What Our Students Say...
“After completing my Diploma at Capsicum, I came to Dubai to pre-open a Japanese concept restaurant named Kyo Café and Lounge on Palm Jumeirah. I was offered to work here from May 2016 until September 2017 in the pastry section. I was offered a position in the pastry kitchen of Renaissance Hotel. This will be the first renaissance hotel to open in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. I will also work for the Morimoto Restaurant which is in association with the Renaissance Hotel in Dubai.”

“Experiencing every aspect of the industry is vital and I believe I gained that from Capsicum. Today, I have an awesome little shop, BillyBoo’s Cakery, where I service Cape Town and surrounds with macarons, custom cakes, and all the sweet treats for any celebration.”
Lianne Holt
Owner of BillBoo's Bakery. Diploma in Patisserie | Graduated in 2008
“My rationale for choosing the culinary arts was that as a chef I could still be an artist and do what I love ... which is to create. I chose to study at Capsicum as I had heard good things from an old school friend who eventually became a pastry chef.''
