Pâtisserie and Confectionery
To participate in the patisserie and confectionery competition you will need your hands, your eyes and of course your taste buds! This skill is about creating hot and cold sweet treats using edible materials. It could be petit fours, chocolates, candies and many more, served everywhere from hotels and restaurants to specialist stores.
If you think about being a confectioner, you will need to be skilled in designing products using icing, chocolate, sugar and other sugar-based ingredients. This job involves using a lot of creativity but if ideas are to become a reality, it also requires solid cooking and catering skills. To succeed, confectioners should have a good sense of colour and form, hand-skill accuracy, and mastery of different food raw materials and techniques. It is also important for them to work in a hygenic, sustainable, economical and collaborative way.
