Blog #7: Independent Component 1 Approval

1) Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

      According to my mentorship at City Thai Cuisine, I would like to invent a Thai Tea cupcake and Mango Sticky Rice cupcake to this restaurant. It's a combination between Thai and America culture food. This idea inspires by having inadequacy of selling desert at the restaurant. I want to create something unique but yet eatable for others. I will start off this independent component by learning how to bake a cupcake. After that I will adapt into Thai version for both cupcake and designing the presentation of the cupcakes.

             

Thai Tea cupcake

• Adding the thai tea as the base of cupcake. (http://www.bowenappetit.com/2012/05/30/thai-iced-tea-cupcakes-with-condensed-milk-buttercream/) 
• Using half and half as the frosting. 
• Sprinkles on top of the frosting.

Mango Sticky Rice cupcake

• Using Pandan as the base of the cupcake. (http://bakehappy.net/2014/08/pandan-cupcakes-pandan-cream-cheese-frosting.html)
• Adding the mango and sticky rice on top of it.

        This is just only the producing the products. Following plan that I have is selling them at the restaurant within a month. I will collect the data about how much do I sell, profits, and the initial expenses. when I sell these cupcakes, I will create a flyer and adverting it as well. I will hand out the survey for complimenting and criticizing.

2) Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence. 

     

       I personally believe that I will make this over 30 hours due to the selling time can't just estimate only 30 hours plus all the time that I have to learn how to make the cupcakes delicious and presentable. I will learn how to make a cupcake and frosting from the cooking book. Also, I will learn how to make sticky rice and thai tea from my mentors. I will prove this process by taking pictures and creating the video for this component. Beside that I will link to my daily accounting for this particularly expenses and the survey.

3) Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

    

         I believe this component will help me explore my topic in depth by learning skills hands-on that the owner should have such as know how to cook, advertise, and manage in the restaurant. I think that will be a good starter for me to experience how it was like to manage part of the restaurant sell in real life with customers.
