A comprehensive introduction into the Art of Baking and Pastry. Developing a firm foundation in 7 key areas, you will be exposed to a wide array of techniques and products that form the building blocks of classical and contemporary desserts. You will cover technical handling skills, honed with practice as well explore the scientific aspects that contribute to the success in baking.

The Foundations level is ideal for people who have none or some prior experience to baking. Comfortably paced, we aim to teach you technical skills rather than just recipes.

For those taking the entire module, the fees will be $1600 nett per participant for all 8 sessions. 

An entire module is designated as 1 continuous intake and not different sessions from different intakes to make up 8 sessions.

We will need at least 48 hours notice if you cannot come to the class. There will be no make up class if it falls within 48 hours to the class date.
