Let your artistic talent and passion for food come together in this intensive, fun Boot Camp experience. Success in pastry making depends on both a mastery of techniques and a highly creative mind. After this five-day course, you’ll be able to prepare all those amazing fresh hot pastries and desserts you find at the pâtisserie right in your own home.

At Pastry Boot Camp, you will learn the fundamentals of pastry and the techniques used in creating basic preparations such as laminated dough, pastry creams, crème anglaise, pâte à choux (éclairs and profiteroles), mousses and bavarians, sponge cakes, and buttercreams and tarts.

You’ll also get a taste of the CIA as you enhance your pastry prowess:

• Indulge in a chocolate tasting.
  
• Explore a variety of coffee, tea, and dessert wines.
  
• Tour the CIA campus.
  

When you enlist in CIA Pastry Boot Camp, you will receive two chef’s uniforms, each with a jacket, pants, and a neckerchief. Paper chef’s hats, side towels, and aprons will be provided in class.
