Sweet Competition
On day 1 of class, we melt sugar, temper chocolate, or build a layer cake for the first time. After eight weeks of classes and practice, we compete. We get to show everyone what we’re made of. 
“Competitions play a vital role in culinary arts as they continually raise the standards of culinary excellence. There is no better way for a culinarian to hone their craft than by putting their skills and knowledge to the test in a competitive format.”

Why Compete?
Simple. Through competition students push their limits and show their skills. Students learn the importance of balancing creativity with execution, how to plan their work and work their plan, how to take critique and also celebrate their craft. Competition puts students’ skillsets on display to the public.
