Evaluation:

The recipe for the little carrot cakes was pretty successful, as the final product turned out a good shape, colour and size.However, we may have used too much carrot in the carrot cakes and this greatly impacted the final result. The cakes were slightly brown/golden colour. The carrot cakes looked very professional, but the grated carrot was very obvious and could be easily seen just by looking at the carrot cake. The carrot cakes did not appeal to my taste, but this was probably because i do not like carrot. This carrot cakes were very nutritious, it had many healthy ingredients and together, they made a nutritious treat. I feel that this recipe would probably not appeal to my target market, as the taste and aesthetics of the cake, are not as appealing as that of a cupcake with icing. The recipe could be improved by using less carrot and cooking the carrot cakes for slightly longer. Overall, the carrot cakes were a success, but supervision should always be provided by mum or dad.

Evaluation:

The recipe for the mini pizzas was extremely successful, as the final product turned out exactly how we had hoped. The cheese was melted perfectly was a slightly brown/golden colour. The pizzas looked very professional, but they tasted even better. This pizza was very nutritious, it had many healthy ingredients and together, they made a nutritious meal.I feel that my target market would thoroughly enjoy both preparing (with the help of mum or dad) and eating these pizzas. The recipe could be improved by being more leaniant with the ingredients permitted. Overall, the pizzas were a great success, however, there were a few accidents during the preperation and i actually burnt myslef whilst preparing this, so again, supervision should be provided by mum or dad.
