Frequently Asked Questions about Patisserie

What is difference between patisserie and bakery

The course of bakery trains bakers who are skilled in preparing and baking rolls and bread loaves, with the option to specialise in dough making. Bakers usually begin work early in the mornings baking large amounts of bread working in a range of settings such as a retail bakery and factory. A baker can become a Pastry Cook with extra training.  

Being a pastry cook requires a combination of precision, passion, and creativity, and is mainly focused on baking and preparing sweet treats, including cakes, buns, pastries, and biscuits. Pastry Cooks produce small quantities of each item, because they usually need more time to make and put different elements together. Many Pastry Cooks begin their careers assisting Pastry Chefs in hotels, restaurants, or fine-dining settings, with the opportunity to eventually be promoted to a Pastry Chef.
