🧊 There’s more to culinary arts than what’s on the plate!

During Summer Semester we have an Ice Carving Lab! Our students experience combined creativity, precision, and patience to transform blocks of ice into eye-catching sculptures!

Swipe to see some of the fun! ❄️👏

🇺🇸 Our students spent the week learning the craft of fresh sausage making and gaining valuable hands-on experience in the kitchen. It was great to see their hard work and teamwork come together!

From all of us at the Iowa Culinary Institute, we hope everyone had a safe, happy, and delicious Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

Join us Thursday, June 25, 2026, at the Iowa Culinary Institute (DMACC Ankeny Campus) for an unforgettable evening that brings agriculture full circle—from cultivation to cuisine.

Land to Ladle is a farm-to-fork event benefiting the DMACC Future of Agriculture Scholarship, featuring student-raised ingredients and a heavy selection of hors d’oeuvres prepared by Des Moines Area Community College culinary students, served alongside the students who helped produce them. You’ll see the impact of DMACC’s hands-on learning across DMACC Agribusiness, Horticulture, Veterinary Technology, and Culinary Arts, all in one night.

Expect meaningful connections, a live auction, and plenty of opportunities to invest in the next generation of ag leaders.
