Thursday, 2nd July 2026 at 1:44pm

Level 3 Business Studies students are selling their wares and would love your support!

Keep an eye out for their unique products at a Market near you (or) be sure to check out some of their stalls during GBHS's Open Evening (Wednesday 22 July, 3.30pm - 7.00pm).

Bombshell Bakes ‘Crack first, then fall in love’ (products also available during Open Evening)
@bombshell.bakes.nz "We have taken the idea of cupcake mixes and turned them into a sustainable single serve option. Instead of a plastic packaging we have encased our dry mixture inside a chocolate bombshell. Simply crack it open, add butter, water, mix well, microwave and enjoy. Using the best quality ingredients such as Whittakers chocolate this is a treat that will fulfill any of your cravings. Check out our website to see images of our product, ingredient lists, step by step process and to buy yours today."
