The Introduction to Pastry Arts Program was developed in collaboration with the founders of The French Pastry School, Sébastien Canonne, M.O.F., and Jacquy Pfeiffer, James Beard Award-winning author, who are both recipients of the French Legion of Honour Award. This course was developed with a focus on both knowledge and competency-based learning and includes dozens of assessment activities, including production activities that will be evaluated by your chef instructors.
Founded in 1995 by Chef Canonne and Chef Pfeiffer, The French Pastry School is the only major culinary school in North America dedicated to all things sweet and baked.

What Our Students Are Saying
Rouxbe has online education dialed in, the course materials and videos are top-notch. The learning model is as good as it can get for a remote class model. I have also done the professional cook certification program and this course was just as well designed. I really enjoyed the entire experience.
Michael T.
I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to take this course. The instructors are incredible, a great resource, and really want you to succeed. I was able to work it around my schedule, and still take a couple of trips during the timeframe of the course, and be able to complete it on time. I spent a good deal of time on it during the week but I looked forward to that time every day and feel that this was the next best thing to actually attending the school in person.

It was a great course and I am super happy I did it! It feels like a great accomplishment. Thank you so much for everything. All the feedback, the recipes, the information, and the time. It has been a wonderful experience.
