Traditionally, culinary positions have not had an education qualification, but more often than not, companies are requiring culinary education to move into management positions. Completing this certificate of achievement with allow students to develop competencies in the following areas: production baking, safety and sanitation, and cake decorating. 

The discussion from the Advisory Board meeting allowed us to design the Baking and Pastry Degree program in a thoughtful way. Throughout the design process we considered other community colleges, what they offered, and their proximity to our campus.
