Can a pastry apprentice learn something? How long does it take to learn it?

To learn baking, you should first go to a school that specializes in Western pastry to learn the basics of Western pastry. It only takes two or three months. They will teach you the basic methods and principles of making cakes and Western pastries. I don’t recommend it. Go directly to a cake shop as an apprentice. After all, you still need to learn some principles. For example, eggs, oil, and various functions of flour. What principles are used to shorten bread? There are many things that you need to master and learn some basic things before you can become an apprentice. Things are easy to understand and easy to learn. Making cakes naturally comes naturally. Making cakes seems simple, but it is also a very hard craft, so you have to be mentally prepared to persevere. As time and experience accumulate, your level will naturally increase. I wish you success
