Pladis teamed up with Springboard UK’s Future Chef competition to challenge schoolchildren across the country to get creative in the kitchen and create a ‘Flipz inspired bake’. Over 100 pupils aged between 12 and 16 entered the competition for a chance of winning a range of prizes.
The overall winner was 14-year-old Reece Bosowitz, who created salted caramel and chocolate ganache tart, with white chocolate Flipz fudge and salted caramel Flipz ice cream. For his winning prize Reece received an entrance to a GAME Belong Party.
Scott Snell, vice president sales UK & Ireland at Pladis, said: “We are thrilled to have partnered with Springboard UK for this year’s Future Chef competition. It’s important to us to continue to inspire the next generation of talented chefs and support the hospitality industry during these difficult times.
“It’s been a pleasure seeing everyone’s brilliant entries and we are so impressed by their imagination and ability to bring Flipz to life! We are excited to see what this year brings for these talented chefs-to-be.”
Springboard’s Future Chef competition engages over 700 schools and 16,000 students every year.
Amanda McDade, head of careers and education at Springboard, added: “Springboard’s Future Chef was delighted to partner with Pladis to launch the FlipzBakez Challenge that saw 118 very talented young people from 12-16 year olds enter their creations.
“The competition standard was very high and each participant created something truly incredible using Flipz which made the judging quite a tough one. Every entrant should be proud of their achievement and we hope to see them participating in other challenges in the future.”
