Culinary Cake Display

Gabert Library

First floor, Reserves Desk

 

Kali D'Amato

  • Currently working as Assistant Pastry Chef at Son Cubano
  • Wants a career in cake designing and decorating
  • Chose HCCC because of affordability and location
  • Her assigned cake theme was bridal shower. "I'm a bit more unconventional so I designed a cake as if it were my own bridal shower and I incorporated books into my dark romance theme because I'm an avid reader

NHC Library

Emma Dooley

  • Evening pastry chef at Cho-o-Pain in Jersey City
  • Wants to specialize in frozen desserts and ice creams
  • Chose HCCC because it was one of the top culinary schools in NJ and was very affordable.
  • Her assigned cake theme was sweet 16. "The reason why I picked butterflies and flowers and more of a sophisticated color palette is because when a girl turns 16 she is blossoming and transforming into adulthood."
