ICE Chef Instructor Toba Garrett wasn’t always a master cake decorator, renowned for her unusually attractive, skilled and delicious confections. Her prior work experience spanned the fields of theatre, education and computer science, before she changed her life through culinary education. In her 20th year as a Chef Instructor at ICE, it could not be more fitting that Toba launch ICE’s brand new, 8-week professional development program: Techniques and Art of Professional Cake Decorating. We sat down with Toba to learn more about this exciting program and how she found her culinary voice.

ICE grad Leigh Koh Peart (Culinary Management and Pastry & Baking Arts '08) had an dynamic career in the music industry, but something wasn't quite right. She moved across the world to study at ICE, which led to externships and work opportunities with some of the industry's top bakers and pastry chefs. Today, she manages an extraordinary custom cakes business in London.
