Tis the season for scholarships! Three lucky students have just been named as the official winners of this year’s annual Le Cordon Bleu Schools North America Market Basket Competition. Along with the distinction of whipping some stiff competition, the winners were presented with scholarships to aid their future studies at the California School of Culinary Arts.

Ten future students participated in the semi-annual event and three Californians received scholarships to attend the Pasadena culinary school.

The second and third place winners are from Canyon High School in Canyon Country.

Kayleigh Morton placed second in the competition and won a $2,000 scholarship for her Berry Tiramisu. Morton will begin classes in CCA’s Culinary Arts program in September 2009.

The third place winner in the Market Basket Competition was Kathryn Graham. She earned $1,500 in scholarship money for her Chocolate Honey Mousse.

The Market Basket Competition is a rigorous, two-phased contest consisting of a persuasive personal essay and a timed cooking competition between the essay finalists. The competition is held twice yearly, and December’s will be cuisine-based to counter this contest’s focus on pastries.
