Culinary Institute of Michigan students standing with their ACF Sanctioned Competition medals
On Saturday, November 10, 2018, students from the Culinary Institute of Michigan's Muskegon and Port Huron campuses earned bronze, silver, gold and best in show medals at the ACF Sanctioned Competition held at the CIM Campus in Muskegon, Michigan.
This event assessed the culinary prowess of the competitors in several areas including cooking, patisserie/confectionery, showpieces, mystery basket, ice carving, contemporary hot food and more. Each performance was evaluated against a set national standard via scorecard, rather than against each other.
Baker College congratulates all the participants from the CIM Port Huron and Muskegon teams for their hard work and fine representation of themselves, our institution, and their community and families! You all truly exemplify what it means to be BakerProud!
