Remington College-Dallas Campus Pastry Arts Students Take the Cake in Texas Baking Competitions

November 1st, 2011

Students in the Remington College-Dallas Campus Pastry Arts Diploma Program have racked up more than a baker’s dozen awards in culinary competitions throughout Texas.

As part of the pastry arts curriculum, students put their baking and confection skills to the test against professional chefs, restaurant owners and others in a variety of competitions and categories. Teams from Remington College-Dallas Campus have won several prestigious awards at the 2011 Southwest Foodservice Expo, the North Texas Cake Sugar Art Show and the annual ChocolateFest in Grapevine.

Students have won awards in a variety of categories, including “Celebration Cake,” “Sculpted Cake” and “Special Techniques Not on a Cake.” Other competitions focused on chocolate, where students created dulce de leche truffles, white chocolate cakeballs, Parisian macaroons, raspberry ganache tarts and other delicacies.

“We’re very proud of our students and how far they’ve come,” said Pastry Arts Department Chair Kate Schroeder, known as Chef Kate. “We’re looking forward to more competitions, fundraisers and opportunities for them to test their skills. We also look forward to seeing our students graduate and become successful in the pastry arts field.”1

Competition can be fierce on the baking circuit. The Southwest Foodservice Expo drew several thousand participants, and nine Remington College pastry arts students won medals for their efforts. Students created their entries on campus during time between classes. “Our students spent an average of about 50 hours of solid work on their projects,” said Chef Instructor Todd Pagan. “They learned a lot about their craft and how to better themselves and their art, and they are all very deserving of the recognition they received.”

The Pastry Arts Diploma Program is designed to help people turn their taste for baking into a fun and challenging potential career. Classes focus on practical skills and hands-on experience and include:

  • Introduction to Pastry Arts
  • Baking Methodology
  • Artisan Breads and Rolls
  • Cakes and Icing

Detroit Michigan CCW Classes Instructor Calls For Answers About Sheriff’s Escapee

January 27th, 2011

Detroit, Michigan – Jan. 7, 2011 – Rick Ector, a National Rifle Association (NRA) Credentialed Firearms Trainer based in Detroit Michigan, is calling for answers about the conditions that allowed a convict to escape the custody of Wayne County Sheriff Deputies.

A couple of days ago, convicted rapist Willie B. Wright managed to over-power assigned deputies and effect an escape from a hospital during a scheduled medical appointment. According to Ector, the metro-Detroit region was unnecessarily subjected to the prospect of being harmed by an escapee with a known violent past.

Ector states, “This incident is unacceptable. There is no way that a person, who was convicted of a litany of violent offenses, should have been put into an environment in which he could escape and pose a serious and credible threat to our community.”

Ector’s call for an explanation was posted yesterday on his blog, “Legally Armed In Detroit,” after he perceived that Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon is being reluctant to talk about the incident. Ector adds, “Our Sheriff owes us some answers and we want them now to ensure that there won’t be other prisoners escaping the custody of law enforcement and endangering the safety of our community.”

Rick Ector is a National Rifle Association credentialed Firearms Trainer, who provides Michigan CCW Class training in Detroit for students at his firearms school – Rick’s Firearm Academy of Detroit. Ector is a recognized expert in firearm safety and has been featured extensively in the national and local media: Associated Press, UPI, NRAnews, Guns Digest, Tactical-Life, The Truth About Guns, The Politics Daily, Fox News Detroit, The Detroit News, The Detroit Examiner, WJLB, WGPR, and the UrbanShooterPodcast.
