There are no repeats allowed in this course so students who have taken this course will be asked to drop the course and come in on a volunteer student basis and be part of our Baking Production Team. You can only take this course once until further notice. INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS: In the Professional Baking course, recipes and techniques are discussed and/or demonstrated by the chef instructors. Videos are used to further enhance the knowledge of the student when viewing techniques and cooking methods. Students then prepare the lesson as instructed or demonstrated, all students working in groups or individually to produce the required competencies. Periodic use of videos, Multi-media presentations and guest speakers augment the curriculum. OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this course, students will have an understanding of, or be able to apply the following principles and concepts: 1. To gain an appreciation of the art of baking 2. To understand the functions of ingredients in the baking/ pastry process 3. To understand correct working methods of professional baking techniques 4.

To successfully execute basic baked goods as mentioned in the course description UNIFORM CODE: Students must be in proper CAI school uniform at all times. White skull caps and bistro aprons are necessary only if food is being prepared. By law, students must wear appropriate attire in the food production laboratory. It is the student s responsibility to be dressed in clean, proper attire for all lab periods. If you are not dressed appropriately/complete uniform, you will not be admitted to class, and you will be given an absence for the day. If you are passing through or working in the kitchen, you must be in uniform. NO EXCUSES! COMPLETE UNIFORM: White Chef Coat, white bistro apron, white skull cap, heavy non-slip black shoes with shoe laces/ties or clogs, black or white socks, and hounds tooth/checkered pants.

No earrings (studs ok), nose rings or facial piercings. Completely clean shave or beard and mustache trimmed neat to ¼ inch in length. You will be sent home if you have not shaved and can only return if you have shaved. ATTENDANCE: Culinary Arts Institute s attendance policy approximates the expectations found in a working situation. It is essential that each student learns the discipline of regular and prompt attendance as well as the skills involved in the culinary arts and hospitality industries. At the time the student moves from training into a career, the employer will be very interested in dependability and punctuality. No matter how skilled the person, an employee is valuable only when present on the job. The faculty and staff of Culinary Arts Institute @ LAMC consider each moment in class imperative for success. When the student is not in the classroom, the information missed cannot be recaptured. MISSED WORK: If a student arrives late to class, and a test is still in progress, the student may take the test with no penalty. If a student misses a test or an assignment, the test/assignment will have ten (10) points deducted from the score. The student must contact his/her chef instructor to arrange to make-up the test/assignment prior to his/her return to the next scheduled class. If a student does not contact the chef
instructor to make-up the test assignment before the day he/she returns to the next scheduled class, the student will receive a zero (0) for the test/assignment. SPECIAL CATERING EVENTS: Occasionally as part of your learning environment in the Culinary Arts Institute, you will be asked to participate in food preparation and baking for catering events for the college. This enhances your experience in the kitchen and makes you a stronger culinary arts student. LAB CHECKS OUT REQUIREMENTS: Food is not to be taken out of the lab unless authorized by the chef instructor. All pantry supplies and equipment returned to proper storage area before class ends. Class hours must be adhered. All cutting boards stacked in order of color for the next class All workstations and sinks cleaned and wiped dry.
