Young & Healthy provides a vital lifeline to underserved children and families by connecting them with free medical, dental, and mental healthcare through a network of volunteer providers.
To show appreciation for these dedicated volunteer medical professionals, our CAHM student team worked hard to bake, package and deliver 52 specialty cakes to their organization!

* Texas Sheet Cake - Chocolate cake with a rich chocolate glaze
* Raspberry White Chocolate - White cake streaked with raspberry jam and dotted with white chocolate chips

We’re celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival by making mooncakes! Students from our Asian Cuisine 1 class created fillings like red bean, black sesame and lotus paste, all enrobed in a special pastry (agave, ap flour and grapeseed oil) and molded with intricate designs 🥮
The Mid-Autumn Festival, or Moon Festival, is a traditional Asian holiday honoring the harvest season and the full moon. It’s a time for family and gratitude, marked by traditions such as eating mooncakes and decorating with lanterns. The festival’s origins trace back over 3,000 years to ancient moon worship and moon celebrations around Asia 🌕
