The final term project was a piece of cake for students in the Baking & Pastry Arts program who had the challenge of creating a wedding cake to cap off the end of their program. Students were required to incorporate certain aspects into their cake such as flowers, piping and fondant, but had complete control over their design.
Now nearing the end of their one-year program, students Ariana Feltrin and Anna Nguyen put everything they had learned into their project. Feltrin’s cake (pictured on the left) follows a more classic design, while Nguyen’s cake (pictured on the right) goes for a romantic theme.

Reflecting upon their experience in the program, both Feltrin and Nguyen had nothing but positive things to say about their time in NC’s Canadian Food and Wine Institute (CFWI).
“I don’t think people realize the pressures that come with being a baker. Working in a kitchen requires you to be fast and accurate,” said Nguyen. “This program has really prepared me to be able to handle those demands.”
“All of the chefs here are very knowledgeable and have a lot of experience, they’ve all been so welcoming and have created a supportive learning environment,” said Feltrin.
The wedding cakes can be viewed in the Pastry/Chocolate Display room in the CFWI wing at the Niagara-on-the-Lake campus.
