I believe that the cupcake contest connects to the core competencies. During the making of my cupcakes, me and my partner had to think and create ideas for themes/designs which lead to us having to communicate if we agreed each other’s ideas or not. Me and my partners communications skills were great. We talked about who was going to bring what supplies and during the making we agreed to having certain tasks to make the process go faster.
In the Bannock taco lab, I had to put my communication skills to use as my group and I talked and made decisions about the spices, flavors, and vegetables we wanted to include. This lab was easy for me because I already had experience with cutting, cooking, and making dough. However, my role in this lab was focused on cooking the meat, so I didn’t participate in making the dough. Through this experience, I gained more knowledge in cooking meat and learned the importance of making sure there was no pink left. Moving forward, I am excited to improve my bread making skills and create delicious dough just like my dad.
