And what are some of the key techniques students can expect to master in this course? GUEST: We cover advanced techniques in bread making, cake decorating, and French pastry. It's hands-on, so students get to work with a variety of recipes and equipment. HOST: It sounds like a comprehensive program. Given your industry experience, could you share any current trends in baking and pastry? GUEST: Sure, there's a growing interest in plant-based and gluten-free options. Also, the artisanal bread movement is stronger than ever. HOST: Those are important trends to be aware of. Have you encountered any challenges in teaching these advanced techniques? GUEST: The biggest challenge is keeping up with the latest trends and techniques. But that's also what makes it exciting - the field is always evolving. HOST: That's true, and it's great that the course prepares students for that. As we wrap up, could you share your thoughts on the future of baking and pastry? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a focus on artisanal, sustainable practices.
