The Scottish hospitality industry is large, vibrant and growing. It employs a significant proportion of the nation’s workforce. Cake production is a part of this sector, and the course can be seen as a gateway to the hospitality industry.
The course is practical and relevant to the world of work. It enables learners to develop a range of artistic techniques and to consolidate them through practical activities.
Drawing on all aspects of design, such as shape, colour, texture, balance and precision, learners are given the opportunity to produce a variety of individualised cakes and other baked items, and to creatively interpret a design brief.
