Dominican Pastry Classes

When I lived in Brooklyn, NY I remember one of the Dominican restaurant and bakery that we would eat dinner at sometimes. I always marveled at how beautiful the cakes were—especially the wedding cakes. It looked like they took so much time to create since the the decorative icing was so intricate and involved. I wondered if there were any Dominican baking schools to learn to make this wonderful Dominican pastry or bizcocho Dominicano.

Well it appears that Dominican pastry classes are becoming popular with all types of chefs and cooks, not just those from or familiar with the Dominican Republic.
If you are interested in making a Dominican cake here is an excellent recipe and some tips and tricks to get you started.

But if you are interested to go to cooking school or take classes to really learn how to bake in this classic, traditional style there are some good places you can choose from. Some smaller pastry schools do have Dominican pastry and baking course and some culinary schools have international baking classes that do cover Dominican baking and cakes. If you attend pastry chef schools you will learn the techniques to bake this style.

Another option, which might be the best, is go to Dominican bakeries and see if they have classes or they know where you could take one.
