Students and staff from the school recently participated in the “Evening of Sweet Indulgence” at the UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center, earning top-three honors in the dessert category for its “Mini-Tropical Fruit Taco.”
“Top three is unbelievable, considering the competition,” said
Chef-Instructor Carley Engle. “I can’t tell you how many people came up to us and said we had the best dessert because it was pretty much the only one without chocolate in it.”
