After completing this course, you’ll have a deep understanding of how to transform classic tea and coffee time pastries into refined, contemporary creations — from mastering essential base recipes to applying the techniques used in luxury hotel execution.

You’ll put these skills into practice through hands-on creations including financiers, brownies, travel cakes, and pailles feuilletée, while learning how to adapt shapes, textures, and finishes to elevate each product.

By the end, you’ll be able to craft elegant, high-end pastries with precision and creativity, using a strong foundation in technique and ingredient knowledge to develop and refine your own signature style.

A list of recommended ingredients and equipment is provided in the workbook preview. While it’s helpful to review in advance, you don’t need everything to get started - workarounds are often possible.

The Callebaut ingredients used in our online courses are available through UK & Ireland online distributors.

For the UK, we recommend the Keylink Callebaut webshop:

Yes, you can watch the lessons at your own pace. The course is divided into short videos totaling around 2 hours, and you’re free to pause, resume, and revisit the content anytime during your access period.

While the online courses don’t include a live Q&A, we’ve anticipated many common questions. The instructor addresses key tips and potential pitfalls in the videos, and the workbook includes a detailed troubleshooting section to guide you through the process.
