Baker in Progress
Program Details
Meet Lia, a senior culinary student who began her work with LeBakery in May 2023. Lia's work includes preparing desserts: cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and pastries. Her experience in this fast-paced bakery has been nothing short of amazing. Working 20+ hours weekly, Lia has gone from observer to baker in a few short months. Lia lights up when talking about her work experience, and her supervisor mentioned her positive attitude and strong ability to take direction. She is working on iced sugar cookies and a multi-tiered wedding cake. Lia plans to enter a college culinary program upon graduating in May 2024. Her long-term goal is to open her bakery someday. Peoria Public Schools is proud of you, Lia!
