Top Baking Schools & Pastry Chef Programs

Becoming a professional baker or pastry chef requires an enormous amount of training. Just because you prepare great bread or bake a delicous birthday cake doesn't mean you are ready for working in the restaurant industry.

If you ever dreamed of becoming an executive pastry chef or opening up your own bakery, I highly recommend you do some research and learn everything you can about what it takes to become a professional one.

You can start with my article called Becoming a Pastry Chef and then be sure to check out my interview with Certified Master Baker Leslie Bilderback.

Trained bakers and pastry chefs are in demand these days. Experienced chefs can earn upwards of $60,000 per year but remember you will still have to start at the bottom and work your way up. One way you can insure a better job and quicker route to the top is by getting a good culinary education.

It's critical to choose the right school that fits your needs and provides you the training and education you'll need to be successful.
