Lanczak's Advanced Patisserie Operations class culminated Friday morning in a baking and pastry "trade show" in the Hager Lifelong Education Center. For months, the students have had to specify equipment needed by their fictitious business, as well as pricing and packaging; to write job descriptions, orientation and training plans, and performance evaluations; and to demonstrate interviewing skills. Samples of the students' products, along with flyers and business cards, also were available.
