This course is about the fundamentals of pastry, bakery and desserts preparation in a commercial environment. It will expose you to important aspects that you need to know to successfully run a catering outlet in a hospitality establishment. However, it should be stressed that this course only covers the theoretical aspects and need to be taught concurrently with the course Applied Culinary Arts 1: Pastry, Bakery and Desserts ACP 610S which solely takes place in the kitchen. Without doing the practical course at the same time, which will apply all the knowledge and skills learned in this course a full comprehension of the course will not be reached. You would agree that you cannot bake “with a book and a pen” as you need to go into a kitchen and really do it.
