SPECIALIZING IN CAKE DESIGN

The figure of the Cake Designer was born from the union of the figures of the artist and the pastry chef: he or she is a devotee of beauty and taste, constantly seeking culinary perfection.

In this fascinating branch of pastry, originally dedicated to the creation of wedding cakes, the decoration of cakes is just as important as their preparation. Passion, creativity and craftsmanship are the elements that characterize cake design professionals.

The IFA Cake Design Specialization Course teaches how to make cakes and desserts that taste and look unique and spectacular.

The expert in cake design can find employment in pastry shops and workshops specialized in the creation of wedding cakes, as well as in bistros, cafes and clubs that want to enrich their offer of pastry products with muffins, cupcakes and cakes of all kinds.
