Having a thinner chocolate garnish is better. See how flexible it is. If the choc was thicker, it would snap. @viuniversity @viu.probake @VIUNews #ilearnhere #viu_baking #VIU #barrycallebaut #cacaobarry

Past and Present students! are you interested in making wedding and celebration cakes? We often get requests through the program for wedding cakes, and most times the timing doesn't work to do them with students.. If you are interested, send us contact information (email for sure, and any social media info would be nice). You should have a bit of a portfolio, as people may request to see work that you have done before, and perhaps even testimonials of past clients (or family or friends). Please email me directly at [email protected] as i can get that right away.
