Culinary Art students made tasty Valentine’s Day treats.

Students made red, white and pink frosted cookies. They started making the delicious cookies in the beginning of the week. Around Friday they wrapped up the frosted cookies for delivery.

Emily Henry, 11, said, “Making these treats was very enjoyable. Me and the other students had a lot of fun making them. Baking and cooking is always an adventure. I get to learn new valuable skills everyday.”

Culinary students studying under teacher Leandra Walls sometimes make holiday based foods or treats.

Chefs work with a team of bakers and cooks to prepare, bake and decorate their food, and must keep their team organized and motivated. Chefs also create recipes or follow existing ones, using a creative flair to their craft.
