Mariana Ponce has come a long way since she was featured in The Sealy News two years ago. And now, she is on a new baking challenge in her life.
Ponce graduated from Sealy High School in 2021 and was awarded scholarships to attend the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary School in Austin. Ponce graduated on the President’s List and now is managing the sweet shop at Prasek’s in Sealy.
The Sealy Cotton Bolt Quilt Guild donated six quilts to the Sealy Fire Department. The quilt tops were pieced by the late Grace Holtcamp and quilting and finished by members of the Guild.
