Welcome, Laykin, creative assistant!

Introducing Laykin, bread baker, sign maker, food blog writer, and team member at Chocolates and Tomatoes Farm!

Laykin weighs ingredients as an intern at The Learning Kitchen at Chocolates and Tomatoes Farm

Some of you might remember Laykin from when she did her Frederick Community College Hospitality, Culinary, and Tourism internship at Chocolates and Tomatoes Farm (working in both the kitchen and farm fields). Maybe you have seen her helping out with a class or a Chef Dinner.

Or, maybe you saw some of her incredible artistry at the Willard Gingerbread Display last year. She was the lead creator for the National Museum of African American History & Culture.
