Introduction

Becoming a pastry and confectionery chef is not enough

We train the next generation of 21st century professionals.

The world of pastry and desserts is trending.

Trends in healthy desserts, the chocolate industry's "bean to bar", respect for the product at origin, creative patisserie and the increasingly important integration of desserts in fine-dining menus, are all signs that indicate that the pastry, baking and chocolate industry is undergoing a transformation on a global scale.

Taking your first steps into the world of pastry, furthering your chef's training or obtaining the basic and practical principles that allow you to enter the dessert section, professional pastry or confectionery, are some of the reasons why students from all over the world decide to study the professional pastry and baking course at the Culinary Institute of Barcelona.

Our diploma in professional pastry has been designed to teach you the basics of sweet cooking and help you understand the science behind each creation, not by studying recipes, but by understanding formulation and conjugation in order to be able to innovate and create things that no one has ever done before.

The program has been designed as an evolving educational experience, involving challenges, practical learning and lessons from industry leaders. Day after day, week after week, students discover raw materials, apply techniques they have learned and transform the world of creams and fillings, whipped and enriched doughs, mousses, sponge cakes, basic desserts, ice creams and sorbets, biscuits, pastries and chocolates.

This is more than your average pastry course. It is an intensive 100% practical course in professional pastry, which will prepare you to enter the job market in just three months. It is an educational experience and personal transformation as part of the CIB's international ecosystem in Barcelona, one of the gastronomic capitals of the world and the number one choice for studying pastry and confectionery in Spain.

With international leaders in professional confectionery and artisan patisserie, this diploma demands a high level of performance and involvement from students, not only in terms of workshops and their learning, but also in terms of their immersion in the future of confectionery and in developing the skills and aptitudes required by confectioners, pastry chefs and chocolatiers in the 21st century.
