Sometimes, even under difficult circumstances, you just have to go big and bold. That\u2019s what nine students in the University of Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> Maui College\u2019s<\/a> advanced baking class just did. They made sugar showpieces that would often pose challenges even for seasoned professionals. They worked long, hard hours and, in the end, produced spectacular results.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt it was important to let them go hog-wild,\u201d said Culinary Arts Program<\/a> Coordinator Teresa Shurilla<\/strong>, a renowned pastry chef<\/a> who is the class instructor. \u201cThis is the last big, showy project of their time here in our Culinary Arts Program. They needed something to inspire them after this difficult year. They\u2019re going out into a culinary world\u2014an entire world\u2014that has changed dramatically. I wanted them to do something they could be really proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said the students had to draw, design and execute their own visions, and every one of them came through enthusiastically and in grand style.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t always easy. There was some crying\u2026and some breakage! But in the end, we all had a moment together. And I think the results are amazing,\u201d Shurilla said.<\/p>\n
