2010 Continuing Education Schedule

The following schedule includes our confirmed professional-level and food enthusiast-level courses for first half of 2010. Please stay tuned to the website or Contact Us for updates.

The Continuing Education Courses are designed to bring new techniques to the pastry industry in a hands-on setting. Classes are offered to the pastry professional, culinary professional and food enthusiast. Students are taught by our Chef Instructors and Master Chefs from around the world. Each chef will teach you the latest in pastries along with the basics that are sure to impress your customers and friends.

All tools, equipment and ingredients will be provided for each student. The French Pastry School has a strict dress code.  Students are required to wear long black or khaki colored pants, kitchen-safe shoes (closed toe, skid proof, made from a hard protective leather material), and a chef’s jacket. Students may purchase a chef’s jacket from the school at www.frenchpastryschool.com/chef_jacket.html. Chef jackets will be shipped within 2 business days of receiving payment.  Special orders will take up to 6 weeks.  Everyone will receive an apron and a hat to keep.

As an added value, all Professional Continuing Education Courses at The French Pastry School will feature either a Three-Course Lunch or a High Tea.

Professional courses taking place from 7am-3pm will feature a three-course lunch. Courses taking place from 1pm-8pm will include a High Tea.
