Vegan Fusion Pastry Program

35h/week hands-on

A rigorous 4-week vegan pastry certificate programme covering the full spectrum of French pâtisserie — reinvented with bold, contemporary flavours. Week one builds the essential foundations: pastry creams, dessert sauces, tart doughs, and classic set creams from flan to crème brûlée. Week two tackles the great classical entremets — Fraisier, Black Forest, Charlotte, and Opéra — modernised with unexpected flavour pairings and refined technique. Week three is dedicated to laminated doughs: mille-feuilles, galette des rois, croissants, and modern viennoiserie including bi-colour and filled formats. Week four completes the journey through small French pastries, sablés, regional classics, and a full two-day vegan macaron workshop from shell to assembly.

Lunches included.

Lodging and dinners not included but available on request.
