🐤Hopping into Easter!🐇
Students in the Multi-Occupational Foundations class at the Ormsby Educational Center recently made old-fashioned sugar eggs as part of their Culinary Unit.
According to instructor Kathy Sitarek, the unit includes reading recipes, measuring ingredients, and making healthy meal options, along with some fun desserts.
For their sugar eggs, students used molds to shape the sugar and then decorated them with royal icing.
“To add a special surprise, a bunny rabbit from the Small Animal Science program visited and hid their creative Easter eggs in baskets,” Sitarek said.
Great job, everyone! 🐰🐇🐣
