Students in ACC\u2019s Pastry Arts Program learn how to work with specialty ingredients and master basic and advanced techniques to make classic creations like bread, cookies, tarts, pies, mouthwatering chocolates, confections, and one-of-a-kind wedding cakes! Students learn in a commercial kitchen setting and gain the practical knowledge and experience to pursue pastry careers through catering, cake show competitions, and study abroad opportunities.
