The aroma was enticing, the flavors captivating. The pastry and bakery training held at Sopo Daganak, Napa Village, Batangtoru District, from June 10-15, 2024, was like a delectable symphony that opened the doors to ‘sweet’ new opportunities for 19 culinary entrepreneurs in the mining area. Guided by four skilled instructors from Nazwa Aneka Kue Medan, led by Nazliana, the participants delved into the world of pastry and bakery with great enthusiasm. Stunning bread and pastry creations emerged from the hands of the skilled participants, ready to take them to culinary success.
Twenty types of culinary products from six categories were practiced together, ranging from wet cakes, bread, to pastries, which the participants could taste directly. As an evaluation, on the last day of training, the participants were asked to bring one type of product from the recipes they learned. Of all the products brought, 95% were rated good by the instructor team.
