Cookie Monster, cupcakes topped with bacon, and even a decadent dessert with a sweet and salty pretzel—all creations of the FACS department’s newest program called “Baking & Pastry Arts” at MWHS!

This new course offers juniors and seniors the opportunity to master technical skills in pastry and cake creation, including the art of flavor pairing and plating. Crusaders also work with fondants, fillings, and frostings.

Through friendly competitions, students showcase their creativity in both food art and taste while consistently impressing their peers, teachers, and judges. The semester ends in a final concept cake creation, a project designed to bridge every technique practiced by students.

This course is truly a chef’s kiss! 🧑🏻‍🍳😘
