End of school year for the Agroecology & Pastry School

End of school year for the Agroecology & Pastry School

After a year of learning agroecology and pastry skills, and a 4-month internship, our students are heading into the professional world.
Looking back, from September to mid-December, students did practical internships to apply what they learned. This gave them valuable skills for their future jobs.

Students explored different areas – some worked on farms with animals, while others focused on growing peppers or gardening. Pastry students did internships in hotels and restaurants.

Many students chose to do their internships in places like Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, and Kampot, broadening their horizons.

“I’m Loeu Sameng, 20, from Rotanah Kiri, a third-year student at the School of Agroecology at Bayon Education and Development.
In my one-year study, I learned food processing, breeding, and husbandry. My 3-month internship on a cattle farm in Kandal gave me new skills in working with cows, teamwork, leadership, and marketing. Thanks to the School of Agroecology and Bayon Education Development!”

After the internship, students presented reports to a jury of teachers and professionals. Then, at the diploma ceremony, 20 students from the class of 2023 proudly received their agroecology and pastry diplomas.

We wish them all the best in their next adventure!

A week dedicated to the art of pastry with the visit of Chef Fabrice Prochasson!

A week dedicated to the art of pastry with the visit of Chef Fabrice Prochasson!

From December 11 to 18, the Pastry School had the privilege of once again welcoming Chef Fabrice Prochasson, sponsor of the 2023 class of students.

Fabrice Prochasson, Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 1993 and Director of innovation and partnerships at Coup de Pates (www.coupdepates.fr), supports the school each year by training our 20 students and our teaching teams for a week in techniques exceptional in the profession.

This week took place with three major events: the creation of the lemon pistachio flavored Christmas log, the graduation of the students from the Pastry School, and a cocktail at the end of the week entitled “Sweet Celebration: A Culinary Showcase of Macaron Spirit.”

The lemon pistachio flavored log is a solidarity recipe imagined by Fabrice Prochasson, co-signed with Sokhoeurn Morn, pastry chef at the Pastry School. This week was an opportunity to perfect it with the students in order to offer it for sale for the end of year celebrations at the Coffee Shop. Good news, if you are in France, you will also have the opportunity to taste it, because “Coup de Pates” will also market it.

In the middle of the week, the 20 students were awarded not one, but two diplomas! The first delivered by Chef Fabrice Prochasson to congratulate the young girls for their professional work and their diligence. The second diploma was awarded by TDSO, an association which trained our students in learning the English language.

In order to present the work carried out during this week, we organized a cocktail at the end of the week, “Sweet Celebration: A Culinary Showcase of Macaron Spirit”, in the presence of our partners, clients and friends of the Bayon school. Our guests were able to enjoy original macaroon recipes, savory canapes and the famous lemon pistachio log, all in a very pleasant atmosphere in the Coffee Shop garden.
