Car Boot Cake Bake


Bessie, your long lost Auntie, has given you the chance to bake some cakes and wants you to sell them at her local car boot sale on

Sunday morning.

In this Functional Skills unit you will have to

think like a baker

L.Obj : to use weights and money in real life contextWhat maths will a baker use?


You will have to buy the ingredients from one of your

local corner shops. The amount of baking time and preparation time you have will be enough

for 25 cakes.

You can bake as many different types of cakes or

sausage rolls as you like and will be able to sell everything

you bake (nobody knows YOU baked them!)


You must make exactly 25 cakes of whichever type

you choose, the ingredients you need to buy are

available but you must buy all the ingredients in one of

two shops.

You will be given a sheet detailing the price people are willing to pay for one

of Bessie’s cakes.


Being such a great aunt, Bessie has given you her

secret recipe sheet to bake from, and a big oven

to bake them in.


To help you with the ingredients you need, there are two local shops that will give you a discount

on their prices.

Danny’s Discount DelicaciesGive 10% discount on all

purchases

Farman’s Fancy Foodstuffs Give £1 off for every complete £20 spent


To help you decide what to bake and how much you will need for

each food item, you will be given a workings sheet for each

type of cake.

Fill in the number of cakes you are going to make and the ingredients you will need to buy and from where in the columns as shown


To help you work out the benefits of Danny’s Discount and Farman’s Fancy

foodstores .... Fill in this table with your final decisions and the profits you have made.

ImportantThe ingredients you buy must be in full packets.

If you have any leftovers they will

be in Bessie’s cupboard ready for the next car

boot sale!!


Once you have worked out the cost and money you get from the sales, you will need to show the money you have made on the

customary A3 poster along with the money and cakes........
