ISLII Pastry & Bakery Certificate — Class Two
Overview

The advanced programme, built around the sixteen items that command the highest prices on a pastry counter. Macarons, tiramisu, tarts, churros and tiered wedding cakes each demand a technique the foundation class does not cover — and each one is worth learning precisely because most bakeries locally cannot do them well.
