In honour of the European Day of Languages, Bangkok Patana School hosted a deliciously creative competition — The Great Patana Bake Off. This year’s theme, “Day of Languages,” invited students to express their love for languages and cultures through baking, with a fun twist: each entry had to represent a language or country, and participants were encouraged to take a selfie with their creation and submit it for judging.

From iconic landmarks to national symbols, the entries were as diverse and imaginative as the languages they celebrated. Students from across year groups participated, earning house points, diplomas and a chance to win one of the top three prizes.

And the winners are…

Juliette Corker, 4H wowed the judges with her stunning Big Ben cake, a tribute to London and the English language.

Janis, 8S and Elsie, 4C teamed up to represent Thailand and Spain. Janis showcased Thai culture, while Elsie decorated mini cupcakes with Spanish flags and the word “Hola,” celebrating the language she’s currently studying.

Jayda and Darius, 3S brought Malaysia to life with a vibrant cake featuring the durian, Twin Towers, Nyonya Kebaya costume, lion dance, and hibiscus — Malaysia’s national flower. Darius added a whimsical touch with a flower cake and fish mooncakes swimming in a lotus pond.

The Bake Off was a delightful way to blend culinary creativity with cultural appreciation, reminding everyone that language learning can be both meaningful and fun — especially when cake is involved.
