Bake A Singapore!

Bake a Singapore was a National Day community event held on 4 Aug 2012, Serangoon CC organized by PAYM. Together with their partners and volunteers, the team aimed to create a whopping 5m x 8m Singapore flag mosaic made entirely out of cookies!

This was their progress at 5pm. Almost done and by 7.30pm when the flag was finally completed, it would take the coveted title of the World's Largest Flag Mosaic in Guinness Records.

Guess how many cookies were needed? 22,500. Every cookie was painstakingly baked by hand a day before the event, even the organizers' hands and clothes were visibly stained by the red dye used in the baking process. So the red cookies were coated with red icing, while the white cookies were coated with white chocolate!

Five stars arising! (Crescent is coming up soon!)

While the volunteers neatly put every cookie in place, people were welcomed to take a look at the progress of the cookie flag formation and were treated to Free Ben&Jerrys, balloon sculptures for kids, and even manicures in red and white.

I was highly impressed by the team's commitment and tenacity to pull off such a huge scale cookie bake-off. Isn't this a great way to show your love for SG?



Thanks Sandy for the invite!
