Ever time I goes to India, I see a great bunch of Motivated chef

Economy is growing and so is the need of Industry. surprisingly I don’t see Pastry chefs in India still understand the importance of training. Hotels does not have mean to train them,as they pay them huge salaries, and chefs feel that is the duty of hotels to help them upgrade their skills

Hotels school (since Majority chefs gradate as hotel Management ) are in bad shape in terms of Culinary or Pastry Training. I am sure they don’t even realize this part. students enrolling there to become chef does not have any ideaas, what is going to happen to them

Chocolate , Praline & Candy Making

Students who have a bit better resources , want to travel Europe , US and Australia

I am sure it does not make them a better chefs knowing, that “ACADEMY OF PASTRY ARTS ARTS” have opened their campus in Gurgaon and Bangalore. 2 truly International Pastry schools in the country

Academy of Pastry Arts India was Opened in 2015 in Gurgaon and recetly in January 2017, opened their second school in Bangalore. I think its a great start for India to have 2 world class International Pastry school in North & south. This ensure that students dont have to leave India for Pastry education and also for the students who wish to become chef, does not have to go through a 3 Years Hotel Management program

The Classic series program from Malaysia is run exactly is the same way. Also chefs from Malaysia do visit to Academy in India to take workshops on regular basis

India Pastry Forum was a great start with workshops conducted in Gurgaon, Bangalore and Mumbai

I see a new market of home bakers. Career changers from corporate who want to start some thing of their own. I am not a great fan of Fondant cakes with dues respect to all. because all the home the home bakers want to do the same thing

Master class in July 2017

Year 2015 and 2016 were great as Academy represent India and reach Asia Pastry Cup where they win Bronze. Theu also qualify them for World Pastry Cup 2017.
