🍰 Bake it Happen: From Kitchen to Cash! 💰
PharmaPRENEUR - Project PEDIA-GERIA TRICKS (Transforming Individuals through Comprehensive Knowledge and Services) Phase II.

The aroma of success filled the air during Session 2 of PharmaPRENEUR, held last May 16, 2025. The session, aptly titled “Bake it Happen: From Kitchen to Cash,” was a sweet success as participants immersed themselves in the basics of baking through an engaging lecture and live demo led by Ms. Princess Rabago, a passionate faculty member of the Pharmacy Department and a proud certified Mommy-Baker. Two delightful baked goods were demonstrated, and with great enthusiasm, participants rolled up their sleeves and recreated the treats themselves.

To turn this passion into profit, Mr. Crystal James T. Polendey, the Project Leader and Activity Coordinator, gave a lecture on Product Costing, teaching participants how to price their baked creations and transform their kitchen skills into a thriving income stream.

🔥 Up next: Session 3 is just around the corner! Stay tuned for more flavorful lessons and entrepreneurial inspiration!
