Pelatihan Produksi Kue Lapis Untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Masyarakat Desa Murung Karangan

Abstract

Community service is one of the efforts undertaken by higher education institutions to enhance community welfare and self-reliance through the strengthening of knowledge and skills. One of the problems faced by rural communities is the limited productive business skills that can be developed as an additional source of income, particularly for housewives. In Murung Karangan Village, Amuntai Utara District, Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, the potential for home-based food processing businesses has not been optimally utilized, despite the availability of sufficient raw materials and community interest. This Community Service activity aims to increase community knowledge and skills through training in layered cake production as one form of home business development. The implementation methods include material delivery, demonstration of layered cake making, hands-on practice by participants, and explanation of production cost calculations and selling price estimation. The results of the activity indicate that this training was able to improve participants' understanding and skills in the layered cake production process, from ingredient processing to product packaging. Furthermore, participants gained basic insights into business opportunities and simple business management. This activity is expected to encourage community economic independence and serve as an initial step in developing micro-enterprises based on local potential in Murung Karangan Village
