On Rosalie's team, there was a very traditional gingerbread house. Toby's house was decorated with colorful icing . 

This Week for Exploratory period the middle/high school girls made cupcakes. During the morning Rosalie and Christy put together a cake mix and then baked the cupcakes. Then after the cupcakes had fully cooled we all got together to decorate and ice the cupcakes. Once we had made the icing and added lots of different colors to make black/orange we iced the cupcakes. 

For our field trip here in beautiful San Francisco, we took a tour of Semifreddi's bakery. Our tour guide was part owner Michael Rose. We learned all about the chemistry of their amazing sourdough breads, the anatomy of wheat, and how the 4 ingredients; flour, water, salt, and yeast, are crafted into amazing breads. After the tour was over, we had a quiz which was easily answered with full participation.
