On Thursday, October 24th 2013, three of Reavis’s best Culinary Arts students competed in the 1st Annual Moraine Valley Community College Cup Cake Competition. Abigale Murabito, Mohammed Abdelchani, and Jocelyn Carmona had the task of designing and decorating 18 Halloween themed cupcakes in 1 hour and 30 minutes. They competed against 11 other schools in the surrounding area. They each showed off their individual skills, working as a team to mold fondant, pipe frosting, and design melting chocolates into three fantastic cupcake designs. In the heat of the competition when the unexpected happened, these three problem-solved and prevailed with 15 seconds to spare. All of their training, preparation, and hard work was well worth it. They each walked away with a piping bag, star tip, and spatula. We are so proud of these three and look forward to seeing what their bright futures hold.
