Start as a worker in a bakery. Decide if you really want to go into it for a career. Then if you do either the CIA, or Johnson and Wales both have good programs. Hope this helps.

Leslie’s Answer

If you want to be hired as a pastry chef at a top restaurant or resort, where you go to school matters, as is true with any other profession.

The top school for a pastry degree (in my opinion) is I.C.E. In NYC. Any school in France would potentially trump that on your future resume. CIA would be next, for any culinary degree.

If you are looking to be hired anywhere - not just at Michelin-starred places, a degree in pastry arts from any institution will get your foot in the door. And work experience. You’ll need both.

Now (during COVID) is the perfect time to start school if you haven’t done so yet. Find the program you want and apply: once you are accepted, find out if there are basics you can take online which will transfer for credit to your program, and start those as soon as you can to speed up the process.

Best of luck!
