Croissant Envy... and Now Danishes Too?! We’re not saying we’re jealous… but okay, we totally are. Our Culinary Arts students have been baking up a storm, and the results have been nothing short of mouthwatering. First up—our AM students wowed us by making croissants from scratch. Staff participated in a blind taste test, judging flaky layers and creative flavor combinations without knowing whose plate was whose. What a treat! Then our PM students brought their A-game in a Danish competition, crafting both sweet and savory Danishes that were equally impressive. Every bite was a showcase of skill and creativity. Congratulations to our winners! AM Winning Group: Reagan Golladay, Alexia Ramirez, and Kolton Hansford PM Winners: Brayan Farias and Hadasa Sanchez We are so proud of all the students for their incredible work. Hats off (and chef hats on) to these rising culinary stars—you’ve truly raised the bar!
