Cupcakes and Fruit Carvings

Our Dietary Department was shining on Thursday, November 20 with
Cupcakes and Fruit Carvings!

In an attempt to select the perfect gourmet cupcake gift for our
professionals this holiday season, Juniper Village's Dietary Manager,
KenMiller and the Dietary Staff brought the management team together
for a blind tast testing. The Dietary Department created 6 different
gourmet cupcakes from which to choose. After rating the delicacies on
taste and overall appearance, the winners selected by majority vote
were Chocolate Mint and Dream Sickle!! What a delicious holiday
treat!

For the past few years our residents and guests have admired the fruit
carvings our Dietary Manager, Ken Miller displayed at our special
events. Many of the residents and their families had been asking how
was it done and was it something they could do? So this year as part
of our College of Lifelong Learning courses we scheduled Chef Ken to
teach a class on fruit carvings. Over a span of 2 evenings visitors
learned how to create beautiful flowers and carve intricate designs.
Along with the class, Chef Ken also demonstrated the art of Fruit
Carving for the residents. So, the next time you join us for a
special event, be sure to take a look at his beautiful fruit and
vegetable carvings on display.
