College-bound students create a winning ice cream and marketing campaign.
Sixteen local high school students with interests in science, culinary arts and marketing participated in the fifth annual Ice Cream University hosted by TIC Gums at the company’s Texture Innovation Center in White Marsh, Md. The program is modeled after Cornell University’s Food Science 101 course, a requirement for incoming freshman of the College of Food Science. TIC Gums, an Ingredion company, said it sponsored each student’s $500 program fee and provided home ice cream makers upon program completion.
The winning ice cream flavor, named Farmer’s Fight (a mixed berry, green tea ice cream with honey crunches), was created by Trey Wooten of Patapsco High School, Jonathon Parks of Fallston High School and Anthony Sulinski of Bel Air High School, TIC Gums said.
