Secondly, they had experience of preparing cupcakes professionally in the workshop. During the seminar, young Syrians who want to work in this field learned the working conditions both in Turkey and throughout the world by understanding advantages of being multilingual individuals. They discussed about the common grounds through food culture and afterwards found an opportunity to taste their own cupcakes.
