Pastry Schools
The restaurant industry is the nation's second largest employer, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics says that there is a growing trend toward dining out. Clearly, anyone interested in pursuing a career in the dining industry should have plenty of career paths to choose from.
But if your career preferences tend toward the sweet side, why not explore what pastry schools can offer you?
Getting Your Just Desserts with Pastry Schools While general culinary arts programs feature broad course offerings, from food sanitation, preparation, and storage to certain management topics, pastry schools are designed for those with a narrower focus. Pastry schools prepare you to become a pastry chef at a restaurant, resort, grocery store, or bakery.
The American Culinary Federation certifies pastry arts professionals, meaning that the stringent requirements to be considered a pastry chef are more rigid than those of the average cook. Employers seeking pastry chefs generally have exacting standards, and in this highly competitive field, completion of a pastry school program is the way to meet those standards.
What You'll Learn in Pastry School Pastry schools vary, but generally you can expect to learn bread making, cake decorating, the art of counter display, ingredient selection, topics in baking, and certain aspects of kitchen management. You might also choose to add candies, or organic or vegan desserts to your repertoire. Additionally, it may pay to consider adding courses in business or management to round out your training - particularly if you're considering owning or managing a bakery or restaurant in the future.
So if a career in desserts is in your future, pastry school may offer some sweet rewards. |
