In the pastry production kitchen, the major US holidays often dictate our creative direction. If you’re feeling uninspired or burned out by your usual recipes, this class is for you!

Join us as we explore unique and exciting creations for Valentine’s Day, Halloween, New Year’s, and more. Led by Academy Chef Paul Yochum, you'll discover innovative ways to incorporate chocolate—an ever-popular ingredient—into your seasonal menus. We'll cover a variety of techniques across different pastry segments, providing you with fresh ideas and solutions to revitalize your holiday offerings.
