Professional Pastry and Confections

The wide range of confectionery products making their way onto the market has created the need for studying sweets and desserts as an entity of their own within the culinary arts. Given that classic confectionary techniques have evolved with the modern technology that now shapes the gastro world, this sweet culinary branch offers extensive study material. 

Daily pastry lessons are supplemented with field trips to renowned restaurants and food productions centers in Croatia as well as guest lectures from successful Croatian and international chefs. In addition, students take classes in enology and wine pairing. 

Upon successful completion of the program, Kul IN awards students with a certificate for a Pastry Chef.

Pastry Practicums

Baking and pastry-making are best learned through hands-on experience, which is why our curriculum is designed such that 80% of class time is dedicated to practicums. The practicums begin with the fundamentals so that students have the opportunity to build their knowledge on strong foundations.

Field Trips

During the program, students visit several local food production centers and small-scale local farms. The field trips help students better understand the production chain of the food industry, as well as preparation and storage techniques of various types of desserts, sweets, baked goods, and wine and coffee. Students are introduced to various brands of local produce from which they can learn to distinguish quality products and create contacts with local producers, pastry shops, and restaurants with pastry departments.
