European Immigrants to America brought their cultures with them, including some iconic desserts which are now part of the American repertoire. One of the purposes of this course is to review the history of these now-classic cakes and pastries, to re-connect them with their country of origin, and to discover or rediscover the cultures of these countries through their pastries. This course is also a way for students to understand many of the cultural values and traditions of European nations. The students will practice new techniques and methods and continue to build and apply their skills in this specific baking area including crucial principles of safe food handling and sanitation.
