Congratulations Mrs. Gazaway!!!
Gazaway LOTW

A Sweet Celebration of Spring in Culinary Arts! 

Mrs. Gazaway’s culinary class welcomed spring with creativity, excitement, and a delicious hands-on lesson! Students whipped up scrumptious carrot cake cupcakes, each one crowned with a fondant carrot designed by the students themselves. The energy in the room was electric as everyone dove into the fun, combining baking skills with artistic flair.

Mrs. Gazaway kicked off the lesson with a detailed demonstration, guiding students through each step with care and enthusiasm. She shared a beautifully crafted example carrot, inspiring students to aim high and get creative with their designs. Her passion for the craft was contagious as she showed how to mix food-safe dye to achieve just the right orange tone, setting the stage for an engaging and skill-building experience.

As students got to work, the classroom buzzed with positivity. Mrs. Gazaway moved from table to table, offering personalized tips and encouragement, while also sharing group pointers to help everyone succeed. From using cocoa powder and toothpicks to create realistic “just-picked”effects, to mastering the tricky texture of fondant, students were supported every step of the way.

This joyful, hands-on activity brought smiles, boosted confidence, and showcased the amazing talents of our culinary students. What a beautiful—and tasty—way to celebrate the season and the art of baking!
