The Baking & Pastry Program at Riverside City College focuses on professional learning objectives through our Career & Technical Education division. As the program unfolds, students within our community and surrounding areas will learn the fundamentals of baking and pastry arts, from yeast dough formulation to cakes and pastries from around the globe. Additionally, students will learn the proper food safety and sanitation practices set forth by industry benchmarks. This knowledge is captured through traditional styles of learning, as well as a hands-on approach where students can grasp a better understanding of the material. As they advance through the program, students continue representing their styles and cultural backgrounds through their plated desserts to advanced techniques such as chocolate and sugar artistry. Students are encouraged through critical thinking on how baking ingredients function and the roles they contribute throughout the baking process. To further enhance their knowledge and outreach within the community, students will need to communicate and collaborate with industry partners and leaders to solidify their learnings.
