On the last day of classes, students in several School of Hospitality courses showed off final semester projects, meanwhile giving the Penn College community a chance to have a taste. Among those participating in the first Culinary & Pastry Experience were senior culinary arts and systems students in the Culinary Competition and Skills Assessment course, who prepared a full-size entrée and dessert, shown cold and judged on appearance, per American Culinary Federation competition rules, as well as deconstructed sample-sized portions served hot for judges and visitors. Similarly, students in the final semester of the baking and pastry arts major and enrolled in the Advanced Patisserie Operations course put their education in merchandising and product development to work, preparing a trade show booth environment complete with product samples, fliers, packaging and other marketing materials. Other courses displaying their final projects included Sugar Art, Principles of Chocolate Works, Cakes and Decorations, and Classical and Specialty Dessert Presentation.
