Iron Chef Barbeque Challenge - Corporate Team Building Activity in Ottawa



It’s Dolena here with another corporate event update from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events.

Today we are in the nation’s capital – Ottawa, where a national auto shop company is participating in the Iron Chef Barbeque Challenge. This group of 45 was split into seven teams where they have to cook a four-course meal, create a menu, and a beverage, while filling the pressures of beating the clock. The teams delegated roles and heated up the park with their delicious dishes. It was a great opportunity for everyone to contribute to their team with their own unique skills such as time management, creativity, presentation skills, communication, and of course, their talents with the grill. We had some teams make their very own homemade candy which was delicious, and sauces, and some teams made their dishes look beautiful – totally restaurant quality. With everyone being from all over Canada in this group, it was a great way for colleagues to take a break from their meetings and get to know each other in a fun and unique environment.

Cake Creators - Corporate Team Building Activity in Ottawa



It’s Dolena here with another corporate event update from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events.

We’re in Ottawa where a local company is participating in our Cake Creators event. There were 14 people in this group and most of them were new hires, so the goal was to welcome new members to their team and provide an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other in a non professional environment. These goals were definitely achieved. Everyone worked really well together and made some very creative cakes. Their use of different colors and candies really made the cakes one of a kind and you could see teams really working together to achieve the best results. The most exciting part about this event was definitely at the end with the presentations. Everyone got out of their comfort zones, there was singing and acting, there were decorative signs. Everyone really enjoyed themselves.

Iron Chef Challenge - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto

This is Marie, your event coordinator from Outback, back with another corporate event update.

We just held a scrumptious Iron Chef Barbecue challenge, where 7 teams went head to head in our kitchen academy to see who’s kitchen cuisine reign’s supreme. Our very sophisticated and competitive group of lawyers worked together as a team to skilfully create delectable dishes with limited resources available, using the mystery ingredient – Pineapple. Each of the beverage, appetizer, entrée and dessert dishes had to include this item and be presented to the esteemed judges for their deliberation. It was a tough ruling, but at the end of the challenge, only one team won the Iron Chef Barbecue Challenge winner.

Iron Chef Challenge Corporate Team Building Activity in Alberta

This is Kristen with another corporate event update.

Our latest event took our Calgary coordinators down to Drayton Valley, Alberta for an Iron Chef Challenge. This challenge took place at an oilfield service company’s office in their back parking lot. It was a perfect spot for the small group of about 20 people. Even though the group was small, they definitely got into it and loved cooking up a storm. Each group presented some amazing dishes for our judges and we all had a great time. It was great because the company was able to invite back one of their retired employees to be a special guest judge on this challenge. Everyone loved having this participant back in the company office and we all had a great time eating the fruits of their labor.

This is Kristen with another corporate event update.

Our latest event took the Alberta team out to Toronto, Ontario for an Iron Chef. This Iron Chef was for a 115 people at the beautiful Berkley Field Place. This highly competitive group had some added challenges to gain in extra materials. This event was all about celebration, so the energy was high, people were having a great time. We’re definitely surprised with the delicious culinary creations. This group definitely used their resources to find secret ingredients around the area.

Cake Creators Corporate Team Building Activity in Lake Louis

This is Kirsten from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

It’s the beginning of June and summer is starting up in Alberta. Our latest event took us out to the beautiful Fairmont Chateau, Lake Louis, where a large group of Travel Industry affiliates took part in a Cake Creators Challenge. This 2 hour event had people from all different companies and suppliers competing to create the best of the best in the cake creating world. As their conference was about branding, this group was tasked with creating cakes based on fictitious travel companies. The group got creative with company names such as Moose Tracks Travel, Casino Royale Travel, and Monkey See Monkey Do Travel. The bigwigs of this event were the judges and we saw lots of bribery, including drinks and hundred dollar bills. In the end, I think these travel professionals should change their career path to cake creating extraordinaires.

Tastiest Cake Creators - Corporate Team Building Event in Mississauga



Hi this is Alexis from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

This week we are in Mississauga for a Cake Creators event in our client’s luxurious office space. Participants in this fun and engaging team builder had a great time designing, decorating and advertising their fantastic cake creations. Some of the teams were so creative that they turned their cakes into wildly colourful 2 foot tall sculptures. This relaxing afternoon was the perfect reward for our hard working team that’s recently been working above and beyond call of duty to meet short deadlines. Everyone enjoyed collaborating and creating and eating the fruits of their labor at the end of the day.

Sweet Corporate Team Building Activity in Calgary



Hi this is Jill with another corporate event update.

It is Nov 12th and we’re here in beautiful Calgary and we have just completed a Cake Creators for a small group. We only have 4 teams but it was such a fantastic event for these guys. They have been doing meetings in the hotel in the morning and wanted a different dynamic event for their afternoon’s activity, having it still in their meeting space, so the Cake Creators was a great fit for them. We decided on a theme of “Baby Shower”. They have an employee of theirs that is heading on maternity leave soon, so they wanted to celebrate her time with the company so we had a really fantastic theme today because people took it to the next level. There are some really amazing cakes, done with a lot of skills and everyone was really impressed with everyone else’s results, and probably my favourite part of this event was, seeing the collaboration between teams is probably some of the best collaboration I have ever seen between teams and a group and the reason for this was, even though they are competing against each other, they were still willing to help each of the teams out. So over all, everyone else does better, which I thought was such a fantastic mantra for their company to have and it was just a really great vibe at the end of the event and everyone was really excited to be able to take the cakes back to the office to show it off to their colleagues and the winning team was very excited to have their winning cake up there as well. So really great event, our team really enjoyed working with these guys and having their Cake Creators event be such a success and looking forward to the next one with them.

Teams were asked to present their glorious masterpiece dishes at the specific time to the judge’s table for scoring. At the end, the victory went to the team that took the risk of creating something new with all the ingredients provided.
