkids proved they have what it takes in the kitchen during a cookery test.
Pupils from Glenburn Primary visited Prestwick’s Buzzworks Bakehouse.
It was part of the company’s #LoveFoodFeelGood campaign, designed to promote fresh ingredients and cooking from scratch.
The morning workshop saw 15 children get an introduction to baking and simple cookery skills.
They also enjoyed a tour of Elliots’ working kitchen and listened to short talks from Head Chef, Brian Canny.
General Manager, Holli Kerr, spoke to the children on working in hospitality.
Holli said: “The children threw themselves into creating some amazing cupcakes, all worthy of a place on the Great British Bakeoff, and the ‘ build your own homemade burger’ session certainly went down a treat.
“We have definitely seen some chefs of the future here.”
Karen Blackwood, Glenburn Primary School Depute Head Teacher, added: “The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit.
“Outings like this are ideal for our children to learn about the various careers in the hospitality industry and ties in nicely with our focus on Developing Young Workforce.
“I’m sure Buzzworks has certainly changed perceptions of hospitality as a career for many of the young people.”
