Pupils made lots of dough when they sold baked treats at market stalls for the third task of Oasis Academy Isle of Sheppey’s The Apprentice.

The remaining entrants were split into two teams and given a budget of £20 to make as much produce as they could.

Jack Edgett, of Year 9, was in charge of We Bake You Buy and Dane Blackstock, of Year 7, led Team Masterchef.

Cookery teacher Sheila Ofori was with the budding bakers last Monday evening and Tuesday morning, providing them with the school facilities and support they needed.

The pupils made a wide selection of items including cheese straws, fruit tarts, mini-Victoria sponges, fairy cakes, brownies, rocky road, peanut butter fudge and shortbread.

They then sold them at Sheerness Market in Rose Street.

Team Masterchef was victorious with a total of £116 raised while We Bake You Buy sold £82 worth of produce meaning they had to undergo a grilling at the elimination on Friday.

The judges were Swale councillor Ken Pugh, Michelle Gobbi, owner of You Women in Sheerness, Mike Brown, of Sheppey Matters and Ms Ofori.

The leader of the losing side, Jack Edgett, was fired after he put his hands up for his team’s failure.

Sharon Wood, the school’s head of business, IT and enterprise, said: “Team Masterchef had a good position, they worked quite well as a team and they had everything labelled and priced, which really did help with regards to customers, and they also has extra stock.

“The reason We Bake You Buy lost was they ran out of stock. If they had enough stock it would have been really tight. If anything they may well have won because they were amazing.

“They sold really well, they took their wares out because they weren’t in a good position so they really thought outside the box.

“Jack was very admirable. He openly said that he should be the one to go because he felt he didn’t organise his team as well as the other team. He said this in front of Year 9 and 10 which was very courageous.”

Proceeds from the bake sale will go to Sheppey Age UK.

Next week’s task will see the contestants design and make bottle rockets to see which team can make theirs go furthest.
