What's in the pastry case?
To recreate Cyril Lignac's recipes, you first need to assemble your basic equipment in your professional pastry kit . A rolling pin : a practical tool for rolling out puff pastry, shortcrust pastry, and sweet pastry. A spatula : perfect for stirring and mixing gently yet firmly. It also allows you to scrape the sides of the bowl and, most importantly, to fold egg whites into stiff peaks! We also have flat spatulas, in various sizes, which allow you to flip food without damaging your pans, and also to smooth your batters. You must have a whisk, a formidable ally for vigorously mixing your recipes. A cake pan: silicone, carbon fiber, stainless steel, non-slip, rigid—it adapts to your needs.
How to choose the right professional pastry chef's case?
Your baking recipes are waiting for you, so you need to get equipped! The crucial choice for any baking enthusiast is right in front of you: a soft or hard baking case? What to do? Find your perfect baking case!
Many brands offer them, for example you can find the Déglon professional pastry chef's case on our website.
The flexible structure, usually made of reinforced nylon with panels and flaps to stabilize your utensils, is ergonomic, easily transportable, and convenient to store. Lightweight, it requires care to avoid any impact as it is less robust. This type of case is popular with professionals due to its compact size and light weight.
The hard case, made of sturdy polymer, ensures the secure transport of your utensils; however, it will be less ergonomic to move and heavier. This type is the most common, since even though it is heavier, it allows you to transport your utensils safely.
Your professional pastry case contains everything you need and should be easy to transport. It's suitable for individuals, professionals, and apprentices.
It's up to you to make the choice that meets your needs.

How to become a pastry chef?
Are you passionate about the pastry chef profession and the art of viennoiseries, the wonderful smell of risen dough?
From the third year of secondary school (equivalent to 9th grade in the US), you can access the CAP (Certificate of Professional Competence) in pastry through an apprenticeship. There is also a vocational baccalaureate (Bac Pro) in baking/pastry or a vocational technical certificate (BTM) in pastry-confectionery-ice cream making and catering. It is also possible to pursue a two-year post-secondary qualification (Bac+2) leading to a master's certificate, for pastry chefs wishing to open their own business or those wanting to work in specialized industrial laboratories.
How to successfully complete your CAP Pâtisserie (pastry chef diploma)?
It's possible to take the CAP Pâtisserie exam as an independent candidate, and to do so, in order to succeed, the first and most important thing is to be well-equipped. You need to carefully choose your equipment, books, clothing, and ingredients! Once you have everything ready, you can begin. This is a delicate and costly step for independent candidates who are managing everything on their own.
The tests are composed of different parts:
The practical exam requires candidates to produce a dessert, a tart, choux pastry, and brioche dough within 7 hours. On the same day, two 15-minute oral exams will cover applied science and hygiene, manufacturing techniques, ingredients, and technical vocabulary.
Next, the written tests: one on Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) for 1 hour and the other on Supply and Stock Management for 2 hours.
Then, there are optional tests that allow you to increase your chances of obtaining the diploma, such as French, history-geography and math (if you have a CAP or a higher diploma you are not obliged to take the general tests).
Finally, to give yourself the best chance of success, you need to have confidence in yourself! And confidence starts with quality pastry chef clothing (like a pastry chef's jacket ), the same kind worn by your favorite chefs!
