Craftsmanship in Bakery and Patisserie

There is mystery in the way that simple ingredients – flour, water, yeast, salt, sugar – are transformed into bread or cake. But the process need not be mystifying. In fact, it is easy when you understand why. Revealing the 'why' and 'how' of bakery and confectionery and giving a hands-on experience, is the essence of this course. It engages beginners, enthusiasts and culinary professionals alike in a fascinating journey of culinary delights.

OUR SHOWCASE

The Annual Exhibition in February is the highlight of the year, where the students show their skills and talents by way of an elaborate display of fancy decorative cakes and icings, exotic breads, sugar craft and designer cookies. Pre preparation for the same commences weeks prior to the event. Extensive research on delicate icings, sugar moulding temperatures, cake mixes and batters, and types of bread based on different grains, along with the correct recipe balancing techniques culminates into action to create an end product which is not only mind boggling but also fascinating to the eye.
