A cake baking and decorating class for students entering grades six through nine was held as part of Northampton Community College's Horizons for Youth summer programs. The course was held at the Fowler Family Center on the Southside from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 20 through 23. The 10 students in the class learned how to bake cake pops, cupcakes and stacked cakes and learned the techniques of piping, filling cakes and decorating cookies with icing. Instructor Marilyn Frable has been teaching this class for the past 12 summers and said that the class will return on the list of offerings next summer.

The Horizons for Youth program has been around since 1993, offering a variety of classes for children in kindergarten through ninth grade. For more information, visit www. northampton.edu/continuing-education/for-kids/summer-programs.htm.
