One vendor even offered cookie decorating at their tent.
Students say planning the event teaches them the ins and outs of the hospitality business.
'Events are a big part of reasons why people travel. So that's a main reason why this class you plan an event. So it kind of all ties back into really seeing like how the course work is effective in real life,' Bay AICE student Jessica Smith said.
The event served as a final project for students in the Bay AICE Travel and Tourism class, which is part of the AICE program through Cambridge University. The course requires students to conduct two feasibility studies, decide on an event, write up a plan, and carry it out.
Aside from the dessert fest, some other events they have planned include a trip to Universal Studios, ice skating, beach clean-ups, and more.

Several thousand lined the street to see the floats pass by, with Krewe members tossing beads and other goodies to the crowd. The straight-line parade took place at 5:30. That's a walking parade with musicians from Lafayette, Louisiana, playing zydeco and Dixieland jazz. Besides the parades, families can enjoy a kid's zone and festival village. Two Bay High School teachers love story began at Bay High Tourism officials say Panama City Beach is gaining a reputation as a great place for families to celebrate Mardi Gras. 'I think what makes our mardi gras so special is what better combination than the beach and mardi gras festivities? And so you can come, you know, for a special weekend getaway and enjoy Panama City Beach, but also get to enjoy mardi gras. And I think that's a great combination,' Visit PCB Chief Marketing Officer Jayna Leach said. Musical entertainment took the stage at 6:00 p.m., with 'Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band' closing out the night.
