PHOTOS FROM THE DESSERT TRENDS EVENT
 
A good time was had by all in the Dessert Trends' workshop in Charleston, October 16-18.  We had some exceptional presentations on subjects ranging from industry trends to chocolate/cheese pairings...we heard about street desserts; re-making traditional dishes; gluten-free presentations; and how to incorporate jams/jellies into your curriculum.
 

PowerPoints will be posted as they become available.
 
Many thanks to Culinary Institute of Charleston at Trident College for hosting the event.  Their team of instructors and their hospitality could not be beat!
