Pastry Live Weekend - Student Chocolate Challenge Scholarship Winners Announced

Sept. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Pastry Live is proud to announce that Elizabeth Seiz is the winner of the first place $2,500 scholarship for the Student Chocolate Challenge competition. The Student Chocolate Challenge, sponsored by the International Culinary School at the Art Institute of Atlanta, gave current Art Institute culinary students the chance to win three different scholarship prizes.

Six advanced pastry students competed to gain the coveted prizes, but Elizabeth Seiz was awarded the title of first place. Her showpiece expressed to the judges good technique and clean work, but she also included skilled artistry in her design through hand painted pieces and piped chocolate leaves. Second place and a $1,500 scholarship went to Breanna Kinkead, who showed true craftsmanship through carved details in her showpiece, while Jennifer Tyler’s solar system inspired creation earned her the third place scholarship of $1,000.

Additional competitors Deanna Johnson, Elizabeth Robertson and Kathleen Suzanne Thomas also showed true drive and determination in their showpieces. Each displayed a high level of commitment and professionalism in their work and should be proud of their accomplishments.

Pastry Live wishes to congratulate each of the winners and thanks all of the competitors for their hard work and participation.
