Pastry Arts Program Overview

In almost every restaurant or food service establishment, dessert is part of the menu. Unlike the balance of the menu, cooks and chefs do not produce dessert items. Someone produces desserts with a specialized knowledge in baking. Therefore, whether produced in-house or purchased from an outside supplier, the Executive Chef relies on people who have knowledge in this specialized area. A diploma in Pastry Arts from York Technical Institute will give you the specialization you need to succeed as a pastry chef.
