This advanced workshop immerses you directly in the demanding world of artisanal confectionery. Over four days, you will work on essential recipes such as marshmallows, nougats, caramels, and fruit jellies, while deepening your understanding of sugar cooking techniques.
Supervised by the Chefs of the Le Cordon Bleu Paris institute, the training places emphasis on rigour, precision, and autonomy in the laboratory, which are key skills for progressing in a professional environment.
Throughout the sessions, you will learn to work with specific raw ingredients such as sugar, pectin, and glucose syrup, and to understand their behaviour depending on the preparations.
Emphasis is placed on mastering sugar cooking, the use of professional equipment, and precision in technique, all of which are essential to achieve consistent textures and finishes.
Each technique is first demonstrated by the Chef, followed by immediate hands-on practice. You will then work individually or in pairs, with continuous guidance.
Beyond the recipes, the Chefs share their expertise, their working methods, and their professional standards, which is a real advantage for progressing quickly and gaining autonomy.
Specialising in confectionery opens up numerous opportunities: working in an artisanal shop, joining a high-end establishment, or progressing within the hospitality industry. The profession of confectioner also allows, with experience, the possibility of creating your own business.
Over time, some profiles progress to positions of responsibility, such as laboratory chef or production manager. This training therefore represents a key step in advancing in pastry professions and refining your expertise.
As this is a non-certifying programme, there is no formal end-of-programme assessment. However, a discussion session is scheduled at the end of the programme to enable participants to take stock of what they have learned.
