Corporate Cake Off
Team Building
Team building and productivity are imperative to any business’s success. For your colleagues to be able to work together, get the best out of each other, rapport and friendly competition are of top priority.
So here at Khalid’s Kakes, we have put together a great day out for our corporate clients to help aid rapport, friendly competition, productivity and togetherness.
What we have planned for you.
3 teams of 2 will be placed against each other to create one of our cakes. Each team will be given instructions on how to create the perfect replication and will work together using their skills to read and understand the task given to them, to come together and use tools they may have never used before, to use their hand-eye coordination and general imagination.
Each team will have 4 hours to produce the cake and along the way, they will learn the necessary skills of how to buttercream, stack, fill, apply fondant and final decoration.
The teacher will work alongside each team but to a minimum and will be there for added help but if that added help is needed this will come at a cost of 10 minutes off their total time leaving the other teams more time to create a better cake. This will further the importance of working as a team and problem-solving.
At the end of the 4 hours the teacher will pick the best cake and the winners will get a trophy and be able to leave having beat their fellow colleagues while having fun doing so and eating their masterpiece.
We will also have a leaderboard where the winners can go against other businesses. They will see the cake created, the time it took to create it and how many time penalties were given. This will further the element of friendly competition.
Light refreshments will be available.
