About Professional Pastry Diploma (Diplôme de Pâtisserie)
Why This Diploma Feels Different
At Lavonne, we live by "Khavanu Pivanu Majja Ni Life!" (Eat, Drink, Live Life!). For us, this diploma isn’t just a course - it’s the full chef experience, start to finish. If you want to get your hands messy, find your own style, and see how hard work in pastry can actually pay off, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Actually Learn
From day one, I’m in the kitchen with you:
- Deep dive into French pastry techniques - choux, tarts, petit gâteaux, entremets. We chase perfection, even if it takes a few tries.
- Bean-to-bar chocolate training. We don’t just temper chocolate; you’ll make it from scratch and build your own giant chocolate showpiece.
- Artisanal breads and viennoiserie – real talk, croissants aren’t easy, but you’ll get there. Babka too.
- Plated desserts workshop. You’ll design your own dessert degustation menu - expect weird ideas like salad-inspired sweets. That’s the fun.
People You’ll Meet
We bring in pastry chefs from all over the world, so every few weeks you get a masterclass - vegan pastries, real-deal gelato, advanced viennoiserie, you name it.
What Happens After
Besides baking, I’ll show you how to plan menus, budget, and even run a charity bake sale. You’ll leave with confidence to start your pastry chef entrepreneurship program or your own bakery, but also real friends for life. And yeah, we push you hard, but we’re always on your side.

My Story
Lavonne isn’t just a pastry school, we’re a wild mix of bakers, dreamers, and dhol beats. We remember every student’s story - like the engineer who turned chef, or the shy one who’s now running a bakery. We throw movie nights, dance to Gujarati tunes, and do flour mill field trips. New beginnings are scary, but you’ll never walk alone here. Once a Lavonnette, always family. Yeh hai hamara promise. (This is our promise.)
My Work
Courses for Every Baker - From hands-on pastry diploma to kids baking camp, we teach everything with sugar, flour, and lots of heart.
Learning Beyond Books - You’ll find dessert soirées, movie snack-offs, and culture days. Real fun, real skills, no boring lectures.
Lavonne Family Support - When you join, you’re a Lavonnette for life. Our alumni network and chef mentors always have your back.
Ingredient Field Trips - We visit cacao farms and local flour mills. Bean-to-bar chocolate workshop, anyone? You’ll know your craft from scratch.
