The École Nationale Supérieure de Pâtisserie (ENSP), a world-renowned school in the arts of pastry and ice cream located in Yssingeaux, France, is enriching its training offer with the creation of a Diplôme d’Expert en Pièces Artistiques (Expert Diploma in Artistic Pieces).
This new program has been specially designed for pastry professionals wishing to enhance their skills and progress in the artistic sector. The objective is to develop artistic creations, notably with the production of Optical Illusion cakes, chocolate and sugar pieces and ice sculptures, as well as exceptional pieces such as wedding cakes and croquembouches.
One of the strengths of this intensive program is its personalised and differentiated approach, with 96% of the skills acquired through practice.
“Acting as a truly artistic support, the Chefs will cover sugar art, ice sculpture, artistic pieces in chocolate, wedding cakes, croquembouches, nougatine pieces and ‘fake cake’,” said Luc Debove, Director and Executive Chef of the ENSP, Meilleur Ouvrier de France and World Ice Champion. “The training has been designed to give students all the tools they need to perform in the face of ever-increasing customer demand.”
The Diplôme d’Expert en Pièces Artistiques will be delivered in English over a period of eight weeks, starting on 3rd July 2023.
