The intermediate Pâtisserie Certificate is a 10-week course based on practice and repetition. As you begin to master important techniques, such as making a sponge cake or bavarian cream, your proficiency will allow you to focus on the decoration of your cakes. You will also be introduced to basic concepts of making showpieces such as chocolate piping and casting, using caramel and nougatine and preparing restaurant-style desserts. Under the guidance of our master patisserie chefs, students develop artistic skills necessary to prepare and decorate a variety of French desserts and pastries.
