In this live learning lab students execute fundamental baking skills learned in previous classes. In an on-campus retail bakery café environment, students practice the skills of controlling inventory, analyzing sales, and operating a complete bakery. Students prepare, display, and present savory items, pastry products, and signature baked goods according to Montgomery County Health Codes, and all rules will be adhered to per compliance. In this working lab students will experience the realities of producing various quantities, customer demands, and front of the house operations of an actual bakery café. Students are required to have a professional chef's uniform to participate in class according to departmental uniform policies. Students are also required to complete an additional 120 hours worked in the industry or at campus events which will account for 10% of the student's grade. This course is subject to a course fee.
