MLES students link up with school food service to do some cookie decorating
The last two Wednesday after-school afternoons have featured a different type of “Santa’s Workshop” in the cafeteria at Mountain Lake Public Elementary School. Taher Food Service Director Tammy Wolle, Taher Food Service Employee Heidi Bergling, along with volunteer parents and older siblings, have been assisting participating students in grades kindergarten-through-six in baking up love for Christmas – with plenty of buttercream frosting on top.
First Wolle led participating students in adding the ingredients for the butter cream frosting to the mixer, and then, with a little food coloring added, the fantastic frosting artists decorated their half-dozen cookies. The cut-out cookies featured Christmas tree, star and bell shapes. A variety of toppings – from chocolate chips to an eclectic color array of sprinkles – punctuated the completed food art.
