How does someone become a pastry chef?
There are a number of degree programs that can train an aspiring chef to become a pastry chef. Degree programs cater to many different specialties. Some focus on cakes, others on other types of desserts, and some on other baked goods, such as rolls and breads. These types of programs are generally for chefs who want to want to work at high-end restaurants and hotels. Pastry chefs who want to work more casually can often go to more simple culinary schools or, in some cases, train themselves.
