Core classes 8A and 8C have been working to design, develop and create a cookie that reflects a theme of a party. Students started by sketching and refining their ideas using feedback from peers, before constructing their own cookie cutter using aluminium foil.
Over the course of two weeks, they created their cookies and decorated them using either royal icing or fondant. They evaluated the process by identifying successes and challenges in the task, while also providing suggestions for improvements.

Students' Reflections
In this task I really enjoyed learning how to use fondant and royal icing. It was challenging to make the cookie cutter, but I was really happy with the final outcome. – Lily Sparkhall 8KE
There is a lot of thinking needed, and different steps to go through before creating the final product. I enjoyed that we were able to create our own designs and decorate them how we wanted to. I chose to create a pineapple cookie. – Charli Chapman-King 8KE
This task was lots of fun. I liked being able to use different types of icing and it was cool that we got to make our own cookie cutters out of the foil. – Charlotte Ciracovitch 8CD
I learnt that it is important to think about the actual design of a product, before you think about the final product, because it might not turn out how you want it to. – Abagail Zwarts 8BC
I enjoyed this task, as I learnt a lot more about baking and the work that goes into cookies, especially the decoration of the cookie and how to use icing and fondant. – Vanessa Chhun 8NA
