Pâtisserie showcase impresses
15 Dec 2010
Macaroons, mousse, meringues and more were on show at the highly anticipated showcases for first and second year pâtisserie students.
AUT's Piko restaurant's blacked out windows gave away no clues as to what lay beyond and the efforts students had been to in order to showcase a year's worth of learnings.
Once a year families and AUT staff are invited to view and eventually taste students pâtisserie work at Piko restaurant.
The photos below are from the first year students wedding themed showcase and also from second year students who had the trickier task of producing a buffet presentation consisting of seven components. These particular items had to relate to a theme each student had chosen for their presentation.
