The new season of SLASTIČARNICA 2026/2027 at ŠKMER Kuharska Akademija brings a significant step forward in its training programme for pastry lovers and professionals. Alongside more than twenty one-day hands-on workshops, five intensive two-day programmes are being organised for the first time, designed for participants who want to master more demanding pastry techniques through more hours of practical work. Unlike the classic one-day courses, the two-day workshops allow a more detailed approach to each topic – from the correct selection and handling of ingredients to the final decoration and presentation of desserts. Over the two days participants have the chance to work through every stage of preparation step by step, correct any mistakes with mentoring from the chefs, and adopt the professional working methods used in modern pastry shops and restaurants. The programme is set up so that each workshop is devoted to one more demanding pastry area, leaving enough time to understand the technology of preparation, work with different textures and refine the precise techniques that are hard to master in a shorter format. The following two-day workshops will be held during the season: Chocolate (4 – 5 December 2026) – an introduction to working with chocolate professionally, correct tempering, making pralines, decorations and modern chocolate desserts. Cheesecake (8 – 9 January 2027) – preparing different kinds of cheesecake, from baked to modern mousse versions, with an emphasis on textures and finishing. Celebration cake (5 – 6 February 2027) – making modern cakes through every stage, from sponge and creams to assembly, coating and professional decorating. Puff pastry, lisnato tijesto (19 – 20 February 2027) – detailed mastery of laminating the dough, correct shaping and the preparation of different sweet products made from puff pastry. Monoporcije, mono portion desserts (5 – 6 March 2027) – making contemporary individual desserts, combining mousses, glazes, inserts and final decorations. Along with this new training block, the SLASTIČARNICA 2026/2027 programme also covers more than twenty one-day workshops on a range of topics – from timeless cakes and gateaux to modern desserts, international sweets and current trends in pastry. All the programmes are based on hands-on work led by professional, award-winning chefs, and they are meant for a wide range of participants – from beginners who want to build new skills to experienced pastry chefs and hospitality workers who want to broaden their knowledge and take up contemporary techniques. A single one-day workshop costs 80 euros, while the intensive two-day workshops cost 195 euros.
