EVIT holding Thanksgiving bake sale

Well, take the stress out of Thanksgiving this year and let local culinary students do the baking for you. The East Valley Institute of Technology is now taking online orders for pies, rolls, and more during its annual Thanksgiving bake sale. Anita Roman has more on how you can take part. If you think you're going to be busy on Thanksgiving, the students here at EVIT are going to bake about 400 pies, all orders, all orders, Chef, placed by the public. That's right. So we take a lot of pre-orders, but we also have a lot for sale on the days of pickup, which is November 23rd and 24th. What people may not know is that EVIT is really a school for high schoolers, so they can actually start learning about the different things that they're interested in, the culinary arts, for example. So tell us about the program here. The program here is a two-year program. First-year students will learn all of their basic mixing methods, ingredients, why things work the way they do. The second year, they put it all into practice, and this is a great experience because this is as close as they come to getting actual industry experience with the volume that they're getting. Yeah. I mean, 400 pies, but it's not just pies. You're making rolls. You're making so much more. They have to do all the work. They do. They do. And like I said, it's a great experience, and it's what EVIT is all about, giving them that hands-on experience so they can get a job in the industry. Tell me what you're making. We're making pumpkin cheesecake muffins. Oh my gosh, so it's like Thanksgiving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Yes. Okay, so what happens, I once made chocolate chip cookies and I didn't put the baking soda in. What do you think happens? Well, they most likely turned out flat. They turned out flat. They know what they're talking about. So how important is it to get and measure all the ingredients perfectly? It's pretty. It's really important, but, like, if you don't, there's a few ingredients you probably couldn't. Okay. You can't skip. You can't skip. What's on the menu this year for Thanksgiving? For Thanksgiving, we've got a big assortment of pies, the traditional favorites, pumpkin, apple, pecan. We're doing different types of rolls, white rolls, cottage cheese dill. We've got pumpkin cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake. We are doing cranberry orange quick bread. We are doing pumpkin toffee quick bread, banana walnut bread, and some cheesecakes, and blondies, brownies, and savory things as well. Sweet potatoes. I think next year you're going to have to add the turkey. I already snatched one of these rolls. They're absolutely delicious. Chef, how do people place their order? How do they find you guys?
