Service: Charity Cupcakes

For the service part of CAS, I helped my mom bake cupcakes for a charity event in Baden. The cupcakes were for a charity which contribute to distributing waster, food, and educational supplies to the countries in need. I don't recall the name of this charity as it was my first time working for it. My mother and i made approximately 200 cupcakes and I'm not sure about the amount of money that was raised as i was not in charge of sales.

This project greatly helped involved time management as we could not do the cupcakes of a period of days as they had to be as fresh as possible. We had to manage our time greatly and over the course of 2 and half days all the cupcakes were done and ready. Not only did this activity help with time management, but also with team work as i had help from four to five people on of them including Carolyn from my class. These cupcakes were only done successfully as we  all worked together and helped eachother. Carolyn and I were mostly in charge of making the batter for the cupcakes and my mom and her fried did the decorations as we did not have the skills for it.

I truly enjoyed this experience and not only did i learn how to make great cupcakes but also it provided me with a great opportunity to better myself with time management, team work, and leadership.
