Star Career Academy Students Compete in All Star Bake Off

NEW YORK - March 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Cupcakes are one of the hottest dessert items and Star Career Academy culinary students from three states will compete in an All-Star Bake Off to determine the Star Career Academy Cupcake Champ.  The Bake-Off will be held at the school's Long Island (NY) campus, located at 125 Michael Drive in Syosset, N.Y. on Friday, April 11 from 8 a.m. to noon.

Teams of two from the Professional Baking programs from the Long Island, N.Y., Philadelphia, Pa. and Newark, N.J. campuses will compete to see who is the king or queen of cupcakes among Star Career Academy students.

Teams of cooking school students will have two-and-a-half hours to produce four-dozen of their very best cupcakes.  Each cupcake must have three components - cake, filling and icing - and all cupcakes must be identical.  The Long Island team gets “home kitchen advantage” for this year’s competition after winning last year’s inaugural contest.

"Our culinary students are being prepared to work in professional kitchens throughout the region – and the country,” said Chef Victory McNulty, director of culinary and hospitality programs at Star Career Academy.  "A competition like this provides a pressure-packed environment that can only help students be prepared for the working kitchen.”

All team's recipes are required to be submitted in advance in order to allow Chef McNulty a chance to approve ingredients.  A panel of judges will base scoring on taste, decoration and originality.

Competition sponsors include Mercer Cutlery, Ace Endico Food Purveyors and Ultimate Image Uniforms.
