✨️🏅Pastry Cup 2024 - Finals🏅✨️ The Pastry Cup is finally done!!! It was an awesome experience, and it was wonderful to see talented students in our program create their own versions of each component ✨️ There was A LOT of ups and downs for everyone, especially between school, working, internships, and life in general ( ￣▽￣) But nonetheless, it was great and I couldn't ask for a better partner for the competition with @kottonsea @__kapp who was patient and understanding (and of course mega talented!!) 🌸 💖 Also HUGE congrats to those placed!!! It was well deserved and I feel so inspired by the wonderful creations every team made 🏅 I know I'm late to posting, but I definitely needed a few days to recover from the craziness of finishing school and the competition!

Great day learning about rice farming and risotto in Isola della Scala near Verona. We learned about the growing and processing of the Nano rice grain typical of the region. We finished our tour at Pila Vecia to see the 120 year old, water powered mill that is still in use today and a tasting of the local specialty Risotto All’isolana.

Parmigiano Reggiano production at Caseificio Marano in Parma. What an amazing experience. We watched the procedure from fresh milk to coagulation, cutting, shaping, brining and ageing. The ageing cave is spectacular and photos do not do it justice. We tasted 24 month, 36 month and 48 month aged parmigiano reggiano. So good.

The day has finally arrived! @pastrychef13 and I are so incredibly excited to take this amazing group of culinary and baking students with us to Italy and France on a 16 day gastronomic adventure through the heart of the culinary, pastry and wine world. This trip has been years in the making and marks our first return since 2019. Tonight we will fly into Rome, Italy then make our way north through Grosseto, Montenero, Florence, Modena, and Parma before heading west over to Lyon, France then straight south to finish up in Marseille and Cassis. Each stop is an experience to last a lifetime. Italia, ci vediamo presto! France, à bientôt! #humberstudyabroad #humberitalyfrance2023 #humberculinary #humberbpam #humberbaking @humberbakingandpastryarts @humberbusiness @humberglobal @humbercollege
Simple contrasting glam for a Sephora themed birthday set a couple of weeks ago! So subtle but sooooo cute! These guys are my mini donuts, about 3” in diameter after frying. Double glazed and pillowy soft on the inside, they are the PERFECT addition to your next sweet table!
Love the pulled sugar ribbons. #bpam #humberbpam #sugar #sugarart

"S'mores", a smokey marshmallow with a graham cracker crumb marshmallow inside a dark chocolate shell. Did you know that I'm classically trained? Spent 3 years @humbercollege @humberbakingandpastryarts to help get me to where I am today. This flavor is actually the one that started it all. For one of my classes, I had to develop a confection to go into a box for Valentine's Day. Eventually, I decided on s'mores but wanted to elevate it. How can I make it taste similar to a proper one done in a campfire? Well, your girl found a way to incorporate that smokiness from a campfire to bring you a true s'mores flavor. Fun fact: Due to my religious beliefs, I don't eat pork, so I personally use fish gelatin so I am able to make things like marshmallow and mousse cakes (hint at something I'llbe offering this Valentine’s Day). #humbercollege #humberbpam #smoreschocolate #smoresflavor #smorestime #chocolatier #chocolatebonbons #kwawesome #kitchener #kitchenerwaterloo #kitchenerbakery #handmademarshmallows #handmadechocolate #artisanchocolate
