Central Texas College culinary arts students in the school’s Wedding Cake class won seven medals, including five first place awards and best culinary student honors in the “That Takes The Cake” Sugar Art Show and Cake competition held recently in Round Rock. The multi-faceted event, hosted by Capital Confectioners, is one of the largest cake shows in the United States.
Among the honors won by CTC was the Best of Division-Culinary Student award won by Rosa Carr. This marks the fifth consecutive year CTC has won this award. Carr’s cake, a five-tiered wedding cake entitled “Glistening Romance,” was intricately piped with royal icing featuring cornelli lace sotas technique, brush embroidery over piping string work accented with paper flowers and finished with a crystal bouquet. The cake also earned Carr first place in the Culinary Student Wedding Tiered Cake division.
