We offer training in all areas of pastry and baking. South Seattle Community College is one of very few colleges that offers a certificate and degree specializing in the Pastry and Baking disciplines.
Students learn entry level skills and progress to advanced techniques with practical laboratory experience in high quality pastry production focusing on European type products, including confections and display work.
With culinary skills, many students find work in restaurants, the hotel industry, pastry and specialty shops, cruise lines and resorts, bakery and candy companies, catering services, institutional food service operations, and for themselves.

The division works closely with industry leaders to develop program content. Progressive, innovative instruction in production and service surroundings is the basis for the program's renowned success.

Students operate multiple food outlets as part of their training:
* A casual dining café
* A formal dining room
* A retail Pastry Shop

Job placement is consistently between 95 and 100 percent for all graduates.

Our programs are accredited by the American Culinary Federation Educational Institute Accrediting Commission
