Students fill patrons' waking hours with truly sweet dreams
Tuesday, September 28, 2021
The Penn College community passing through the Keystone Dining Room lobby on Monday had the delicious opportunity to sample the innovations of students in the Bakery Operations and Product Development course. In the class, students develop a new product, market-ready for sale. That includes product testing, plus determining marketing and sales requirements.
The culminating project was Monday’s Trade Show, during which students provided inviting displays, product samples, menus, business cards and product pitches for such tasty concepts as: a traditional French macaron shop with less traditional flavors (like cinnamon toast crunch and raspberry pop rock); s’mores, sea salt caramel and gluten-free red velvet brownies; products with plant-based food colorings; gluten-free cakes and cookies; cheesecake in a jar; an Art of Food fine-dining restaurant; blueberry keto cheesecake bites; and many other equally tempting offerings.
