The pupils sitting National 5 Practical Cake Craft were hard at work today decorating these fantastic cakes – what a talented bunch.  Well Done.

Higher Health and Food Technology students visited Allied Bakeries at Springburn today where they learned how theory is put into practice in the food industry.  The students saw how new food products are developed, safety and hygiene issues in the food industry, mass production of food items and technological developments in the food industry.

This was a huge success and students were treated to a goody bag treat.

Many Thanks to Allied Bakeries, in particular Kenny Dunn who made it all possible.
