Canapes

Canape Reception, HRC Architecture

The HRC Architecture company, Chichester hired us to make canapés for the reception they were hosting on November 28th 2013.

What was my role?

Between the class, we were put into pairs and each given a different canape to make. Annabel and I were given the task of making 50 cake pops. From the description, it seemed fairly simple but did prove more difficult and fiddly than anticipated. However, we did get them finished and got to decorate and present them how we wanted, alongside the rest of the canapes.



We then spent the evening serving our canapes and drinks as well.

What have I learnt?

This was my first time making both canapes and cake pops, so it was exciting to learn something new. It gave me the experience and understanding about producing something to a large volume, within a deadline (therefore, time management was vital) and ability to present something that appealed visually.

This event also gave us an opportunity to work as a team during service - the area we had to work in was very cramped and we had to be good at communication to ensure smooth running.
I hope to get another opportunity to work on canapés again and improve my skills on creating them.
