What Sort of Education Does a Pastry Chef Need?
You could have all the passion for pastries in the world, but without the right kind of education in pastry making you won’t be able to turn your vision into reality. Being a successful chef needs creative flair, but a scientific education is particularly important for the pastry chef — you need it to make sure your mixes are in the right proportions and that you are cooking at the right temperature. To get the education you need to be a successful pastry chef, look for a baking and pastry program at culinary school, or take a more generalized culinary arts qualification and then specialize in pastry making.
