Introduces students to the world of pastry and cakes, providing the technical and basic skills and techniques needed. The demonstration lessons and practical classes are geared toward working with pastry, creams and cakes and the elaboration of more traditional puddings. During classes, students also get to know the possibilities of each product through its origin and history.

The development of the techniques taught and the elaboration of traditional desserts in the Basic Certificate level allow students to approach high confectionery and work in the preparation of modern cakes. The level of difficulty increases and aspects such as creativity and decoration of the desserts acquire more importance. To complete the certificate, students demonstrate what they have learnt in a buffet that includes, in addition to the cakes, chocolates and desserts.

With a complete and solid knowledge of the techniques, students delve into the working methods and analyse the environment of high confectionery. During this trajectory, students will have to work on the elaboration of ice cream, cakes and petit fours, artistic creations using sugar and chocolate, and the preparation of desserts in restaurants.
