The design process

Hello people,

In Home Economics we have been making our final piece of work, We had a stakeholder to test the food we made and then gave us feedback on if it was good or could be better. We needed a shopping list,time management,costing,and recipe. once we picked who we want to have we emailed them to ask what their favorite flavors are and if they have any dietierts.

My group was planning on savory muffin but they didn't fit the thing they had to make like how long they cook how much they make. then we had blueberry mini muffins which we found the perfect one but they were too long to cook so we made them mini and they turned out good.

Mikayla and Hunter asked me if I would taste test a batch of it.

7 - Blueberry cupcakes they made period 4 today.

They were delicious !

All of the cupcakes were easy to remove from the paper cups they were cooked in.

The sponge of the cakes was soft and tasty. Not in any way doughy or overly moist.

Some of the cakes were nice and crunchy on top, while others were just cooked to perfection.

The taste of blueberries was mouth watering, not overpowering, there seemed to be many flavours that added to the appeal of the cupcakes.

The amount of sugar that was used also added to the taste. 

I am not a fan of cakes being too sweet and these cupcakes were super.

Thanks for the opportunity to taste them. 

You are obviously a great team.

I think we worked really well but we did forget the vegetable oil but they still tasted good with the amount we put. we got though the time and had some time at the end
