Dessert Factory
Investigation
What?
Dessert Factory is a new online enterprise that consists of an online page where people worldwide can buy
healthy and vegan dessert recipes. The recipes are a healthier option for everyone’s favorite desserts and also an
amazing option for people that follow a vegan lifestyle.
Who?
All of the recipes will be chosen wisely. I will choose and/or modify the recipes to make them healthier and
vegan. These recipes are for people that follow a different lifestyle such as veganism or vegetarianism or just
person that want to have a healthier life but also enjoy delicious guilt free treats.
How?
Most of the recipes will be chosen from different pages and would have a healthier swap or a vegan swap.
Most of the recipes will be chosen from:
 Amy’s Healthy Baking
 http://amyshealthybaking.com/
 Bloglovin’
 https://www.bloglovin.com/

3.  Chocolate Cover Katie
 http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/
Why?
I want to sell these recipes because people now are trying to be healthier. People want to have a better life but
also enjoy their favorite treats. Also because people think that veganism don’t offer as many options in cakes or
treats because most of the desserts are made with eggs and milk.
A healthier life made people happier, and they improve their lifestyle and I want to show the world that a
healthy lifestyle do not limit your food choices.

4. Stage 2 – CRITERION B – DEVELOPING IDEAS
 You shouldcreate AT LEAST two differentdesignsofthe SAME product.
 Each designand its evaluationshouldbe done on a separate sheetof paper.
 In theory, everydesignshouldbe BETTER than the one before it.
Design #1 – DETAILED drawing that includes ALL of the designspecifications outlinedinthe directions.
Youcan describe the size,location,and color of the designin a separate sentence.
My project will be creating on an online page name wix.com where you can create your own online web page.
This web page will include my video, products, location, mission, vision, infographic, multimedia presentation
and my journal.
The entrepreneur is just managed by me and the location of the office is on my house.
DESIGN ANALYSIS
Good (be detailed – tell why; use the word because)
I created a beautiful web page and
solve the entire question or the final project.
I became a more organized person because I had to
manage my type to complete my goals.
The final design of the web was just like I imagine
and using wix was really useful to complete my
goals.
Bad (be detailed – tell why; use the word because)
It was difficult to create a web page.
Sometimes the page collapse but I manage to solve
these problems.
It was difficult sometimes to solve the problems
when I used piktochart.
Design #2 – DETAILED drawing that includes ALL of the designspecifications outlinedinthe directions.
Youcan describe the size,location,and color of the designin a separate sentence.

5. Stage 3 – CRITERION C – CREATING THE SOLUTION
STEP BY STEP PLAN – (so detailed that someone else can create it and it would look the same as yours –
what, where, why, how…you do not need to write anything obvious, like “turn on the computer”)
TELL ME HOW TO MAKE IT! – You can also draw a picture to help clarify your description.
I should see all parts of the DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS in your creation steps.
Please feel free to write your plan on separate paperinstead of in the limited space on this sheet.
1. First I came up with the idea of making an online web page where people can buy vegan recipes.
2. I learn to use wix by using YouTube videos and reading about this web page.
3. I decorate create my online web page.
4. I research about many pages that create healthy recipes and I turn them vegan.
5. I found piktochart more useful than power point or cmap. I could made beautiful presentations in a more
efficient way.
6. I create a video with my products using iMovie.
7. I add my video, infographic, and media presentation tomy new online web page.
8. I used google maps to put the location of my office.
You can use the back if you need more room!!
The MATERIALS I will use are
Internet
iMovies
Piktochart
Wix
*****THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD CREATE YOUR PRODUCT*****
What was GOOD about my PLAN (not my product) was
That I organize myself and my time to create best final project.

6. What was BAD about my PLAN (not my product) was
It was difficult to answer to some questions because my project didn’t need more employees a “real” product
that need any manufacturing.
The MODIFICATIONS/CHANGES I made to my plan were
I didn’t answer the question in order because sometimes I found easier to solve some question and others
require more time.
