It is not said in vain that pâtisserie is an art. Sandi Planinšek is a chef by education and a passionate pastry chef by heart. Favorite desserts of this young and aspiring pastry chef are those in the shape of fruit, and he is currently creating his own style of desserts at a renowned restaurant. His dessert display case is reminiscent of a freshly picked autumn crop ranging from ripe pears to shiny hazelnuts. He is most proud of the hazelnut-shaped dessert, as he says it is technically the most demanding.
Any pâtissier needs to be well-versed in the basics, regardless of whether you are creating desserts only at home and for your loved ones, or you have already taken your home creations one step further. By sharing the basics of pâtisserie, Sandi will walk you through the online course ranging from the properties of the basic ingredients to the recipe for a delicious chocolate cake.
"The emphasis will be mainly on the practical part of obtaining skills, and after each part, I will challenge you to the BAM pâtisserie challenge."

“You are awesome!”

I hope to become at least somewhat of a patisserie master myself.
“Very instructive.”
Rating was given by Olivia K., 14.04.2021
It's interesting, lots to learn about ingredients and utensils, and the history and origin are also crucial ...

Excellent course!
“Loved it!”
Rating was given by Nancy H., 23.03.2021
Hats off to the master pâtissiers because they need a lot of prior knowledge in the basics of pâtisserie.
“Real fun!”
Rating was given by Megan T., 17.03.2021
I miss the demonstration of how to assemble the cake layer by layer. Otherwise, it’s a lot of fun, but stressful at the same time. Ideal for Corona times when we are all at home ...
“Great topics!”

The online courses are really great and I can’t wait for the next ones.
“You get all the useful information in one place”
Rating was given by Sophia B., 15.03.2021
Just the right contents for us amateurs. Lots of useful information in one place, no need to surf the internet for hours on end. I recommend Sandi's course on the basics of patisserie to all amateur bakers, and even to those who are more experienced in baking.
“Lots of useful information!”
Rating was given by Margaret S., 14.03.2021
I gained a lot of useful information. It might be a good idea to also show how to assemble the cake, for true beginners. Otherwise, very happy with the purchased contents.
“True master pâtissiers :)”
Rating was given by Cheryl L., 11.03.2021
All compliments to Sandi, but as a beginner, I’d have liked some more information on preparation ... The recipes could feature the method in more detail.
“You gain lots of new skills and knowledge!”
Rating was given by Claire D., 08.03.2021
I gained a lot of new theoretical knowledge and learned a lot of secrets that help make the dessert tastier. The explanation was occasionally a bit vague, but that doesn’t affect the end result and you still obtain a lot of quality knowledge.
“The BAM patisserie challenges are great!”
Rating was given by Sebastian O., 05.03.2021
I really like the BAM patisserie challenges at the end of each chapter. They allow me to test what I have learned and they stimulate my creativity. It’s excellent, I recommend it!
“Terrific online education!”
Rating was given by Susan C., 25.02.2021
I think that everyone who loves baking home desserts should download the contents and start with the online courses on basic pastry making techniques. I have to admit that up until now I didn't know you need to add some fat (almond flour, etc.) to the sponge batter to give it a better texture. I recommend it to everyone!
“Excellent!”
Rating was given by Matthew B., 23.02.2021
Impressed with the courses. I am already looking forward to new topics.
