Thanks to the wonderful support of our 2020 FLOC Forum Sponsors, Chef Participants and Attendees our Foundation has made great strides at broadening our reach and is making great plans for 2021. We are excited to announce the dates of the FLOC Pastry Educational Forum and Spectacle taking place over two days, February 25th and 26th, 2021 at Washburne Culinary & Hospitality Institute. The FLOC Educational Pastry Forum is a Pastry and Baking Community where over two days our Chef and Student Citizens learn, experience and connect. We then showcase our Pastry Chef Community as it mentors and supports the next generation of Pastry Citizens at the Scholarship fundraising Pastry Spectacle of the year, ChiTown Blues. Come join the FLOC Community!
The FLOC Educational Pastry Forum offers a series of ten seminars taught by international luminaries of the pastry industry, drawing chefs and students from all over the country. The Forum offers a curated Pastry and Baking trade show, break out sessions, panel discussions, and demonstrations geared for the pastry professionals and students.
