Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts is one of the institutions that cements Pasadena's standing as a bona fide college town!
A team of 14 aspiring chefs hand-picked by instructor Alicia Boada worked tirelessly under her direction for days to perfect a magnificent three-foot-tall, six-tiered cake replica of Pasadena City Hall to help celebrate the city's 124th birthday.

ReplyDeleteAin't it grand?! The sponge-cake tiers were devoured today at the birthday party; the architecturally correct top tiers will be on display at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts -- in the window for all to see, I'm told.
ReplyDeleteYou did a grand job on covering this cake!
ReplyDeleteJust one question: how many slices did you have?
Fantastic! I love the photos. I got a chance to see the cake in progress and I'm wondering how they got that overhead shot of the chefs at the table. Wunderbar.
ReplyDeleteFabulous. I always read the CakeWrecks blog. Perhaps you could submit this for her Sunday Sweets post. I think this definitely qualifies!

The long hours spent studying their craft is our good fortune. I'm going to make sure I drop by Le Cordon Bleu window display for a visit
