Baking and Pastry Chefs: Career Training and Job Options


A Career as a Pastry Chef

  • Restaurants
  • Cafes
  • Resorts
  • Bakeries
In May 2009, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported a mean annual salary of $42,410 for pastry chefs.

Career Training Makes the Difference
Many independent culinary schools offer specialized college degrees or certification in pastry arts. Completing an accredited training program will increase your chances of being hired.
