PatissierPath
Bench. Brief. Bake.
A training programme for the home patissier. Forty-one techniques, weeks woven around the ones your hands have done least, rank exams you bake in your own kitchen — and a coach that turns a failed bake into the drills that fix it.
41 techniques
5 ranks
9 exam bakes
18 medals
60 quiz questions
The programme
A syllabus for the bench.
Five ranks, from Apprentice to Master Patissier. Each one opens on three counters you can read at a glance: days practised, techniques studied, exam sat.
Your week, already woven
Four bench days and one theory day, built from the techniques your hands have done least. Timed drills, rep counts, a five-question quiz.
Drill at the bench
Every technique opens with gram-precise steps and its own list of faults. Run the drill against the clock; three finished drills and it counts as mastered.
Sit the exam
Bake the rank dish in your own kitchen and score it against a written rubric — the app never claims to see the pastry. Pass 80% of the criteria and the next rank opens.
What's inside
Everything a kitchen classroom would give you.
No recipes to scroll past. A library, a plan, a clock, an examiner and a coach — and the record of everything your hands have done.
The technique library
Forty-one techniques across six families, from Pate Sucree to puff lamination and tempered bonbons. Every step written with grams, degrees and minutes.

Faults get named
Each technique carries its own faults, written as the sign you see and the cause behind it — so a bad bake tells you something instead of nothing.
Meringue weeps syrupSugar went in before the whites had structure.
A coach that writes drills
Something cracked, sank or wept? Describe the bake and the coach reads the details, names the cause and writes the corrective drills straight into your plan. Once a week it reads your week and fixes the next one.
The daily quiz New
A short check on what your hands have already done — never on what is still ahead. Five questions, every other day, drawn from the techniques you've actually drilled.
Exams & specialty bakes New
Five rank exams, from a single tart shell to a forty-bun croquembouche. Off the ladder, four specialty bakes — Strawberry Tart, Paris-Brest, Glazed Entremet, Saint-Honoré — open once you've practised what they're built on.
Eighteen medals
Every one of them is earned by something the app can actually see in your record — a seven-day streak, a clean week, a hundred drills. No participation awards.

Five ranks
From Apprentice to Master Patissier.
Each rank has one exam, sat in order. You bake it, you judge it against the rubric, and the app keeps the score honest.
- Three counters per rank — practice days, techniques studied, exam sat. When all three fill, you're promoted.
- Written rubrics — six or seven criteria per dish. Judge the eclairs as a set; judge the bonbons a full day after capping.
- Fail, and the coach takes over — a failed exam hands its details to the coach for a debrief.
