Field Trip to Mission Pie

The day after graduation, we celebrated with the students by taking a field trip to Mission Pie in San Francisco (www.missionpie.com). During the last month of the program, the students participated in baking workshops led by Karoline Boehm-Goodnick and Ben Goodnick. Karoline is the General Manager of Mission Pie, and Ben is the Executive Sous Chef at Epic Roasthouse (www.epicroasthouse.com). It was such a privilege to have these two spend so much time with the students and teach them everything from cookies to pie crust to homemade bread. We couldn't possibly finish the class without taking a trip to Karoline's pie shop! We took a tour of the kitchen facilities, and then shared a mixed berry pie and a banana cream pie together at the cafe. It was such a nice way to end the class.
