The students decorated and packaged a tray of heart-shaped cookies and cupcakes that they were able to share with family and friends. "Not only were they able to use their creativity," said adviser Chef Monica J. Lanczak, instructor of baking and pastry arts/culinary arts, "but they learned a lesson on merchandising, as well."
