[Sarah:] The pastry arts program sets you
up
for just about any sort of baking activity,
whether you want to bake in a bakery at a grocery
store
or in more of an artisan setting.
[Carolyn:] It’s one year… plus a summer
internship.
Most of our classes are labs–baking breads, cookies, pies, tarts, cake,
and
then filled chocolates like shells that you fill.
[Sarah:] I know two previous students
that are currently opening a new bakery.
[Carolyn:] I’ve always loved cake, and cookies, those
are things I’m really into.
So it’s kind of cool to be in this program,
because there’s a lot of other things that I wouldn’t probably make normally myself.
[Sarah:] I think it would set you up nicely for further
training like the Culinary Institute
of America;
anything like that that has a pastry program,
you’d be ahead of the
game.
