Most companies accept pastry chefs who have undergone certificate programs in pastry arts, however, there is a general preference to those who obtained an associate's degree focusing on the business and technical aspects of the job. Candidates who perform well in this position are passionate in pastry arts with a proven ability to follow recipes and instructions accurately. Organizational and time management skills are also valuable assets to the job. Due to being confined in the kitchen for most of the job, pastry chefs often work long hours on their feet so must be physically able to do so.
