(South Easton) - Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School’s Culinary Arts students spent Saturday, April 5, 2014, at the 7th Annual Skills USA Bristol Community College Cake Competition and came home with a 3rd place win with their cake based on the Disney hit movie “Frozen.” This is the 2nd year Southeastern Regional has participated.
Students collaborated with teammates to create 5 Disney theme cakes, from initial concepts and ideas through completion of their finished project, under the guidance of Culinary Arts instructor and Pastry Chef Courtney Silva.
“I am very proud of the students for the amount of stress and workload they took on. Each team completed their cake in just one week. It’s amazing to see the students find their own skills in situations such as this cake competition,” said Chef Silva. “They can use the friendly competition in their everyday lives. Even though we only had one group place, they knew that in my eyes they were all winners because they all performed so well.”The following Southeastern Regional teams participated in this year’s competition:
