Overview
A Taste of the Professional Pastry Kitchen
Do many of your finest fantasies involve chocolate desserts? Does the mere mention of elegant French pastries or exquisite cakes make your heart race? If so, then The International Culinary Center’s Pastry Techniques course may just be what you’re looking for.

A Pastry Training Ground

Best of all, you'll do it at your own well-equipped workstation, in the same modern facilities used by the school's career students.
