FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) students have started their cake decorating for a state competition. The theme is "Reach for the Stars" and the students will decorate Styrofoam cakes with buttercream icing and homemade fondant. Mrs. Schmitt will reveal the end cakes in a couple of weeks before the students will go to the state competition. The students will also write a paper accompanying their cake designs.
Our snow day on Wednesday threw a wrench into our plans, but the Foods II students rolled with it. The students changed the Fruit/Vegetable lab to a one day lab. Mrs. Schmitt bought the groceries last Thursday night and the students made their food on Friday. Mrs. Schmitt thought they were amazed that fruits and vegetables taste so good when prepared correctly.
