Overview
The Sugarcraft Summer School has been designed to provide those who take part with “hands-on” experience of working in a commercial kitchen environment. It offers a unique opportunity to enhance current skills and to develop new techniques and knowledge that can be used to thrill friends and family or even provide the motivation to use new skills professionally and commercially.
The Summer School will include two visits to well-established patisseries in Edinburgh and Glasgow where participants will be able to sample professionally produced products.
This course runs over 5 days from Monday to Friday.
